MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, Oct. 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Please find attached for release to the market, Kincora Copper Limited's presentation on its flagship and brownfield Trundle copper-gold porphyry project.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)
Trundle Project background
The Trundle Project is located in the Junee-Narromine volcanic belt of the Macquarie Arc, less than 30km from the mill at the Northparkes mines in a brownfield setting within the westerly rift separated part of the Northparkes Igneous Complex ("NIC"). The NIC hosts a mineral endowment of approximately 24Moz AuEq (at 0.6% Cu and 0.2g/t Au) and is Australia's second largest porphyry mine comprising of 22 intrusive porphyry discoveries, 9 of which with positive economics.
The Trundle Project includes one single license covering 167km2 and was secured by Kincora in the March 2020 agreement with RareX Limited ("REE" on the ASX). Kincora is the operator, holds a 65% interest in the Trundle Project and is the sole funder until a positive scoping study is delivered at which time a fund or dilute joint venture will be formed.

Drilling, Assaying, Logging and QA/QC Procedures
Sampling and QA/QC procedures are carried out by Kincora Copper Limited, and its contractors, using the Company's protocols as per industry best practise.
All samples have been assayed at ALS Minerals Laboratories, delivered to Orange, NSW, Australia. In addition to internal checks by ALS, the Company incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards and blanks for 5% of all assayed samples.
Diamond drilling was undertaken by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from Parkes, under the supervision of our field geologists. All drill core was logged to best industry standard by well-trained geologists and Kincora's drill core sampling protocol consisted a collection of samples over all of the logged core.
Sample interval selection was based on geological controls or mineralization or metre intervals, and/or guidance from the Technical Committee provided subsequent to daily drill and logging reports. Sample intervals are cut by the Company and delivered by the Company direct to ALS.
All reported assay results are performed by ALS and widths reported are drill core lengths. There is insufficient drilling data to date to demonstrate continuity of mineralised domains and determine the relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths.
True widths are not known at this stage.
Significant mineralised intervals for drilling at the Trundle project are reported based upon two different cut off grade criteria:
- Interpreted near surface skarn gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.20g/t and 0.10% respectively; and,
- Porphyry intrusion system gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.10g/t and 0.05% respectively.
Significant mineralised intervals are reported with dilution on the basis of:
- Internal dilution is below the aforementioned respective cut off's; and,
- Dilutions related with core loss as flagged by a "*".
The following assay techniques have been adopted for drilling at the Trundle project:
- Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported, unless above detection limit where the interval is re-assayed using fire assay method with atomic-absorption finish (Au-AA26 method of ALS). The technique allows accurately determine the gold grade above 0.01 g/t and suitable for high – grade samples where grade exceeds 10 g/t.
- Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter report for TRDD001 and former reported for holes TRDD002-TRDD022.
- Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis) has been assayed, but not reported.
- Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed.
The following assay techniques have been adopted for drilling at the Fairholme project:
- Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported.
- Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter report for KFHD005.

Commentary
|
Sampling
techniques
|
- Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
- Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
- Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.
- In cases where 'industry standard'
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay'). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information
|
- Kincora Copper Limited is the operator of the
Trundle Project, with drilling using diamond coring
and Air coring methods by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd,
from which sub-samples were taken over 2 m
intervals and pulverised to produce suitable aliquots
for fire assay and ICP-MS.
- Diamond drilling was used to obtain orientated
samples from the ground, which was then
structurally, geotechnically and geologically logged.
- Sample interval selection was based on
geological controls and mineralization.
- Sampling was completed to industry standards
with 1⁄4 core for PQ and HQ diameter diamond core
and 1⁄2 core for NQ diameter diamond core sent to
the lab for each sample interval.
- Samples were assayed via the following methods:
- Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay)unless above
detection limit where the interval is re-assayed
using fire assay method with atomic-absorption
finish (Au-AA26 method of ALS). The technique
allows to accurately determine the gold grade
above 0.01 g/t and suitable for high – grade
samples where grade exceeds 10 g/t.
- Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion
with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and
ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES &
ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements)
- Copper oxides and selected intervals with
native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion
with ICP-AES analysis) has been assayed, but
not reported
- Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper
are re-assayed
- Historic sampling on other projects included soils,
rock chips and drilling (aircore, RAB, RC and
diamond core).
|
Drilling
techniques
|
- Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling
bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).
|
- Drilling by Kincora at Trundle has used diamond
core drilling with PQ, HQ and NQ diameter core
depending on drilling depth and some shallow depth
Air core drilling.
- All Kincora core was oriented using a Reflex ACE
electronic tool.
- Historic drilling on Kincora projects used a variety
of methods including aircore, rotary air blast, reverse
circulation, and diamond core. Methods are clearly
stated in the body of the previous reports with any
historic exploration results.
|
Drill sample
recovery
|
- Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
- Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
- Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
|
- Drill Core recovery was logged.
- Diamond drill core recoveries are contained in the
body of the announcement.
- Core recoveries were recorded by measuring the
total length of recovered core expressed as a proportion
of the drilled run length.
- Core recoveries for most of Kincora's drilling were
in average over 97.1%, with two holes averaging 85.0%
- Poor recovery zones are generally associated with
later fault zones and the upper oxidised parts of drill holes.
- There is no relationship between core recoveries
and grades.
|
Logging
|
- Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
- Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc.) photography.
- The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
|
- All Kincora holes are geologically logged for their
entire length including lithology, alteration,
mineralisation (sulphides and oxides), veining
and structure.
- Logging is mostly qualitative in nature, with some
visual estimation of mineral proportions that is
semi-quantitative. Measurements are taken on
structures where core is orientated.
- All core and Air core chips are photographed.
- Historic drilling was logged with logging mostly
recorded on paper in reports lodged with the NSW
Department of Mines.
|
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
|
- If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
- If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
- For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
- Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
- Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
- Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
|
- Once all geological information was extracted from
the drill core, the sample intervals were cut with an
Almonte automatic core saw, bagged and delivered to
the laboratory.
- This is an appropriate sampling technique for this
style of mineralization and is the industry standard for
sampling of diamond drill core.
- PQ and HQ sub-samples were quarter core and
NQ half core.
- Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the
disseminated, generally fine-grained nature of
mineralisation being sampled.
- Duplicate sampling on some native copper bearing
intervals in TRDD001 was undertaken to determine if
quarter core samples were representative, with results
indicating that sampling precision was acceptable.
- For air core holes, sampling used PVC spears into
the rock chip bags that were collected from the drill rig
cyclone at 1m intervals.
- Following high grade gold assay results received for
a 2 meter interval in TRDD032 (from 850m), re-assays
for three 2 meter samples where undertaken from reject
samples (the coarse part of samples) seeking to confirm
the original high grade interval (12.55g/t gold) and also
to test if quarter core samples were representative.
- Duplicated values for the two adjacent 2 meter
samples were in-line with both gold and base metals.
For the original high grade 2 meter sample (from 850m)
both re-assay results were materially higher
(via Au-AA26), and base metals higher than the original
results. Kincora has reported the average of the assay
results for both gold and base metals.
- No other duplicate samples were taken.
|
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
|
- The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
- For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
- Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.
|
- Gold was determined by fire assay and a suite of
other elements including Cu and Mo by 4-acid digest
with ICP-AES finish at ALS laboratories in Orange
and Brisbane. Over-grade Cu (>1%) was diluted and
re-assayed by AAS.
- Techniques are considered total for all elements.
Native copper mineralisation in TRDD001 was
re-assayed to check for any effects of incomplete
digestion and no issues were found.
- For holes up to TRDD007 every 20th sample was
either a commercially supplied pulp standard or pulp
blank. After TRDD007 coarse blanks were utilised.
- Results for blanks and standards are checked upon
receipt of assay certificates. All standards have
reported within certified limits of accuracy
and precision.
- Historic assays on other projects were mostly
gold by fire assay and other elements by ICP.
|
Verification
of sampling
and assaying
|
- The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
- The use of twinned holes.
- Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
- Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
|
- Significant intercepts were calculated by Kincora's
geological staff.
- No twinned holes have been completed.
- The intercepts have not been verified by
independent personal.
- Logging data is captured digitally on electronic
logging tablets and sampling data is captured on
paper logs and transcribed to an electronic format
into a relational database maintained at Kincora's
Mongolian office. Transcribed data is verified by
the logging geologist.
- Assay data is received from the laboratory in
electronic format and uploaded to the master
database.
- No adjustments to assay data have been made.
- Outstanding assays are outlined in the body
of the announcement.
|
Location of
data points
|
- Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
- Specification of the grid system used.
- Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
|
- Collar positions are set up using a hand-held GPS
and later picked up with a DGPS to less than 10cm
horizontal and vertical accuracy.
- Drillholes are surveyed downhole every 30m using
an electronic multi-shot magnetic instrument.
- Due to the presence of magnetite in some alteration
zones, azimuth readings are occasionally unreliable
and magnetic intensity data from the survey tool is
used to identify these readings and flag them as
such in the database.
- Grid system used is the Map Grid of Australia
Zone 55, GDA 94 datum.
- Topography in the area of Trundle is near-flat and
drill collar elevations provide adequate control
|
Data spacing
and distribution
|
- Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
- Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
- Whether sample compositing has been applied.
|
- Kincora drilling at Trundle is at an early stage, with
drill holes stepping out from previous mineralisation
intercepts at various distances.
- Data spacing at this stage is insufficient to establish
the continuity required for a Mineral Resource estimate.
- No sample compositing was applied to Kincora drilling.
- Historic drilling on Trundle and other projects was
completed at various drill hole spacings and no other
projects have spacing sufficient to establish a
mineral resource.
|
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
|
- Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
- If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
|
- The orientation of Kincora drilling at Trundle has
changed as new information on the orientation of
mineralisation and structures has become available.
- The angled drill holes were directed as best
possible across the known lithological and
interpreted mineralised structures.
- There does not appear to be a sampling bias
introduced by hole orientation in that drilling not
parallel to mineralised structures.
|
Sample
security
|
- The measures taken to ensure sample security.
|
- Kincora staff or their contractors oversaw all stages
of drill core sampling. Bagged samples were placed
inside polyweave sacks that were zip-tied, stored in a
locked container and then transported to the laboratory
by Kincora field personnel.
|
Audits
or reviews
|
- The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data
.
|
- Mining Associates has completed an review of
sampling techniques and procedures dated January
31st, 2021, as outlined in the Independent Technical
Report included in the ASX listing prospectus,

Geology
|
- Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
|
- All projects ex EL7748 (Condobolin) and EL9340
(Condobolin East) are within the Macquarie Arc,
part of the Lachlan Orogen.
- Rocks comprise successions of volcano-sedimentary
rocks of Ordovician age intruded by suites of
subduction arc-related intermediate to felsic
intrusions of late Ordovician to early Silurian age.
- Kincora is exploring for porphyry-style copper and
gold mineralisation, copper-gold skarn plus related
high sulphidation and epithermal gold systems.
|
Drill hole
Information
|
- A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material
drill holes:
- easting and northing of the drill
hole collar
- elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
- dip and azimuth of the hole
- down hole length and interception depth
- hole length.
- If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
|
- Detailed information on Kincora's drilling at
Trundle is given in the body of the report.
|
Data
aggregation
methods
|
- In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should
be stated.
- Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the
procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
- The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
|
- For Kincora drilling at Trundle the following
methods were used:
- Interpreted near-surface skarn gold-copper
intercepts were aggregated using a cut-off
grade of 0.20 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu respectively.
- Porphyry gold-copper intercepts were
aggregated using a cut-off grade of
0.10 g/t Au and 0.05% Cu respectively.
- Internal dilution below cut off included was
generally less than 25% of the total reported
intersection length and is noted in the
summary tables of significant mineralised
intervals of the respective holes.
- Core loss was included as dilution at
zero values.
- Average gold and copper grades calculated
as averages weighted to sample lengths.
- Historic drilling results in other project
areas are reported at different cut-off grades
depending on the nature of mineralisation.
|
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
|
- These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
- If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
- If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg 'down hole length, true
width not known').
|
- Due to the uncertainty of mineralisation
orientation, the true width of
mineralisation is not known at Trundle.
- Intercepts from historic drilling reported
at other projects are also of unknown
true width.
|
Diagrams
|
- Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
|
- Relevant diagrams and figures are included in the
body of the report, including the current working
models and interpretations.
|
Balanced
reporting
|
- Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting
of Exploration Results.
|
- Intercepts reported for Kincora's drilling at
Trundle are zones of higher grade within
non-mineralised or weakly anomalous material.
|
Other
substantive
exploration
data
|
- Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.
|
- No other exploration data is considered material
to the reporting of results at Trundle. Other data
of interest to further exploration targeting is
included in the body of the report.
- Historic exploration data coverage and results
are included in the body of the report for Kincora's
other projects.
|
Further
work
|
- The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
- Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
|
- Drilling has concluded at the Mordialloc,
Mordialloc NE and Trundle Park prospects
at the time of publication of this report and
plans for further step-out drilling are in place
at the Trundle Park (Southern Extension
Zone and North-East Gold Zone targets),
Dunns (North and South) and
Botfield prospects.
