| ABSTRACT: | Inca Minerals Limited (Inca or the Company) (ASX code: ICG) has received assays and drill core logging data for hole RDDH-022, drilled at the Company’s Greater Riqueza Zn-Ag-Pb Project (Riqueza), Peru. Hole RDDH-022 has intersected two strongly mineralised manto horizons within a 9.4m wide (down hole) manto sequence. The lower of the two manto horizons grades 20.77% Zn, 95.7g/t Ag and 6.73% Pb over 0.3m (down hole) from 41.9m hole depth and the higher of the two manto horizons grades 7.36% Zn, 37.4g/t Ag and 2.10% Pb over 0.5m (down hole) from 34.8m hole depth. RDDH-022 has intersected a 9.4m wide intersection of mineralisation believed to represent the upper manto sequence that is known to occur widely in outcrop at Humaspunco (Figures 2 and 3). Within the manto sequence two strongly mineralised manto horizons are recognised. The mineralisation is characterised by smithsonite (Zn carbonate), coarse galena (Pb sulphide) and argentiferous minerals (Ag) with calcite and barite as gangue minerals. Invariably, the mantos are weathered with Fe-oxide and Mnoxide minerals, imparting a “rusted” appearance of the manto. Interestingly the alteration is silicic (not dolomitic) perhaps suggesting slightly “hotter” mineralised conditions. The ore-minerals occur as breccia matrix material and as veinlets. | |
