Lennons Find

Lennons Find Base Metal Project and Yandicoogina Project

• The Lennons Find Project was acquired from Jabiru Metals Limited and has a JORC Code Inferred Resource of 853,000 tonnes grading 7.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 0.7% Cu and 115g/t Ag at the Hammerhead sulphide zone. Mineralisation is open down dip and along strike.

• Project hosts four other VHMS prospects over about 4km of strike at a similar stratigraphic level and contains significant shallow mineralisation which requires additional drilling to define a resource.

• Mineralisation at Lennons Find project is typically near surface and potentially amenable to open pit mining.

• Considerable potential exists to define additional mineralisation at Lennons Find and increase the resource base at the Hammerhead deposit.

• The nearby Yandicoogina Project acquisition from Shaw River Resources secures 13km of similar geology along strike and adds considerable exploration upside. Project is located <10km south west along strike from Lennon’s Find project.

• Previous reported anomalous base metal and gold intersections at Yandicoogina include; 3m @ 1.0g/t gold & 0.9% zinc; and 5m @ 1.8% zinc, 0.5% lead, 150 g/t silver and 0.26g/t gold in massive sulphide.

• Consolidated ground position enhances Laconia’s existing highly prospective Barramine Base Metal project.

Barramine

The Barramine Project comprises an area of 430km2 covering sequences of Archaean and overlying younger sediments, 245km east southeast of Port Hedland in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The geological position of the project incorporates, and is also along strike from base metal deposits at Barramine, Camel Hump, Ragged Hills and Braeside. The discovery of anomalous copper and zinc in highly altered, pyritic acid volcanics by previous workers provides a prospective geological environment for base metal mineralisation

Barramine and 701 Mile Projects location map.

Recently acquired geophysical data and interpretation from the Barramine Project has indicated a number of electromagnetic (EM) anomalies. Laconia is targeting volcanic related base metal sulphide horizons within sediments.

These geophysical anomalies have been further evaluated via a preliminary geochemical orientation survey. Sampling has been focused over EM anomalies derived from late time XTEM data. Preliminary data received is presented in the diagram located under Projects/Barramine (see Read More) and provides strong encouragement for base metal mineralisation in this area

Mooletar

Laconia holds a consolidated ground position at the Mooletar Project comprised of an area of 75km2 secured by two EL’s, one ML, twenty PLs and ten PLAs. Potential exists for structurally controlled gold deposits in both BIF analogous to the adjacent Hill 50 deposit type, or as mafic-hosted quartz veining.

The project is situated over the eastern portion of the Mount Magnet Fold Belt and represents an under-explored area of highly-deformed Archaean Greenstone Belt, proximal to the major gold-production centre of Mt Magnet. Auriferous deposits within the Magnet Fold Belt have been worked since 1896, with a production of 4.5Moz of gold to 2007.

Although exploration has been undertaken at Mooletar since the mid-1970s, the area has not been extensively explored, with no historical drilling reported.

Laconia has identified an exploration target of 240 Million tonnes at an average grade of 30-35%Fe with low levels of phosphorus and silica. The Mooletar Project lies approximately 330km east of Geraldton and approximately 125km from the proposed rail line in the mid-west infrastructure corridor that would access the Oakajee port infrastructure. The project area is also accessible by sealed roads (see Mooletar project location map attached).

Kookynie Project

The Kookynie Project is located approximately 200km north of Kalgoorlie near Kookynie in the Eastern Goldfields of WA. The Project area lies within the Melita Domain of the Keith–Kilkenny Tectonic Zone within the NNW-trending Archaean Malcom greenstone belt. The Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone in the vicinity of Kookynie is a triangular shaped area hosting a succession of Archaean mafic-ultramafic igneous and metasedimentary rocks

701 Mile Project (80% Laconia) Gold and Base Metals

The 701 Mile Project, covering 350km2 of Mesoproterozoic sediments and large mafic sills, is prospective for base metals, gold and manganese mineralisation. The project lies approximately 80km southeast of Newman within the northeastern portion of the Collier Basin (formerly termed Bangemall Basin) and is transected by a regionally significant structure called the Tangadee Lineament.

The 701 Mile Project geology and data indicates that the project is prospective for:

• copper-nickel-platinum group element sulphide mineralisation associated with the basal sections of large mafic sills;

• structurally controlled polymetallic lodes and veins associated with faults and the margins of mafic intrusions (although these may be of limited size potential); and

• gold developed in basement Archaean greenstones (albeit at depths below estimated to be below 400m) similar to the Frankopan Prospect, eight km’s north of the project area.

Lead-copper-barium mineralisation occurs at the Abra deposit, some 150km to the southeast, in the Edmund Basin sediments, adjacent to the Tangadee Lineament.

The distribution of mineralisation in the district is shown on the diagram below:

Waukarlycarly

The Waukarlycarly Project is located 50km south of Laconia’s Barramine Project, 55km northeast of Woodie Woodie and 50km northwest of Telfer and comprises 725 km2 on the bank of Lake Waukarlycarly.

The Waukarlycarly Project is prospective for calcrete hosted uranium deposit. Lake Waukarlycarly is a regional depositional sink for major paleo and present day fluvial channels. Mineralisation targets include calcrete uranium deposits forming palaeochannel and rim embayment on the western margin of Lake Waukarlycarly.

The area is surrounded by weathered granites and mafic rocks including:

• Mt Croften suite (Uranium source)

• Rudall Complex (Uranium and Vanadium source)

• Mafic suites of the Pilbara Craton (Vanadium Source)

The Project area is located at the centre of GSWA Paterson EM project area as shown below:
