DGAP-News: Conico Ltd. / Key word(s): Drilling Result Conico Ltd.: FURTHER MINERALISATION/SIGNIFICANT AT RYBERG AND SIGNIFICANT MAGNETIC ANOMALY HIGHLIGHTS (news with additional features) 2021-07-30 / 10:30 The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. =---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACN 119 057 457 AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT 30 July 2021 FURTHER MINERALISATION/SIGNIFICANT AT RYBERG AND SIGNIFICANT MAGNETIC ANOMALY HIGHLIGHTS . MIDD003 is complete and preliminary investigations show that it has intersected sulphide matrix mineralisation over 2.9m from 96.8 - 99.7m downhole. . A downhole magnetic survey of drill-hole MIDD001 has highlighted an area of significant magnetic anomalism that is currently being tested by MIDD004 and MIDD005. . Hole MIDD002 is complete and preliminary investigations show that it has intersected a zone of highly altered gneiss, with trace sulphides from 278 - 280m downhole. . All drill-holes are collared within the Miki magmatic sulphide prospect and core will be processed and assayed as soon as possible. . The aeromagnetic survey across the entire Ryberg License is ongoing, inclusive of the Miki Fjord Macrodyke, and has the potential to identify additional targets that potentially host sulphide mineralisation. Conico Limited (ASX: CNJ) ("Conico" or "the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary Longland Resources Ltd ("Longland ") is pleased to announce preliminary results from drill-holes MIDD002 & MIDD003, and downhole magnetic results from MIDD001. All holes are collared within the Miki magmatic sulphide prospect, located within the Ryberg Project in Greenland. MIDD003 encountered brecciated gneiss supported by a matrix of sulphide mineralisation containing pyrrhotite. The sulphide conforms to the foliation within the gneiss, most likely a result of infiltration of a sulphide-rich liquid. The sulphides represent approximately 20% abundance in the rock over a length of 2.9m from 96.8m downhole. MIDD002 encountered trace chalcopyrite mineralisation within gneiss, the sulphides constitute approximately 1% abundance in the rock over a length of 2m from 278.0m drilled depth. The results are preliminary in nature as no drill core has yet been sent for analysis, with results in this announcement coming from observation of the core by a suitably qualified and experienced geologist. A downhole magnetic survey of drill-hole MIDD001 has shown an area of significant magnetism to the north. The magnetic readings are deemed significant as they regularly exceeded the maximum threshold for operational range of the instrument, commencing at 115m downhole. This is now subject to drill investigation by drill-holes MIDD004 and MIDD005. Longland CEO Thomas Abraham-James said: "The downhole magnetic survey is believed to be due to accumulations of sulphide minerals proximal to MIDD001 where disseminated, matrix and semi-massive sulphide were intercepted from approximately 78 metres downhole depth. The two holes currently underway are drilling the source of the magnetic anomalism and it's very exciting." Re-logging of the MIDD001core over the last few days has also identified the presence of Chalcopyrite at 117.5m downhole. This release contains preliminary results from drill-holes recently completed at the Miki magmatic sulphide prospect. Drill-holes MIDD002 and MIDD003 were both completed on the 29^th of July, with the rigs now having moved and been established on holes MIDD004 and MIDD005. Details of the results for drill-hole MIDD001 can be found in an ASX release made by the Company on the 26^th of July 2021. Drill-holes MIDD002 and MIDD003 were targeting electromagnetic (EM) anomalies identified in a 2020 survey. Drill-hole MIDD003 was collared 20m to the east of MIDD001 and was designed to further investigate the modelled EM plate that MIDD001 had successfully penetrated. The sulphide matrix breccia that was encountered is shallower than that in MIDD001, and visually contains more sulphide - with the most readily identifiable mineral being pyrrhotite. MIDD002 was collared on the northern EM modelled plate and represents the first drill-hole into this target. While mineralisation was minimal, it did encounter a significant zone of alteration in the gneiss, extending from 237 to 282m drilled depth. It is possible that this is due to the hole passing nearby a mafic intrusive. The trace chalcopyrite is associated with quartz veins in the altered gneiss. A downhole magnetic survey was conducted on hole MIDD001 that yielded readings exceeding the maximum threshold for operational range (readings in excess of 100,000 nT). The highly anomalous magnetism began at 115m downhole, persisting to end of hole at 214m drilled depth. The source of magnetism is to the north of drill-hole MIDD001, with drill-holes MIDD004 and MIDD005 designed to intercept this area of interest. Additional downhole magnetic surveys have been conducted on holes MIDD002 and MIDD003 with interpretation by a consulting geophysicist underway. The magnetism is thought to be due to the presence of pyrrhotite, a highly magnetic sulphide mineral that was encountered in MIDD001 and MIDD003. The source of the magnetic anomaly is also toward the Miki Fjord Macrodyke, a Tertiary mafic intrusion that exhibits sulphide mineralisation at surface. About the Miki Cu-Ni-Co-Pd-Au Prospect The Miki Prospect is within the Ryberg Project that is located on the east coast of Greenland, approximately 350km NW of Iceland. Conico subsidiary Longland is the 100% owner and operator of the licences that cover an area of 4,521km^2. The Miki Prospect contains magmatic sulphide mineralisation associated with Tertiary mafic dykes/sills that have intruded Archaean basement gneiss and Cretaceous sediments. There are well developed showings of copper-palladium-gold-rich sulphides at surface, with mineralisation occurring as globular sulphides up to 15 cm in diameter consisting of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Grab samples by Longland from surface rocks returned up to 2.2% copper, 0.8% nickel, 3.3g/t palladium and 0.15 g/t gold. A second nickel-rich sulphide phase is also present, with surface samples grading up to 0.8% nickel and 0.1% cobalt.
