Up to 10.85% Copper plus Gold intersected at Horse Well

Prospect

Highlights:

  • Assay results received from drill hole HWDD05 confirm persistence of copper and gold mineralisation in the vicinity of HWDD04.
  • HWDD05 returned a combined length of 185.16m of mineralised core with some high-gradecopper, gold and silver intersections.
  • Longest intersection was 114.66m @ 0.37% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Ag from 1095.34m.
  • Copper (Cu) grades up to 10.85%; gold (Au) up to 5.31 g/t and silver (Ag) up to 20.6 g/t.
  • Initial technical review of the drill core has shown that the mineralisation, brecciation and alteration styles in some of the mafic units are typical of an IOCG deposit
  • Assay results for the wedge hole (HWDD05W1) have been received and will be reported once the assessment is complete.

Cohiba Minerals Limited (ASX: CHK, 'Cohiba' or 'the Company') is pleased to provide results for drillhole HWDD05 from the exploration drilling program at its Horse Well project in South Australia (Figure 1).

Cohiba's CEO, Andrew Graham says, "The results from drill hole HWDD05 provide further confirmation that we are drilling in the right location. The mineralisation is becoming more pervasive, and we have seen a considerable increase in gold and silver mineralisation as well as copper. Given that HWDD05 was angled from HWDD04 (same collar location) even a small step out has returned significantly improved results. We have also continued to apply considerable technical expertise on understanding the petrology, mineralogy, alteration styles and structures as these are critically important to understanding IOCG deposits and subsequent drill hole positioning. The considerable effort invested in this technical analysis will enable the Company to optimise its drilling programs for maximum success."

HWDD05 was an angled hole (azimuth 55° and dip 80°) drilled from virtually the same collar location as hole HWDD04 to further investigate the mineralisation that was encountered in HWDD04.

The collar location for HWDD05 is outlined in Table 1:

The analytical results for drill hole HWDD05 were completed by ALS Laboratories and have been assessed by the Company and its technical consultants. The assay results have been weighted based on the sample length and all reported intervals are continuous sample lengths.

The results are summarised below:

2m @ 5.2 g/t Au from 928 - 930m *

47m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au and 1.06 g/t Ag from 965 - 1,012m including:

0.5m @ 1.63% Cu, 0.61 g/t Au and 9.51 g/t Ag from 986.35m 0.4m @ 1.70% Cu, 2.01 g/t Au and 2.57 g/t Ag from 992.6 m 3.0m @ 1.25 g/t Au from 995.0m

0.5m @ 1.43% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au and 3.28 g/t Ag from 1,009.48m

114.66m @ 0.37% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Ag from 1,095.34 - 1,210m including:

0.5m @ 1.60% Cu and 0.63 g/t Au and 1.63 g/t Ag from 1096.5m 0.9m @ 1.63% Cu, 1.0 g/t Au and 3.59 g/t Ag from 1,117.85m 1.0m @ 1.74% Cu, 2.19 g/t Au and 4.53 g/t Ag from 1,122.0m 1.0m @ 0.85% Cu, 5.31 g/t Au and 6.65 g/t Ag from 1,123.5m 0.91m @ 3.21% Cu, 1.15 g/t Au and 2.81 g/t Ag from 1,158.85m 1.14m @ 1.55% Cu, 1.78 g/t Au and 2.84 g/t Ag from 1,173.36 0.8m @ 10.85% Cu, 2.94 g/t Au and 20.6 g/t Ag from 1,199.0m

0.5m @ 1.18% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au and 3.2 g/t Ag from 1,326.5 - 1,327m 23m @ 0.37% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 1.9 g/t Ag from 1,362 - 1,385m

  • There was no sampling from 930 - 965m (35m) due to a lack of visible mineralisation but this interval will be assayed to investigate possible continuation of the gold recorded from 928 - 930m.

An initial technical review of the drill core has shown that the mineralisation, brecciation and alteration styles in some of the mafic units are typical of an IOCG deposit (Figure 2) and that the structural history of the veins reflects the "big picture" structural evolution of the Olympic Dam Breccia Complex (ODBC) with early shear and late dilational characteristics.

HWDD05 also showed a strong spatial correlation between iron (Fe), copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag) and a reasonably good correlation with uranium (U) which are key characteristics of the ODBC.

mineralisation at 1,159m (assayed 3.21% Cu and 1.15 g/t Au).

Ongoing petrological, mineralogical and alteration studies will be undertaken to enhance the Company's understanding of the Horse Well Prospect and to aid. to aid future drill hole targeting.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Sampling

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut

techniques

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 (e.g. submarine

nodules) may warrant disclosure of

detailed information.

Commentary

  • Drillhole HWDD05 comprised diamond drilling (PQ size) from 0 - 320.5m; diamond drilling (HQ size) from 320.5
    - 797.5m and diamond drilling (NQ size) from 797.5 - 1,417.45m (end of hole).
  • The drill core was logged and photographed on site prior to sealing in core trays for transport to the core shed.
  • The drill core was filleted via a diamond saw and the sampling intervals were based on a visual assessment of mineralisation. Cut sheets were provided to ensure the exact sampling intervals were recorded. A quarter core sample was provided for analysis except where a shorter interval required a half core sample for minimum sample weight to be achieved.
  • The shortest sampling interval was 0.34m and the longest was 2.25m with the majority of samples being taken at 1 metre intervals. Each sample interval was bagged and labelled with a unique identifier prior to submission to ALS Laboratories.
