Minos Drilling Highlights Shallow, Continuous Gold Mineralisation
Highlights
• Final assays returned from April drill programme, with significant results including: | ||
only | o 4m | @ 5.31g/t Au from 106m |
o 14m @ 0.90g/t Au from 55m | ||
o 8m | @ 1.38g/t Au from 88m | |
o | 7m | @ 1.47g/t Au from 72m |
• Gold mineralisation at Minos confirmed over 600m strike length and remains open | ||
along strike in both directions and at depth | ||
• Further drilling planned for targeting extensions at Minos to the northwest, southeast | ||
and at depth | ||
• Approval of an Exploration Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation | ||
use | (E-PEPR) over an expanded area allows for further drilling to test the strike extent of | |
Minos and other nearby targets |
personalIndiana Resources Limited (ASX: IDA) ('Indiana' or the 'Company') is pleased to report assays results h ve now been received from the final five holes of the Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign
completed at the Minos Prospect within Indiana's 100% owned 5,713 km2 Central Gawler Craton Gold Project in South Australia.
These latest five holes have continued to deliver encouraging gold intersections infilling previous 'gaps' and improving confidence of the continuity of the gold zones at the Minos Project within the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone (LLSZ). Gold mineralisation remains open along strike in both directions and at depth.
A total of fourteen (14) drillholes for 1,868m were completed at Minos in April, with the programme d signed to infill the existing drill hole coverage within the central portion of the defined mineralisation and to provide further geological information for inclusion in the proposed resource estimate for Minos.
Company Comment - Technical Director Felicity Repacholi-Muir said:
"We are very pleased with the final assays from our April drilling programme which has outlined a
600-metre strike extent of shallow, near-surface gold mineralisation. Importantly, recent results at | |||
Minos increase our confidence in the grade continuity and clearly demonstrate the strong potential | |||
f r the area to host a mineralised system of significance. | |||
The approval of the E-PEPR over an expanded area allows us to continue our exploration efforts at | |||
ForMinos and to broaden our programme to include other important LLSZ targets including the Ariadne, | |||
and Company Well Prospects. We would like to thank the DEM for their assistance in finalising the E- | |||
PEPR and we look forward to progressing approvals over the remainder of our extensive landholding | |||
in the Gawler Craton." | |||

Minos Results Summary
The April RC drilling programme was designed to tighten the existing drill density within the central portion of the mineralisation defined at Minos and increase the confidence levels to enable Indiana onlyto deliver a maiden Mineral Resource estimate (refer Figure 1). Drilling to date has outlined a 600-
metre strike extent of shallow, near-surface gold mineralisation.
The results received from the April programme confirm the Company's geological interpretation a d reinforce the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone as a significant gold bearing system. Gold mineralisation at Minos remains open along strike in both directions and at depth.
This release captures the results from the final five (5) RC drillholes and follows the earlier release of the preceding nine (9) RC drillholes reported to the ASX in June (refer ASX Release 9 June 2022).
useExpanded E-PEPRApproval for Minos Area
Indiana has received approval of an Exploration Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (E-PEPR) over an expanded area including and surrounding the Minos Prospect.
So th Australia's Mining Act requires the holder of an Exploration Licence (EL) to have an approved E-PEPR in place prior to the commencement of any exploration activities. Approval is provided by South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining (DEM). South Australian tenement holders have personalstatutory requirements, including identifying relevant environmental, social and economic impacts
nd obtaining relevant approvals prior to undertaking exploration activities.
The Company's approved E-PEPR allows for ongoing drilling programmes over EL 6184 and EL 6185, covering the Minos, Ariadne, Company Well Prospects and surrounding area.
Next Steps
Indiana is currently planning further drilling targeting the thicker and higher-grade intersections in the north-western portion of the Minos orebody and depth extensions.
With the receipt of the expanded E-PEPR, the Company is also planning to expand Indiana's xploration footprint during its next drilling campaign by testing additional targets along the Lake
Labyrinth Shear Zone including Company Well (refer Figure 4).
