EXPLORATION UPDATE - AMENDED

South Telfer Copper-Gold Project

HIGHLIGHTS

use

7 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes have been completed for a total of 1,476m

complete to date.

The balance of the Phase 2 drilling program is expected to re-commence from 10

January 2022 with diamond drilling to commence shortly thereafter.

personal

All samples from the first 7 RC holes have been sent to the laboratory for analysis with

first results expected late January 2022.

Extension to Hasties Main Zone

Five holes drilled to test and additional 300m of strike extension to the northwest of

the Hasties Main Zone.

Wide zones of favourable alteration that may be indicative of copper-gold

mineralisation was encountered over the 300m of strike tested, extending Hasties

Main Zone to over 600m of strike.

Frenchman's (New Target)

One hole drilled at Frenchman's, 900m due north of Hasties Main Zone, to test below

anomalous copper and gold mineralisation encountered in historic drilling.

For

Several significant zones of favourable alteration that may be indicative of copper-

gold mineralisation were intersected over a 104m interval.

Diamond Drilling

One RC pre-collar was in preparation for diamond drilling.

Rincon Managing Director, Gary Harvey commented:

"We are very pleased to have completed seven holes of our Phase 2 RC and diamond drilling program so far. I am also excited by the amount of alteration our team is seeing in the drill chips along strike of the Hasties Main Zone, and particularly in new areas such as Frenchman's, which could be an exciting new prospect for us. We look forward to returning early January when we will start to test our deep targets below the Hasties system".

ASX Announcement 21 December 2021

Western Australian gold and copper explorer, Rincon Resources Limited (Rincon or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on drilling activities at its flagship South Telfer Copper-Gold Project (South Telfer) located in the Paterson Province, Western Australia, 12km south of the World-Class 32Moz Telfer Gold Mine.

Phase 2 drilling will temporarily pause over the Christmas and New Year period and is set to recommence from 10th January 2022.

onlySeven RC holes have been completed to-date and tested two areas, a 300m extension zone along strike to the northwest of the Hasties Main Zone and a new target referred to as Frenchman's.

Extension to Hasties Main Zone

Five holes have tested a 300m zone of mapped breccia and gossan directly along strike to the n rthwest of the Hasties Mains Zone. All holes intersected various widths of favourable copper-gold style alteration like that previously logged at Hasties (refer ASX Release dated 5 October 2021, available to view at www.rinconresources.com.au). This is highly encouraging and could now

usextend the Hasties Main Zone to over 600m in strike.

Drillhole 21STRC033 was the most northerly and most significant hole in terms of alteration. This hole intersected several zones of favourable alteration in an area where the mapped breccia/gossan appears to cut out and is disrupted by cross-cutting faulting, the significance of which is yet nknown. 21STRC033 intersected two wide zones of siliceous, brecciated quartz veining and

disseminated sulphides from 94-124m (30m) and 129-151m (22m) (refer Photo below). personalFor

Frenchman's

One hole, 21STRC032, was drilled at Frenchman's where a single historic Rotary Air-Blast (RAB) hole intersected anomalous copper-gold mineralisation but was never follow-up.

21STRC032 intersected three zones of favourable alteration indicative of copper-gold mineralisation like that previously logged at Hasties (refer ASX Release dated 5 October 2021, available to view at

In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine widths and grade of the

visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the
