With a clear, execution-focused strategy, Inca Minerals is poised to become a leading gold and antimony exploration company in Australia. The company is led by an experienced management team dedicated to unlocking value through strategic exploration and resource development.
Inca Minerals (ASX:ICG) is an Australia-focused exploration company targeting high-grade gold and gold-antimony mineralization. The company’s strategy is underpinned by its recent acquisition of Stunalara Metals, a transformational deal that strengthens its portfolio with high-grade exploration assets. The Hurricane project in Northern Queensland is Inca’s key focus, offering exceptional exploration potential in a region with significant structural controls for mineralization. With a strong macro backdrop of record gold prices and increasing demand for critical minerals, Inca is well-positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity.
Inca Minerals' primary objective is to advance the flagship Hurricane project through an aggressive exploration strategy. The company plans to initiate shallow drilling in Q2 2025, targeting high-priority gold-antimony mineralization identified from rock chip sampling and structural mapping. Concurrently, Inca is conducting geophysical and geochemical surveys to refine drill targets and expand the exploration footprint, ensuring a comprehensive approach to unlocking the project’s full potential.
Recognizing the increasing demand for critical minerals, Inca is strategically positioning itself as a key player in the antimony market. With China imposing export restrictions on this vital commodity, global supply constraints present a significant opportunity for Inca. The company aims to capitalize on this trend by advancing its high-grade gold-antimony deposits at Hurricane, demonstrating the economic viability of the project. Additionally, Inca is focused on educating the market about antimony’s essential role in energy transition, defence and high-tech applications, further reinforcing its value proposition to investors.
Beyond Hurricane, Inca is committed to maintaining a balanced and de-risked exploration portfolio. The company plans to commence fieldwork at the Mt Read project in Tasmania in late 2025, evaluating its potential for polymetallic mineralization, including copper, lead, zinc and gold.
The Hurricane project is Inca Minerals’ flagship asset, located in Northern Queensland, approximately 110 km west-northwest of Cairns. The project consists of three tenements positioned within a structurally favorable corridor between the Hurricane and Retina Faults. The project is highly prospective for gold and antimony mineralization, with multiple high-grade targets identified through historical and recent rock chip sampling.
Recent assay results from Hurricane confirm the presence of significant gold and antimony grades, with highlights including 81.5 grams per ton (g/t) gold at Hurricane South, 12.95 g/t gold at Hurricane North, and 35.1 percent antimony at Bouncer. Despite these impressive surface results, the project remains undrilled, offering a rare opportunity to test a virgin high-grade gold-antimony system. The mineralization is epithermal in nature, hosted within structurally controlled quartz veins that show strong alteration signatures, suggesting a robust hydrothermal system.
Gold and antimony prospects at the Hurricane project
Inca plans to commence an initial shallow drilling program in Q2 2025, targeting the highest-priority areas identified from geochemical and structural mapping. The company is also conducting geophysical surveys and additional rock chip sampling to refine its understanding of the mineralized system and expand its exploration footprint.
With a strong technical basis and excellent exploration upside, Hurricane is positioned as a potential near-term discovery opportunity for high-grade gold and antimony resources.
The Mt Read project is an early-stage exploration asset located in Tasmania, a region well-known for its polymetallic mineralization. While not the immediate focus of Inca’s exploration strategy, Mt Read presents a significant longer-term opportunity for base metals, including copper, lead, zinc and, potentially, gold. The project is situated within a geologically prospective setting that has seen limited modern exploration.
Fieldwork at Mt Read is expected to begin in late 2025, following the advancement of the Hurricane project. Initial exploration efforts will include geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys to identify potential drill targets. While still in its infancy, Mt Read aligns with Inca’s strategy of securing highly prospective projects in stable jurisdictions with strong mineral endowments.

Vancouver, British Columbia March 25, 2025 TheNewswire - Leocor Mining Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE: LECR, OTCQB: LECRF; Frankfurt: LGO0) (formerly Leocor Gold Inc.), a junior resource company focussed on the exploration and development of precious metals  projects in Eastern Canada, is pleased to announce that its recent drill program at the Baie Verte project ("The Project") a 2,002-ha contiguous gold-copper exploration package located on the north central coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, has been completed.
Crews from Rally Drilling and Resourceful Geoscience Solutions have demobilized from the Project site on March 18 th after completing 27 drillholes totalling 3040.5m at the project's base metal and gold prospects, Copper Creek and Dorset, respectively.
Drilling at the Copper Creek claims comprised 21 diamond drillholes totalling 2308.5 meters. 18 of the 21 Copper Creek drillholes encountered mineralization interpreted to be chalcopyrite over various lengths and in various visually estimated abundances. Previously disclosed Copper Creek highlights included:
43.9m to 46.2m (2.3m length) in hole 25-CC-014 containing a visually estimated modal abundance of banded chalcopyrite of 15% with pyrite in visually estimated modal abundances of 10%.
20m to 33.4m (13.4m drilled length) in hole 25-CC-012 containing blebby chalcopyrite in a visually estimated modal abundance of 1%.
133.6m to 138m (4.4m drilled length) in hole 25-CC-007 containing blebby chalcopyrite in a visually estimated modal abundance of 3%.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) ("LaFleur Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following corporate updates.
BEACON GOLD MILL RESTART AND SWANSON GOLD PROJECT UPDATES
The Beacon Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted gold mill situated in Val-d'Or, Québec, on the mineral-rich Abitibi Greenstone Belt, where LaFleur Minerals is laser focused on restarting gold production using large bulk samples and mineralized material from nearby gold deposits. With the price of gold in excess of USD$3,000 per ounce, many nearby deposits can be quickly monetized using the Company's 100%-owned Beacon Mill. The mill's operating capacity exceeds 750 tons per day and is strategically located in a highly prospective mining region for gold exploration and development, within an area that is host to over 100 historical and currently operating mines. The advancement of operations at the Beacon Mill has transformational qualities for the Company, evolving it from explorer to a near term gold producer in a Tier 1 jurisdiction with significant upside potential.

Equipment inspections, parts inventory, and maintenance work continues on a full-time basis at the Company's Beacon Gold Mill as part of its restart program (Figure 1 and Figure 2). A final plan and budget to restart the mill will be completed by ABF Mines by late April once final inspections are complete. The Company has also engaged an environmental services company based in Val-d'Or, Québec to complete a federal government requirement to assess and monitor the environmental effects on the tailings and finishing ponds at the Beacon tailings storage facility ("TSF"). In addition, the Company will be engaging an engineering firm to complete a geotechnical assessment/inspection of the TSF and complete any required repairs or upgrades prior to commencing production at the mill. The Company remains committed to restart production at the Beacon Mill to process bulk samples and/or for custom milling purposes prior to the end of 2025, or once all required restart work has been completed and final approvals have been received by the Québec government.
SWANSON GOLD PROJECT UPDATES
The Swanson Gold Project holds a large position in an attractive mining jurisdiction, extending over 16,000 hectares in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals, previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The consolidated Swanson Gold Project covers a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold targets along with numerous other significant gold showings. The Swanson Gold Project is easily accessible by road with a rail line running through the property, allowing direct access to the Beacon Gold Mill, further enhancing its development potential. The Swanson Gold Project has had in excess of 36,000 metres of historical drilling, which underscores the advanced exploration and development potential of the project, which includes several favourable gold bearing regional structures and deformation corridors extending across the property. Since acquiring the Swanson deposit and consolidating the large claims package, the Company has deployed in excess of $1 million in flow-through funds, completed detailed soil geochemistry and prospecting across several gold targets, completed a very-high resolution airborne magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical survey, and is currently in the process of completing a ground IP survey over the Swanson, Jolin, and Bartec gold deposits. All of this work has allowed the Company to refine priority drill-ready targets and help derisk the upcoming diamond drilling program. Several new promising gold targets have been identified from the recent surface exploration and geophysics programs, highlighting the potential for mineral resource growth and new discoveries at Swanson.
The Company has submitted an application for a diamond drilling permit to the Québec government for the Swanson Gold Project and will be sending Requests for Quotes (RFQ) to local drilling contractors, with drilling expected to commence in the spring at the Swanson, Bartec, Jolin and other recently delineated gold targets.
RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING
LaFleur Minerals also announces the results of its Annual General and Special Meeting ("AGSM") held on March 7, 2025. All matters presented at the AGSM were approved by shareholders including: (1) the Company's 10% Rolling Share Option Plan for continuation for a further three years, (2) the Company's 20% Restricted Share Unit Plan for continuation for a further three years, and (3) the Company's acquisition of an exclusive option to acquire 100% interest in and to certain mining claims and a mining lease located in the Province of Québec, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an option agreement entered into between the Company and BullRun Capital Inc. dated September 17, 2024 (refer to the Company's news release dated September 24, 2024).
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Additionally, the Company also announces that it has received total gross proceeds of $816,750 from the exercise of 7,425,000 warrants (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were issued in relation to a private placement completed in March 2023 and had an expiry date of March 14, 2025, which were exercised in full.
