Whilst the negotiations are taking longer than hoped, such negotiations are being conducted in an amicable and
highly professional manner. All during this process Inca has maintained the project in good standing, in “work-
ready” mode so that operations may resume at short notice. This is no small matter taking into account the 40-
person camp at Riqueza, keeping communities engaged, access in good order and technical teams at the ready.
Inca has already conducted a considerable amount of exploration at Riqueza. Much of this work has occurred at
the Humaspunco Prospect and was focussed on the widespread zinc-silver-lead vein-manto replacement style
mineralisation that occurs there. This work is not forgotten, indeed the mineralisation we’ve identified at
Humaspunco is significant, both as an indication of the broader mineralised system at Riqueza and as a potential
stand-alone deposit. Notwithstanding this, future exploration is to be conducted across the entire project and
the focus will shift from vein and manto replacement mineralisation to porphyry and porphyry-skarn
mineralisation.
