personalMincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR, "Mincor" or the "Company") is pleased to report further significant results from underground drilling targeting the recently discovered nickel surface in the highly prospective exploration
zone between the Company's Long and Durkin North Operations at Kambalda in Western Australia (together, the "Northern Operations").
Drilling continues to expand and increase confidence in the LN04a surface, paving the way for an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in July 2022, if not earlier with the timely delivery of assays.
New drilling points to an expanded LN04a surface
When Mincor first announced the discovery of the LN04a surface (see ASX Release 21 March 2022), the Company defined the initial spatial extents of the new surface of approximately 550m by 150m.
The latest round of drilling has provided additional confidence in the continuity of the mineralised surface within those extents, but with potential to grow beyond the original interpretation, with the surface remaining open along strike and, notably, up-dip (Figure 1).
ForRecent drilling has also continued to reflect the high-grade massive sulphide intersections observed in the earlier rounds of drilling, resembling the typical Kambalda-type ore surface mined historically at Mincor's Northern Operations.
A significant underground drilling program will continue at the Golden Mile over the remainder of CY2022.

Management Comment
personalMincor's Managing Director, David Southam, said: "The Golden Mile exploration is continuing to gather serious momentum, with the latest round of drilling into the LNO4a surface not only confirming our original
interpretation, but also highlighting the potential to expand the surface. Importantly, we are continuing to see high-grade, high tenor nickel sulphide intersections that are typical of the orebodies of Mincor's NorthernOperations.
"Our early success at the Golden Mile reinforces the Company's long-held view of the outstanding exploration potential between the Long and Durkin North operations at Kambalda. It is a vote of confidence in the Company's strategy to combine the infrastructure of the two operations and dedicate significant resources to unlock thisexciting exploration opportunity.
"With production now underway from both Northern Operations and Cassini, first cash-flow expected in June, and our exploration and resource teams working hard to deliver an Initial Mineral Resource for the LN04a surface, we expect that the next few months will be an exciting time for Mincor as we complete our transition toa mid-tier nickel producer and strengthen our near-term growth pathway."
