ABOUT ALCHEMY RESOURCES
Alchemy is actively exploring four key areas; the Magnus Copper-Gold Project, the Hermes and Wilgeena Gold Projects, and the Murchison Projects (comprising six separate areas in the Murchison District).
The Magnus Copper-Gold Project is part way through evaluation and drill testing of conductors identified by an airborne VTEM survey and gold-in-soil anomalies associated with prospective areas identified by geological field mapping. Initial reconnaissance RC drill programs commenced in April 2010, with follow up drill programs in August, and November–December 2010. Alchemy continues to devote significant expenditure to drill programs and will continue its evaluation of Magnus in 2011.
The Hermes Gold Project is the most advanced with a JORC code-compliant resource. The Hermes Gold Project was originally acquired from Troy Resources NL in June 2008. Alchemy was attracted to the project by the existing Indicated Resource of 1.7Mt @ 2.4g/t gold (equivalent to 131,000 ounces of gold) . Metallurgical testwork on diamond core from Hermes was completed in early January 2011. The results from this work are currently being interpreted by a consulting metallurgist to enable Alchemy to undertake an updated resource and optimisation study at Hermes.

The Wilgeena Gold Project, located 15 kilometres south of Hermes, was identified as a key exploration target in 2009. Alchemy commenced a RC and diamond drill program in March 2010 with the aim to confirm and extend existing zones of gold mineralisation, previously explored by Plutonic Operations Ltd in 1997. In July 2010, Alchemy estimated a maiden Indicated Resource of 659,480t @ 2.34g/t (equivalent to 49,536 ounces of gold) comprising three discrete mineralised zones. Similarly, metallurgical testwork on diamond core from Wilgeena was completed in early January 2011 and is being interpreted by a consulting metallurgist.
Since November 2007, Alchemy has grown to explore on four separate and highly prospective areas. Alchemy has received a number of offers to evaluate opportunities near these areas and as it builds its exploration presence will carefully consider the merits of expanding its exploration efforts outside its current tenement holding versus evaluation of its numerous exploration targets within its tenements. The acquisition of the Gidgee South Project in the Murchison District is an example Alchemy’s continuing review of acquisition opportunities in the Murchison and Gascoyne Districts.
