Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX: ALY ) is pleased to announce that is has been awarded a $120,000 grant through the WA Governments’ Exploration Incentive Scheme to support a targeted drilling program at its Bryah Basin Copper Project in Western Australia (Figure 1). The Bryah Basin Copper Project covers over 45km of strike length of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the highly prospective Narracoota volcanic sequence to the west of Sandfire Resources’ high-grade DeGrussa copper-gold deposit (Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of 14.33Mt @ 4.6% Cu and 1.6g/t Au).
The grant will be used to investigate untested VTEM anomalies within the prospective Narracoota volcanic sequence and Peak Hill Schist on tenements recently acquired from Grosvenor Gold Pty Ltd (refer ASX Announcement 1 March 2012).

The drill targets were identified during ongoing review of Grosvenor’s exploration and geological database. The priority targets were delineated from interpretation of versatile time electromagnetic (VTEM) and preliminary moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys.
The drilling programme is expected to commence in the September quarter, once all necessary permits have been obtained.
Award of the competitive grant validates Alchemy’s innovative and systematic approach to conducting its exploration at the Bryah Basin Copper project.
Exploration of Alchemy’s Bryah Basin landholding is continuing with geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the recently acquired tenements currently underway, and with ground geophysical surveys planned to commence next month. In combination, the results from these surveys will be used to define additional targets for drill testing in the second half of 2012.
Alchemy is well funded and focussed on unlocking the copper-gold potential of its expanded Bryah Basin landholding through employing innovative geophysical and geochemical methods in conjunction with drill testing of priority targets.

ABOUT ALCHEMY RESOURCES
Alchemy is actively exploring three key areas; the Bryah Basin Copper Project, the Gascoyne Gold Project, and the Murchison Project.
The Bryah Basin Copper Project contains more than 45 kilometres of strike extent of the Narracoota Volcanic Sequence, host to Sandfire’s DeGrussa copper deposit. Alchemy is undertaking systematic evaluation of its Bryah Basin landholding, which is highly prospective for the discovery of VMS-style copper deposits.
The Gascoyne Gold Project includes the Hermes and Wilgeena gold deposits and the Central Bore gold prospect. Hermes has an Indicated Resource of 2.79Mt @ 2.19g/t gold (equivalent to 196,650 ounces of gold) and Wilgeena, located 15 kilometres south of Hermes, hosts an Indicated Resource of 659,480t @ 2.34g/t (equivalent to 49,500 ounces of gold).
The Murchison Project consists of more than 700 square kilometres of tenements located in the vicinity of several large (>1Moz) gold deposits. The project is being explored for gold and base metals.
