ASX RELEASE 6 December 2011 ASX Code: PMQ

==> picture [210 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling Commences at Torchlight Gold Prospect, near Georgetown, Qld

Key Points

  • Planet Metals is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Torchlight gold prospect. Torchlight is one of several key targets within the Delaney Gold Project, EPM18181, located approximately 22km north of Georgetown in North Queensland.

  • Planet Metals is currently farming-in to the Delaney gold project held by Callabonna Uranium Ltd (ASX Code: CUU) with an option to earn a 51% interest in this tenement as part of a package of three North Queensland tenements. Planet is required to spend $750,000 in total over a period of 2 years and 10 months to earn 51%.

  • The key focus of the current program will be to drill-test a high-order gold geochemical anomaly identified by soil and rock chip sampling conducted earlier this year. An 8-hole (1,000m) RC drill program is proposed and is expected to be completed within 10 days.

  • Torchlight has never been the subject of a drill program, but is approximately 400m south of the Delaney gold prospect which was drilled in the 1980s by Keela Wee Exploration Limited. Both prospects are located along the highly prospective Delaney Fault.

  • Situated in a substantial offset in the north trending fault, the Delaney gold prospect was explored in the late 1980s. Historic drill results yielded such intercepts as 12m @ 10.10g/t Au from surface and 9m @ 3.81g/t Au from 77m. Of particular note, the Electric Light gold deposit (mined up until earlier this year by Deutsche Rohstoff Australia) is only 2.5km to the south of the current drilling.

  • Further details relating to this farm-in agreement and the associated prospectivity of these tenements is contained in an ASX release dated 15 September 2011.
