  • Fully funded exploration program by Joint Venture partner, SUGEC, is ongoing

Sovereign Gold Company Limited (ASX: SOC or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on drilling progress from the SUGEC (Jiangsu Geology and Engineering Co. Ltd. of Nanjing, China) JV at Martins Shaft (EL 6483). This drilling activity is funded by SUGEC and forms part of the total $21.5m JV/MOU funding package previously agreed between Sovereign and SUGEC.

Drill Hole M-ZK0002 (Martins Shaft)

Diamond drill hole M-ZK0002 (refer Figures 1 & 2) was designed to test the lateral and depth extent of gold mineralisation at Martins Shaft.

Five mineralised intervals were encountered ranging from 4.3m – 0.3m in downhole length, between 164.1m – 182.65m downhole. Best results over this interval were 0.45m @ 9.27 g/t Au, 40.80g/t Ag and 2.69% Sb (antimony) and 1.0m @ 2.73 g/t Au (refer Table 1).

Qualifying Statements

The information in this Report that relates to Exploration Information is based on information compiled by Michael Leu who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.

Mr Leu is a qualified geologist and is a director of Sovereign Gold Company Limited.

Mr Leu has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity, which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources. Mr Leu consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the Exploration Information in the form and context in which it appears.

References to Mines refer to historical mines and geographical names, no inference should be made that Sovereign Gold is operating any mines at this stage of its development.

Downhole length – True width not known. All drill intersections are stated as downhole lengths, true width not yet determined.

The Martins Shaft mineralised structure has now been traced from outcrop at surface to 217.60 metres downhole and remains open at depth (Figure 1). Drilling is planned to follow the alteration zone down plunge along the path of the gold-bearing magmatic fluids to locate the source that is potentially a mineralised IRGS Hobbs-style pipe. Sovereign Gold’s exploration team are leaders in IRGS research as demonstrated by the recent success at Mount Adrah achieved through applying newly developed commercial-in-confidence techniques.

Martins Shaft – drilling to continue

Drill holes M-ZK0003 & M-ZK0004 are planned to immediately follow. These holes will test the lateral and vertical extent of gold mineralisation at Martins Shaft to the west and provide further information for compilation of a resource estimate.

Fully Funded Program

Funding for the current exploration program is being fully provided by SUGEC to earn up to a 30% interest (at the tenement level). The total $21.5m commitment is covered under Joint Venture (JV) and MOU.

The gold mineralisation at Martins Shaft is significant as this style of mineralisation was predicted from the application of Sovereign Gold’s Intrusion-Related Gold System Model (IRGS). The mineralisation comprises sheeted veins and disseminated gold mineralisation within altered predominantly felsic dyke phases associated with minor lamprophyre. Gold has been located in drill hole M-ZK0001 at Martins Shaft to a downhole depth of 217.60m metres. Strong phyllic alteration extends beyond the mineralised envelope. The felsic dyke has acted as a brittle host for magmatic fluids. It is clear from the presence of gold mineralisation and associated alteration that igneous textures are very conducive to the permeation/dissemination of gold-bearing fluids.

ASX Release 11[th] August 2014 - Page 2

==> picture [33 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Potential exists for multiple Martins Shaft-type deposits, of similar and larger size, within the large IRGS. Associated sulphide mineralisation consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite. Analytical data confirms gold mineralisation is associated with sodium depletion and the presence of anomalous chromium (up to 473ppm) in some intervals indicates gold-bearing alteration potentially present in some lamprophyre dyke phases.

Some of the wide and high gold grades from previous drill hole drill intersections (ASX Release 16 3 2012) at Martins Shaft include:

  • Diamond Drill Hole SGRDD002: 22 metres @ 3.28 grams/tonne gold from 18-40 metres downhole Including 10 metres @ 6.06 grams/tonne gold from 27-37 metres downhole and 2 metres @ 18.85 grams/tonne gold from 35-37m metres downhole.

  • Diamond Drill Hole SGRDD004: 18 metres @ 3.51 grams/tonne gold from 52-70 metres downhole, including 7 metres @ 7.47 grams/tonne gold from 57-64 metres downhole and 1 metre @ 19.60 grams/tonne gold from 58-59 metres downhole.

Drilling to date at the Rocky River-Uralla Project confirms the existence of a large IRGS and continues to progress the conceptual exploration model of several satellite gold mineralised structures containing sufficient mineralisation to support multiple open-pit mining operations to feed a central mill.

The drilling program has expanded into EL 6483 and includes deep drilling at Martins Shaft and multiple gold-bearing structures comprising more than 15 separate historical gold workings and numerous geochemical and geophysical anomalies (some indicative of auriferous sheeted vein systems, others potential blind Hobbs pipe-like plutons), scattered over a distance of at least 12km north to south and at least 5km east to west. There is significant untested potential within the large mineralising system.

SUGEC Joint Venture (Post corporate restructure)

Upon completion of the proposed Corporate Restructure (18 August 2014) Sovereign Gold will be partnered with SUGEC, a major Chinese State-owned enterprise, focussing on exploring for large Intrusion-Related Gold System (IRGS) structures over the SUGEC Project Tenements, covering 2,463 km[2] in the Rocky River-Uralla Goldfields (located near Armidale, NSW).

SUGEC funded drilling, near Martins Shaft, in the Uralla area has recently has further confirmed the presence the large IRGS discovery.

Upon completion of the SUGEC spend ($21.5 million in total), Sovereign Gold would retain a ~55% interest in the SUGEC Project Tenements.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Assay results for individual sample lengths provided in tables for each drill hole. Then some
also reported in body off text as weighted averages over various lengths.

Commentary
`Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

All aggregate intercepts detailed on tables for all diamond drill hole
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

None used
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

True width not currently known. All lengths are down-hole lengths and not true width.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

Martins Shaft: Ongoing development of 3D wireframe of mineralised structure and drill hole
plots modelled to +0.30g/t Au to map morphology of the gold-bearing alteration shell. The
precise geometry is not currently known as this is a complex pervasive alteration system.
Drilling ongoing to define geometry.
If it is not known and only the down-
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down-hole length, true
width not known’).

Down-hole length reported, true width not known
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.

Drill hole collar location map prepared.

Commentary
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

Representative reporting of all relevant grades is provided in tables to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.

Overview of exploration data leading to selection of drill targets provided.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Test for lateral and depth extensions, resource delineation of the mineralised structure.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Diagrams are included in this report of the geometry of structures subject to further drilling.
