ASX Announcement

ASX Code: DYL

20 May 2010

DEEP YELLOW EXPANDS URANIUM FOOTPRINT AT INCA PROSPECT IN NAMIBIA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Initial JORC Code resource estimate at INCA announced 22 April 2010

  • 16 M tonnes at 400 ppm eU3O8 for 6,366 tonnes (14 Mlb) eU3O8

  • Resource area approximately 500 x 500 metres

  • Ongoing drilling expands main area of uranium mineralisation to approximately 1,500 x 500 metres, plus additional areas scattered across 4 km[2]

  • Outstanding drill intercepts outside the current JORC Code resource area include:

    • 11 m at 2,907 ppm eU3O8 from 39 m in Hole AM1 9200 11.100

    • 13 m at 1,586 ppm eU3O8 from 44 m in Hole AM1 9200 11.072

    • 24 m at 1,178 ppm eU3O8 from 40 m in Hole INCD15

  • Expanded JORC Code resource anticipated in September Quarter

Deep Yellow Limited (ASX Code: DYL ) is pleased to announce extensions to the area of uranium mineralisation with ongoing drilling at its INCA deposit in Namibia. INCA is part of the Omahola Project controlled by DYL’s wholly-owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia Pty Ltd (RUN) . See Figure 1 for tenement and project area location map.

On 22 April 2010, DYL announced the initial Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate in accordance with the JORC Code at INCA of 16 M tonnes at 400 ppm eU3O8 for 6,366 tonnes (14 Mlb) eU3O8 (as part the Omahola Project), across an area of approximately 500 x 500 metres . Results from continued drilling have increased the main area of mineralisation to approximately 1,500 x 500 metres and has also identified several additional areas of mineralisation, outside of the main area of mineralisation, scattered across a total area shown in Figure 2, of approximately 4 km[2] .

Ongoing drilling at INCA, following on from that used in the initial INCA resource estimate, includes reverse circulation (RC) holes and diamond core tails on select holes (Figure 3). The core samples will be used for additional metallurgical testwork.

Drilling has progressed within and around the initial resource area. Results from new drilling within the resource grid area will serve to improve the confidence and potentially expand the initial JORC Code resource estimate, while results from drilling outside and around the initial resource area are expected to increase the overall resource. See Figure 4 for photo of drill rigs at INCA.

Deep Yellow’s Managing Director Mr Patrick Mutz said “the very positive drilling results coming from INCA continue to reinforce Reptile’s and Deep Yellow’s confidence that the Omahola Project is shaping up to become a viable development project. I believe unique aspects of the INCA and Tubas Red Sand deposits make the Omahola Project a project to be watched as it progresses through Pre-Feasibility.”

The larger, 4 km[2] area (as shown in Figure 2) and beyond is now being investigated further by systematically deepening existing holes, to what is now a well established footwall marble marker unit, and infill drilling closer to the detail resource grid.

Data from the on-going drill programme will be incorporated into the next iteration of the Mineral Resource estimate in accordance with the JORC Code scheduled to be complete during the September Quarter.

In addition to ongoing drilling, a combination of airborne electromagnetic and gravity survey anomalies has provided both shallow and deep drill targets to the immediate north and south, which could lead to potential extensions of the known mineralised area.

Further information relating to the Company and its various exploration projects can be found on the Company’s website at www.deepyellow.com.au.

Compliance Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Dr Leon Pretorius a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr Pretorius 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 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Dr Pretorius consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Where eU3O8 and/or cU3O8 are reported it relates to values attained from radiometrically logging boreholes with Auslog equipment using an A675 slimline gamma ray tool. All probes are calibrated either at the Pelindaba Calibration facility in South Africa or at the Adelaide Calibration facility in South Australia.

Deep Yellow Limited is an Australian-based pure uranium exploration company with extensive advanced operations in Namibia and in Australia.

In Namibia the Company’s principal development focus is through its wholly owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia P/L at the mid to high grade INCA primary uraniferous magnetite and secondary Red Sand projects and the extensive secondary calcrete deposits contained in the Tumas-Oryx-Tubas palaeochannel and fluviatile sheetwash systems.

In Australia the Company is focused on resource delineation of mid to high grade discoveries in the Mt Isa district - Queensland, these include the Queens Gift, Conquest, Slance, Eldorado, Thanksgiving, Bambino and Turpentine Prospects.

A pipeline of other projects and discoveries in both countries are continually being examined and there is extensive exploration potential for new, additional uranium discoveries in both Namibia and Australia.
