ASX Announcement

ASX Code: DYL

16 March 2011

HIGH GRADE INTERCEPTS FURTHER ENHANCE THE ONGOLO ALASKITE PROJECT

Namibian-focussed advanced stage uranium explorer Deep Yellow Limited (ASX Code: DYL ) is pleased to announce that it has confirmed further significant high-grade uranium intercepts from its drilling programme at its Ongolo Alaskite Project .

The ongoing grid drilling programme has enabled DYL to outline a number of high-grade mineralised zones within a wider area of lower grade alaskite mineralisation. The recent drilling has not only significantly increased the width of the mineralised zone to 600 metres in the central area, but importantly, has also demonstrated continuity along strike and on section as well as to depth.

Across strike, multiple mineralised zones with grades in excess of 400 ppm U3O8 occur within a mineralised alaskite envelope with an average U3O8 content of approximately 200 ppm. Selected highlights from the assay results include:

  • ALAR210 11 metres at 3,405 ppm U3O8 from 58 metres

  • ALAR238 26 metres at 541 ppm U3O8 from 65 metres

  • ALAR242 28 metres at 459 ppm U3O8 from 85 metres

  • ALAR267 15 metres at 403 ppm U3O8 from 115 metres

  • ALAR231 11 metres at 1,554 ppm U3O8 from 132 metres

  • ALAR265 14 metres at 686 ppm U3O8 from 177 metres

  • ALAR239 3 metres at 2,565 ppm U3O8 from 202 metres

DYL’s Managing Director Greg Cochran commented “with 75% of the initially outlined target mineralised zone having been drilled out to date, the company is becoming increasingly confident that Ongolo will provide the open pit high-grade mineralisation needed to boost the overall Omahola Project resource base to a size that will enable it to be economically developed.”

Coffey Mining (Perth) recently commenced work on a JORC Code Mineral Resource estimate for Ongolo based on drilling (and assay) data completed to 4 March 2011. Resource drilling is continuing with the objective of covering the original 2 kilometre strike of the mineralised zone outlined by the early reconnaissance drill programme and beyond.

HIGH GRADE INTERCEPTS FURTHER ENHANCE THE ONGOLO ALASKITE PROJECT

DYL has confirmed further significant high-grade uranium intercepts from its JORC Code Resource drilling programme at its Ongolo Alaskite Project . DYL’s wholly-owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd (RUN), which is conducting the programme, received Fusion-XRF chemical assay results from samples submitted to the Scientific Services Geological Laboratories in Cape Town (South Africa) and Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Perth (Australia). It also obtained ICP-MS chemical assay results from samples submitted to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Swakopmund (Namibia).

Samples for chemical assay are selected based on downhole gamma logging results that indicate a grade of around 400 ppm. These assay results have enabled RUN to outline a number of highgrade mineralised zones within a wider area of lower grade alaskite mineralisation.

Four RC rigs and one diamond rig are currently drilling at Ongolo on an 85 x 53 metre grid and approximately 75% of the initial target mineralised zone has been drilled out to date. A plan of the project’s drilling area is included (Figure 1) and detailed assay results can be found in Table 1, whilst RUN’s detailed project locality map is included as Figure 2.

The recent drilling has significantly increased the width of the mineralised zone from some 400 metres to up to 600 metres wide in the central area. Importantly, continuity has been demonstrated along strike and on section as well as to depth. Across strike, multiple mineralised zones with grades in excess of 400 ppm U3O8 occur within the broader mineralised alaskite with a U3O8 background of approximately 200 ppm.

Highlights from the assay results include:

  • ALAD2 13 metres at 403 ppm U3O8 from 189 metres

  • ALAD5 13 metres at 443 ppm U3O8 from 104 metresALAR210 11 metres at 3,405 ppm U3O8 from 58 metresALAR226 19 metres at 421 ppm U3O8 from 113 metresALAR231 11 metres at 1,554 ppm U3O8 from 132 metresALAR238 26 metres at 541 ppm U3O8 from 65 metresALAR239 3 metres at 2,565 ppm U3O8 from 202 metresALAR240 14 metres at 409 ppm U3O8 from 95 metresALAR240 9 metres at 557 ppm U3O8 from 167 metresALAR242 28 metres at 459 ppm U3O8 from 85 metresALAR243 16 metres at 444 ppm U3O8 from 159 metresALAR244 8 metres at 680 ppm U3O8 from 75 metresALAR262 12 metres at 504 ppm U3O8 from 225 metresALAR265 14 metres at 686 ppm U3O8 from 177 metresALAR267 15 metres at 403 ppm U3O8 from 115 metresALAR325 11 metres at 485 ppm U3O8 from 165 metresALAR332 12 metres at 416 ppm U3O8 from 125 metresALAR332 8 metres at 732 ppm U3O8 from 145 metres

Coffey Mining (Perth) has commenced work on a JORC Code Mineral Resource estimate for Ongolo based on drilling (and assay) data completed to 4 March 2011. Resource drilling is continuing with the objective of covering the original 2 kilometre strike of the mineralised zone outlined by the early reconnaissance drill programme and beyond (see Figure 1).

The initial JORC Code Resource Mineral estimate will be updated in time as additional drill data from the Ongolo drilling programme becomes available.

* ICP-MS Analysis

Notes: TD is total depth of hole; U3O8 is a chemical assay by Fusion XRF or * ICP Mass Spectrometry as indicated. GTM is grade thickness metre and is calculated by multiplying the interval (m) x U3O8 (ppm)

Values of approximately 400 ppm U3O8 are deemed to be significant by DYL in this environment and therefore lower average values are not reported .

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 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.
