ASX Announcement

ASX: DYL

05 April 2012

ENCOURAGING ONGOLO AND RECONNAISSANCE DRILLING RESULTS

KEY POINTS

  • The results of XRF Fusion chemical assays on samples from the high grade intercepts made at Ongolo and from reconnaissance lines (as reported in ASX Release dated 23 February 2012) have been received.

  • These results have confirmed a new discovery on a reconnaissance line approximately 2 kilometres south of Ongolo:

  • ALAR970 9 metres at 709 ppm U3O8 from 216 metres

  • ALAR978 6 metres at 1,430 ppm U3O8 from 171 metres

  • o ALAR980 3 metres at 1,071 ppm U3O8 from 156 metres

  • Selected Ongolo infill resource drilling results include:

  • ALAR426 4 metres at 1,630 ppm U3O8 from 45 metres

  • ALAR969 10 metres at 551 ppm U3O8 from 175 metres

  • ALAR990 18 metres at 499 ppm U3O8 from 297 metres

  • Infill resource drilling is continuing at Ongolo as is reconnaissance drilling southwest from Ongolo towards MS7, as well as at MS7.

  • Results of XRF Fusion chemical assays on samples from the high grade intercepts at the MS7 deposit will be available next week.

Advanced stage uranium e xplorer Deep Yellow Limited (ASX: DYL ) is pleased to announce XRF Fusion chemical assay results from resource and reconnaissance drilling conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd (RUN) from the Ongolo deposit area (Figure 1). The results, which were foreshadowed in an ASX Release dated 23 February 2012, are from the 2012 Drill Programme which commenced in mid-January.

Deep Yellow Managing Director Greg Cochran said that he was very pleased with the results. “We have come to expect these results from Ongolo but the confirmation of another new discovery, so close to Ongolo, is particularly exciting.”

The 2012 drill programme at Ongolo is primarily designed around increasing the size and confidence of the resource as well as testing for lateral and depth extensions to the high grade zones delineated last year whilst the objective of the reconnaissance drilling is to find new satellite deposits for the Omahola Project (Figures 2 and 3).

Reconnaissance Drilling

First results from the reconnaissance drill programme near to the Ongolo deposit have returned high grade uranium mineralisation associated with a well defined Alaskite-marble contact zone. (In 2010 a single hole returned a best value of 4 metres at 459 ppm U3O8 from 96 metres during initial reconnaissance drilling in the area, as per ASX Release dated 14 September 2010).

Infill and extension drilling along the marble contact zone (Figure 3) returned a number of high grade intersections at depth which will require follow-up diamond drilling to fully evaluate the structural setting of this new mineralised zone. The cluster of anomalous values along the marble contact zone centred on Line 5 will initially be followed along strike to Line 9 (1.7 kilometres).

The latest available chemical assay results are given in Appendix 1, whilst selected significant results include:

  • ALAR970 9 metres at 709 ppm U3O8 from 216 metres

  • ALAR978 6 metres at 1,430 ppm U3O8 from 171 metres

  • ALAR980 3 metres at 1,071 ppm U3O8 from 156 metres

Ongolo Alaskite Deposit

Fusion XRF chemical assays have also been received for the ‘infill’ drill programme in the centralwest of the Ongolo deposit. The results provide continuity between ‘resource blocks’ outlined by the 2011 drill programme and should serve to improve the JORC classification.

Deep Yellow’s primary focus is in Namibia where its operations are conducted by its 100% owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd (RUN). Its flagship is the Omahola Project currently under Pre-Feasibility Study with concurrent resource drill-outs on the high grade Ongolo Alaskite – MS7 trend. It is also evaluating a stand-alone project for its Tubas-TRS uranium deposit utilising physical beneficiation techniques it successfully tested in 2011.

Additionally, its Shiyela Magnetite deposit, located just 45 kilometres from the Namibian port of Walvis Bay, is the subject of ongoing evaluation.

In Australia the Company owns the Napperby Uranium Project and numerous exploration tenements in the Northern Territory and in the Mount Isa District in Queensland.

Notes: TD is total depth of hole; U3O8 is a chemical assay by Fusion XRF. 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 .
