QUARTERLY REPORT - FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 31 MARCH 2008

HIGHLIGHTS

NAMIBIA

  • Exploration continues unabated with 2,190 RC percussion drill holes for a total of 26,604 metre and 4 Diamond drill holes for 824 metre completed during the quarter. It is anticipated that the rate of drilling will steadily increase to the anticipated 20,000 metre per month as the crews of the five RC percussion rigs become more proficient.

  • Without exception, results from all areas are either meeting expectations by confirming historic work and results, or in the case of the follow-up drilling programmes being conducted on previously unknown mineralisation the results are very encouraging given the grade and widths of the numerous intersections returned to date.

  • The new mineralised palaeochannel discovery with uranium mineralisation over at least 3 km in the Tumas West and Northwest Prospect area is contiguous with the main Tumas deposit and will add significantly to the mineralisation outlined by Falconbridge for their historic estimate area. Significant results include:

14 m at 500 ppm eU3O8 from surface 10 m at 902 ppm eU3O8 from surface 12 m at 464 ppm eU3O8 from surface 10 m at 410 ppm eU3O8 from 1 m 11 m at 344 ppm eU3O8 from 1 m

  • First stage reconnaissance drilling has also successfully located significant new zones of uranium mineralisation ; in the Aussinanis North area; at the S-Bend (BA) prospect; at various magnetic anomalies; and in Alaskite at Tubas North.

  • An airborne electromagnetic survey (AEM) totalling 6,200 line kilometre was completed over the entire area of the four Exclusive Prospecting Licences. In addition 585 line kilometre of infill flying was also carried out over selected prospect areas.

  • Early data from the airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey indicates the existence of potentially deeper channel sections that could indicate buried palaeochannels that were not tested by previous explorers.

  • The Company has contracted Hellman & Schofield to carry out future JORC Code resource determinations.

AUSTRALIA

  • Following the seasonal break, preparations for the 2008 field season have been completed ahead of commencement of drilling at the Queens Gift prospect. The Mt Isa office has expanded and an exploration camp/office established at Eastern Creek to service the Queens Gift prospect and the Ewen prospect.

  • A diamond drill rig and two RC percussion drill rigs have been contracted to cover resource delineation drilling, follow-up of 2007 drill intersections and new regional target drilling.

  • Initial assessment of the Xstrata Isa West tenements commenced with potential drill targets being outlined by ground radiometric surveys.

  • First access for uranium exploration to a number of tenements in the Alice Springs district has been achieved and field crews have commenced evaluation programmes.

  • Toro Energy Ltd announced that it has commenced the outline of a planned scoping study for the Napperby Uranium Project and that an updated resource estimate would be released in the June quarter.

  • DYL’s joint venture partner Uranio Ltd completed an 8 hole rotary mud drill programme on the Siccus Joint Venture tenement in the Frome Basin, South Australia.

  • The Company has appointed Mr Sandy Moyle as its Exploration Manager . With 27 years experience behind him Sandy will be responsible for the day to day management of DYL’s extensive tenement portfolio in Australia and importantly will mentor and lead DYL’s growing exploration team based in Mt Isa, Alice Springs and out of the Perth Office.

CORPORATE

  • Option issue to Employees and Contractors

During the quarter the Directors resolved to issue 20,100,000 unlisted options to acquire ordinary shares in Deep Yellow Limited to employees, and contractors. The issue was made pursuant to the terms of the Deep Yellow Limited Directors, Employees and Other Permitted Persons Option Plan which was approved at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2006.

No Director or Director related entity participated in the issue.

  • Release of Restricted Securities

The Company released the voluntary restriction applicable to 82 million ordinary shares during the quarter. The shares were part of the consideration paid in 2006 for the acquisition/merger of Raptor Minerals Limited and ultimately the Namibian subsidiary companies which own and control Namibian Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPL’s) 3496 Tubas, 3497 Tumas, 3499 Ripnes and 3498 Aussinanis.

OUTLOOK

Without exception results from DYL’s wholly owned Namibian subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) LTD (Reptile) exploration programmes in Namibia are either meeting expectations by confirming historic work and results, or in the case of the follow-up drilling programmes being conducted in areas of previously unknown mineralisation, the results are very encouraging given the grade and widths of numerous new intersections.

The stated target objective of DYL is to have outlined JORC Code resources of between 45,000 and 55,000 tonne U3O8 by end 2008 within its Namibian tenements. Given the rate of drilling and results being attained this objective remains on target.

A diamond drill programme at the Queens Gift prospect in Queensland will target JORC Code inferred resource delineation as follow-up to the multiple wide intersections reported from the 2007 drill programme.

RC percussion and diamond drilling of the Miranda prospect in Queensland will evaluate the economic potential of the deposit.

RC percussion and RAB drilling of multiple targets both in Namibia and Australia will also provide a ‘pipeline’ of prospects for assessment during the 2008 field season.

EXPLORATION - NAMIBIA

The Company’s tenements in Namibia are held by Reptile and exploration is carried out by its employees and contractors based out of Swakopmund.

KEY POINTS FOR MARCH QUARTER

  • Since January, Reptile has increased its drilling activities from one to five RC percussion drill rigs and one diamond rig working on various prospect areas within its four Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs). Chemical assays and equivalent uranium values are now available for a number of the holes completed up to 27 April and are summarised within the write-up for each prospect area.

  • Without exception results from all prospect areas are either meeting expectations by confirming historic work and results, or in the case of the follow-up drilling programmes being conducted in areas of previously unknown mineralisation, the results are very encouraging given the grade and widths of numerous new intersections.

  • Early data from the airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey indicates the existence of potentially deeper channel sections that could indicate buried palaeochannels that were not tested by previous explorers. Several areas have been selected for infill flying and once all data is in hand detail evaluation and interpretation will be undertaken. Reptile’s drilling in the Tumas area on an indicated deeper section of buried channel is underway and numerous intersections have been made below 12 metre from surface. Confirmatory drilling, radiometric logging and chemical assays are underway and results will be released as soon as they become available.

  • Anglo American previously reported 6 metre at 550 ppm U3O8 and 4 metre of 375 ppm U3O8 a few kilometre further to the northwest of the Tumas area within their Oryx tenement from widespread reconnaissance drilling that was not followed up. It would appear that these holes fall within the continuation of the AEM outlined buried palaeochannel.

PROJECT UPDATE

The various prospect areas drilled in recent months are shown in Figure 1. The background of the figure is the U[2] /Th airborne radiometric anomalous zones which essentially delineates outcropping or near surface uranium mineralisation throughout the four EPLs. As previously reported to the ASX (23 January 2008) a helicopter supported reconnaissance sampling programme was carried out over the bulk of these anomalies in order to provide “drill targets” outside of the previously known mineralised areas as reported from the 1970s and early 1980s exploration programmes.

Figure 1: U[2] /Th Anomaly Zones

First stage reconnaissance drilling has successfully located significant new zones of uranium mineralisation in the West and Northwest (downstream) extension of the Tumas project area delineated by Falconbridge; in the Aussinanis North area; at the S-Bend (BA) prospect; at various magnetic anomalies; and in Alaskite at Tubas North.

TUMAS PROSPECT

Reptile has recovered and surveyed (by differential GPS) the majority of drill collars for the Falconbridge historic estimate, but has decided against (radiometrically) re-logging the holes and/or using the scant chemical data available. The entire prospect area will be re-drilled on an offset 50 by 50 m grid pattern to ensure JORC Code compliance.

The U[2] /Th anomaly map (Figure 1) indicates potential mineralisation to the east and northeast of the Falconbridge project area and these extensions will be drill tested upon completion of the drillout of the known Falconbridge area and present drilling campaign to the north and northwest of Tumas.

TUMAS (previously drilled), TUMAS WEST and NORTHWEST (previously untested)

The original Falconbridge delineated mineralisation was limited to the extent of their then tenement holding. As shown in Figure 1 a strong U[2] /Th anomaly extends west and northwest from the Tumas mineralised area. Reptile is completing a systematic RC percussion drilling programme (to date 927 holes completed for 12,375 metre) along the palaeochannel extensions and now has in hand the preliminary AEM data that indicates potentially deep sections that were never tested before. Interestingly Anglo American reported 6 metre of 550 ppm U3O8 and 4 metre of 375 ppm U3O8 a few kilometre further to the northwest of this area within their Oryx tenement from widespread reconnaissance drilling that was not followed up. It would appear that these holes fall within the AEM indicated potential buried palaeochannel.

Significant newly discovered (not yet drilled out) calcrete hosted mineralisation over at least 3 km in the Tumas West and Northwest Prospect area (see Figure 2) is contiguous with the main Tumas mineralisation outlined by Falconbridge for their historic estimate area deposit and will add significantly to it. (Better results are given in Table 1.)

Figure 2: Tumas West and Northwest Mineralised Palaeochannel

S-BEND (BA) PROSPECT (mostly untested)

Follow-up sampling of the airborne anomaly at the S-Bend palaeochannel location retrieved surface values of up to 5,735 ppm U3O8 (ASX 23 January 2008).

The S-Bend palaeochannel appears to mirror the breakthrough and valley formation as at the Langer Heinrich mine 18 km to the north (see Figure 3).

Results from the 463 holes for 3,075 metre completed to date from the nominally 100 x 50 m spaced drill sections are encouraging indicating widespread calcrete hosted mineralisation. Better results are given in Table 2.

AUSSINANIS NORTH PROSPECT (mostly untested)

The reconnaissance programme in the Aussinanis North area was drilled to provide targets for later systematic drillout prior to commencing the 50 x 50 metre grid drillout of the known mineralised Elf-Aquitaine project area in the south of the tenement.

As shown in Figure 1 the Aussinanis mineralised zone occurs over an area of 15 by 3 (to 4) km from the southern tenement boundary. A total of 779 holes for 8,979 metre completed to date. Better results are given in Table 3.

Rig Move Aussinanis North Prospect

AUSSINANIS PROSPECT

Following receipt of Archaeological clearance the two RC percussion rigs from the Aussinanis North Prospect area, will now commence drilling over the main Aussinanis mineralised zone on 50 x 50 m grid centres.

Reptile has previously announced (ASX 5 July 2007) a resource target of between 20-25 million tonnes in a grade of 250 and 300 ppm U3O8. This target area (see Figure 1) comprises only 5 km of the 15 km strike covered by Elf-Aquitaine’s regional drilling between 1974 and 1982 for which they completed work to feasibility study level.

TUBAS PROSPECT

Five close spaced RC percussion holes were completed along the trace of the trench which is to be dug once suitable equipment becomes available.

All previously drilled holes have now been surveyed using a differential GPS system.

MAGNETITE-URANIUM PROSPECTS

As previously reported to the ASX (4 March 2008) reconnaissance RC percussion and diamond drilling of the M1 prospect returned significant uranium mineralised intercepts within magnetite rich zones associated with domal structures in high grade metamorphosed sedimentary and granite terrane.

Logging of drill core indicates a late stage metasomatic event within the basement Damara terrane. Mineralisation comprises both wide +100 ppm U308 zones with narrower higher grade (+1,000 ppm U308) zones.

Samples have been selected for petrographic and mineralogical sections and multi-element analysis ahead of a core splitting, sampling and assaying programme.

The significant results from the M1 prospect have lead to a decision to pattern RC percussion drill the M1 area on a 50 x 50 metre grid to depths of 100 to 150 metre and to drill a 500 metre deep vertical diamond hole at the M62 magnetite anomaly (see Figure 1) when a rig is available.

TUBAS NORTH ALASKITE PROSPECT (previously untested)

As previously reported (ASX 4 March 2008) Reptile has been evaluating the potential of alaskites within the Northern Tubas area. A total of five RC percussion drill holes for 744 metre and one diamond core hole for 500 metre have been completed to date. Better results are given in Table 5.

The alaskite outcrop shown in the photograph below comprises of grey white alaskite bands intercalated with dark grey to black gneissic granite (the diamond driller’s camp can be seen at the base of the hills). The drill core photograph shows wide alaskite zones and narrower dark interbanded gneissic granite zones.

==> picture [473 x 321] intentionally omitted <==

Tubas North Alaskite Prospect

The diamond drill core is yet to be split, sampled and assayed. Down hole radiometric logging returned extensive +100 ppm eU308 values typical for such alaskitic material in the area as reported by other explorers with adjoining tenements.

Importantly, secondary uranium mineralisation is developed in sands and calcrete within a broad plain south-southwest from the outcrop areas. Pending results of the AEM survey, either delineated channels will be drill tested or the area will be pattern RAB drilled testing both the alaskite potential beneath cover and palaeochannel potential southwest from the northern tenement boundary.

AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETICS

Early AEM data and interpretation indicates the existence of potentially deeper channel sections that could indicate buried palaeochannels that were not tested by previous explorers.

It is evident from preliminary images that the AEM survey worked well and will generate new deeper channel areas for follow-up drill testing. The discovery of extensive uranium mineralisation in calcrete below 12 metre of cover at Tumas bodes well for the prospectivity of other AEM indicated buried channels.

PROJECT OUTLOOK

Without exception results from all areas reported on above are either meeting expectations by confirming historic work and results, or in the case of the follow-up drilling programmes being conducted on previously unknown mineralisation the results are very encouraging given the grade and widths of the intersections.

The stated target objective of DYL is to have outlined JORC Code resources of between 45,000 and 55,000 tonne U3O8 by end 2008 within its Namibian tenements and given the rate of drilling and results being attained this objective is still on target.

It is evident from early AEM data that the survey worked well and will generate new deeper channel areas for follow-up drill testing in addition to the Tumas West and Northwest area.

FORWARD PROGRAMME

To continue RC drilling at an approximate rate of 20,000 metre per month on both JORC Code orientated grid drilling and on new calcrete hosted discoveries. Separately, assessment of the magnetite and alaskite primary mineralised targets will continue.

Diamond drilling will be used as required in order to provide better geological information.

PROSPECTOR EPM 15070 (DYL 100%)

Queens Gift Prospect

A 1,500 to 2,000 metre diamond drill programme commenced at Queens Gift on 29 April (see Figure 5). The drilling will initially target the down dip / down plunge extensions to the mineralisation outlined by the 2007 RC percussion drill programme. Ahead of the drilling the previous surface mapping was verified and detailed infill mapping (1:500 Scale) of the prospect commenced incorporating geological and mineralisation input from drill results and petrology.

The mapping programme is aimed at maximising the use of all current data, particularly alteration and structure, to assist with finalising the hole locations in the planned drilling programme. Drill pads and sumps have been pushed as well as rehabilitating existing access tracks to Queens Gift. A petrology report by Pontifex & Associates on drill chips samples from Queens Gift highlighted that chlorite, carbonate, hematite and silica alteration is associated with uraninite ± brannerite mineralisation. The host rock is described as dominantly brecciated, sheared, foliated, albite-rich altered basalt which is similar to the Valhalla deposit. Dependent upon the initial diamond drilling results the programme will be escalated with a view to delineating a JORC code inferred resource.

Planned activities include:

  • Diamond drilling commenced 29 April.

  • Complete QAQC data and assay duplicate samples of higher grade intercepts.

  • Evaluate the remaining outcrop and covered areas within EPM 15070 area using multielement geochemistry to evaluate structural targets identified from the interpretation of aeromagnetic data.

  • RC percussion drill geochemical anomalies targeting buried uranium mineralisation.

A petrographic and mineralogical report was received for drill chips from several holes drilled in 2007 The report indicated that uranium mineralisation was present as uraninite and coffinite hosted within two lithology types namely chlorite altered felsic granitoid (possibly a quartz diorite or quartz monzonite) and chlorite schist. Magnetite and pyrite were also present in all samples.

Planned Activities:

  • Complete 3D interpretation of 2006 and 2007 mineralised zones.

  • Complete and review QAQC data and assay duplicate samples of higher grade intercepts.

  • Extend radiometric surveys and investigate nearby high radiometric anomalies and magnetic anomalies.

  • Plan RC drill holes to test along strike radiometric anomalies and investigate deep magnetic targets.

Warwick Prospect - EMP 14282

Site heritage clearance was completed for the prospect area and an access track cleared through to the Warwick prospect (see Figure 5) to the north of the Mt Cuthbert copper mine (Matrix Metals).

Planned activities include :

  • Map and sample all high priority radiometric anomalies.

  • Prepare the high ranking targets for RC percussion drilling.

Sampling of Anomaly 78 – Warwick in 2007 returned highgrade samples assaying up to 1.17% U3O8 over 80 m strike associated with narrow chlorite-sericite schist zones and more ‘mafic’ layers within the felsic rock similar to the mineralisation at the Miranda Prospect to the south.

Ewen - EMP 14916

As follow-up to the excellent results returned from the first-pass RC percussion drill programme carried out over several prospects within the tenement (ASX 30 January 2008) a further 5000 m of RC drilling is planned to commence in early May.

Planned activities :

  • Complete mapping and ground radiometric surveys over untested targets identified by the 2007 reconnaissance programme (see Figure 5).

  • RC percussion and diamond drilling at the Conquest prospect which returned 66 m at 373 ppm U3O8 from 22 m including 4 m at 1,863 ppm U3O8 from 78 m in hole DCQRC 006 in 2007.

ISA WEST PROJECT (earning 100% of uranium rights from Xstrata)

As previously announced to the ASX (21 January, 2008) DYL reached agreement with Mount Isa Mines Limited (a company within the Xstrata Group) ( Xstrata ) whereby DYL may (subject to a number of conditions) ultimately acquire 100% of the uranium rights over six (6) tenements held by Xstrata . The tenements (see Figure 6) cover a total of 504 km[2] immediately west of the Mt Isa townsite/minesite.

The Earn-In Option Term Sheet (the Agreement) provides DYL with four (4) years from the commencement of exploration activities by DYL (1 February 2008) in which to explore the tenements for uranium with an option (subject to DYL spending at least $10 million on exploration in the first four years of the Agreement and a number of other conditions being met) for an Additional Period of five (5) years in which to continue exploration for uranium and/or apply for a mining lease to develop a uranium mine.

The six Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPM’s) are known collectively as the Isa West Tenements and importantly they cover extensive basalt and sediment sequences of the prospective Haslingden Group which hosts the Valhalla and Skal (Summit/Paladin) and Queens Gift ( DYL ) uranium deposits (see Figure 7).

Since commencement of work on the tenements in early February DYL has completed an initial assessment of the Xstrata database and completed mapping and broad spaced ground radiometric surveys over seven target areas previously identified by Xstrata.

The data collected from these initial radiometric surveys was used to define precise areas of radiometric highs over which ‘infill’ ground radiometric surveys have been conducted in order to further define potential RC percussion drill targets

In addition to the targets identified by Xstrata a detail review of historic exploration (reports) is underway with a view to identifying priority drill targets from the known uranium occurrences within the tenements (see Figure 7).

Planned Activities

  • Continuation of radiometric ‘infill’ surveys.

  • Design and execution of further ground radiometric surveys within Mosses Bore, North Branch Creek and Slaughter Yard North.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

Napperby Project

(DYL 100% - Toro Energy Limited Option to Purchase)

Toro Energy Ltd (Toro) has announced (ASX 28 April 2008) an updated resource estimate is expected in the June quarter for the Napperby uranium project in the Northern Territory following receipt of further favourable drilling results.

Napperby, located 150 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs (see Figure 8), has a current Inferred Resource (compliant with the JORC code) of 1.47 million pounds or 670 contained tonne of U3O8 as part of a broader mineralised system.

In addition, Toro’s project team has also commenced the outline of a planned scoping study for the uranium project, including ongoing metallurgical testing, baseline environmental work, and initial groundwater and hydrogeological studies.

The 2007 results have increased the integrity of Napperby’s mineralised zone, include multiple significant grade intersections, and exhibit cohesive grade – thickness within the target mineralised zone.

Best drill intercepts using a 200 ppm U3O8 cut-off included:

5.5 m at 907 ppm (0.09%) U3O8 Incl 1.5 m at 2,063 ppm (0.21%) U3O8 3.5 m at 967 ppm (0.10%) U3O8 3.0 m at 886 ppm (0.09%) U3O8 1.5 m at 1,233 ppm (0.12%) U3O8 1.5 m at 1,225 ppm (0.12%) U3O8

The average grade of all assays received was 469 ppm (0.05%) U3O8 at 200 ppm cut-off within a shallow mineralisation zone between three and eight metres depth. Initial metallurgical tests are also in progress.

Angela and Pamela

DYL was informed by DPIFM that its submission (ELA 25767) to acquire the Angela and Pamela uranium deposits 25 km to the south of Alice Springs was unsuccessful.

Nonouba (DYL – 100%)

The Nonouba tenement EL 24547 is located 60 kilometres west-southwest of Alice Springs (see Figure 8). Compilation of previous exploration carried out by Uranerz in the 1970-80s has outlined a number of uranium anomalous drill holes that require follow-up testing. The tenement is 40 kilometre due west of the Angela and Pamela uranium deposit with historic drilling continuous between the two areas. As at Angela and Pamela geochemical anomalous uranium values were returned from shallow drilling over the sub-cropping, north-dipping limb of the Eclipse Syncline. The Angela and Pamela mineralisation position has not been drilled at Nonouba. A 2,000 m RC percussion drill programme is planned for the prospect targeting the down-dip extension of the shallow results returned the from previous exploration programme by Uranez.

Mt Doreen Project (DYL – 100%)

Following consultation with the CLC, DYL has agreed to incorporate the five exploration licences, namely EL’s 23640, 25541, 25698, 25701 and 25702 that comprise the Mt Doreen Project (see Figure 8) into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement. Exploration is scheduled to commence in midMay with reconnaissance mapping ahead of an extensive RAB drill programme in July/August. The Company is also considering flying an airborne electromagnetic survey over the project area in conjunction with surveys over the Reynolds Range and Mt Liebig project areas.

Aboriginal Land Trust Areas

The Company has been informed by the CLC that ‘first meetings’ with respect to its Nancy Hill, Mt Morris, Officer and Solitaire tenement applications (see Figure 8) have been scheduled for June-July this year.

Birrindudu Project (DYL 100% uranium rights)

At a meeting between Traditional Owners, the CLC and DYL held at Kalkarindji on the 17 April, the Company presented its proposed uranium exploration programme over the tenements comprising the Birrindudu Project area (see Figure 8). The tenements are held by Tanami Gold NL who will be carrying out concurrent gold exploration programmes over the same ground.

Alice Springs Joint Venture (DYL 50% reducing to 25%)

Rum Jungle Uranium (RJU) was admitted to the ASX on 21 November 2007 and in accordance with the Agreement they acquired 50% interest in six exploration licences in the Alice Springs District (ELs 10360, 10401, 10404, 22918, 22923 and 25101) (see Figure 8).

A meeting was held between Traditional Owners, the Central Land Council (CLC) and the JV partners to discuss access for drilling to EL’s 10401 and 22923. The Traditional Owners vetoed access for drilling and the likely outcome is that the JV will relinquish the tenements.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Siccus Joint Venture (DYL 20%)

DYL’s joint venture partner Uranio Limited (Uranio) recently completed a 1,600 metre of rotary mud drilling programme on the Siccus Joint Venture’s highly prospective exploration licence EL 3288. The first pass drilling comprising 8 holes was conducted over 16 km strike of Tertiary age palaeodrainage targets in the south and west of the licence area (see Figure 9).

Quarterly Report – 31 March 2008

==> picture [42 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

The drill program was designed to identify prospective host sands and test for uranium mineralisation similar to that found in known uranium mines and deposits in the Frome Basin at Beverley, Honeymoon and Goulds Dam and the Beverley Four Mile discovery. Target lithologies included shoestring sands hosted by the Namba Formation (Beverley mine host lithology) and basal channel sands of the Eyre Formation, the known host to the other significant uranium deposits in the Frome Basin. Namba Formation was intersected in all eight holes and the prospective Eyre Formation sands in four of the eight drill holes completed.

All holes reached targeted depth. Downhole total count gamma probing was the principal investigative method. The historic radiometric anomalism was replicated, although confirmed to be limited to Namba Formation clays. The best radiometric anomalies found were 10x and 14x background spikes hosted by Namba Formation clays. The basal channel sands of the Eyre Formation, where intersected in four of the eight holes, were thick, permeable and reduced. However, no redox front was intersected and no significant radiometric anomalism was observed in the Eyre Formation sands where drilled.

A major palaeochannel and a number of tributaries have been identified and interpreted from previous drilling and airborne geophysical surveys for over 60 km of strike within EL 3288. As indicated in the plan, the first pass drilling was limited to testing the western side of the interpreted main palaeochannel (at the southern end of the licence area) and one western tributary.

Follow up drilling is planned for later this year by Uranio in order to better define and test the main palaeochannel and tributaries, and to locate possible redox interfaces in the prospective Eyre Formation sands.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Ponton North Joint Venture (DYL 30%)

DYL’s joint venture partner Uranio has recently commenced assessment of the Ponton North project area which is underlain by Tertiary palaeochannels that are considered highly prospective for uranium mineralisation and which connect with the nearby Mulga Rock uranium deposits.

A 1,225 line kilometre Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) survey was commissioned by DYL over the tenements in late 2007. The results of the survey are now being assessed / reinterpreted by Uranio (see Figure 10). Initial assessment confirms the expected location of the known palaeochannels (red) in the southern part of the project. The results confirm that the drainage palaeochannels with uranium deposit potential continue through the Ponton North project area from the areas of known uranium mineralisation at Mulga Rock to the north.

The AEM survey also identifies a prospective, but as yet undrilled, Eocene channel system draining southeastwards from the Mingiwal region that intersects the northern part of the project area.

These results will help in providing targets for a first pass drill program later this year. This will be aimed at better defining the prospective palaeochannels and both planar and discordant redox facies within them.
