The current focussed drilling to delineate JORC Code mineral resources at various prospects in the Mount Isa district continues to achieve the primary objective by returning wide intercepts of ± 400 ppm U3O8 that are continuous to depth and which the Company believes is required for a viable open-pit mining operation.
Significantly, RC drilling at the Queens Gift Prospect has intersected ‘blind mineralisation’ at depth in the Eastern Zone with potential width and grade to sustain underground mining.
QUEENS GIFT PROSPECT
XRF chemical assays (cU3O8) from RC drilling at the Queens Gift Prospect continue to confirm and extend uranium mineralisation intersected in 2007/2008 programmes. Significant intercepts include:
-
19 metre at 502 ppm U3O8 from 64 metre
-
14 metre at 419 ppm U3O8 from 39 metre
-
45 metre at 344 ppm U3O8 from 152 metre
-
17 metre at 581 ppm U3O8 from surface
-
**17 metre at 619 ppm U3O8 from 274 metre ***
-
‘Blind mineralisation’ in the Deep Eastern Zone
ISA WEST PROJECT
RC drilling at the Isa West Project is now complete (for 2009). Of significance are the deep intercepts at the Thanksgiving and Bambino Prospects at ± 200 metre vertical depth. Intercepts at the Thanksgiving Prospect include:
-
27 metre at 420 ppm U3O8 from 125 metre
-
39 metre at 394 ppm U3O8 from 183 metre
-
33 metre at 404 ppm U3O8 from 180 metre

The schematic south to north cross-section 488900E (Figure 2) indicates that it may be possible to economically strip and completely mine out the mineralised section by open-pit methods rather than go underground on the INCA Deeps section to the north. Resource estimation and modelling will ultimately determine those parameters as part of the feasibility study.

Figure 2: Schematic south to north cross-section on 488900E
Presently about three RC and five DC holes remain to be completed within the detail grid area. DYL has appointed MSA Consulting of South Africa as the consultants to complete the JORC Code resource estimation.
It is the opinion of the DYL technical team that a grade of 400 ppm U3O8 will suffice for a viable open-pit operation for the near-surface portion of the INCA project. The higher density of mineralised material due to the presence of abundant iron (up to an SG of five where magnetite is dominant) means less volume to be removed per tonne and there is also potential to sell the magnetite (iron) as well. DYL’s target is still for 8,000 to 10,000 tonne contained U3O8 to trigger a study into a mining operation to produce between 1,000 and 1,500 tonne of U3O8 per annum. Should this proceed, additional feed for the plant will be sourced from the Tubas Red Sand deposit some 10 kilometre to the south of INCA. Chemical and metallurgical trials are being conducted on both deposits and the various ore-types present and to date no show-stoppers have been encountered.

PALAEOCHANNEL DRILLING
Reconnaissance drilling on the Tumas-Tubas palaeochannel system has been completed and drilling with 2 RC rigs is now being conducted within the Tumas EPL back towards the south to complete 50 by 50 metre drill-out of the mineralisation found to date (Figure 4). A completion date for the drilling and the JORC Code Resource estimation depend on results and how many holes are ultimately required to drill-off the mineralisation found and to complete the programme.

REGIONAL EXPLORATION
Reptile EPLs
A RC rig with good depth drilling capability is being used to drill test the prospectivity of the southern continuation of the stratigraphic belts which host the Rossing mine and exciting Rossing South discovery of Extract Resources immediately north of Reptile’s tenements. The holes are top-to-tail 60 degree angle towards the west across approximately 4 km long sections. Three lines are planned which will entail about 30,000 metre of drilling and take until about June 2010 to complete.
Nova JV
DYL is earning 65% in EPLs 3668, 3669 and 3670 through Reptile from Toro Energy’s subsidiary Nova Energy (Namibia) Pty Ltd). Application has been made for the renewal of the three EPLs.
The contracted +6,000 line kilometre heliborne electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over two of the three Nova JV EPLs is now complete. The purpose of the survey is to delineate surface radiometric anomalies; outline magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies and to facilitate mapping of prospective stratigraphic units under the extensive areas of desert sand cover. The JV is targeting secondary uranium mineralisation in palaeochannels and sheetwash sediments and primary mineralisation in metasomatically altered host rocks (as occur at INCA and in alaskites such as at Rossing and Rossing South).
Interpretation of the data will take about 3 months. Field checking of anomalies will occur during the first quarter 2010. Drilling should begin during second quarter 2010.

Coffey Mining Pty Ltd has been retained to carry out JORC Code resource estimates for five prospects within the Mount Isa District.
As previously announced, the 2009 RC and diamond drill programmes have primarily been focussed on proving to depth (~ 200 metre) shallow intersections of + 400 ppm U3O8 which DYL believe will sustain future open pit mining operations.
The various prospects comprise:
Isa West Project (earning 100% uranium rights from Xstrata) where the Thanksgiving and Bambino Prospects have been targeted RC and diamond drilling has been completed.
Prospector EPM 15070 – At the Queens Gift Prospect RC drilling has been completed for 2009. There remain six diamond drill holes for 800 m to supplement the 2008 core drilling programme.

Ewen EPM 14916 – Slance NW and NE Prospects where the RC rig from the Queens Gift programme is scheduled to commence drilling a 30 hole – 3,700 metre drill programme over the two prospects. Diamond drilling comprising three holes for 350 metre is also planned on the two prospects. The current schedule will see the Ewen drilling completed in late November.
Coffey Mining have visited Mount Isa and carried out an audit of the drill rigs, the sampling procedures, the in-house QA/QC programme and DYL’s contract laboratory. In addition, each prospect has been visited and available drill core inspected in order to characterise the geology, alteration and structural setting of the uranium mineralisation. Database interrogation has also commenced for the Bambino and Thanksgiving Prospects with preliminary mineralisation envelopes being generated.

Ewen EPM 14916 – Slance NW and NE Prospects
An RC drill programme totalling 30 holes for 3,700 metre will commence shortly at the Slance NW Prospect. The programme also includes 3 diamond holes for 350 metre.
Leichhardt River Project Leichhardt JV – EPM 14367 (DYL earning 50%)
The JV Agreement between DYL and Universal Resources Limited (Universal) was finalised and signed in late September. DYL will now arrange for the work area clearance by the Kalkadoon Community of the A25 and Big Dip radiometric anomalies (Figures 5 and 6) ahead of a planned 800 metre (8-10 holes) RC drill programme scheduled to commence in mid-November.
In August, a 340 line kilometre airborne radiometric and magnetic survey was flown over three ‘target zones’ (including A25 and Big Dip) identified from regional datasets and from previous work by Universal. The helicopter survey flown on 25 metre spaced lines at ~10 metre terrain clearance has outlined zones of intense deformation which are coincident with the known uranium anomalism at A25 and Big Dip.
Napperby Deeps JV Project
EL’s 24246 and 24606 (DYL 100% - Toro Energy Limited Option to Purchase, 50% on Deeps JV Toro and DYL)
Drilling of the three magnetic and gravity targets defined during the previous quarter will commence shortly with results expected during the next quarter.

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 is reported it relates to values attained from radio-metrically logging boreholes with Auslog equipment using an A675 slimline gamma ray tool. The probe has been calibrated at the Pelindaba Calibration facility in South Africa with calibration certification provided by Geotron Systems (Pty) Ltd a geophysical consultancy based in South Africa. All eU3O8 results reported are affected by issues pertaining to possible disequilibrium and uranium mobility which should be taken into account when interpreting those pending confirmatory chemical analyses.

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 100% 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.
