Highlights
30 July 2009
Namibia
Drilling by Deep Yellow Ltd (DYL’s) wholly owned Namibian subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) LTD (Reptile) continued on the INCA uraniferous magnetite and palaeochannel projects located near Swakopmund in Namibia with up to 8 RC and two diamond rigs operating during the quarter and completing 28,343 metre of drilling. Some spectacular results were announced during the quarter and are repeated in the body of this report.
The drill out for JORC Code resource estimation on the detail grid area at INCA should be completed in the next quarter after which exploration will be aimed at extensions to the mineralisation. Reconnaissance drilling on the palaeochannels will also be completed after which detail drilling on anomalous areas will be carried out for JORC Code resource estimation.
The three Reptile Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) that expired in June were renewed in their entirety for a further two years.
Reptile has entered into an agreement with a Namibian Black Economic Empowerment Group (BEE) and has agreed terms for the establishment of a Trust to address the local Community requirements as set out by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).
Reptile and Nova Energy Namibia (a subsidiary of ASX listed Toro Energy Ltd (Toro)) have also entered into a Joint Venture on the three EPLs held by Nova which abut Reptile’s tenements. Nova has also entered into BEE agreements which met with the MME’s requirements to allow renewal of the EPLs to take place. The initial work on these tenements will be to carry out airborne geophysical surveys which will take place during the next quarter.
The Company appointed Pieter Niemann who is an ex-Rossing and Olympic Dam metallurgical engineer as Manager – Projects and his first job will be to develop the INCA and Tubas Red Sand scoping studies. This process will include the selection of the engineering group for the way forward. This will then also determine the consultant group to be used for the JORC Code estimation work not only on these two projects but also for the outstanding drill data from 2008.

Exploration programmes for the quarter comprised RC drilling (70 holes for 6,869 metre) and diamond drilling (5 holes for 454 metre) at the Isa West Project, Mount Isa. In addition siteworks were completed for a 5,000 metre RC drilling and 1,000 metre diamond drilling programme at the Queens Gift Prospect north of Mount Isa.
To date, 81 RC holes for 7,607 metre have been completed and 2,535 samples collected for assaying from the 2009 programme at Isa West. The drill programmes on 25 metre spaced sections and 25 metre centres is outlining well developed and robust mineralised zones/structures at the Bambino and Thanksgiving Prospects. The current Stage 1 drill programme will end on or about 31 July 2009 and a 1-2 week review of the results will be undertaken whilst siteworks for the Stage 2 programme are completed. Stage 2 of RC drilling on 50 metre sections will under-cut the Stage 1 programme holes with a view to evaluating resource potential down to 200 metre vertical depth.
Detail drill results for the quarter have been released in ASX announcements on the 19, 26 May and 21 July 2009.
RC percussion drilling (5,000 metre) commenced at Queens Gift on 18 July 2009. The programme will test to 150-200 metre vertical depth the two main mineralised shoots outlined by the 2007/2008 drill programmes. A 1,000 metre diamond drill programme will follow-on from the RC drilling.

INCA PROJECT
ASX announcements were made on the INCA Project on 23 and 29 April, 21 May and 22 July and the following summarises activities for the quarter.
-
Drilling to deeper depths than before has returned wide intersections of uranium mineralisation of around one pound (450 ppm) U3O8 or better at ±200 metre depth including exceptionally high grades of up to 3.2% U3O8 over 2 metre in hole INCR150.
-
The style of mineralisation at INCA is being classified as a metasomatic – magnetite skarn type which is distinct and different from the known lower grade alaskite hosted uranium mineralisation being mined at Rossing and on the projects controlled by other companies in the district with the exception of the recently announced higher grade Rossing South discovery of Extract Resources which exhibits some similarities to the INCA mineralisation.

-
Reptile has been drilling out a portion of the INCA project area since January 2009 as followup to its limited initial drilling around the historic Von Stryk iron ore pit (ASX 13 March 2008) which returned 115 metre at 229 ppm eU3O8 from 14 metre in diamond drill hole ADM 02 . Results from the successful follow-up RC drill programme (Table 1) on 100 by 100 metre centres to a nominal 100 metre depth over an area in excess of four square kilometre in conjunction with Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) data led to the interpretation of depth potential for the uranium and magnetite mineralised zone as well as an appreciation of the discovery of a new style of uranium mineralisation for the area.
-
The drill holes testing this theory returned early success indicating a zone of mineralisation towards the north that is ten’s of metre thick located approximately 200 metre below surface. XRF chemical assay and equivalent (radiometric logging) uranium results are contained in Tables 2 and 3.
-
The extent of the INCA Deeps mineralisation will be tested once the drill out of the 500 by 350 metre resource block grid area has been completed. Excessive water and the deeper than expected extent of the mineralisation has led to RC holes having to be deepened by diamond drilling which has slowed down the programme. It is now estimated that drilling should be completed during the next quarter.
-
The status of the drill programme is given in Figure 2. All holes already completed that finished above the marble marker will be deepened to the marble and where the mineralisation has not been intersected on the southern and western margins of the deposit, the hole spacing will be reduced to 25 metre. It is estimated that the grid drilling will be completed during the next quarter.

-
Along with the drilling programme, metallurgical and other scoping studies have continued and a shortlist of consultants to undertake the detailed investigations leading to a DFS is almost complete. It is anticipated that an announcement with respect to the successful group will be made during the third quarter.
-
The conceptual/initial mine and production scenario that DYL has modelled is to combine ore from the Tubas Red Sand project with that from INCA to produce around 1,000 tonne per annum of U3O8 at a feed grade of +400 ppm . It is estimated that an initial resource of 8,000 to 10,000 tonne will suffice to fund this development while drilling will continue with a view to increasing the resource as regional holes indicate a much larger zone of alteration and mineralisation is present at INCA.
-
Shown in Figure 3 is a South to North section looking West depicting the mineralised envelopes. The main zone which contains extensive +500 ppm U3O8 zones will hopefully drive an open-pit down to levels where the high-grade INCA Deeps mineralisation starts.

-
The outline of a potential starter open-pit is shown in Figure 4 and is based upon a grade in excess of 400 ppm eU3O8 over 6 metre but mostly with a GTM * over 5,000 above 120 metre. The INCA Deeps mineralised area is expected to grow as deeper drilling continues, but as can be seen using a grade of +1,000 ppm eU3O8 over 3 metre** (or GTM over 3,000) it appears to form an arcuate zone to the northeast of the potential open-pit that should then be readily accessible from the base of the pit.
-
Taking into consideration that many holes remain to be deepened to the marble ‘footwall’ marker and others remain to be drilled to infill the grid to the minimum spacing of 50 by 50 metre the models in Figures 3 and 4 are a ‘work in progress’, but as information flows the model is becoming more robust.

* GTM - a measure of U3O8 present expressed as grade in ppm x width of intersection
- Some of the GTM values are quite phenomenal (up to almost 40,000) and when the higher than normal densities of the host rock due to the abundant presence of iron (magnetite), is taken into consideration, it can be expected that the tonnages of metal present once the JORC Code resource work is complete will be favourable towards an early development schedule.

- A conceptual flow-sheet and plant design is portrayed in Figures 5 and 6 based upon the testwork completed to date. The recovery of iron has important economic implications as existing and potential new acid treatment uranium plants in the area require iron in their oxidation process.

- Heap leach trials have been carried out in columns using a blend of 20% Tubas Red Sand and 80% INCA uraniferous magnetite which was acid cured and then agglomerated. As can be seen in Figure 7 the agglomerate essentially remained intact after 17 days of leaching and washing. All testwork has been completed on unscreened and uncrushed RC drill chips with excellent recoveries of above 80%. This would appear to indicate that milling which is a highly energy intensive and expensive step may not be required.

- Mineralogical and microprobe investigations on the massive uraniferous magnetite (with lesser hematite) as seen in the core photo in Figure 8 shows the primary uranium mineral to be coarse uraninite with minor pitchblende as can be seen in the microprobe photograph in Figure 9. The secondary minerals present are uranophane and beta-uranophane. No refractory uranium minerals have been identified to date.

PALAEOCHANNEL DRILLING
ASX announcements on the ongoing reconnaissance drilling on the extensive Tumas-Oryx-Tubas palaeochannel systems on wide-spaced lines were made on 9 June, 16 June and 20 July 2009. The drilling being undertaken with four RC rigs continues to intersect high-grade and/or wide zones of carnotite mineralisation. The holes listed in the Table 4 below are some of those highlighted in Figure 10 which indicates the widespread prospectivity of the system. There now remains about 20 kilometre of untested channel system to be reconnaissance drilled prior to the commencement of detail infill drilling around the mineralised holes to generate JORC Code resources. The detail drilling is expected to commence during the next quarter.

NOVA ENERGY JOINT VENTURE
Toro and DYL announced on 28 May that they had entered into a JV whereby DYL through their wholly owned Namibian subsidiary Reptile will spend A$3.5 million over the next two and a half years on three EPLs held by Toro’s Namibian subsidiary Nova. Reptile will then be entitled to earn a 65% share of the Joint Venture. Toro will retain 25% with Namibian BEE Company, Sixzone Investments Proprietary Limited, holding a 10% share.
Reptile is now able to commence work following the grant of renewals for the three Nova-held EPLs, (3668, 3669 and 3670) by the MME and the approval of the joint venture agreement by the Minister.
The location of Nova’s EPLs in relation to Reptile’s uranium tenements and to other significant uranium projects and mines, is shown in Figure 1 and include:
-
EPL 3668 lies immediately downstream of the operating Langer Heinrich Uranium mine with the potential for the discovery of a similar style mineralisation. Exploration will focus on fully evaluating the buried palaeochannels within this tenement.
-
EPL 3669 is located immediately south of where Bannerman Resources are exploring uranium rich granites known as Alaskites at their Etango Project. There is also potential for uranium mineralisation associated with magnetite-skarn mineralisation similar to the INCA Project discovery announced by DYL. (ASX release 23 April 2009).
-
EPL 3670 is in the southern part of the Erongo district adjacent to the Aussinanis calcrete deposit being explored by DYL. The tenement has similar radiometric anomalies that could be evaluated with shallow drilling as well as buried Alaskite potential.
Exploration Programme
Reptile has entered into an agreement with Geotech Airborne Limited to undertake a helicopterborne electromagnetic, radiometric and magnetic geophysical survey for approximately 6,087 linekilometre over the two western Nova JV tenements (Figure 1).
The survey has commenced and is estimated to be completed within about 4 to 6 weeks pending weather conditions (wind and mist).
The survey areas are mostly sand covered and the survey is primarily aimed at ‘mapping out’ prospective lithologies and conductive zones similar to those hosting the INCA uraniferous magnetite discovery made by Reptile and to the stratigraphy hosting Extract Resources’ Rossing South discovery further to the north.
Once interpretation of the data is complete drill testing of geophysical anomalies will be undertaken.

Stage 2 RC drilling on 50 metre spaced sections and 50 metre centres will under-cut the Stage 1 programme holes with a view to evaluating resource potential down to 200 metre vertical depth.
Detail drill results for the Quarter have been released in ASX announcements on the 19, 26 May and 21 July 2009. Summary tables highlighting significant results only are given below.
Bambino Prospect
At the Bambino Prospect (Figure 12) 25 RC holes (BBRC013 to 037) have been drilled in 2009 totalling 2,796 metre. Significant intercepts are given in Table 6. Equivalent U3O8 (eU3O8) values are provided where chemical results (cU3O8) are unavailable. Geological and radiometric logging of the drill holes indicate that mineralisation is hosted by albitite-hematite-magnetite altered amphibolite. The mineralised zone appears to be dipping to the west at about 60 degrees. Elevated values (+400 ppm U3O8) were returned from drilling over 250 metre strike.

Drill Results: The orientated HQ drill core from Thanksgiving and Bambino is providing quality information on the style and intensity of albitite-hematite ± quartz/carbonate alteration associated with uranium mineralisation. Structural information is also being collected with a view to identifying mineralising structures at prospect scale. When the detail logging programme is complete the core will be cut and half-core sent for assay.
The diamond holes have been collared midway between mineralised RC holes. The results from the downhole gamma logging (eU3O8) correlate well with the widths and grades returned from the RC drilling.
Quarter core samples will also be submitted for mineragraphic analysis with a view to identifying the uranium minerals present. Previous work (2008) on RC drill chips identified the principal uranium mineral present as uraninite.

CORPORATE
UNIVERSAL RESOURCES JV – MOUNT ISA
JV documentation has been received from the party’s respective lawyers. It is anticipated that the Agreement will be finalised in the next two weeks.
MATRIX METALS NW QUEENSLAND JV
During the quarter the Company received notice from the Queensland Minister that the transfer of ownership of Ewen (EPM 14916) and Yamamilla (EPM 14281) from Matrix to DYL could go ahead pending ‘completion’ of statutory documentation and assignment of Native Title Agreements. The ‘transfer’ process is well advanced and should be completed in early August. DYL will pay the Receivers of Matrix $1.3 million on transfer of title. (Total consideration for the purchase is $1.4 million).
EXPLORATION BUDGET 2009-2010
At the July Board meeting the Directors approved a 2009-2010 exploration budget of $20 million for Namibia and Australia. Expenditure through to November 2009 will approximate $2 million per month as current operations comprise 7 drill rigs in Namibia and 3 drill rigs in the Mount Isa district. The budget also allows for the move to a scoping study for the INCA/Tubas Red Sand Project.
APPOINTMENT OF MANAGER PROJECTS- NAMIBIA
During the quarter it was announced that Mr Pieter Niemann had been appointed as Manager – Projects (ASX 29 June 2009).
Reporting to DYL and Reptile’s Managing Director Dr Leon Pretorius, Mr Niemann will work closely with Mr Klaus Frielingsdorf (Reptile’s General Manager) to advance the scoping studies and evaluation of the primary INCA uraniferous magnetite and Tubas Red Sand deposits which Mr Frielingsdorf commenced several months ago. Mr Niemann will also be responsible for selection of the consulting engineers to complete the initial scoping study and ongoing liaison with them during the subsequent feasibility studies on these projects.
He will also advance parallel in-house scoping studies on the Tubas-Oryx-Tumas palaeochannel secondary calcrete hosted uranium deposits.
RENEWAL OF EPL’S - NAMIBIA
The Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has extended three EPLs held by Reptile in their entirety for a further two years. These EPLs namely EPL 3496 Tubas, EPL 3497 Tumas and EPL 3499 Ripnes (see Figure 1) came due for renewal on 5 June 2009 after expiration of their first three-year grant period. Application and motivation for their renewal without reduction in area was lodged by Reptile management in March.

Since March any application to the MME for a new EPL or renewal of any existing EPL once processed by the MME has appended to it three new conditions, namely that any funds raised in respect of the EPL be deposited in Namibia; the EPL shall not be issued unless the applicant proves it has allocated certain previously disadvantaged Namibians (Black Economic Empowerment or BEE) shares in the applicant; and, have in place a plan and commitment to empower the nearby community (Broad Based Economic Empowerment or BBEE) once a mineable deposit is found. No percentages or prescribed formula is given.
Reptile, in a proactive approach, met with the Deputy Minister of the MME and other senior officials in February 2009 to discuss BEE and BBEE involvement in its activities once projects had been defined and Mining Licences were applied for.
Reptile then set about formulating a BEE and BBEE Charter which it presented to the MME and subsequently entered into an agreement with local BEE Company Oponona (Pty) LTD whereby it would acquire a 5% interest in any and all projects within the three EPL boundaries upon Reptile applying for a Mining Licence.
The Directors and principals of Oponona, namely Ambassador Monica Nashandi, Dr Ben Mulongeni and Mr Jason Nandago are well respected Namibians with whom Reptile has built a good working relationship.

There is no immediate local community associated with these three EPL areas that could become directly involved in Reptile’s activities, but 40% of Oponona has been set aside for a BBEE Trust that will benefit previously disadvantaged Namibians and specifically assist with educating the youth of the general community closest to Reptile’s activities. Reptile has undertaken to fund the Trust immediately after making its first sales.
The Directors and management of Reptile are very appreciative of the relationship it has built up with the various Ministries it works with in Namibia, and in particular the MME and Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET). Both the MME and MET will be closely involved in Reptile’s requisite permitting processes should the INCA and Red Sand projects prove viable.
UNLISTED OPTIONS
During the quarter, 6,975,000 unlisted options lapsed in accordance with their terms, 975,000 unlisted options were issued to new employees and Dr Pretorius exercised 2,150,000 options.
Further Information: Mr Martin Kavanagh Executive Director Dr Leon Pretorius (61 8) 9286 6999 Managing Director
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 is reported it relates to values attained from radiometrically logging boreholes with Auslog equipment using an A675 – slimline gamma ray tool. The probe has been calibrated at the Adelaide Calibration facility in South Australia 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.
