Competent Person 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 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.

Mount Isa District -2009
The primary objective of the current focussed drilling is to delineate JORC Code mineral resources at various prospects in the Mount Isa district where DYL is targeting wide intercepts of ± 400 ppm U3O8 that are continuous to depth and which it believes is required to sustain a viable open-pit mining operation. Exploration Spend ~$10 million over 4 field seasons
