ASX RELEASE

QUARTERLY REPORT SEPTEMBER 2012

HIGHLIGHTS

Tellus Resources Ltd is an Australian‐based mineral exploration company.

On 16 May 2012 Tellus announced it had purchased the Chillagoe Gold Project from Premier Mining Pty Ltd.

The Chillagoe Gold Project includes Exploration Permits covering a combined area of ~28,878 hectares plus Mining Leases covering a combined area of approx. 480 hectares, including the Wandoo & Empire prospects.

In addition Tellus has a large tenement package in regional New South Wales prospective for Intrusive Related Gold Deposits (IRG).

A key part of the Company's strategy is to actively pursue the acquisition of, and/or participation in additional advanced resource projects.

Directors/Officers:

Anthony Wehby Stephen Woodham Richard Willson Ben Salmon Anne Adaley

Issued Shares and Options:

44,380,555 shares 11,000,000 unlisted options

Projects & Exploration

  • 330m of RC drilling at Chillagoe during the September quarter completing a total of 3,018m

  • Empire

    • 24m @ 0.70g/t Au from 112m to end of hole
  • Wandoo

    • 38m @ 0.55g/t AuEq from 27m

    • 11m @ 0.97g/t AuEq from 28m

    • 17m @ 0.65g/t AuEq

  • IRG model for the mineralisation confirmed

  • New Chillagoe EPM Application

  • Adjacent to Red Dome Mining Leases

  • Continuous with existing title

CHILLAGOE GOLD PROJECT, QLD (TLU 100%)

During the quarter a 3,018m RC drilling program was completed within the Empire and Wandoo Mining Leases (ML20380, ML5130 and ML20381).

Final assays were received for the RC drilling program during the quarter. Many of the holes intersected significant gold mineralisation associated with porphyritic intrusives, abundant arsenopyrite, quartz veining and phyllic (serecite) alteration consistent with an Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) mineral system reported in ASX Release dated 17 August 2012.

Shallow gold mineralisation intersected in Empire hole TLU007 is significant as the gold grades are increasing with depth. The best grades are related to contact with porphyry intrusives similar to those seen at Red Dome and Mungana nearby.

Red Dome gold mineralisation has been proven to extend to a depth of over one kilometre. Red Dome and Mungana have a reported gold resource of 2.7 million ounces of gold and 34 million ounces of silver.

A tenement application (EPM19803) was made on 1 August 2012 further consolidating the tenement position at Chillagoe. The Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) is contiguous with the existing EPMs and has a boundary of the Red Dome and Mungana mining leases.

Two of the Chillagoe EPMs were granted during the quarter with historic rockchip gold values up to 10.89g/t.

No exploration was completed on the NSW Projects in the September quarter.

Empire (ML20380)

Drilling within the Empire Mining Lease (ML20380) intersected significant primary gold mineralisation immediately below previously defined oxide intersections in hole TLU007.

TLU007 terminated at 136m due to difficult drilling conditions. The bottom 32m of the hole had an average gold grade of 0.51g/t using a 0.1g/t cut‐off. The gold grades are open and increasing with depth ( 8m @ 1.21g/t Au from 128m to the end of hole using a 0.90g/t cut‐off). The gold appears to be associated with a distinctive aplitic quartz eye porphyry, interpreted to be the causative intrusion.

Wandoo (ML5130, ML20381, ML20234)

330m of RC drilling was completed within the Wandoo mining lease during the quarter, with all of the assay results received.

The gold and silver mineralisation occurs in quartz arsenopyrite veins with a halo of intense phyllic alteration and disseminated sphalerite (zinc), the mineralisation and alteration correlates well between holes at Bayley’s, Wendy’s and Reid’s.

Surface mapping of the workings suggest the mineralisation may have a strike of at least 350m.

Tenement Consolidation

Two EPM applications progressed to grant during the quarter, EPM18397 and EPM18398 (Figure 3 green hatching). One EPM application occurred during the September quarter EPM19803.

EPM19803 (Figure 3 blue hatching) has a common boundary with the Red Dome Mungana mining leases (Figure 3 solid green).

Compilation of previous exploration rockchip data highlights the potential of the newly granted EPMs with gold values up to 10.89g/t. One sample within EPM18398 returned values of 7.9g/t gold, 360g/t silver and 5.01% lead.

OUTLOOK

Results from the RC drilling program undertaken during the quarter are positive and highlight the significant potential for an economic gold deposit within the Chillagoe Mining Leases. Review and assessment of the RC drilling program will guide future exploration campaigns.

During the next quarter the Company will continue to assess the opportunities within its NSW assets with a view to maximising value from those holdings. In addition the Company is pursuing an active program to identify and evaluate new opportunities to enhance its portfolio of assets.
