ASX RELEASE

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

On 16 May 2012 Tellus announced it had acquired 100% of the issued capital of Premier Mining Pty Ltd (Premier). Premier's primary asset is the Chillagoe Gold Project located near the township of Chillagoe.

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.

QUARTERLY REPORT

For the period ending 30 June 2012

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Finalisation of the purchase of the Chillagoe Project

  • Over 30 years of exploration data compiled from hard copy into a coherent digital database

  • Development of robust IRG geological model for mineralisation

  • Mobilisation of field team and setup of field base in Chillagoe

Projects & Exploration

During the June quarter the Company has focused on:

  • validation and compilation of previous drilling into a digital database;

  • creation of a robust geological model to explain the significant gold and gold‐silver intersected by previous explorers;

  • mobilisation of field crews and setup of a field base in Chillagoe; and

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Chillagoe Gold Project, QLD

During the June quarter Tellus executed the Agreement with Premier Minerals Ltd to acquire 100% of its wholly owned subsidiary Premier Mining Pty Ltd (Premier), with significant Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) assets near Chillagoe in North Queensland.

Premier has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellus Resources Ltd. Premier is the 100% holder of the Chillagoe Gold Project consisting of four (4) mining leases covering an area of ~480 hectares and one (1) granted plus four (4) applications for Exploration Permit for Minerals which cover an area of ~14,437 hectares. In addition, during the June quarter, Tellus Resources applied for two (2) adjacent EPMs in the Chillagoe region covering an area of 14,440 hectares.

RC drilling started on the 22nd May 2012, focused on proving up and confirming the previously defined ‘discovery’ intersections from the approximately 30 years of previous drilling.

By the end of the quarter a total of fifteen (15) RC holes for 2,688m were completed at the Chillagoe Gold Project.

Thirteen (13) holes were drilled within the Empire mining lease (ML20380), ten (10) at the Empire Prospect and three (3) at the Pinnacles Prospect.

Two (2) holes were completed at the Bayley’s Prospect within the Mt Wandoo mining lease (ML5130).

All results are expected during the September 2012 quarter.

Database and Validation

Validation of the drillhole database continued throughout the quarter. Seven companies and over 30 years of data was compiled into a coherent digital database.

Going forward, diligent and accurate data collection and validation of the digital database will provide a significant advantage in future interpretation of all the drilling results.

Empire Mining Lease ML20380 ‐ 100%

Ten (10) RC holes were drilled around the margins of the Empire Breccia System, seven (7) following up the previous gold drillhole intercepts, and three (3) following up significant surface quartz veining on the margins of an outcropping intrusion.

Three (3) RC holes for 456m were drilled at Pinnacles, testing a strong soil gold anomaly coincident with the margins of an outcropping intrusion.

Drilling at Empire and Pinnacles has intersected broad zones of strong silica serecite alteration associated with numerous phases of quartz eye and feldspar porphyry dykes and quartz arsenopyrite veining.

The geology intersected in the Tellus drilling at Empire and Pinnacles is consistent with an Intrusive Related Gold geological model.

All samples have been submitted to the laboratory and results are expected during the September 2012 quarter.

Empire Reconnaissance Work

Reconnaissance mapping of the Empire and Wandoo areas took place in conjunction with the RC drilling program.

It was found that outcropping quartz eye feldspar porphyritic intrusions similar to those driving the Red Dome and Mungana mineralisation were more abundant than previously identified.

Previous mapping picked up these porphyry intrusives around the Empire Breccia but not around Pinnacles.

At Pinnacles the reconnaissance mapping quickly identified a porphyry intrusion with a large serecite alteration (phyllic) halo, previously the whole area was mapped as breccia. Phyllic alteration is common around the margins of a fertile intrusion.

The phyllic alteration around the porphyry intrusion coincided with a relative depletion in the gold soil anomalism (Figure 3). This in turn explained the distribution of gold in soil at Pinnacles. The soil anomaly is separated into two areas, one large semicircular anomaly on the margins of the phyllic alteration and one more discrete gold anomaly associated with the outcropping porphyry.

The eastern side of the porphyry is in contact with a granite, which is strongly serecite altered, on the western side the porphyry is in contact with the breccia. The breccia is biotite and chlorite altered with rare copper staining and boxwork, interpreted to be weathering after disseminated sulphides.

Three holes were drilled into the margins of the intrusive from different angles to test for contact mineralisation.

Results of these holes are expected in the September 2012 quarter.

Wandoo Mining Leases ML5130, ML20381 and ML20234

Drilling at Wandoo continued into the September quarter.

Two (2) RC were drilled at Wandoo during the quarter following up previous explorers gold‐silver intersections at Bayley’s.

Drilling at Bayley’s in the June quarter intersected broad zones of intense silica serecite with discrete zones of strong quartz arsenopyrite veining. The quartz arsenopyrite veining is flanked by zones of weak disseminated sphalerite.

The geology intersected in the Tellus drilling at Wandoo is consistent with the upper parts of an Intrusive Related Gold system. All samples have been submitted to the laboratory and results are expected in the September 2012 quarter.

Wandoo Reconnaissance Work

Reconnaissance mapping around Wandoo increased the understanding of the mineralisation.

Structure plays an important role in the location, width and strike of the mineralisation. Hardman’s Lode is reasonably well defined running east‐west where as the broader soil gold anomalism displays a more north‐west south‐east strike.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

==> picture [170 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Mapping of the workings and the known structures suggests that the mineralisation at Hardman’s is a dilational structure near perpendicular to the main north‐south to north‐west orientation for the main mineralised structure.

Interpretation of the mapping suggests this mineralised structure links all the historic workings from Reid’s to Bayley’s and has a potential strike length of at least 350m (Figure 5).

Geophysics

During the quarter an open file detailed airborne magnetics dataset was obtained and processed. The data was collected over previous EPMs which have since lapsed and also cover the area outside of the EPMs to the east near Mungana and Red Dome.

The magnetic highs appear in correlation with the Late Carboniferous intrusives from the government geological mapping. The driving intrusions at Red Dome and Mungana have been dated as Late Carboniferous. Interpretation of the results of the detailed magnetics suggest that the deep seated magnetic features below Wandoo is likely to be related to one or more Late Carboniferous intrusive(s).
