Issued Shares and Options:
26,150,000 shares 6,000,000 unlisted options
ELA4293, applied for in May 2011, was granted to Tellus on the 19th of December 2011 for a two year period. EL7874 (250km²) covers the whole of the Upper Hunter Goldfield and surrounds.
The Upper Hunter Goldfield has 65 known hard rock historic workings oriented north‐south extending over 20 kilometres, operated in the late 1800’s.
Only two of the 65 hard rock workings have received some level of exploration. These were the Royal Standard and Mountaineer mines.
Twelve samples were collected from underground veins within the Royal Standard and Mountaineer of which seven returned gold grades greater than 5 g/t.
The highlight of the sampling program saw one underground face sample return 1045 g/t gold. Other underground sample results included 33.8, 15.6 and 10.8 g/t gold. None of these veins have ever been drilled.
Recent interpretation suggests the geology bears close similarity to Donlin Creek in Alaska, at >30 million ounces, one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in the world.

Figure 2 – Chillagoe Gold Project Location.
Within the Mining Lease are the Empire and Wandoo prospect areas. Both these prospects are associated with classic breccia pipe and IRG complexes and display features typical of the nearby multi‐million ounce deposits at Kidston, Red Dome and Mungana.
Advanced exploration has already been completed with more than 14,000 metres drilled to date with strong mineralisation evident from surface, an open depth extent and is highly prospective down to at least 1000 metres.
