ASX Announcement 21 November 2013

Initial Assay Results From Spencer Project

  • Textures and alteration of diamond core from Spencer shows strong similarity to geology reported throughout other Iron-Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) targets throughout the Olympic Dam trend

  • Multi-element assay suite now under technical review to assist in vectoring towards potential high grade targets

  • All new data from drilling program i.e. geology, geochemistry and geophysics to be amalgamated to vector in to potential mineralization

  • A number of geophysical targets remain open from the first pass program due to timing and logistical constraints

ACN: 051 212 429 Suite 905, 530 Little Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia, 3000 Telephone: (03) 9909 7078 Facsimile: (03) 9909 7070 www.strategicenergy.com.au

Strategic Energy Resources Limited (ASX:SER) as Operator of the ‘Spencer Joint Venture’ (SER 75% and Kingston Resources Ltd (ASX:KSN) 25%) announces the following exploration update.

The exploration program commenced in August 2013, a total of ten holes were drilled, 6 reverse circulation (RC) holes were completed with a further 4 RC pre collar holes completed for 3,608m of drilling (See Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Appendix 2 for location and details of the drill holes). The four RC pre-collar holes were drilled to allow a cheaper and faster drilling method to approach geophysical anomalies at depth and were designated to have diamond tails. Three of the RC pre collar holes (SPRCD001, SPRCD002 and SPRCD004) were ultimately diamond drilled for a total of 1,113.9m, leading to a combined total of 4,721.9m. The remaining RC pre collar hole (SPRCD003) will undergo diamond drilling pending the outcome of further technical analysis.

All northern holes (SPRC001 through to SPRC006) remained within overlying Adelaidian sediments which are not known geological hosts of the IOCG style mineralization. As such these RC holes were not sent for laboratory analysis. Furthermore, the RC components of SPRCD001, SPRCD002 SPRCD003 and SPRCD004 were not sent for analysis as the RC component was completed in lower end geophysical anomalism. The diamond core drilling passed through the geophysical high and was sent for analysis.

With the completion of the diamond core logging program the geological evaluation of the core shows that there are a number of intensely altered and brecciated zones within the Hiltaba Granite Suite. Brecciation of varying intensities both pre and post the numerous generations of veining containing quartz, quartz carbonate, quartz hematite and hematite show that the Hiltaba has undergone a complex structural history. It is this brecciation and alteration that show a strong similarity to photographic evidence contained within technical work completed on IOCG style deposits throughout the Olympic Dam Trend.

SER in consultation with consultant geologists decided to utilize a multi-element suite for the assaying of the diamond cores (for the full list of assayed elements and technique used see 'Explanation of Sampling techniques' in Appendix 1). Assays reported in Table 1 cover Au, Ag, U, and Cu which are typical of IOCG style mineralization. The remaining 47 elements fall outside this mineralization style and will be utilized for vectoring purposes and hence have not been reported.

Whilst the textural evidence indicates that there is a complex history to the geology encountered in the drilling it is hoped that the use of multi-element assaying including the analysis of trace elements will assist in vectoring in on the high grade potential of the initial targets either by the extension of current holes or the planning of additional holes within the Hiltaba Granite Suite.

A strong focus for now will be the amalgamation of all data sets. Technical analysis of not only the geology but the geochemistry will be fed back to the geophysical modelling team. This will allow the refinement of current targets and the possible identification of additional targets for the next round of drilling. SER still has a number of targets which it was unable to drill during the August program due mainly to timing and logistic constraints. These targets will also be the focus of any follow up program.

The notable results from the drilling programme are summarised in Table 1 below. Whilst assay results presented in Table 1 show the low grade nature of the results, the history of IOCG discoveries in South Australia indicates persistence through several drilling programs is required to make a discovery. SER and its Joint Venture partner KSN remain focused on discovery of potential IOCG mineralizing systems within the Spencer project. The joint ventures work was an initial exploration program representing the first significant drilling in the region. The company remains confident that the forward program utilizing SER’s expertise in conjunction with IOCG consultants will allow us to evaluate the current undeveloped targets and potentially define new targets through the vast amount of data acquired through this initial work.

utilizing a RC pre collar with a bit size of 5 ¼ " bit with the NQ2 tails. Diamond
holes were surveyed using a Reflex Downhole Camera and surveyed
approximatelyevery50m
Drill Sample Recovery Core recoveries were recorded in relation to the sampling sheet and core
loss/cavities recorded for each sample. Total core recovery was over 98%. Where
core loss exceeded 1m the sample was recorded as sample not received.
Logging Core logging was undertaken to <10cm. Samples were selected based on metre
intervals due to the macro homogeneous nature of the diamond core. All core
wasphotographed at ALS
Sub_sample Techniques
and sample Preparation
All core was half core sampled. Core cutting took place at ALS's Adelaide facilities
with cut sheets,meter marks and cut linesprovided bySER Geologists

All drill holes occurred within the EL 51010 (Spencer) the tenement is currently
owned by U Energy Pty Ltd (25%); Strategic Energy Resources Limited (75%). The
project is operated bySER.
Exploration Done by other
parties.
A total of 10 historic holes appear on the SARIG database of which the maximum
depth is approximately450m
Geology The tenement is dominated by Adelaidian Aged Sedimentary cover including the
Tregolana Shales and the Mesoproterozoic Pandurra formation. These
sedimentaryhorizons overlaythe Hiltaba Granite Suite basement
Drill hole Information See Appendix 2
Data aggregation methods All assays reported above show cut off grades and have maximum internal
dilution of 1m. All intersection are 1m intersection down hole unless stated
(where multiple meters of significant mineralization have been encountered the
grades are averaged for the intersection).
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths
Down hole widths of mineralization are currently not known. This is due to the
large spacing of drill holes and the sparseness of mineralization encountered.
Diagrams Please see Figures above
Balanced Reporting Reporting of results in this announcement is considered to be balanced
Other substantive
exploration data
EL 5010 has a total of 10 previous holes ranging in depth from 140m through to
456.70m There is no indication from historic drilling that the Hiltaba Granite was
intersected.
Further Work Amalgamation of all data sets predominantly based around the use of
geochemistry in conjunction with industry based consultants to target potential
mineralization within the exploration lease.
