ASX ANNOUNCEMENT DRILLING UPDATE #19 – AGBAJA IRON ORE EXPLORATION PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
-
Analytical results from a further 25 reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes have been received and are consistent with the profile from previous results reported under the current RC drill program.
-
Of the 25 RC holes, 15 holes returned shallow, high grade iron mineralisation (average 42-49% iron) over widths of 13 to 22 metres. Grades of up to 55% iron were returned on individual samples.
Australian based iron ore exploration and development company, Energio Limited (ASX: EIO) (“Energio” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the nineteenth batch of assay results from the 2011/2012 drilling campaign at its Agbaja Iron Ore Exploration Project, located in Nigeria, West Africa.
The locations of the 25 holes for which analyses are reported are included within Figure 1 and significant intersections are summarised in Table A.
The detailed tables attached show the results of the XRF analysis of the typical elements for iron analyses for:
Drill Line 10, Holes 10, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33 and 34 Drill Line 13, Holes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 24 Drill Line 14EX Hole 1 Drill Line 15EX Hole 1 Drill Line 22 N Holes 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 Drill Line 23 N Holes 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The Company has now released the results from 401 drill holes.
Energio plans to issue a maiden JORC resource in September 2012.

About Energio Limited
Energio Limited ( ASX: EIO ) (“ Energio ”) is an ASX listed company focused on the exploration and development of the Agbaja Iron Ore Project (“ Project ”) in Nigeria.
On 29 February 2012, Energio completed the purchase of 100% of the fully paid ordinary shares in Australian company, KCM Mining Holdings Pty Ltd and Nigerian company, KCM Mining Limited, thereby providing Energio 100% ownership and control of the Project.
The granted licence areas for exploration total 384 km[2 ] and are situated in Kogi State, which is part of the central region of Nigeria. In addition to this, the Project is located some 2 hours’ drive south of Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, providing the Project excellent logistical benefits including access to various equipment and service providers.
Close proximity of the Project to existing rail infrastructure also provides potential advantages in reduced capital expenditure and project development schedule.
Energio has recently commenced metallurgical test work and infrastructure reviews as part of its overall study development program for the Project.
Energio is currently undertaking a 740 hole reverse circulation and diamond drill program at the Project with the objective of defining a maiden JORC Mineral Resource by Q3 2012.
