Marmota’s ground EM identifies multiple targets for testing in upcoming Phase 3 drilling at Junction Dam – South Australia

Multiple targets defined for testing within the 5 km long ‘Bridget’ prospect at the Junction Dam uranium project. Marmota Energy Limited ACN: 119 270 816Marmota set to further increase its ownership interest in the ASX: MEU uranium rights at Junction Dam. Exploration Office: Unit I, 5 Butler Blvd Junction Dam uranium project Burbridge Business Park, SA 5950 (On Junction Dam, Marmota 74.5% of uranium under JV Agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd (Teck), PlatSearch NL (ASX: PTS) and Eaglehawk Geological Consulting Pty Ltd) P: +61 8 8375 4300 Marmota Energy Limited (ASX: ‘’MEU’’) has completed additional ground F: +61 8 8375 3999 electromagnetic (EM) surveys at Junction Dam in preparation for Phase 3 drilling planned to commence shortly. E: [email protected] The ground EM survey was completed over the 5km long ‘Bridget’ prospect W: www.marmotaenergy.com.au immediately to the north of the ‘Saffron’ prospect (Figure 1). Ground EM data played a significant role in drill target vectoring processes over Saffron where high grades of uranium have been intercepted by Marmota.

Multiple strong conductive zones have been mapped by the new EM survey, defining this part of the Yarramba Palaeochannel, which also hosts the nearby Honeymoon development. The EM data from the recently completed survey compares favorably to EM data previously acquired over the adjoining Saffron prospect. EM signatures returned from the depth of uranium mineralisation at the Saffron prospect are interpreted to be the same as at the Bridget prospect (Figure 2). This is considered very encouraging for significantly increasing the size of the current zone of mineralisation.

About the Junction Dam uranium project

The Saffron uranium prospect on Junction Dam was discovered by Marmota Energy in late 2009.

The project is strategically located less than an hour drive from the major regional centre of Broken Hill (Figure 3), and is approximately twelve kilometres from the soon to be commissioned Honeymoon uranium mine. Marmota has earned a 74.5% interest in the uranium rights on this highly prospective project.

Drilling completed in the 2010 Phase 2 program confirmed an extension to the strike length of the Saffron prospect to approximately two kilometres , open to the north and south. Uranium mineralisation at Junction Dam is predominantly contained in uraninite, coffinite, and uranium phosphate minerals, suggesting amenability to in-situ leach extraction.

Further drilling is planned at the Saffron and adjoining larger Bridget prospect over coming months.

From the results achieved to date, Marmota believes there is significant potential for further extension to the Saffron prospect and the discovery of additional zones of uranium on Junction Dam.
