ODYSSEY TO ACQUIRE AND SPIN OUT PILBARA GOLD PROJECT

Odyssey Energy Limited (proposed to be renamed ‘Odyssey Gold Limited’) (ASX: ODY) (“Odyssey” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Peregrine Gold Limited (“ Peregrine ”) has entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Pilbara Gold Exploration Pty Ltd, which owns (or has the rights to) a suite of gold prospective tenements in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (“ Pilbara Gold Project ”).

Odyssey’s current focus is on its recently announced acquisitions of the Tuckanarra and Stakewell Gold Projects in the Murchison region of Western Australia. As such, the Company will acquire and spin out the Pilbara Gold Project through Peregrine, which will seek to list via an initial public offering (“ IPO ”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”).

  • Strategic acquisition of three granted exploration licences and four exploration license applications totalling 636km[2] located in the Sylvania Inlier near Capricorn Metals Limited’s Karlawinda Gold Project in the Pilbara region;

  • Mr George Merhi, one of the founders of the Pilbara Gold Project, to be appointed as a Technical Director of Peregrine, subject to the completion of the transaction. Mr Merhi is a geologist with over 35 years’ of extensive experience and knowledge spent working in the Pilbara region, including the role of exploration manager for the Creasy Group;

  • Under-explored prospective granite-greenstones terrane with minimal gold exploration conducted to date;

  • Historic surface sampling (soil and stream sediments) across the tenements has also identified gold anomalism within the area with little follow up;

  • Close proximity to key infrastructure and mining support services, strategically located 40km south of Newman;

  • The Company intends to amend the terms of its previously announced capital return (“ Capital Return ”). Subject to shareholder approval, the Company proposes to conduct an equal capital return to existing shareholders equivalent to A$0.02 per share (approximately $6,550,610), via a cash distribution of $0.01 per share (“ Cash Distribution” ) and a pro rata in-specie distribution, equating to $0.01 per share, of shares in Peregrine (“ Share Distribution” ); and

  • Following shareholder approval of the Capital Return, Peregrine will hold $3.3 million in cash with 24.9 million shares on issue. Peregrine intends to raise a further $2.0 million (before costs) through its IPO of 10.0 million shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share.

Pilbara Gold Project

The Pilbara Gold Project consists of seven exploration licences (three granted, four applications) covering a total of 636km[2] located on the Sylvania Inlier in the south west of the prolific Pilbara region situated approximately 30km south of Newman and approximately 1,000km north-north east of Perth at the southern edge of the Hammersley area of Western Australia (Figure 1). The tenements are neighbouring Capricorn Metal Limited’s (“ Capricorn ”) Karlawinda Gold Project (“ Karlawinda ”) and are along trend of gold bearing anomalies consistent with those at Karlawinda.

The tenement package comprises a number of early stage tenements prospective for gold that historically have been underexplored and/or have had a focus on other metals such as iron ore. The Company considers that the tenements contain a number of anomalies that have been largely overlooked and warrant further investigation.

Figure 1: Location of Pilbara Gold Project tenements.

Exploration History and Historical Production

The focus of previous exploration on the tenements and throughout the Pilbara dating back to the 1960’s has been predominately for iron ore and to a lesser extent, base metals utilising geophysical surveys, surface geochemical sampling and minimal drilling. There has been minimal exploration on the portfolio of tenements over the past decade with activities undertaken focusing on rock chip sampling, data compilation and desktop studies.

Deadman Flats in the southernmost area of the tenements which is host to a known in-situ gold occurrence has seen a number of early stage exploration programs however results remain to be followed up.

There has been no historical production on the tenements.

==> picture [167 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Local Geology and Mineralisation

The tenements partially overlap the southeast corner of the Pilbara Craton with Archaean granite and minor greenstone exposed in the Sylvania Inlier. The northern margin of this terrane is in tectonic contact with the Fortescue and Hamersley Groups that lie within the Hamersley Basin. In the south it is unconformably overlain by the Bresnahan and Bangemall basins that form the Bangemall Group. Gold deposits of significant scale occur in a variety of spatial and temporal settings.

The assembly of the Archaean to Proterozoic rock between the Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons is referred to as the Capricorn Orogen. Approximately 1,000km long and 500km wide, the damage zone of this orogen records this punctuated Proterozoic construction. It includes the deformed margins of these cratons as well as the continental margin rocks such as the Hamersley Basin, metaigneous and metasedimentary rocks of the Gascoyne Complex and numerous low-grade sedimentary rocks such as the Bresnahan Basin.

Throughout the region there are numerous gold, basemetal and rare earth element occurrences. Deposits of significance are observed within the boundaries of the Capricorn Orogen which include the nearby Bibra, Paulsons/Whyloo Dome, Plutonic, Ashburton Project and the DeGrussa coppergold-silver deposit.

Planned Exploration

Work planned to develop the targeting profile for the Pilbara Gold Project in the near term will include;

  • Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling in conjunction with soil and rock chip sampling across all tenements;

  • focussing on all known greenstones and identifying additional greenstones and epithermal occurrences;

  • focusing on magnetic targets;

  • targeting silicified sandstone outcrop and testing persistence of sandstone unit along strike;

  • targeting basal sedimentary units; and

  • If warranted, shallow air-core drilling on known areas of mineralisation.

Detailed information on Peregrine, the offer of securities under the IPO, the capital structure and an indicative timetable will be included in a prospectus that will be made available after lodgement with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ ASIC ”). Investors should consider the prospectus (when available) in deciding whether to acquire Peregrine securities. Applications for Peregrine’s securities can only be made by completing the application form which will accompany the prospectus.

If the conditions of the Public Offer are not satisfied, or Peregrine does not receive conditional approval for admission on the ASX on terms which the Board reasonably believes are capable of satisfaction, then the Company will not proceed with the IPO and will repay all application monies received (without interest).

Capital Structure

Data
aggregation

minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Not applicable – no drilling results reported.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
