ASX Release

22[nd] April 2013

VTEM Geophysical contract awarded for Arizona VMS project

United States focused explorer Australian-American Mining Corporation Limited (ASX: AIW) (“AusAmerican” or “the company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with Geotech Ltd (“Geotech”) to undertake a VTEM geophysical survey at the Blue Bell and De Soto VMS projects. Geotech are a Canadian based company and are recognised as one of the world leaders in geophysical surveys.

The purpose of the VTEM survey is to identify anomalies at both Blue Bell and De Soto and the prospective, but until now unexplored Gap area, which runs 5km between the two projects. Of the seven high grade lenses that were mined at Blue Bell, only one outcropped, so the company is hopeful that undiscovered lenses exist in the area of the old mines as well as in the Gap.

The company expects the program to commence in late April / early May. Interpretation and results of the geophysical survey should be available in late May.

The company has just completed its maiden drilling campaign at Blue Bell. A total of approximately 5,000 metres of RC drilling was completed for 26 holes. Assay results from 12 of the holes have been received to date with 11 of the 12 holes returning encouraging mineralisation (See table 1). The company expects the results from the remaining 14 holes to become available in the next 4 weeks.

Sincerely,

Richard Holmes Managing Director

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this document that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Richard Holmes, Managing Director, AusAmerican Mining who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Holmes is a full-time employee of AusAmerican Mining and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity which has been undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the “Australian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Holmes consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.

*Copper Equivalent Calculation

Copper Equivalent (CuEq) represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed as equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results and no allowance is made for recovery losses should mining eventually occur. However it is the company’s opinion that the elements considered here have reasonable potential to be recovered as evidenced by production records from previous mining activity at the project and comparable in the region.
