ASX ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

28th November 2013

NEAR SURFACE SULPHIDES COINCIDENT WITH HIGH CHARGEABILITY.

Elysium Resources Limited (“Elysium” or "Company") (ASX:EYM) is pleased to provide an update for the ongoing Induced Polarisation (IP) survey over the historical Lloyd’s Mine area.

Highlights

  • Pole-dipole IP survey completed south of Lloyds and now progresses towards historical mine.

  • Strong chargeability highs identified directly south of Lloyds and to the south-east.

  • Acquisition of hand-held drilling equipment to core-drill up to 30m depths.

  • Chalcopyrite, covellite and galena identified from 2m depths over eastern chargeability high.

The Company acquired a hand-held diamond core drilling rig to test soil and geophysics targets. The rig is man-portable and can be mobilised to areas without vehicle access or site preparation, avoiding disturbance of the natural environment. With depths up to 30m capable, this gives the Company the ability to quickly assess soil and geophysics targets prior to deciding whether track or truck mounted rigs are warranted and then, where best to locate the drilling. Although the diameter of the core is small (20mm) compared to more commonly accepted NQ (~48mm) or HQ (~64mm) diameters, core recovery has proven to be excellent and the Company's geologists are confident that a high quality sample can be retrieved.

Upon acquisition the hand-held rig was promptly deployed to the eastern high chargeability being defined by the IP survey ongoing since mid-October. Drilling near section 8000N revealed visible sulphides throughout the core, disseminated pyrite and pyrrotite throughout the core was accompanied by copper (chalcopyrite and covellite) and lead (galena) bearing sulphides from a 2m depth (see Figure #3); the hole was terminated upon drilling of a quartz vein at 4.8m depth. Several holes have now been drilled and will shortly be sent in for assaying.

The chargeability high sits within the previously identified airborne EM trend, varies up to 200m in width, is approximately 100m below natural surface and has been mapped for in excess of 1.2km in the NE direction during this current survey. Limited historical drilling on this trend appears to have been "wild cat" targeted due to the broad nature of the airborne EM, the generally poor and wide spaced soil geochemistry, in rough terrain. The recent drilling has confirmed the presence of copper and lead bearing sulphides below the soil geochemistry and with the greater resolution provided by the IP survey, a more focussed approach to drill targeting will be possible.

Drilling during the late 1900's around historically mined areas south of Lloyd's conforms with the chargeability high on the western side of the survey. The surface soil sampling program during 2013 results in a strong base metals anomaly over the area. Significant data now is available to dial in on drill-ready targets. The Company is targeting, on both the north trending western, and NE trending eastern chargeability highs, VMS style Lloyds repeats. Lloyds was mined in late 1800's and early 1900s where the average copper grade recovered over the period was reported at greater than 4% copper. The Company will wind down the IP survey prior to the holiday period at which point the data will be assessed with the expectation that a drilling campaign will be outlined over the surveyed area.
