ASX ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

03[rd] September 2014
Geophysics Defines Priority Intrusive Targets.
Elysium Resources Limited (“Elysium” or "Company") (ASX:EYM) is pleased to present the results from the completed Induced Polarisation (“IP”) survey over the historical Lloyd’s Mine general area and Aeromagnetic (“MAG”) survey over the Company’s NSW tenements, EL6463, EL687 and EL7975.
Highlights:
-
Mineralization potential at 30 targets identified
-
Drill-ready targets at 8 locations away from the known mineralization at Lloyds
-
High priority, drill-ready potential intrusive targets identified at 3 locations
-
Planning for drill program underway.
As announced 3[rd] October 2013, an east-west oriented pole-dipole IP survey was commenced approximately 2km south of the historic Lloyds Mine. By the Christmas holiday period more than half of the planned 1-2km lines were completed and the survey had reached the Lloyds Mine area. As announced 24[th] April 2014, the survey was recommenced and completed 2km to the north of Lloyds beyond the historical North and Howards Shafts (see Figures #5 and #6 for IP coverage). As announced on April 23[rd] 2014, a MAG survey was flown over the Company’s 3 contiguous tenements in NSW. The survey was flown with 60m line spacing at a nominal terrain clearance of 60m. With the surveys now completed, preliminary findings show numerous targets in EL6463 and single anomalies on the peripheries of the Burraga Granite in both EL6874 and EL7975.
A cluster of 3 high priority targets are defined 0.5 to 1.5km to the south of the historic Lloyds Mine (see Figures #5 and #6). The central potassium anomaly is located in a structural corridor and presents as a potential intrusion. The Priority 1 target directly to the south-east is a remanently magnetised potassium anomaly and the cross-cutting structures to the north could provide potential fluid traps for the suspected central intrusion. These interpretations are further supported by previously reported strong soil geochemistry over this area. The Company intends commencement of drilling in this area by October, details of this drill program will be announced shortly.
The Priority 2 target that extends from Lloyds in the NE direction is interpreted as a cross-cutting structure possibly providing a trap for fluids from the suspected intrusion to the south (see paragraph above), suggesting possibly that Lloyds itself is a surface expression of a concealed system as reported previously on numerous occasions (see Figure #4). Three further Priority 2 targets further north are possibly porphyries and / or display as cross-cutting remanently magnetised features, that coincide with the historical North and Howards shafts. Two IP targets, lie intermittent to these (coinciding to magnetic highs), one directly to the north of Lloyds and one directly beneath the southern slag dump. The Company intends to drill the Priority 2 targets at Lloyds and directly to the north of Lloyds including below the southern slag dump in the kick-off drill program planned for October.

Priority 3 targets generally conform to the NE trending IP anomaly and require additional field work before drilling is proposed. Soil sampling is planned for these areas during the remainder of the 2014.

The group of Priority 4 targets to the north of EL6463 may relate to the gold deposits at Lucky Draw and Hackneys Creek. Structurally they appear related to the major NNW faulting corridor previously inferred as the southern extension of the Godolphin Fault which hosts the 2.5Moz[1] McPhillamy’s Gold Deposit some 50km to the NW (see Figure #3).
In EL6874 a remanently magnetised anomaly within the Burraga Granite requires field investigation, as does a magnetic high on the SE periphery of the granite in EL7975. Mapping and soil sampling is being planned for these areas to investigate whether drilling is warranted.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. |
• EL6463, EL6874, EL7975 • ~60km S of Oberon in NSW. • EYM through a subsidiary holds 100% |
| • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the area. |
• Tenements are in good standing. |
|
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Various operators have held tenure over the area; Getty Oil, Dominion and Republic Gold NL have carried out the majority of the most recent work and upon which EYM has based its exploration programs. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralization. |
• Within EL6463 copper – gold – silver +/- zinc +/- lead mineralisation is generally restricted to the Lloyds corridor, although localised anomalous base metal values also occur in the Mossgrove North prospect. The mineralisation is best developed in the Hanrahan’s Agglomerate but also occurs in the upper part of the Excelsior Porphyry. At Lloyds mine copper mineralisation occurs as two quartz – sulphide veins, although most production was from the main vein. The predominant sulphide mineral in the veins was chalcopyrite with sphalerite on the vein walls and pyrrhotite disseminated in the wall rocks. Galena and tetrahedrite were also reported, but not at economically important levels. Disseminate base metal mineralisation was reported as forming a halo to the veins. The main vein varied in width from 0.3m to 12 m, striking roughly east - west and dipping moderately north. The main vein has a typical strike extent of 180m, terminating in faults at both ends. The intersection of the terminating faults with the vein results in the ore plunging to the northeast. |
| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. |
• N/A – no drilling undertaken |
| • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
||
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
• N/A – no drilling undertaken |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
• | |
| • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
||
| Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
• N/A – mineralized widths not reported |
| • If the geometry of the mineralization 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
||
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
|
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• N/A – grades not reported |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• The Company’s previous ASX releases have detailed exploration works including historical drilling, geological mapping, soil sampling, results from previous ground and airborne geophysical surveys. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
• Drilling at targets deemed drill-ready • Further soil sampling and mapping at targets identified as not yet drill-ready • Further interrogation of geophysical data. |
| • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
• Appropriate figures included in body of announcement of both survey data and interpreted data. |
