Further Drill Results Confirm High Grade Silver Zones and Identifies New Mineralisation Structure at Conjecture Silver Project in Idaho

• 715g/t Ag and Ag equivalent intercept over 1.38m (depth of 101m)

• 363g/t Ag and Ag equivalent intercept over 3.91m (depth of 38m)

• 340g/t Ag and Ag equivalent intercept over 0.73m (depth of 17m)

• 157g/t Ag and Ag equivalent intercept over 3.04m (depth of 40m)

• Further high grade intercepts from additional four holes highlight the potential scale of Conjecture

• Results confirm the presence of historic ore blocks outlined in 1981 reserve report

• New mineralisation structure also identified with high grades close to surface on Conjecture Shear Zone

• Further anomaly targets identified by geophysical work program for further test work

• Management team strengthened with the appointment of Shannon Robinson as Executive Director

Black Mountain Resources Limited (ASX | AIM: BMZ) (the “Company”), the silver focused development company with interests in the US, is pleased to announce positive assay results from a further six holes and initial results from geophysical work at its maiden drill program at the Conjecture Silver Project in the prolific Lakeview Mining District in Idaho.

Conjecture Silver Project

The Company recently completed a 16 hole diamond core drill program (1,800m) at the previously producing mine. The drilling was undertaken from 3 drill pad locations, Drill Pad 1, Drill Pad 2 and the Rainbow Pad, each location drilled into the hanging wall through the vein structure into the footwall material. The vein structures encountered showed mineralisation and the assays results returned have confirmed high concentrations of silver with gold that correspond with historical values of mineralisation and correlate to mapping and underground structures seen in the historical Conjecture workings. The decision was made to extend the program from 10 holes to 16 due to positive results from drilling undertaken at the Rainbow Pad, where shallow mineralisation was intercepted in an area previously untested.

The program, which was the first exploration drilling undertaken at the Conjecture Silver Project since the 1980’s, successfully confirmed the grades and the presence of historic mining blocks identified by previous sampling, exploration and mining undertaken at the property. Significantly, each hole drilled encountered mineralisation structures, although some of the samples are still being processed with final assay results anticipated to be available in the next fortnight. This new data, combined with the wealth of historic reports and information, will be integral to the Company as it focusses on the successful development of the project with an objective of achieving first production in Q1 2013.

Holes 1-7 targeted the historic “31” mining block, where high grade silver mineralisation was delineated in the early 1980s. This is depicted on Diagram 1 as the ore shoot from the Spider Adit. The assay results from holes 1 and 2 (Drill Pad 1) are set out below together with the results from holes 4 to 6 (Drill Pad 2), previously announced on 24 August 2012.

These results are consistent with the historic data for mining block 31 identified in the 1981 Reserve Report on the Conjecture Silver Project which estimated the block to contain 50,000 – 60,000 tons[1] of silver at an estimated grade of 350 – 375 grams Ag per ton[1] .

A further 8 holes were then drilled from the Rainbow Pad targeting the Conjecture Shear Zone, an area which has not previously been explored or tested to the east of the historic ore shoot, as depicted on Diagram 1. The mineralised structure identified by results from holes 8 and 14 is much closer to the surface than anticipated, with results of almost 320g/t Ag at only 17.6m from the surface (refer to results for hole 14). The results from drill hole numbers 7, 11 – 13, 15 and 16 are anticipated to be available in the next fortnight.

The Company is encouraged by the results of the drill program with the confirmation and identification of mineralisation structures at the Conjecture Silver Project. Importantly the results also highlight the high gold, lead and zinc content of the structures. The credit for these minerals further improves the economics and enhances the potential of the Conjecture Silver Project.

Black Mountain CEO John Ryan, commented: “The exciting results from drilling and geophysical work at Conjecture continue to demonstrate the exceptional prospectivity and the potential scale of Conjecture. Not only have we confirmed the presence of previously known areas of high grade silver mineralisation, thereby strengthening our confidence in the accuracy of previous work but we have also identified very promising new targets within our patented claims. With this in mind, we look forward to receiving the results from the remaining five holes over the coming weeks, which we already know have encountered mineralisation, in tandem with advancing development as we move towards initial production in H1 2013.”

Diagram 1: Conjecture Drill Program – Plan View

1. This estimated mineralisation is an Exploration Target only and does not represent JORC Code compliant Mineral Resources. The potential quantity and grade of the Conjecture Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Geophysical Work

In preparation for the geophysical work program at the Conjecture Silver Project, further field geological reconnaissance was undertaken with the assistance of Dr Steve Reynolds which identified an area of intense brecciation and silicification accompanied by relic sulphide box works.

Having commenced the geophysical program in September 2012, the Company recently completed an initial Induced Polarity (“IP”) survey strike line along the Conjecture Shear Zone of approximately 6 kilometres. The strike identified a number of target anomalies along the zone which will require further test work. Further desktop modelling and mapping is being undertaken on these results and a program involving cross lines across prospective areas is being developed. The IP work continues to develop new potential drilling targets and will require geochemical and structural geology work to be done on the new targets for further development.

Shannon is a former corporate lawyer and corporate advisor with significant experience in providing corporate, capital raising, transaction and strategic advice to numerous public companies.
