19 November 2012 For Immediate Release

NEW HIGH GRADE GOLD INTERESECTIONS AT WATER TANK HILL

Highlights

• Further high grade gold mineralisation intersected in recent RC drilling below the Water Tank Hill pit at Mt Magnet

Significant results received to date include:

  • 11m at 15.83 g/t Au from 224m, (including 7m at 23.45 g/t Au) in GXRC1300
  • 19m at 5.98 g/t Au from 195m, (including 5m at 15.78 g/t Au) in GXRC1302
  • 19m at 9.37 g/t Au from 261m, (including 9m at 12.56 g/t Au) in GXRC1305

The Directors of Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX:RMS) are pleased to provide an update on additional deeper exploration drill hole intersections at the Company's 100% owned Mt Magnet Gold Mine, located in the Murchison Province of Western Australia.

Assay results are now available from deeper reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (GXRC1300 – GXRC1305) testing below the Water Tank Hill pit, located 4km south-southeast of the Company's Checkers Mill at Mt Magnet and 250m west of the historical St George underground mine portal (Figure 1). An aggregate 1,532m of RC including the precollars for two deeper diamond holes (GXDD0036 and GXDD0037) have so far been drilled this quarter.

Gold mineralisation at Water Tank Hill is associated with brecciated and sulphidic banded iron formation (BIF) sequences. The gold mineralisation occupies a series of sub-vertical, high grade plunging shoots within the BIF fold closure.

At depth, around 200 metres below surface, the high grade shoots are displaced by a low angle reverse fault (Figure 2).

Drill holes GXRC1300 was drilled across the fault zone and confirms the continuity of high grade mineralisation across the structure.

Drill hole GXRC1301 was drilled to test the gap between the southern and northern shoots and GXRC1303 tested the northern extension of the southern shoot.

The intersection in GXRC1305 confirms the continuity of high grade gold mineralisation below the displaced fault zone. Gold mineralisation remains open down plunge and is currently being tested with the deeper diamond drill holes.

Attachment1: Significant (>0.50g/t Au) 1m RC drilling results for the Water Tank Hill Project – Mt Magnet WA

Reported significant gold assay intersections (using a 0.50 g/t Au lower cut) are calculated over a minimum down hole interval of 1m at plus 0.50g/t gold and may contain up to 2m of internal dilution. NSR denotes no anomalous assays above 0.50g/t Au. BLD denotes below analytical detection. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50 gram charge and AAS finish, with a lower limit of detection of 0.01g/t Au. True widths are approximately 66% of the reported down hole intersections. Result Awaited and Results Incomplete refers to assay data still pending from the laboratory. Holes abandoned because of excessive deviation off target.

* Denotes RC precollar depth only; awaiting diamond tail.
