  • Completion of pre-production activities and preparation of mine permitting submission documents;

  • Acceleration of exploration programmes to extend resources at known deposits/prospects and to evaluate numerous high priority regional targets;

  • Pursuit of additional growth opportunities.

The Placement will be completed in two tranches:

Directors / Officers:

Michael Haynes Hugh Bresser Anthony Polglase Gibson Pierce Sias Els Nicholas Day

Issued Capital:

146.6 million shares (before placement)

ASX Symbol : OVR

  • The first tranche will comprise the issue of 21 million shares (approximately 44% of the Placement) under the Company’s 15% capacity. This tranche will be settled on or around 10 March 2011.

  • The Company will seek shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting to be held on or around March 30, 2011 to approve the second tranche, which shall comprise the issue of a further 26.5 million shares. Subject to shareholder approval, this tranche will settle on or around 2 April 2011.

Upon completion of the Placement the Company will be very well positioned to continue to advance the Yukon Base Metal Project through mine permitting and to continue to aggressively explore the Yukon Base Metal Project and surrounds.

The Company recently announced an upgraded measured, indicated and inferred JORC Code compliant resource estimate for the Yukon Base Metal Project that comprises:

11.0 Mt at 5.8% zinc and 1.0% lead[1] , or

11.0 Mt at 6.8% zinc equivalent[2 ] (see Table 5).

As a result of this resource upgrade the Company is assessing the economics of developing a larger open pit mining operation at the Yukon Base Metal Project, which may improve total capital utilisation.

The proposed use of funds is set out in Table 1 below.

– Yukon Base Metal Project Exploration Potential

Following a very successful exploration program in 2010 the Company recently announced the doubling of the JORC Code compliant resource estimate for the Darcy Zinc Deposit. The recent discovery of the extensions to the Darcy Zinc Deposit highlights the considerable potential of the Yukon Base Metal Project to host additional mineral resources. Mineralisation remains open at all three deposits discovered to date (Andrew, Darcy and Darin Zinc Deposits), and the Company anticipates expanding these deposits further during 2011 with additional drilling along strike and at depth.

Soil geochemistry has proven to be an extremely effective targeting tool at the Yukon Base Metal Project. It has successfully led to the discovery of the Darcy and Darin Zinc Deposits. Exploration conducted during 2010 has highlighted a previously untested zinc in soil mineralised trend extending to the north east of the Andrew Zinc Deposit (see Figure 1). The Company intends drill testing targets along this trend during its forthcoming field programme.

The Company also continues to assess and secure areas prospective for mineralisation within the Selwyn Basin. The Company recently staked 80 claim blocks (12 km[2] ) over an area of known mineralisation referred to as the Riddell Prospect, 20km south east of the Andrew Zinc Deposit. Further exploration at this prospect will be completed during 2011.

Yukon Base Metal Project – Overview

The Yukon Base Metal Project covers approximately 100km[2 ] over and around the shallow, high grade Andrew and Darcy Zinc Deposits in the highly prospective and under explored Selwyn Basin of the Yukon Territory, Canada. Overland Resources Limited holds a 90% interest in the Project and continues to evaluate and secure new opportunities that are aligned with the Company’s goal of developing a viable mining operation at the Project.

Work is well advanced on the technical, economic and environmental components of a feasibility study into the development of the Yukon Base Metal Project. The Company is aiming to submit a mine permitting proposal to the executive committee of Yukon Environment and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB) at the end of 2011. The Yukon Territory is a jurisdiction that is particularly supportive of new mine developments. The permitting process is expected to take between 12 and 18 months with construction commencing shortly after mine permits are issued.
