Exploration Program
Exploration efforts during the Quarter have focussed primarily on aircore drilling on the Narnoo Project with work on the Wiluna Project to commence in the coming quarter.
Narnoo Project
During the Quarter Zeus conducted an initial scout drilling campaign to evaluate the effectiveness of geophysical (ground gravity & airborne EM) survey results prior to conducting further drilling.
A total of twelve aircore drillholes were completed for a total of 1,322m, targeting sandstone-hosted peneconcordant uranium mineralisation developed at the base of the Tertiary palaeochannels, similar in style to the Princess Uranium Deposit.
Eight drillholes were completed on E39/1683, three drillholes on E39/1401 and one drillhole on E39/1687. No drilling was undertaken on E39/1689. Maximum and minimum hole depths were 147m (NAR005) and 47m (NAR013) respectively with an average hole depth of 102m. Drillhole locations are shown in Figure 2 with drillhole details summarised in Table 2.
Drillholes were sited to target interpreted gravity lows and conductive zones interpreted to contain palaeochannel sediments (Figure 2). Eleven drillholes directly targeted Tertiary palaeochannel sediments within structurally controlled grabens developed to the west of the Cundeelee Fault, whilst one drillhole (NAR006) was drilled east of the Cundeelee Fault in order to investigate anomalism within sandstones of interpreted Cretaceous age reported from an historical drillhole.

Results
All twelve drillholes intersected Tertiary palaeochannel sediments. Six of the twelve drillholes intersected anomalous gamma within Tertiary sediments, generally within basal Tertiary sandstones overlying well-developed Permian claystones.
A total of 123 samples were submitted for assay with 15% of samples returning assay values >50ppm U3O8. Significant intervals are detailed in Table 3. Drillhole NAR003 intersected a 7m thick interval from 112m of low-grade mineralisation (av. 113.8ppm) including 1m @ 248.2ppm U3O8 (0.025% U3O8) from 113m.

Drilling results to date have:
-
Confirmed the presence of significant Tertiary palaeochannels as indicated by geophysical surveying.
-
Confirmed the presence of coarse pebbly sandstones within the basal palaeochannels with the potential to be suitable to In Situ Recovery techniques.
-
Confirmed that reduced and pyritic (and/or carbonaceous) sediments are relatively common within the region.
-
Defined a suitably reduced target horizon containing organic carbon and pyrite at the base of the palaeochannel.
-
Confirmed the presence of oxidising groundwater movement (‘geochemical cells’) within this target horizon.
-
Defined prospective vertical and lateral redox boundaries within the palaeochannels.
-
Confirmed the occurrence of “Princess-Style” sandstone-hosted anomalous gamma and lowgrade uranium mineralisation within this target horizon.
Zeus considers these drilling results to be very encouraging. Further drilling at Narnoo is currently being planned as a follow-up to better investigate the anomalous gamma and low-grade mineralisation within Tertiary palaeochannel sandstones.
Wiluna Project
Work on the Wiluna Project during the Quarter focussed primarily on finalising exploration planning, permitting & approvals (including aboriginal heritage surveys) prior to commencing drilling. Additional work during the Quarter comprised ongoing compilation and review of relevant historical exploration data within the Wiluna region to refine Zeus' exploration targeting.
Aboriginal heritage clearance of proposed drill sites are currently being finalised.
Gascoyne Project
A. Red Rock (E52/2122)
Following the receipt of assay results last Quarter, radiometric anomalism at Red Rock is attributed primarily to a high Potassium and Thorium content, along with minor Uranium mineralisation;
This weakly anomalous geochemistry, coupled with massive nature and excellent exposure of the Red Rock batholith satisfactorily accounts for the strong airborne radiometric response.
Field work during the previous quarter determined that the massive, undeformed nature of the Red Rock batholith indicated that shear-hosted uranium/gold mineralisation, similar to occurrences within the Despair Granite to the east of the tenement, were unlikely to within the Discretion Granite on the Red Rock tenement. Furthermore, Despair Granite style mineralisation is not likely to contain sufficiently high uranium grades to warrant further exploration.
Zeus has therefore determined to surrender the tenement with no further work to be undertaken.
B. Mortimer Hills (E09/1618)
No work conducted during the quarter.
North Musgrave Project

|---|---|---|
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
Cuttings sample radiometrics were individually analysed using hand held self-calibrating RS-125 Spectrometer containinga 6.3 cubic inch Sodium Iodide (NaI) crystal. Spectral analysis was conducted on selected samples to aid in sample selection but has not been reported due to the inherent inaccuracyof their semi-quantitative analysis. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Selected sample intervals were submitted to Intertek/Genalysis analytical laboratory in Kalgoorlie for conventional assay. Sampled were crushed and pulverised before assaying for 16 elements. Assay techniques comprised : o4A/MS- Four-acid digest including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Perchloric and Hydrochloric acids in Teflon Tubes. Analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP- MS). o4A/OE- Four-acid digest including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Perchloric and Hydrochloric acids in Teflon Tubes. Analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Reference standards and blank samples were inserted at 1 in 20 ratio.

| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
Primary assay data (including assay certificates) is stored electronically as either ‘.csv’ or ‘.pdf’ or Wellcad files on the Zeus server in both Zeus' Sydney and Perth offices. Assay data has been verified by senior Zeus personnel. Zeus' database and server is backed upregularly |
|
|---|---|---|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Laboratory values for uranium assays in parts per million were multiplied by 1.179 to obtain the oxide U308grade. Assay data was supplied in elemental U and oxide U308format by the laboratory. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
Sample locations were recorded using handheld GPS. Elevations is derived from a digital elevation model produced during geophysical surveying over the tenement area. Drilling comprised initial scout exploration drilling. No down-hole surveys were completed since all holes were drilled vertically and the shallow hole depths relative to wide drill spacing would have a negligible on anymineralised intercepts. |
| Specification of thegrid system used. |
Thegrid system used is GDA94,Zone 51. |
|
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
The primary topographic control is from the Digital Elevation Mode which is sufficient given the generally flat-lying nature of the Tertiarysediments. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
Drillhole spacing is currently at a 1 to several km spacing. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied |
Data spacing is not yet sufficient to establish any degree of geological and grade continuity. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No sample compositing has been applied. Assay samples comprise 1m intervals. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Drillholes were oriented vertically. Drillhole traverses were oriented perpendicular to prevailing geological structures in order to define a cross-section across structurally-controlled palaeochannel systems (as interpreted from geophysical surveying). |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Drillholes were not surveyed using a downhole orientation tool and cannot be incorporated in any future ore reserve calculations. No sampling bias is evident in the orientation of the drill holes. |

| 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. |
Zeus Resources holds 11 granted exploration tenements within the WilunaandNarnoo Regions. Zeus operates a further 6 granted exploration tenements within the Wiluna, Gascoyne and North Musgrave regions. Transfer of tenement ownership to 100% of tenement ownership to Zeus Resources Ltd is in progress at the time of writing. Tenement details and status are outlined inTable 1. Drilling was conducted on the E39/1401, E38/1683, and E39/1687 tenements which are 100% owned by Zeus Resources Ltd. |
| The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
All tenements are in currently in good standing and no impediments to operating are currently known to exist. |
|
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Exploration efforts have been conducted following review of publically available historical exploration data from the WA Department of Mines & Petroleum "WAMEX" dataset. Regional scale drilling was conducted by BP Minerals during the 1979-1981 period with several exploration holes being sited on Zeus' tenements in the Narnoo Region. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Potential deposit types/mineralisation styles at the Narnoo Projects include: Calcrete- and sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation within Mesozoic to Tertiary Palaeochannels and modern drainage systems. |
| The primary exploration target comprises sandstone-hosted peneconcordant uranium mineralisation developed at the base of the Tertiary palaeochannels, similar in style to that seen at EaMA's Princess Deposit (located approximately 25km along strike to the southwest). |

Refer to table 2. |
|
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
A cut-off grade of 200ppm (0.2%U3O8) has been used for mineralisation. Grades below this are referred to as anomalous U or gamma. Grades <50ppmU3O8are not considered significant. |
| 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. |
N/A |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Uranium values have been reported as U3O8(ppm) derived from laboratory assay. No metal equivalent values have been reported. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Uranium mineralisation widths as reported have been derived from samples of aircore drillingcuttings taken at 1m intervals. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Uranium mineralisation is interpreted to be broadly tabular (peneconcordant) in style but drill spacing is insufficient to determine further. |
|
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this _effect(eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _ |
Only downhole lengths are reported. These lengths are appropriate given the vertical orientation of the drillholes and the flat-lyingnature of mineralisation. |
|
| 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. |
N/A. |
| 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. |
As comprehensive reporting of all exploration results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades have been conducted. |
| 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. |
Geological observations and geochemical survey results have been accurately reported. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
Planned further work comprises exploration drilling. Subsequent exploration work will be dependent upon results received. |
