Exploration Program
Exploration efforts during the reporting period have focussed on the planning of follow up exploration programs, and gaining approvals from the Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) for proposed drilling on the Narnoo Project.
Wiluna Project
During the reporting period planning for the proposed follow up drilling on the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Projects was undertaken.
The proposed drilling is a follow up to a successful drilling program conducted in December 2014 where prospective reduced sediments were determined to be widespread at depth within the Lake Way and Yeelirrie Palaeochannels, with two regionally extensive target sand horizons determined to be restricted to the palaeovalley axes.
The follow up drill program has been planned to target these prospective reduced palaeochannel sandstones within the Kukububba (Lake Way) and Yeelirrie South Palaeochannels.
Approval for this drilling program has been granted by the DMP, with Aboriginal heritage clearance also obtained, for these drill locations within the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Project areas.
Zeus currently plans to undertake the proposed drilling in the second half of 2016.
Narnoo Project
Work during the reporting period continued to focus on data capture/review from historical exploration reports and its incorporation into Zeus’ geological model.
This data has been used to develop a drilling program of 12 (priority 1) holes at Narnoo South (E28/2097) in order to confirm uranium grade and thicknesses within the Driller’s Palaeochannel identified during the drilling program conducted in May 2015.
Approval for a Program of Works (PoW) previously submitted to the DMP for review is yet to be granted following a request from the DMP for Zeus to liaise further with the Department of Parks
==> picture [387 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
and Wildlife on minor aspects of the proposed program. This liaison is ongoing and it is expected that approval from the DMP for the revised PoW will be obtained in the next reporting period.
Zeus currently plans to undertake the proposed drilling in the second half of 2016.
Gascoyne Project
Work during the reporting period comprised ongoing review, data entry and analysis of historical exploration data within the region.
Zeus’ new tenement application (E09/2147) covering outcropping base metal mineralisation at the Reid Well prospect, has continued to progress.
Subsequent Events
On the 19[th] April 2016 Zeus Resources Ltd announced that it had entered into a farm-in joint venture (Mortimer Hills JV) with Segue Resources Limited (ASX: SEG) ( Segue ). The Mortimer Hills JV covers the granted exploration licence E09/1618 (Figure 2).

Segue will immediately undertake a maiden exploration programme at the Mortimer Hills JV, in conjunction with the existing exploration work being undertaken at Segue’s other tenements in the Gascoyne region.
The field work and surface sampling will seek to identify pegmatites which are more fractionated and have the potential to host tantalum-lithium deposits. The map below (Figure 3) shows biotite-

muscovite bearing granitic intrusions which are potentially the source rock for LCT (Lithium-CaesiumTantalum) rare-earth pegmatites.

The key terms of the Mortimer Hills JV are:
-
Segue to spend $30,000 on exploration prior to 15 May 2016 ( Initial Exploration );
-
Following completion of the Initial Exploration, Segue can earn a 35% interest in the Joint Venture through the expenditure of $125,000 within 12 months ( Stage 1 Farm-in );
-
Following completion of the Stage 1 Farm-in, Segue can earn an additional 15% interest in the Joint Venture (taking Segue’s interest to 50%) through the expenditure of $125,000 within 12 months ( Stage 2 Farm-in );
-
Following completion of the Stage 2 Farm-in, standard joint venture terms apply, including contributions in proportion to equity holdings, dilution and pre-emptive rights; and
If either Zeus or Segue’s joint venture interest dilutes to less than 10% then that party’s interest will convert to a 1% NSR royalty.
