Exploration Program
No fieldwork was completed during the Quarter on the tenements managed by Zeus Resources Ltd.
Wiluna Project
Zeus continues to explore options for follow up drilling on the Lake Way Project. 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 Palaeochannel, with a regionally extensive target sand horizon determined to be restricted to the palaeovalley axis.
The follow up drill program has been planned to target these prospective reduced palaeochannel sandstones within the Kukububba (Lake Way) Palaeochannel.
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 Project area.
Narnoo Project
The Narnoo South project remains an area of strong interest for Zeus, and as at the Wiluna Project options for follow up drilling of the Narnoo South (E28/2097) uranium prospect ae currently being explored.
The follow up drilling program of 12 (priority 1) holes at Narnoo South is designed to confirm uranium grade and thicknesses within the Driller’s Palaeochannel which was identified

during the drilling program conducted in May 2015. The company undertook a compulsory partial surrender of E28/2097 in this quarter, which reduced the tenement to 7 blocks from 11 blocks.
Approval for this drilling program has been granted by the DMP for these drill locations.
Gascoyne Project
During the April Zeus Resources Ltd. undertook a four day field trip to the Gascoyne project. The purpose of the field trip was to investigate a reported copper/galena barite vein within E09/2147 and to assess the potential for Lithium-Tantalum pegmatites, such as those identified on the Company’s adjacent licence, E09/1618, which is being explored in a joint venture with Segue Resources Ltd.
A number of mapping and rock chip sampling traverses were completed over potential target areas, with a total of six rock chips samples collected, including two samples targeting gold mineralisation associated with shear zone hosted, quartz veining.
During March 2017, joint venture partner Segue Resources Ltd (“Segue”) carried out a follow-up stream sediment survey on E09/1618 over the Camel Hill Prospect, where anomalous results for Lithium Caesium Tantalum (LCT) indicator minerals had been identified. The stream sediment survey was designed to extend upon the previous work to cover off on the prospective ground around Camel Hill within the metasediments of the Mount James Subgroup and Leake Springs Metamorphics.
The results from the stream sediment sampling within E09/1618 and the wider project area, showed a strong correlation amongst the Lithium Caesium Tantalum (LCT) Pegmatite pathfinder elements Li-Cs-Ta + Be, Rb, Nb, Sn. The sampling programs highlighted the potential of the Camel Hills areas to host LCT pegmatites by defining a low order Li-Cs-Ta-Rb anomaly which warrants further exploration. The results are being reviewed and additional stream sediment sampling and soil geochemical sampling programs will be planned accordingly.
