Market Update on Inova Resources' Exploration and Drilling Programs in North Western Queensland

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwired - July 9, 2013) - Inova Resources Limited (ASX:IVA)(TSX:IVA) is pleased to provide an update on its current and planned exploration programs in the Cloncurry district in north western Queensland.

- Large scale IOCG targets to be tested at the Barry and Benmore Prospects
-- Drilling has commenced at the Barry and Benmore prospects - both large-scale IOCG targets about six kilometres west of the Starra line deposit

- Gold target at Confucius showing promise
-- Channel chip samples across the vein sets reporting 1m @ 24 g/t Au from one vein set; and 2m @ 11.43 g/t Au from a newly discovered set of veins

- Significant uranium results from Robert Heg
-- Five shallow drill holes have returned significant results including 24m @ 646 ppm U3O8 from 16 metres and 13m @ 1126 ppm U3O8 from 13 metres

Inova Resources is continuing its well-funded exploration program in its highly prospective, large tenement portfolio (see Figure 1 for location map). The current program is building on the already significant amount of exploration data that the Company has amassed since its inception in 2003.

Inova Resources' Chief Executive Officer Bob Vassie said: "I am excited by the results our exploration team is generating. Our exploration program has been rationalised and clear priorities established. Following the substantial and ongoing effort examining previously collected data (including drilling data and detailed geophysical results), our exploration team is continuing its greenfields exploration program with some exciting targets and prospects being field tested. With the recent appointment of Mark McGeough as General Manager Exploration, we have refreshed our exploration strategy and focussed our current activities."

"While we continue to focus our greenfields efforts on the larger copper prospects, there are also some intriguing early results at Confucius, which is turning out to be a new gold prospect for us, and also at Robert Heg, where the follow-up drilling is returning some encouraging uranium intersections."

In addition to this work, drilling is continuing in and around the Starra 276 and Kulthor operating mines and other brownfield targets with the aim of increasing the current Mineral Resources for the Osborne copper-gold business.

"We have had some initial success at depth below the current Starra 276 mine, with the best intercept showing over 13 metres at 2.5% copper equivalent1. Further, we continue to add to our understanding of what has the potential to be a new large molybdenum-rhenium province over some 70 kilometres of our tenements that contain the Merlin project," Mr Vassie said.


Copper Exploration

Barry and Benmore Prospects - Large-scale IOCG targets identified

The Barry and Benmore Prospects (see Figure 1) represent large-scale Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") style drill targets identified through a combination of seismic reflectors, induced polarisation ("IP") chargeability, magnetic and gravity anomalies, surface geological mapping and rock-chip geochemistry. Drilling of these targets is currently underway.

The Barry Prospect was first identified during a seismic traverse across the Starra Ironstones in 2009. Six kilometres west of the Starra line deposits, a significant structure was identified within the seismic data (Figure 2). When modelled, this structure was found to be coincident with overlapping gravity and magnetic anomalies. A single line of two dimensional IP ("2D IP") was conducted East-West over the seismic reflector returning a large chargeability only response. A line of North-South 2D IP was later conducted to confirm the location of this anomaly with the northern end of this IP line defining a second large IP anomaly. This second anomaly is named Benmore and is located on a flexure in a significant scale structure. This structure has been mapped on surface and rock-chip geochemistry indicates it is moderately anomalous in gold (0.2g/t Au in rock-chip samples).

Both the Barry and Benmore anomalies are chargeability anomalies with subdued coincident conductivity responses indicating that the IP anomaly is most likely to be produced by disseminated sulphides. The combination of this chargeability, magnetics, gravity and mapped significant structures makes these exciting large scale IOCG targets. Drill holes have been planned for both prospects and drilling has commenced.


Elana M Trend

The Elana M Trend lies approximately 30 kilometres north of the Mount Elliott/SWAN deposits (Figure 1) and consists of eight prospects over 12 kilometres of strike of prospective carbonaceous silts and calc-silicate units (Figure 3).

1 Starra 276 eCu% = Cu (%) + Au(g/t)*0.6

In 2009, Inova Resources reported significant Cu-Au drill results from the Triga prospect including the following:

- TRR0011 46m @ 1.05% Cu and 0.66 g/t Au from 20 metres
and 14m @ 1.39% Cu and 0.32 g/t Au from 132 metres

Earlier in 2013, a drilling campaign to follow up the 2009 results was undertaken at Triga with the following positive results:

- TRD003 8m @ 1.47% Cu and 0.63 g/t Au from 212 metres
- TRD004 6m @ 1.24% Cu and 0.68 g/t Au from 201 metres

The deeper copper sulphide zones can now be confidently traced from 200 metres depth to surface. In the oxide zone closer to surface, chalcopyrite has been replaced by chalcocite, a copper species that can be processed by leaching or floatation techniques. A recent review along the Elana M Trend has highlighted the potential for Triga and other prospects along the trend to contain shallow, leachable copper resources.

Figure 4 shows detailed outcrop geological mapping conducted at Triga. Chalcocite mineralisation occurs as disseminations and fracture fill within intensely, feldspar-altered, carbonaceous metapelite, at the contact between carbonaceous silts and calc-silicates. Two mineralised trends can be traced, each over 250m in length and approximately 50 metres in width. Previous drilling indicates this oxide mineralisation extends to approximately 60 metres from surface.

A shallow reverse circulation ("RC") drill program is being generated to test the potential of two chalcocite trends at Triga, with the intention of defining shallow copper mineralisation.

Further work is also proposed for the Ailsa, Barnes Shaft, Lanham's Shaft and Betts prospects along the Elana M Trend, where similar chalcocite mineralisation exists at surface and previous drilling has returned significant copper-gold results.


Mount Elliott Region

Exploration continues within the Mount Elliott Region targeting high-grade copper in structural and stratigraphic locations similar to the Mount Elliott deposit. A recent, large scale Three Dimensional Induced Polarisation (3DIP) survey defined numerous chargeability anomalies that are being assessed (Figure 5). Recent drilling at the Jock and Core Shed Prospects (see Figure 1 for location) has returned zones of visible sulphides within Mount Elliott style alteration (quartz, pyroxene, magnetite and calcite), with assays pending. The next phase of work, expected to be undertaken during the current quarter, will include a Downhole Electro Magnetic (DHEM) survey to search off-hole for potential mineralisation.


Starra 276

Recent surface drilling at the Starra 276 mine has been targeting extensions to the known Mineral Resources with the aim of extending the mine life. The most recent hole, detailed below, indicates promising results (see Figure 6) which will be followed up with further drilling later in 2013:

- STQ1096 13.3 @ 1.91% Cu and 0.92 g/t Au from 764.5 metres

The current Mineral Resource reported publicly by Inova Resources extends to a depth of approximately 400 metres2.


Molybdenum Exploration

Molybdenum Targeting

Geological field work is currently concentrating on two areas: 1) along strike of the Merlin Deposit (which is the world's highest grade molybdenum/rhenium deposit, with Mineral

Reserves of 7.1 million tonnes at 1.1% Mo and 18 g/t Rhenium); and 2) along the Elana M Trend, where previous drilling has returned significant results such as:

- LAD0003 18m @ 2.15% Mo and 3.37ppm Re from 134 metres

In addition, a broader, regional review is being undertaken of areas with similar geological, geophysical and geochemical characteristics to Lanham's Shaft and the Merlin area. The geological data gathered to-date indicates strong Molybdenum-Rhenium prospectivity over 70 kilometres of strike length containing the Merlin project and the Elana M trend. This has the potential to be a significant new province that could add to the life of the Merlin project.


Uranium Exploration

Robert Heg: Significant uranium results from recent drilling

Five, shallow reverse circulation drill holes were drilled at the Robert Heg uranium prospect in May 2013 returning the following significant results:

- RHR0026 24m @ 646 ppm U3O8 from 16 metres

- RHR0028 13m @ 1126 ppm U3O8 from 13 metres

Previously, significant results had been reported from Robert Heg, including:

- RH001 22m @ 4809 ppm U3O8 from 13 metres (CRA Exploration, 1993)
-- incl. 11m @ 9344 ppm U3O8 from 14 metres

- RH009 8m @ 5123 ppm U3O8 from 36 metres (CRA Exploration, 1993)

- RHDD0019 11m @ 4691 ppm U3O8 from 15 metres (Inova Resources, 2007)
-- incl. 9m @ 5649 U3O8 ppm from 15 metres

High-grade uranium mineralisation at Robert Heg is hosted in a sequence of calc-silicate units. Inova Resources' recent drilling program was designed to identify the main structural controls for uranium mineralisation. Mineralisation at Robert Heg appears to be associated with a set of NNW trending, westerly-dipping zones (Figure 7) and is open along strike and down dip. The original drill hole by CRAE (RH001) appears to have been drilled along this structure. These results are currently being modelled in 3D and further drilling is being designed to test this structure and several parallel structures identified from geological mapping and reinterpretation of previous drilling. Figure 8 displays Inova Resources' Northern tenements with radiometrics (U2/Th filter) indicating potential uranium targets.

Palaeochannel uranium

Inova Resources holds a number of tenements which are prospective for roll-front or palaeochannel sediment hosted uranium deposits. Uranium deposits of this type provide approximately 45% of the world's mined uranium production. In 2011, Inova Resources conducted 1,700 line kilometres of helicopter-borne time domain electromagnetic surveys (HeliTEM) over these tenements to identify prospective palaeochannels with the view to identify potential for uranium deposits. Figure 9 shows these conductivity targets. An initial reconnaissance air-core drilling program is being designed to drill-test these targets.

A full review of the uranium potential of Inova Resources' tenements is being conducted to identify additional targets for testing. Filtering of extensive, high resolution geophysical data sets has already highlighted three surface anomalies, including the U4 target area, for follow up drill testing.


Gold Exploration

Confucius

Inova Resources has previously reported significant gold results from the Confucius prospect, four kilometres west of the Mount Elliott deposit (see Figure 1 for location). Strong gold in soil geochemistry at Confucius was followed up with surface geological mapping and rock-chip sampling (Figure 10). From this work, a set of veins reporting up to 58.8g/t Au in rock chips can be mapped over a strike length of 400 metres. This vein set was drilled in late 2012 and results included:

- CFD0002 9.38m @ 4.18 g/t Au from 58 metres; and
- CFD0001 0.85m @ 8.33 g/t Au from 43.15 metres

Recent channel chip samples across the vein sets reported:

- 1m @ 24 g/t Au from one vein set; and
- 2m @ 11.43 g/t Au from a newly discovered set of veins.

Inova Resources plans to drill this trend over a 400m strike length in the third quarter, 2013.

These individuals by virtue of their education, experience and professional association, are considered Qualified Persons (QP) as defined in Canada's NI 43-101 standard for estimates and results included in this report. The Qualified Persons have verified the relevant data disclosed herein during their participation in the preparation of the relevant technical reports relating to the disclosure, and as further described in the Technical Report.

Mark McGeough and Geoff Phillips are Fellows of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Mathew Brown is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, and each has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a 'Competent Person' as defined in the JORC code. Mark McGeough, Geoff Phillips and Mathew Brown consent to the inclusion in the announcement of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.


QAQC Statement

Inova Resources' core sampling within mineralised zones is generally taken on continuous one-metre intervals down each drill hole, or on smaller lengths over narrow geological units, for large disseminated or weakly mineralised zones sample lengths may increase to a maximum of two metres. The core is marked with a continuous cutting line along the middle, parallel to the long axis for the purpose of preventing a sampling bias during splitting. Core is cut with a rock saw flushed continually with fresh water and one-half of NQ/HQ core or one-quarter of PQ core is taken for analysis. Reverse circulation (RC) samples are taken on continuous one- or two-metre intervals down each drill hole and collected from a rig-based cone splitter.

Sample dispatches include Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), Field Blanks, Field Duplicates, Crushed Duplicates, and Pulp Duplicates. The CRMs, Field Duplicates, and Field Blanks are randomly inserted during sampling, whereas the Crushed and Pulp Duplicates are inserted at the laboratory. CRMs are certified for gold, copper, molybdenum, and/or rhenium.

Samples are placed in plastic bags, sealed, and collected in large, labelled shipping bags that are secured and sealed with numbered tamper-proof security tags. Samples are shipped to ALS Laboratory Group's Mineral Division at Mount Isa for preparation. Gold, copper, molybdenum, and rhenium assays, and multi-element geochemical analyses are conducted at ALS Mount Isa, Townsville, and Brisbane laboratories. ALS operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.

Reference material assay values are tabulated and compared to those from established Round Robin programs. Values outside of pre-set tolerance limits are rejected and samples subject to re-assay. A reference material assay fails when the value is beyond the 3SD limit and any two consecutive assays fail when the values are beyond the 2SD limit on the same side of the mean. A Field Blank fails if the assay is over a pre-set limit.

Inova Resources also regularly performs check assays at an independent third party laboratory, conducts onsite internal QAQC reviews, and laboratory reviews to ensure procedural compliance for maintaining industry standard best practices.
