Several lead assays in holes JOC024, 25, 26, 28 are over-limit and have been cut to 20% lead. Final lead assays for these holes are pending.

The shallow reverse circulation drilling program was completed in May-June and comprised 177 holes for 9,653m. The majority of the holes were drilled at the Marshall-Reward and Bellbird deposits where 59 and 56 holes were drilled respectively. Smaller programs were completed at Cox's Find, Rockface, Green Parrot and at mineralised zones parallel to Marshall-Reward. Holes range from 25m to 100m and were drilled at 10m intervals along traverses spaced at 80m along the deposits.

The drilling program was designed to improve delineation of the oxide, transition and fresh rock boundaries within the regolith profile as part of the planned resource update. Historical drilling of the oxide was not systematic, did not assay for multi elements and importantly did not determine proportions of oxide and sulphide copper ore minerals. At Marshall-Reward and Bellbird chalcopyrite is the dominant copper sulphide mineral. In the oxide and transition zones the chalcopyrite oxidises to copper carbonates (malachite and azurite) with minor bornite.

The assay results for over 10,000 diamond and RC drilling samples remain outstanding and it is anticipated most of these will be received and announced over the next 2 -3 weeks.

Simon Milroy, the Managing Director of KGL Resources, commented:

"We were anticipating good copper grades in the shallow part of the Jervois resource though have been surprised with the extent and continuity. There has been some historical drilling of the near surface resource though much of it did not analyse for gold and in many cases the presence of silver and zinc. We are seeing copper and gold grades that are often much higher than estimated in the existing resource so I am looking forward to the resource update to be completed by the end of August."
