AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE AND MEDIA RELEASE
SEPON PROJECT – 80% OXIANA, 20% RIO TINTO
GOLD EXPLORATION — CONTINUED SUCCESS
Drilling at several near mine prospects continues to highlight potential for an increase
of the Sepon gold resource/reserve inventory ahead of a forthcoming expansion study.
As part of Oxiana’s strategy to maximise the potential of the Sepon mineral field, a four rig
drill program is in progress to extend existing deposits, upgrade resource confidence and
delineate new near mine resources.
This release covers the most recent drill results from the Luang, Vang Ngang and Phavat
prospects (see attached plan). To date, about 60 per cent of the near-mine budgeted oxide
program has been completed. Further drilling to complete the program and begin testing the
sulphide resources will follow the current wet season. Meanwhile, resource estimation
work has commenced ahead of a gold project resource update scheduled for late August
2003.
Infill and extension drilling will continue during the wet season at all current gold deposits
and on the western high grade zone of the Khanong copper deposit.
Luang Prospect
The Luang prospect comprises a large gold-in-soil anomaly located 500 metres to the
north-west of the Discovery gold deposit (currently being mined). Oxiana reported
promising exploration drilling results from this prospect in late 2002 (ASX release 9th
October 2002). Recent follow up drilling to delineate resources confirmed the continuity of
high grade gold mineralisation in both the near surface oxide environment and down dip in
the primary zone. Better results include:
