Summary

Alloy Resources Limited (ASX:AYR, the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on recent activities related to the Company’s projects.

The priority focus of the Company is the Horse Well gold project in Western Australia and the Company is pleased to have been able to expand its landholdings in this prospective greenstone belt.

Managing Director Andy Viner said “Over the last year we have gained a much better understanding of the gold mineralisation in this area and we are quite excited about the potential in the north-west of the project around the Crack of Dawn prospect. This area was defined by Eagle Mining in the 1990’s and has never been followed up despite widespread drill hole anomalism and a bottom of hole hit of 11m @ 3.45 g/t Au”.

“It is our intention to explore this area in the future and we have now secured any potential upside in the region through these additions to our landholdings. Aeromagnetic data shows extensions to the greenstone belt under sand cover within these new tenement areas, and local complexity that may indicate gold mineralising structures are present” he said.

Phosphate Australia Limited Option;

• The Company has entered into an Option Agreement with Phosphate Australia Limited (POZ) to acquire an 80% interest in Exploration Licence 69/2820 located adjoining the north-western part of the Horse Well Project (see Figure 1). An option fee of $25,000 is payable on commencement.

• The Option Exercise Period is for 2 years during which the Company must meet Minimum Annual Expenditure commitments.

• The Company may exercise the Option at any time during the Exercise Period by payment of $25,000 cash and the issue of $25,000 in shares in the Company. The Company may also withdraw at any time during the Exercise Period, contingent on meeting the Minimum Expenditure pro-rata at that time.

• The parties will form a Joint Venture upon Exercise of the Option, and POZ will be free-carried to completion of a bankable feasibility study. Thereafter POZ may contribute or dilute and should the POZ interest fall to 5% then its interest will revert to a 1.5% net smelter royalty.

The Company has also secured new tenure through an application for Exploration Licence 69/3069, adjoining its existing controlled tenure and the POZ tenement.

The Horse Well project area has been significantly enhanced through these new tenement additions in the opinion of the Company.

The greenstone belt that hosts 100,000 ounces of gold Mineral Resources (see attached Mineral Resource Table) within the Company’s tenements some 15 kilometres to the south, extends north-westerly through the new tenement additions (see Figure 2).

The Crack of Dawn prospect located in the north-west of the project area, adjacent to the new tenements, has been prioritised as an area of strong interest for future exploration. This prospect has a number of air-core drill anomalies with intersections including;

11 metres @ 3.45 g/t Au from 44 – 55 metres (bottom of hole) 5 metres @ 0.23 g/t Au from 48 – 53 metres (bottom of hole) 16 metres @ 0.16 g/t Au from 40 – 56 metres (bottom of hole) 4 metres @ 0.24 g/t Au from 48 – 52 metres (bottom of hole)

These results come from vertical holes on generally broad spacing, suggesting infill and expanded drilling has the potential to discover new gold mineralised areas. The Company is currently compiling and interpreting data from the area and will endeavour to schedule heritage surveys and infill drilling before the end of the year.
