/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

PERTH, Western Australia, Dec. 17 /CNW/ - Exploration drilling of the sulphide ore zone below the Teberu 04 pit continues to generate excellent intersections and significant sulphide mineralisation has been intersected from the first of the drill holes at Salman South.

Significant sulphide intersections include :

Hole ID	Section (UTM55)	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Grade (g/t)	Location
SNRC985	3750	77	85	8	4.37	Teberu
SNDD1002	3775	74	77	10	4.18	Teberu
SNDD1005	3825	58	73	15	4.18	Teberu
SNDD1010	3925	43	53	10	3.87	Teberu
SNRCD999	1650	104	115	12	2.61	Salman Sth
SNRCD1008	1627	80	84	4	3.13	Salman Sth

* See notes to Exploration Results & Appendix 1

At the Teberu 04 pit 10 RC (reverse circulation) and 7 diamond holes have now been drilled.  Sulphide mineralisation has been intersected in a continuous zone that extends for over 300m and has been tested to a vertical depth of ~50m.  Additional deeper drilling is now planned.

At the Salman Central 01 pit 17 RC holes have been drilled, 4 of which are precollars for diamond holes and at Salman South 1A pit 1 diamond and 16 RC holes have been drilled, 15 of which are precollars.  Diamond holes will be drilled at 50m spacing to test the sulphide zones to a depth of 100m to allow a new sulphide resource estimate to be calculated in 2011.

More exploration diamond drilling will continue at Salman South and Salman Central.  Preparation for reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Aliva oxide prospect is well advanced and soil sampling will recommence following a late end to the current wet season.
