Perseus Mining Limited: Further High Grade Drill Results at Edikan

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwired - July 1, 2014) - Perseus Mining Limited ("Perseus" or the "Company") (TSX:PRU) (ASX:PRU) is pleased to provide details of further high grade gold intercepts recorded during recent drilling on the Bokitsi South Deposit at its Edikan Gold Mine (EGM) in Ghana, West Africa. (Refer to Figure 1 - Location Map). Bokitsi South is the first of a number of targets to be drill tested with the aim of identifying high grade mineralisation that can be included in mill feed for the EGM processing plant.

The drill results which are in addition to the positive drill results described in our News Release dated 19 June 2014, include the following highlights:

BKRC083 - 16m at 6.4g/t Au from 43m including 3m at 26.7g/t Au from 44m
BKRC084 - 24m at 4.6g/t Au from 60m including 2m at 18.9g/t Au from 68m
BKRC086 - 3m at 5.6g/t Au from 27m (drill hole ended in mineralisation)
BKRC093 - 6m at 8.7g/t Au from 9m including 3m at 16.1g/t Au from 10m
BKRC099 - 4m at 10.8g/t Au from 72m including 1m at 36.0g/t Au from 73m
BKDD048 - 8.7m at 8.7g/t Au from 67.5m including 2.4m at 18.6g/t Au from 72.6m

The Bokitsi drill programme included 37 RC drill holes totalling 2,973 metres. The drill intercepts summarised above are from the final 22 drill holes of the programme and are in addition to results from the first 15 drill holes announced previously. Significant intercepts from all holes in the drill programme are listed in Table 1 of Attachment 1. Apart from the three holes that were diamond core tailed due to the presence of water, the predominantly RC drilling program was conducted with dry samples. (Refer to Figure 2 for a plan of the Bokitsi South deposit and to Figure 3 for a vertical longitudinal section.)

This drilling programme targeted areas containing Inferred Mineral Resources at Bokitsi South, as well as testing the southern extent of the lode. The drill results from the programme will now be incorporated into a revised estimation of the Mineral Resources at Bokitsi South which will be published early in the September 2014 Quarter. A maiden Mineral Reserve estimate for the Bokitsi South deposit based on the updated Mineral Resource data is expected to be released late in the September 2014 Quarter.


Perseus Managing Director, Jeff Quartermaine's Comments:

"We continue to be very encouraged by the results from the Bokitsi South drill programme. A Mineral Resource upgrade and maiden Mineral Reserve estimate will now be prepared for the deposit and studies to assess the feasibility of bringing forward the development of the Bokitsi pit will commence.

Bokitsi South is one of several deposits and prospects on our Edikan tenements, including Chirawewa, Mampong and Pokukrom, where our exploration programmes are targeting high grade mineralisation to enhance the grade of mill feed at our Edikan Gold Mine.

We consider that organic growth is the most cost efficient method of growth for mining companies and the recent results from the Bokitsi South drilling programme indicate that our corporate strategy of pursuing growth through the drill bit is delivering positive results as planned."


The Bokitsi sediment shear hosted mineralized zone extends along the western flank of the Fetish deposit to 1.5 kilometres to the south. Mineralisation is contained in a 5 to 25 metre wide shear zone in volcaniclastic sediments with silica-sericite alteration, quartz veining and 1 to 3% pyrite plus arsenopyrite. While the granite hosted deposits at Edikan tend to be wide and low grade, the sediment shear hosted deposits are narrower with significantly higher grade.

Two discrete deposits have been delineated on the trend, including Bokitsi North which is located immediately west of the Fetish deposit and Bokitsi South. Oxide ore was mined from both deposits in the 1990s, with the Bokitsi South lode exploited by Ashanti Goldfields.

Metallurgical test work conducted on the Bokitsi South gold mineralised material indicates that it is amenable to processing through the EGM circuit at marginally lower recoveries than the Edikan granite orebodies.

The drilling program on Bokitsi South has infill-drilled the principal sulphide lode below the old oxide pit to a nominal 20m by 20m drill spacing and extended the drill testing to the south in order to expand and upgrade the Mineral Resource.

ATTACHMENT 2 - JORC CODE, 2012 Edition - Table 1


Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

Sampling techniques
- Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

- Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

- Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

- In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

- Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes (BKRC holes) were routinely sampled at 1m intervals down the hole. RC samples were collected at the drill rig by riffle splitting drill spoils to collect a nominal 1-2 kg sub sample and composited into 2m samples for assay of unmineralised hanging-wall material, and 1m samples were submitted for assay of the mineralised zones.

- Diamond drill (DD) core in BKRD holes was sampled at 1m intervals by sawing in half the drill core and submitting half for assay.

- Routine standard reference material, sample blanks, and sample field duplicates were inserted/collected at every 12th sample in the sample sequence on average in order to gauge and ensure sample representivity and quality of results from the laboratory.

- All samples were submitted to Intertek Minerals Ghana in Tarkwa for preparation and analysis for Gold by 50g Fire Assay with AAS finish.


Drilling techniques

- Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

- All RC holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling techniques with a hole diameter of 5.5 inch and a face sampling down hole hammer.

- Three diamond core tails were drilled with an NQ diameter coring bit.


Drill sample recovery

- Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

- Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

- Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

- A qualitative estimate of sample recovery was done for each sample metre collected from the drill rig.

- Riffle split samples were weighed to ensure consistency of sample size and monitor sample recoveries.

- Drill sample recovery and quality is considered to be adequate for the drilling technique employed. Wet RC samples were not an issue as the RC drill rig had sufficient air pressure to ensure dry samples.


Logging

- Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

- Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

- The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

- All drill samples were geologically logged by Company Geologists.

- Geological logging recorded rock types, visual estimates of the abundance of quartz fragments and sulphides plus the degree of weathering using a standardized logging system.

- All (100%) of material drilled via RC and DD drilling methods was logged in detail by Company geologists.

- Small samples of RC drill material were retained in chip trays and DD core stored in core trays for future reference and validation of geological logging.


Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation


- If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

- If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

- For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

- Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

- Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

- Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

- All dry samples were riffle split at the drill rig. Wet RC samples were not encountered in this program. When chips were showing signs of moisture, the drilling switched to diamond core to avoid wet chips in several holes.

- Routine field sample duplicates of RC samples were taken to evaluate representivity of samples with the results stored in the master drill database for reference.

- At the Intertek Minerals Ghana laboratory, samples were weighed, dried and crushed to -2mm in a jaw crusher. A 1.5kg split of the crushed sample was subsequently pulverised in a ring mill to achieve a nominal particle size of 85% passing 75um.

- Sample sizes and laboratory preparation techniques are considered to be appropriate for this stage of gold exploration.


Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

- The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

- For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

- Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

- For all drill samples, analysis for Gold was undertaken at the Intertek Minerals Ghana laboratory by 50g Fire Assay with AAS finish to a lower detection limit of 0.01ppm. Fire assay is considered a total assay technique.

- No geophysical tools or other non-assay instruments were used in the analyses reported.

- Review of standard reference material, sample blanks and duplicates suggest there are no significant analytical bias or preparation errors in the reported analyses.

- Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the laboratory and routine review of the laboratory QAQC suggests the laboratory is performing within acceptable limits.


Verification of sampling and assaying

- The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

- The use of twinned holes.

- Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

- Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

- Drill hole data is captured by Company geologists at the drill rig and manually entered into a digital database.

- The digital data is verified and validated by the Company's database Manager before loading into a master drill hole database on a regularly backed-up server.

- Reported drill hole intercepts are compiled by the Company's Group Exploration Manager.

- Twin holes were not drilled to verify results as it is considered unnecessary at this stage of drilling.

- There were no adjustments to assay data.


Location of data points

- Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

- Specification of the grid system used.

- Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

- Drill hole collars were set out in a local grid datum using a Total Station, with a number of well-established survey bench marks for control.

- Drill hole collars were picked up after drilling with a Total Station and cross-checked with a DGPS in UTM WGS84 Zone 30N. The accuracy in lateral and vertical directions is considered to be within millimetres.

- Drill holes were surveyed for down hole deviation using a Reflex EZ-Shot tool, at 12m and 30m depth, and every 30m depth thereafter, plus at the end-of-hole.

- Locational accuracy at collar and down the drill hole is considered appropriate for this stage of drilling.


Data spacing and distribution

- Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

- Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

- Whether sample compositing has been applied.

- The drilling program was one of infill drilling for an eventual resource update. Previous drilling was in-filled to a nominal spacing of 20 meters X 20 meters in this program.

- The reported drilling is sufficient to establish geological and grade continuity and will be used for a future resource update of the deposit.

- Sample compositing was performed only in the sampled hang-wall waste material with 2 X 1m sample composites, however sample compositing was not performed in the mineralised zones and the original 1 metre samples were submitted for assay.


Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

- Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

- If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

- In plan, drilling has been performed approximately perpendicular to the strike of controlling structures and the mineralisation. In cross-section, drill holes were drilled at high angles to the dip of structures and mineralisation.

- The drilling has largely been drilled at high angle to the mineralisation and a sampling bias is not expected to have been introduced.


Sample security

- The measures taken to ensure sample security.

- Samples were stored in a fenced compound within the Company's Edikan Mine Site until being collected at site by Intertek Minerals Ghana vehicles and transported to their laboratory in Tarkwa.


Audits or reviews

- The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

- The Company's sampling techniques employed in Ghana were last reviewed in a site visit to the Edikan Gold Mine by consultants Runge Limited (now RungePincockMinarco Limited) in October of 2010 and are deemed to be of industry standard and satisfactory.



Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

- Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

- The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

- The reported results are from the Ayanfuri Mining Lease, permit ML1110/1994.

- All drill holes have been reported for which results have been received.

- Grid co-ordinates are a local mine grid with the baseline oriented at 38 deg. east of true north.

- Collar elevation is defined as height above sea level in metres (RL) and has been determined with a DGPS.

- Dip is the inclination of the hole from the horizontal. Azimuth is reported relative to the local grid as the direction toward which the hole is drilled.

- Down hole length of the hole is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole, as measured along the drill trace

- Intersection depth is the distance down the hole as measured along the drill trace.

- Intersection width is the down hole distance of an intersection as measured along the drill trace

- Hole length is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole, as measured along the drill trace.

- Table 1 reports all of the drilling results from this program and repeats initial results first reported on June 19, 2014.


Data aggregation methods

- In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

- Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

- The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

- Drill hole intercepts are reported from 1m metre down hole samples.

- A minimum cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au is applied to the reported intervals.

- Maximum internal dilution is 2m within a reported interval.

- No grade top cut-off has been applied.

- No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.


Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

- These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

- If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

- If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

- Previous drilling has well established the geometry and orientation of the mineralisation being drilled in this program, and drilling has been planned to be nearly perpendicular to the strike and dip of the mineralisation.

- The mineralised zone dips on average 50 deg to the southeast, and drilling was inclined at -50 to -45 to the northwest. True thicknesses of drill intercepts ranges between approximately 85% and 100% of the down-hole length.

- Results are reported as down hole length.


Diagrams

- Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

- Figure 1 is a general location map of the Bokitsi South deposit, relative to other deposits at the Edikan Gold Mine.

- Figure 2 is a plan map of previous and recent drill hole collars at Bokitsi South.

- Figure 3 is a vertical Longitudinal Section of the Bokitsi South deposit highlighting recent infill drilling with intercepts > 50 gramsXmeters annotated.


Balanced reporting

- Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

- All drill holes drilled in this program are shown in Figure 2 (Drill Plan).


Other substantive exploration data

- Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

- There is no other exploration data which is considered material to the results reported in this announcement.


Further work

- The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

- Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

- Limited infill drilling may be planned to test in further detail the northern and southern extensions of the Bokitsi South deposit at shallow levels.

- An update to the Bokitsi South deposit resource is planned for the September 2014 Quarter.
