Mithril Resources Limited: New Copper-Zinc Project Strengthens Exploration Portfolio

Adelaide - Mithril Resources Ltd. (ASX:MTH) is pleased to advise that it has applied for a new 100% - owned Exploration Licence (EL09/2315 - Genoa Bore Copper Zinc Project) that lies west of Galena Mining Limited's Abra Deposit within a similar geological setting (located 300 kms north west of Meekatharra, WA - see Figure 1 in link below).

- New 100% - owned tenement application named "Genoa Bore" west of the Abra Lead Silver Deposit

- Genoa Bore covers interpreted western extension of large regional scale structure that controls mineralisation at Abra

- Prospectivity of new project highlighted by strong indications of copper and zinc mineralisation in historic work

- Strengthens the Company's exploration portfolio which includes the Kurnalpi Nickel Project where Mithril is planning to test priority nickel sulphide targets in late June.

Mithril's new Genoa Bore Project (340km2) covers the interpreted western extension of the Lyons River Fault Zone, a large regional scale structure that controls mineralisation at Abra 140 km to the East, within an area of similar Proterozoic sediments that host the Abra deposit (See Figure 2 in link below).

A 2012 JORC Code Compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource of 36.6Mt @ 7.3% lead, 18g/t silver has been recently estimated for the Abra Deposit (see ASX Announcement by Galena Mining Limited dated 14 March 2018).

At Genoa Bore, Mithril is targeting an economic accumulation of copper and zinc mineralisation. The area's prospectivity is highlighted by historic surface rock chip sampling and wide spaced drilling, some of which has returned strong indications of copper and zinc mineralisation, see Tables 2 - 3, and Figure 3 in link below;

- Rock chip samples with individual assay values up to 17.5% copper, 2.4% lead, 3.70% zinc, and 120ppm silver

- Drilling - 48m @ 2,709ppm Zn from 54 metres in ISBD1, 5m @ 5,940ppm Zn from 130 metres in ISBD2, and 21m @ 3,488ppm Zn from 315 metres in ISBD3

Mithril will now conduct a data compilation, review and target generation exercise at Genoa Bore ahead of the tenement's grant which is expected within the next 12 months.

The addition of the new project strengthens Mithril's exploration portfolio which includes the Kurnalpi Nickel Project (two targets prioritised for drill testing and EM geophysics in late June 2018), and the Billy Hills Zinc Project (target generation continuing ahead of expected tenement grant in the September 2018 Quarter) (see Table 1 in link below).
