Altona Mining : Drilling Begins at Roseby South

28 September 2016 ASX: AOH, FSE: A2O

• Drilling to target three new prospects - Reaper, Hobby and Harvest
• RC drilling program consists of 15 - 25 holes and 2,500 metres of drilling
• Initial drilling to target high-tenor copper-in-soil anomalies
• Anomalies comparable to Altona's Little Eva deposit
• Drilling expected to be completed by November 2016

Altona Mining Limited ("Altona" or "the Company") today announced drilling has commenced at the Company's 100% owned Roseby South Project ("Roseby South") near Mt Isa in Queensland (Figure 2).

Roseby South immediately adjoins the southern boundary of the Company's Cloncurry Project and MMG's major underground zinc mine development at Dugald River (Figure 2). The Cloncurry Project is the subject of a US$235.5 million proposed joint venture ("JV") with Sichuan Railway Investment Group ("SRIG"). Please refer to ASX release dated 2 June 2016 for further information regarding the SRIG JV.

Roseby South is a 100% Altona-owned exploration tenure. It does not form part of the arrangements with SRIG.

The planned reverse circulation drilling program consists of approximately 15 to 25 holes and 2,500 metres of drilling at Harvest, Hobby and Reaper (Figure 1). Altona will also drill test one or two other prospects.

At each prospect, large copper-in-soil anomalies greater than 1,000ppm (0.1% copper) have been defined. The anomalism is of similar size and tenor to the Cloncurry Project's Little Eva deposit (546,000 tonnes contained copper and 295,000 ounces of gold, Appendix 3). Outcrop and float rock samples returned up to 14.4% copper and 0.74g/t gold at Harvest; 23.3% copper and 2.9g/t gold at Hobby; and, 0.8% copper and 1.54g/t gold at Reaper.

The targets were identified this year and were reported in ASX releases dated 1 August 2016 (Harvest and Hobby) and 5 September 2016 (Reaper). Please refer to these releases for more detailed prospect summaries.

No previous drilling has been undertaken at Hobby and Reaper, whereas reconnaissance drilling at Harvest by past explorers returned significant mineralised intersections. Third party agreements and Aboriginal heritage clearances required prior to drilling have been secured.

Drilling is expected to be completed by early November 2016 and approximate costs are estimated at

$250,000.
