Mithril Resources Ltd ("Mithril" - ASX: MTH) is pleased to provide an update on gold exploration activities currently underway on two of its projects - Lignum Dam and Duffy Well.

At the wholly - owned Lignum Dam Project (located 50 kilometres north-northeast of Kalgoorlie Western Australia - Figure 1), Mithril is currently undertaking a program of infill auger geochemical sampling to refine existing priority gold targets ahead of Aircore/RC drilling planned for the December 2016 Quarter.

With an area of approximately 260km², Lignum Dam covers a package of gold and nickel prospective Archaean mafic, ultramafic, and felsic rocktypes directly along strike from the Lindsay's Gold Mining Centre and the high grade Silver Swan nickel deposit.

At the Duffy Well Project (located 30 kilometres east of Meekatharra Western Australia - Figure 1), Doray Minerals Limited ("Doray" - ASX: DRM) has completed a Heritage Survey and line pegging ahead of undertaking a 3,500 metre Aircore drilling program to test multiple gold targets. Doray expects to commence the Duffy Well drilling by mid - October 2016.

Duffy Well covers the interpreted southern extension of the Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt where Doray has intersected high-grade gold mineralisation in RC drilling at the Turnberry Prospect, including 3m @ 10.1g/t gold from 149 metres, 5m @ 17.4g/t gold from 71 metres, and 4m @ 17.9g/t gold from 45 metres (Doray ASX Announcement dated 11 June 2015).

Doray can earn an initial 51% interest in Duffy Well by completing expenditure of $300,000 within two years (by 3 November 2017) and can elect to earn an additional 34% interest by completing further expenditure of $200,000 within another one year (in total 85% by spending
