DIVESTMENT OF NON-CORE ASSETS (September 2008)

Above: Divestment - Joint Ventures |
In mid 2007 the DYL Board reviewed its
portfolio of exploration projects Australia wide and resolved
to consider the divestment of 'non-core' assets.
The Board's rationale for the sale of these
non-core projects was to allow DYL to focus on its advanced
exploration projects in Namibia, the Mt. Isa district and
other priority regional targets close to already established
DYL bases throughout Australia. In addition DYL would
endeavour to realise an immediate return in cash terms from
the projects and deploy this cash to priority projects. Last
but not least there is the opportunity to further benefit
DYL's shareholders through the retention of a significant
direct stake in each project and a retained equity interest
with the purchaser.
The divestment resulted in a joint venture
with Uranio Ltd on properties in Western Australia and South
Australia and with Rum Jungle Uranium Ltd over tenements in
the Northern Territory.
DYL is negotiating with unlisted Dragon Energy
Ltd with respect to tenements in Queensland. In addition DYL
has entered into agreement with WCP Resources Ltd over the
phosphate potential on its Sherrin Creek EPM to the west of Mt
Isa.
Uranio Limited Agreement
As announced to the ASX (22 May 2007) DYL
entered into a JV agreement with Uranio Ltd (Uranio) over the
Gardner Range, Ponton North and Anketell properties in Western
Australia and the Siccus JV in South Australia. DYL received
an initial payment of $500,000 on signing the agreement.
With the admission of Uranio to the ASX (29
January 2008) a joint venture was formed with Uranio holding
70% and DYL 30% in the divestment tenements. In the case of
the pre-existing Siccus JV, Uranio holds 70%, DYL 20% and
Signature Resources retain their 10% holding. As part of the
settlement Uranio issued DYL with 3,849,379 shares and
3,848,379 options plus $500,000 in cash.
Consideration for this transaction was $2
million cash and the equivalent of 9.8% in post IPO equity in
shares and matching options. DYL has received the shares and
options and $1 million in cash, the balance of $1 million has
been deferred for 12 months (21 January 2009) and is
attracting interest at the rate of the official cash rate of
The Reserve Bank of Australia plus 2%.
Uranio has over the last 12 months carried out
drilling on the Siccus JV tenement and flown an airborne
electromagnetic survey over the Ponton North project area.
Uranio is planning diamond and RC percussion
drill programmes on the Gardner Range Project in Western
Australia. The drilling is following-up on previously
intersected mineralisation at the Don Prospect within E80/3275
where drilling in the 1980s returned 0.44 m at 1.5% U3O8 from
40.5 m depth.
At the Ponton North Project in the Eastern
Goldfields, Uranio will drill 3,500 metre aircore programme
targeting uranium mineralisation within a palaeochannel system
contiguous with the Mulga Rock uranium deposit.
Details of the projects and upcoming drill
programmes can be found on the Uranio website at
www.uranio.com.au
Rum Jungle Uranium Agreement
Deep Yellow reached agreement with Rum Jungle
Uranium Limited (RJU) whereby RJU could enter into a Joint
Venture with Deep Yellow on six exploration licences in the
Alice Springs District (ELs 10360, 10401, 10404, 22918, 22923
and 25101 - ASX 30 August 2007).
RJU was admitted to the ASX on 21 November 2007 and in
accordance with the Agreement they acquired 50% interest in
six exploration licences.
The principal commercial terms were that RJU issue DYL with
2 million ordinary shares and 2 million options to acquire
ordinary shares upon listing on the ASX so acquiring a 50%
interest in the tenements. RJU can go on to earn a further 20%
interest in the Joint Venture tenements by spending $2 million
on exploration within four years.
RJU is planning to commence drilling on the Arltunga (EL
22918) and Ambulindum (EL 10360) tenements following clearance
from the Mines Department and the Central Land Council.
Aircore drilling totalling 3,000 m in 150 holes at Arltunga
and 1,500 m in 40 holes at Ambulindum is planned to commence
in September 2008.
Details of the Alice Springs programme can be found on
RJU's website at www.rumjungleuranium.com.au.
Dragon Energy IPO (100% DYL)
The Company announced to the ASX (12 December 2007) that it
had entered into an agreement with Dragon Energy Ltd (Dragon)
whereby they could acquire 75% of each of the DYL properties
by sole funding expenditure on the tenements. Dragon will also
have the opportunity to maximise its ownership of the
properties in the future by paying for the proven in-ground
resource.
The divestment tenement package comprises:
-
Granted EPM's 15072, 15494 and 15249 and Application
16008 in North West Queensland
-
Granted EPM's 15615,
15620, 15621 and 15622 and Application 15624 in South East
Queensland
Targets include shallow secondary uranium deposits
associated with younger cover sequences to the Mt Isa Inlier
basement rocks and uranium mineralisation in concealed
Tertiary channels draining 'hot granites' in the Croydon
district.
In the case of the Durong Project in South East Queensland
there is an opportunity to explore for roll front uranium
mineralisation in a buried palaeochannel setting as delineated
by a recently flown airborne electromagnetic survey carried
out by DYL.

Queensland Divestments
The principal commercial terms are as follows:
A. Consideration
-
A$500,000 in cash made up as follows:
a) Dragon has made an upfront payment of
A$50,000 in cash on the signing of the Farm-in and Joint
Venture Agreement.
b) A final cash payment of A$450,000 will be paid by Dragon
out of the financial proceeds realised from the proposed
listing on the ASX.
-
During the Sole Funding Period, Dragon may
earn a 75% interest in the Tenements by spending
$3,000,000.
-
If, during the Sole Funding Period, Dragon
makes a discovery in the Tenements of a JORC Code
compliant inferred mineral resource of at least an
aggregate of 5,000 tonne of uranium oxide, Dragon will be
deemed to have satisfied the earn-in requirements in
Clause 2 above and to have earned a 75% legal and
beneficial interest in the Tenements.
Given Dragon's objective of becoming a uranium
explorer, DYL and its shareholders will benefit from Dragon's
focused efforts as DYL will remain a stakeholder in the
projects going forward.
Owing to the market downturn Dragon Energy Ltd
have deferred their proposed IPO listing until at least
November 2008. In the meantime they are maintaining the Joint
Venture tenements in good standing.
Farm Out of Rights to Non Uraniferous
Minerals at Sherrin Creek
DYL's wholly owned subsidiary Superior Uranium
Pty Ltd (Superior), entered into an agreement with WCP
Resources Ltd (ASX Code: WCP) to provide WCP with the option
to earn a 100% interest in all minerals (other uranium and
associated minerals) on the Company's Sherrin Creek Prospect
(Queensland tenement EPM 16007).
The EPM 16007 tenement - 70 kilometres
northwest of Mount Isa - covers 351 square kilometres in an
area with phosphate deposits in the Georgina Basin,
Queensland. WCP is particularly interested in extending known
phosphate mineralisation on the EPM. Previous drilling on EPM
16007 returned encouraging intercepts of P2O5
with hole Y105 containing 14.5 metres of 12.93% P2O5
from 16.8 metres depth, including 9.9 metres at 15.38% P2O5
from 19 metres depth; and hole SC27 containing 11.9 metres at
15.41% P2O5
from 33.8 metres which includes 7.9 metres at 21.71% P2O5
from the same depth.
The terms of the agreement provide for WCP to
earn a 100% interest in all minerals contained within EPM
16007, with the exception of any uranium and associated
deposit minerals which shall remain 100% owned by Deep Yellow.
Consideration for the earn in comprises two tranches:
-
an upfront payment of $100,000, which has
been satisfied by the issue of 1,325,590 ordinary shares
in WCP (escrowed for twelve months); and
-
an additional payment of $250,000 worth of
WCP's ordinary shares at a price equal to the Company's 5
day VWAP in the event it elects to retain its interest in
twelve months time.
WCP is responsible to ensure that the
statutory expenditure levels and annual work programs for the
tenement are met.
