Additional high grade drilling results at Toka Tindung Mine

Archipelago is pleased to announce further impressive drilling results from its Blambangan and Pajajaran deposits at the Toka Tindung Mine ("Toka Tindung") in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

HIGHLIGHTS

-- Further to results released on 9 July and 15 October 2012 and as part of the 2012 exploration programme, additional drill intersections can be reported from deeper mineralised zones at Blambangan and Pajajaran, located approximately 3km from the processing plant.

   --      Highlights include: 

Blambangan:

 
 8m at 7.93g/t   (BP060A, 156 -        [including 3m at 17.92g/t Au; 
  Au              164m)                 158 - 161m]

  Au                                     100 - 101m] 
 5m at 6.95g/t    (PJJD051, 230 - 
  Au               235m) 
 

-- The results continue to indicate high grade extensions at depth for the Blambangan and Pajajaran deposits.

-- Toka Tindung remains highly prospective, with significant potential to extend Archipelago's already substantial 2.58m oz Au Resource and 1.47m oz Au Reserve.

-- Archipelago remains on track to release an updated Resource & Reserve Statement by the end of Q1 2013. The results from Blambangan and Pajajaran are expected to be included in updated Resource estimates.

COMMENT

Commenting on results, Marcus Engelbrecht, Managing Director and CEO, said:

"The Blambangan and Pajajaran intersections are the final results from our highly successful 2012 exploration programme, again demonstrating the quality of both deposits as we continue to drill at depth. Our immediate focus is on updating Toka Tindung's Resource and Reserve to take into account the encouraging results reported throughout 2012."

DETAILS

Toka Tindung involves mining from the main Toka Tindung pit and four near-site southern satellite deposits, inclusive of Blambangan and Pajajaran (all of which are open at depth and along strike). In 2012 (and continuing into 2013), Archipelago's targeted exploration programme focused on discovering additional ore through drilling untested zones adjacent to or at depth from known deposits. In addition, Archipelago undertook infill drilling to increase the confidence level of the Resource to enable conversion to an economic Reserve at a later date.

In total for the 2012 year, Archipelago drilled 63 holes for 8,870m at Blambangan and 56 drill holes for 10,109m at Pajajaran (inclusive of holes reported in this and previous announcements).

At both deposits, the purpose of the drilling was to test for depth extensions below previously reported mineralisation. At Pajajaran, drill holes PJJ045 and PJJ046 were also directed at testing for parallel veins; while PJJ037 tested the northern strike extension.

In addition to previously announced results, significant drill intercepts are set out below at Figure 1 for Blambangan and Figure 2 for Pajajaran. Further details are also set out in Appendix A.

Note: for the purposes of the above tables, drill results that have a grade x width >= 20 are considered significant.

All of the holes are reverse circulation drill holes with the exception of PJJD034 and PJJD051 which are diamond drill holes.

EOH = End Of Hole depth

The results confirm the existence of high grade extensions at depth for both Blambangan and Pajajaran. Toka Tindung remains highly prospective, with significant potential to extend Archipelago's already substantial 2.58m oz Au Resource and 1.47m oz Au Reserve. Archipelago remains on track to release an updated Resource & Reserve Statement by the end of Q1 2013.
