AUSDRILL BACKS PRIMARY GOLD VIA DRILLING FOR EQUITY PROGRAM

AUSDRILL BACKS PRIMARY GOLD VIA DRILLING FOR EQUITY PROGRAM OVER THE MOUNT BUNDY GOLD PROJECT

MOU executed for development of a A$3.0M equity drilling agreement to grow Primary's 1.2Moz gold resource base via delineation of greenfield & brownfield targets

Primary Gold Limited (ASX: PGO) is pleased to announce it has secured the ongoing support of Ausdrill Limited (ASX: ASL) through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a formal A$3.0M drilling for equity agreement. The agreement comprises drilling programs over the 1,500km2 of tenements covering the Mount Bundy Gold Project in the Northern Territory.

The drilling for equity agreement is estimated to provide for ~30,000m of drilling over existing brownfield and greenfield sites at Mount Bundy, including the ~60 identified but undrilled gold anomalies located on the site.

Under the terms of the MOU, the parties have agreed Ausdrill will receive payment for up to A$3.0M of drilling services, via the issue of ordinary Primary Gold shares. A payment mechanism has also been agreed, comprising a share valuation of 90% of the 30 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) against the value of each invoice.

Commenting on the MOU, Primary Gold Executive Director Patrick Walta said, "the Company is excited by the opportunity to undertake drilling at the Mount Bundy Gold Project, since there has been relatively scarce drilling activity outside of Toms Gully for over 20 years. Having the drilling for equity backing of one of Australia's largest drilling contractors in Ausdrill demonstrates a strong belief in the potential for resource expansion and new discoveries within the tenements."

While the MOU remains non- binding, the parties have full intention of executing a formal agreement for the equity drilling services over the next 30 days.

All drilling rates proposed by Ausdrill have been verified as commercially competitive by comparison with current rates of other drilling companies in the Northern Territory.

On execution of the formal documents, the Company plans to immediately mobilise rigs to start drilling on site at Mount Bundy.

The purpose of the drilling programs will be to grow the existing gold resource base via both the expansion of brownfield resources and also identification and delineation of undrilled greenfield gold targets. In particular look- a-like Toms Gully and Rustlers Roost style deposit anomalies identified in the recently completed field expedition will be tested.

Previous work by Primary Gold has identified approximately 60 additional targets over the Company's 1,500km2 tenement package, which are located on the ~50km of anticline structures known to control the deposition of gold mineralisation within the tenements.

The Company will continue to update current and prospective shareholders with material developments associated with the Mount Bundy drilling program as it progresses.
