ASX Release - 16 January 2012 NEW GOSSANS DISCOVERED AT SELWYN EAST, ANOMALOUS MOLYBDENUM, COPPER, COBALT, GOLD and REO RESULTS• Gossans over 800 metres associated with aeromagnetic anomaly 4.5km long
• Rock chip samples return up to 652ppm Mo, 0.27% Cu, 956ppm Co, 0.33g/t Au
• Geophysics planned to help define drill targets
ActivEX (ASX:AIV) is pleased to announce results of rock
sampling in the Selwyn East (EPM
18073) area. A total of 60 rock chip samples were collected
during initial field reconnaissance of the southern part of
the Selwyn East EPM (see Figure 3) carried out in late
2011.
The work has identified several new prospects in the EPM with
a key prospect, Heathrow (named for its proximity to the
airstrip) identified five kilometres east of Ivanhoe's Merlin
and Mt Dore developments (see Figure 1). The Heathrow
prospect consists of outcropping sulphide-bearing gossans
over 800 metres of strike length. These are associated with
dolerite intrusions presenting as a significant magnetic
anomaly over 4.5km long. Gossans are exposed on the southern
part of the magnetic anomaly with no outcrop found to the
north.
Rock chip samples returned anomalous copper (up to 0.27% Cu),
cobalt (up to 536ppm Co), uranium (up to 300ppm U), gold (up
to 0.17ppm Au) and molybdenum (up to 652ppm Mo) from the
prospect area. Some spot high values of rare earth elements
(up to 0.9%REO) were also returned from the general vicinity
(see Figure 2). These were dominated by high levels of the
light rare earths, Lanthanum and Cerium.
In announcing the results today, ActivEX Managing Director
Doug Young said "We were surprised to get out there for our
first look at the area and immediately walk on to gossanous
rocks which had never been sampled before, even though they
are within sight of the Ivanhoe facilities. The gossans at
Heathrow are associated with brecciated dolerite intrusives,
close to the Mt Dore Granite contact and are quite anomalous
in copper, cobalt, molybdenum, uranium and gold which is
encouraging." Mr Young went on to say "The fact that 80% of
the strike of the magnetic anomaly is covered by sandy soil
means we will need to use geophysics to assist in defining
the best part of the system, prior to drilling."
Other prospect areas have also been identified in the
tenement from the initial field inspections. Several isolated
gossanous outcrops were discovered with anomalous copper (up
to 1500ppm Cu), cobalt (up to 956ppm Co), gold (up to 0.33ppm
Au) and molybdenum (up to 190ppm Mo) but the extents of these
zones require further field work to delineate.
Field activities will re-commence in the area as soon as
weather permits.

Background on ActivEX LimitedActivEX Limited (ASX: AIV) is a Brisbane based mineral explorer with substantial copper and gold exploration tenement packages in Queensland and an advanced potash project in Western Australia.
In Queensland, the Company has a significant ground holding in the Cloncurry district (see Figure 3) searching for Iron Oxide Copper Gold deposits. Exploration drilling in this area in 2011 has made major advances towards the establishment of copper-gold resources at Florence and the company has recently commenced work in the Selwyn East area, in close proximity to major new mine developments at Merlin, Mt Dore, Mt Elliott and Starra.
In eastern Queensland, ActivEX is targeting epithermal and porphyry style deposits. The Company has a
70% interest in a high grade gold-silver epithermal project at Barambah which is at an advanced exploration stage and the Company's aim is to establish a gold-silver resource in the near future. In the
Esk Trough area, the recently established joint venture with CopperMoly Limited will fund exploration up to $6M searching for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum systems. Drilling is expected to commence in
the first half of 2012.
In W.A., ActivEX owns the Lake Chandler potash project and is investigating both the deposit and optimal methods of extraction of the potash minerals.
