High uranium grades at Toro’s
Lake Way and Millipede deposits, Wiluna WA
on Toro’s deposits around Wiluna
ASX RELEASE
9 September 2013
Highlights:
 Intersections of some of the highest grades of uranium mineralisation ever
recorded at Wiluna project in WA with peaks up to 1.14% eU3O8
#
 Average grades up to 2,449ppm U3O8 over 2.5m thick at shallow depth
 Gamma and geochemistry assays from the recently completed 2013 drill program
substantiates historic data and confirms economic potential at Wiluna’s deposits
at Lake Way, Millipede and Dawson-Hinkler
 New resource estimates are being prepared
 A second zone of uranium mineralisation identified at depth below current
resource
Toro Energy Limited (“Toro” ASX: TOE) is pleased to report that the latest drilling program has
intersected some of the highest ever grades of uranium encountered within the Company’s wholly-
owned Wiluna uranium project in Western Australia – positioned to become the State’s first uranium
mine from 2016 onwards.
The grades peak up to 11,420ppm, or 1.14% eU3O8
#.
The new results are the outcome of Toro’s successful completion of its largest ever resource drilling
program on the Wiluna Project, as shown in Figure 1.

The primary aim of the 2013 drill program was to significantly improve confidence in the Wiluna
resource by targeting up to 16 million pounds U3O8 of currently inferred status (according to the 2004
JORC code compliant resource most recently announced in 12 August 2013.) A total of 435 holes for
8,106m were successfully drilled on time, within budget and with no injuries. This included 61 sonic
drill holes for 1,057m used for both geochemical confirmation of gamma data and for twinning
historical holes at the Lake Way deposit. All data has undergone extensive quality control analysis and
will be included in new resource estimations for the Wiluna deposits, the results of which are
scheduled late September 2013. Significantly, the drilling also discovered a second zone of
mineralisation beneath the proven resource layer at each of the three deposits drilled.
The assays provide physical confirmation of high-grade uranium mineralisation with peak assay of
1.14% eU3O8# in WAC200, intersecting some of the highest grades of uranium mineralisation ever
recorded at Wiluna. Highlights across the mineralised zone include:
Millipede hole WAC0200: 1.84m @ 2,345ppm eU3O8
#
(average) from 1.3m depth; max 11,420ppm eU3O8
#
Lake Way hole WS023: 2.5m @ 2,449ppm U3O8 (average) from 5.0m depth; max 6,072ppm U3O8
Selective drill hole results and locations are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 respectively.

Table1: Significant mineralised intercepts of selected drill holes at Lake Way and Millipede
The drilling targeted three zones in three deposits, Millipede, Lake Way and Dawson Hinkler and
includes large areas previously not drilled since the 1970s. Recent successful negotiations and heritage
clearances with the local Traditional Owners provided access to these areas for resource drilling.

Importantly, most drill holes were pushed to at least 20m deep to test for the presence of
mineralisation at depth. This has resulted in the discovery of a second zone of mineralisation across all
three deposits at 15-20m depth, well beneath the currently known resource. While the zone is
commonly 0.5 to 1m thick and mainly of lower grade and less continuous in nature than the overlying
resource, in some areas such as Dawson Hinkler, grades are as good as or greater than the
mineralisation above. For example, in hole WAC071 (GDA94 z51 209689.9E, 7018909.97N), the
deeper mineralisation has a 0.6 m interval averaging 611 ppm eU3O8
# with a maximum of 938 ppm
eU3O8
#.
The results are being analysed as part of a revised resource estimate for the Wiluna Project with the
new estimate expected to be released late September 2013.
Toro’s Managing Director, Dr Vanessa Guthrie: “The results of this drilling program give us improved
confidence in the Wiluna resource base. Toro is also very encouraged by the discovery of further uranium
mineralisation at depth below the current resources, as these findings support our geological model and
understanding of the provenance of these deposits.”
“The identification of high-grade intersections in the previously inaccessible areas at Millipede and Lake Way
deposits, combined with the recent acquisition of Lake Maitland from Mega Uranium, strengthens the project
base and positions Wiluna to become WA’s next uranium mine.”

  • 1. High uranium grades at Toro’s Lake Way and Millipede deposits, Wiluna WA on Toro’s deposits around Wiluna ASX RELEASE 9 September 2013 Highlights:  Intersections of some of the highest grades of uranium mineralisation ever recorded at Wiluna project in WA with peaks up to 1.14% eU3O8 #  Average grades up to 2,449ppm U3O8 over 2.5m thick at shallow depth  Gamma and geochemistry assays from the recently completed 2013 drill program substantiates historic data and confirms economic potential at Wiluna’s deposits at Lake Way, Millipede and Dawson-Hinkler  New resource estimates are being prepared  A second zone of uranium mineralisation identified at depth below current resource Toro Energy Limited (“Toro” ASX: TOE) is pleased to report that the latest drilling program has intersected some of the highest ever grades of uranium encountered within the Company’s wholly- owned Wiluna uranium project in Western Australia – positioned to become the State’s first uranium mine from 2016 onwards. The grades peak up to 11,420ppm, or 1.14% eU3O8 #. The new results are the outcome of Toro’s successful completion of its largest ever resource drilling program on the Wiluna Project, as shown in Figure 1.

  • 2. 2 | P a g e The primary aim of the 2013 drill program was to significantly improve confidence in the Wiluna resource by targeting up to 16 million pounds U3O8 of currently inferred status (according to the 2004 JORC code compliant resource most recently announced in 12 August 2013.) A total of 435 holes for 8,106m were successfully drilled on time, within budget and with no injuries. This included 61 sonic drill holes for 1,057m used for both geochemical confirmation of gamma data and for twinning historical holes at the Lake Way deposit. All data has undergone extensive quality control analysis and will be included in new resource estimations for the Wiluna deposits, the results of which are scheduled late September 2013. Significantly, the drilling also discovered a second zone of mineralisation beneath the proven resource layer at each of the three deposits drilled. The assays provide physical confirmation of high-grade uranium mineralisation with peak assay of 1.14% eU3O8# in WAC200, intersecting some of the highest grades of uranium mineralisation ever recorded at Wiluna. Highlights across the mineralised zone include: Millipede hole WAC0200: 1.84m @ 2,345ppm eU3O8 # (average) from 1.3m depth; max 11,420ppm eU3O8 # Lake Way hole WS023: 2.5m @ 2,449ppm U3O8 (average) from 5.0m depth; max 6,072ppm U3O8 Selective drill hole results and locations are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 respectively.

Recent successful negotiations and heritage clearances with the local Traditional Owners provided access to these areas for resource drilling. # deconvolved gamma radiation measurements

  • 4. 4 | P a g e Importantly, most drill holes were pushed to at least 20m deep to test for the presence of mineralisation at depth. This has resulted in the discovery of a second zone of mineralisation across all three deposits at 15-20m depth, well beneath the currently known resource. While the zone is commonly 0.5 to 1m thick and mainly of lower grade and less continuous in nature than the overlying resource, in some areas such as Dawson Hinkler, grades are as good as or greater than the mineralisation above. For example, in hole WAC071 (GDA94 z51 209689.9E, 7018909.97N), the deeper mineralisation has a 0.6 m interval averaging 611 ppm eU3O8 # with a maximum of 938 ppm eU3O8 #. The results are being analysed as part of a revised resource estimate for the Wiluna Project with the new estimate expected to be released late September 2013. Toro’s Managing Director, Dr Vanessa Guthrie: “The results of this drilling program give us improved confidence in the Wiluna resource base. Toro is also very encouraged by the discovery of further uranium mineralisation at depth below the current resources, as these findings support our geological model and understanding of the provenance of these deposits.” “The identification of high-grade intersections in the previously inaccessible areas at Millipede and Lake Way deposits, combined with the recent acquisition of Lake Maitland from Mega Uranium, strengthens the project base and positions Wiluna to become WA’s next uranium mine.” Vanessa Guthrie Managing Director MEDIA CONTACT: Vanessa Guthrie Toro Energy 08 9214 2100 Kevin Skinner Field Public Relations 08 8234 9555 / 0414 822 631 # deconvolved gamma radiation measurements Toro Energy is a modern Australian uranium company with progressive project development, acquisition and growth. The company is based in Perth, Western Australia. Toro’s flagship and wholly-owned Wiluna uranium project is 30 kilometres southeast of Wiluna in Central Western Australia. Updated prefeasibility estimates and the Process Engineering phase of the definitive feasibility study are complete for mining of two shallow calcrete deposits, Lake Way and Centipede, for which all government environmental approvals have been received. Development of Project financing through potential JV partners is underway, and subject to the successful completion of this and Toro Board final decision, Toro is targeting an investment decision in 2014, with first production and uranium sales during 2016. Toro has three other deposits in its Wiluna regional resource, Millipede, Dawson/Hinkler and Firestrike, which it is continuing to evaluate. Toro’s wholly owned Theseus Project is a recent discovery with results to date indicating the potential for a high grade mineralised system. The Company also owns uranium assets in the Northern Territory and in Namibia, Africa. www.toroenergy.com.au TOE - A member of the All Ordinaries Index
  • 5. 5 | P a g e All U3O8 values reported above are calculated directly from U values. Where ‘e’ precedes ‘U3O8’ the U values have been derived from deconvolved down-hole gamma radiation measurements and represent U equivalents. Where there is no preceding letters U has been derived from geochemical assay (fusion-ICPMS) of 0.5m long full core samples of 100mm sonic drill core. All data has passed Toro’s stringent quality control processes.
