The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, John Seton, announced yesterday continuing positive results from diamond drilling within the Company’s Bau Goldfield Property in Sarawak, East Malaysia.

Recent drilling within granted Mining Leases 135 and 143 has intersected a significant zone of open-ended mineralization below and to the south of the historic Bekajang open-pit, which was previously mined to a depth of about 40 meters only. A perspective view of the historic Bekajang pit and nearby holes with significant intercepts is shown in the following link:

Selected intercepts are tabulated below:

The intersection of higher grade zones beneath the current modelled resource boundary (such as 3.90m @ 48.47 g/t Au in BYDDH-09) suggests a steepening of the main gold mineralized zone and an interpreted north-south trend. Systematic step-out drilling is in progress.

A JORC/NI43-101 “Inferred” resource of 0.6M oz of gold (10,100,000t @ 1.85 g/t Au) has been estimated from modelling of shallow mineralization in the Bekajang Sector as a whole. This is inclusive of a current “Inferred” resource in and around the BYG pit (where the reported drill results are located) standing at 3,097,000 tonnes @ 2.22g/t gold (221,300 oz gold). While it remains uncertain whether the Bekajang Sector targeted resource of one million ounces of gold will be achieved, the intercepts tabulated above are deemed encouraging.

Company Chief Executive Officer, John Seton, said: “These are very important intercepts in anyone’s language. Bau Central is now really starting to deliver on expectations. Three out of seven sectors within the central goldfield mineralization trend are now at feasibility stage, and these results clearly illustrate the potential for this project to ultimately deliver multiple million ounce gold deposits.”

BAU GOLDFIELD PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Bau Goldfield property is a brown-field project spread over a large geographic area in which the Company owns existing mining tenements that cover much of the historic Bau Goldfield, in Sarawak, East Malaysia.

A JORC/NI43-101 gold resource of 2.45Moz, consisting of 0.56M oz “Indicated” (10,963,000 t @ 1.60g/t Au) and 1.89M oz “Inferred” (35,808,000t @ 1.64g/t Au), has previously been released (See Olympus press release dated June 24, 2010). This resource is in multiple deposits at varying levels of development and resource status.

Exploration, including a 25,000m drilling programme, is focused on a linear belt comprising eight sectors, shows that Figure 2. A new estimate of upgraded and expanded resources is expected to be announced by the end of 2011.

Mining feasibility studies are underway to determine the optimal development route and examine the issues sequentially involved in developing multiple deposits (See Olympus press release dated September 8, 2011). Data output from the 2,011 drilling programme will be utilized for definitive mining studies during 2012, with the objective of achieving production status by 2014.

Company equity in the Bau Goldfield Project operating Joint Venture Company (North Borneo Gold Sdn Bhd) currently stands at 80.53%. The company plans to acquire an additional interest to bring its total stake to 93.55% within the next two and a half years.

Olympus is a diversified gold company focused on Southeast Asia, with two operating mines and four advanced exploration properties. The Company expects to produce 40,000 oz of gold this year and plans to further expand existing gold plant capacities and commission two new mines to achieve an annualized production rate in excess 200,000 oz of gold by 2014.
