    COMMENCEMENT OF LAKE MARMION URANIUM SAMPLING PROGRAM
    The Directors of Halcyon Group Ltd (ASX: HCY) are very pleased to announce that the Company has
    begun sampling the surface uranium radiometric anomalies on the tenure applied for to date on the Lake
    Marmion Uranium Project (located ~130kms north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia). The first four sites
    have been scanned with a scintillometer, with the most radioactive areas sampled by hand auger
    with results expected shortly.
    In addition, the company has also increased the size of its 100% owned Lake Marmion Uranium Project
    by a further 37% to a total of 343km2 through the application for tenements EL31/751 & 752, and
    PL31/1769 to 1771.
    The four sample sites (see attached map) where selected on the basis of the highest uranium radiometric
    anomalies taken during previous aeromagnetic surveys over the tenure. Each sample site was scanned
    with a scintillometer (a scientific instrument used to measure radioactivity) and readings of up to 600 total
    counts per second (cps) were generated at one of the sites. These readings are positive indicators for
    near surface uranium mineralisation.
    The new tenure on the eastern side of the project is highly prospective for palaeochannel/sedimentary
    type uranium deposits (eg, Mulga Rocks -10.8 Million Tonnes @ 1,400ppm U3O8) and uranium in
    surficial (near surface) deposits hosted in calcrete (eg, Yeelirrie deposit -35 Million tonnes @ 1,500ppm
    U3O8) and/or lake sediments.
    The sampling program will continue on the Lake Marmion Uranium Project over the coming months until
    the tenure is granted and drilling is ready to test the areas with the best potential for discovering both the
    near surface and the palaeochannel/sedimentary type uranium mineralisation.
    Kind regards
