Extensive Untested IP Anomaly Identified at Samnang Prospect Okvau Project, Cambodia

Recently completed 3D Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysical survey has highlighted significant scope for exploration and resource growth potential

An extensive IP chargeability anomaly identified at the Samnang Prospect (adjacent to the Okvau Deposit), indicating the presence of substantial sulphide mineralisation, similar but more extensive to that associated with the 1.13Moz Okvau Deposit

A coincidental strong resistivity anomaly also confirms the potential for altered diorite, a favorable host to gold mineralisation

Areas for possible incremental extensions of mineralisation at the Okvau Deposit also identified by the IP survey

Renaissance Minerals Limited (ASX: RNS) ('Renaissance') is pleased to announce that is has received results and a preliminary interpretation from an offset pole-dipole Induced Polarization (3D-IP) survey completed around the Okvau Deposit in Cambodia. The 3D-IP survey has highlighted considerable upside scope for additions to the currently defined 1.13Moz resource estimate at the Okvau Deposit (refer Table One).

The survey identified a high chargeable zone that is contiguous over at least 500 metres of strike and is still open to the north at the Samnang Prospect (refer Figure One). Samnang is located immediately to the north-west of the Okvau Deposit. The IP anomaly identified at Samnang is analogous with a chargeable anomaly associated with the mineralisation at the Okvau Deposit, although appears to be more extensive.

The IP survey clearly demonstrates the relationship between high chargeability in the IP and sulphide mineralisation at Okvau Deposit. The strong chargeable response at Samnang indicates the presence of greater proportions of sulphide. Lower electrical resistivity response (i.e. higher conductivity) also supports the presence of higher sulphide content.

A significant surface geochemical anomaly exists at Samnang (refer Figure Three) which Renaissance has previously tested with limited shallow drilling. As shown in Figure Two, the IP chargeable anomaly identified by this new survey sits immediately beneath this previous drilling which only tested the upper margins of the IP anomaly and returned highly encouraging results such as (refer ASX announcement dated 4 February 2013):

9 metres @ 6.6g/t gold from 0 metres 3 metres @ 4.0g/t gold from 21 metres 2 metres @ 4.7g/t gold from 33 metres

Furthermore, the IP appears to show the effect of north-east structures which are cross cut by north-west structures. This setting is known to be a major structural control of the Okvau Deposit.

Renaissance plans to drill test the IP target over the coming months to determine whether the sulphide body indicated by the IP survey hosts significant economic gold mineralisation.

It was already known that the Okvau Deposit mineralisation was associated with a distinct chargeable high. What was not known previously was the extent and apparent depth continuity of the chargeability at the Samnang Prospect, located only 500m to the north-west of the Okvau Deposit.

IP Survey Details

The IP survey was designed to measure to about 250 metres depth and the lower chargeability signature at depth is potentially due to the overlying strong shallow response rather than suggesting lower sulphide mineralisation at depth. Approximately 2km2 was covered by the survey over the immediate surrounds of the Okvau Deposit, including the Samnang Prospect. The survey was undertaken on 100 metre spaced east-west transmitter lines. The method identifies chargeable zones that store electric charge (chargeability) such as sulphides and resistive zones such as silica alteration which is associated with gold mineralisation at the Okvau Deposit. The area covered by the survey is shown in Figure Three.

About Cambodia

Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy with a constitution providing for a multi-party democracy. The population of Cambodia is approximately 14 million. The Royal Government of Cambodia, formed on the basis of elections internationally recognised as free and fair, was established in 1993. Elections are held every five (5) years with the last election held in July 2013.

Cambodia has a relatively open trading regime and joined the World Trade Organisation in 2004. The government's adherence to the global market, freedom from exchange controls and unrestricted capital movement makes Cambodia one of the most business friendly countries in the region.

The Cambodian Government has implemented a strategy to create an appropriate investment environment to attract foreign companies, particularly in the mining industry. Cambodia has a modern and transparent mining code and the government is supportive of foreign investment particularly in mining and exploration to help realise the value of its potential mineral value.
