Pluton Resources Limited (ASX:PLV) Updates On The Irvine Island Drilling Programme

Melbourne, Mar 11, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Management are pleased to announce that drilling by Pluton Resources Limited (ASX:PLV) has intersected a continuation of visible iron mineralisation west of the current Inferred Resource on Hardstaff Peninsula, Irvine Island, Western Australia (E04/1172).

Drilling by Pluton Resources Ltd on Irvine Island is targeting an extension of the current Inferred Resource of 54Mt @ 49% iron (Fe) within the primary Yampi Member target horizon. Assay results are pending. However, the intersection of the Yampi Member in drill hole Y2-12 on the western side of Hardstaff Peninsula confirms the extension of iron mineralisation west and outside of the current Inferred Resource area.

Drilling on the western side of Hardstaff Peninsula has also intersected visually better than expected iron mineralisation in the Wonganin Sandstones. The Wonganin Sandstones overlie the Yampi Member. They are of generally lower grade than the Yampi Member but have been shown by the CSIRO to yield additional iron as a concentrate grading >66% iron (Fe).

"Intersecting iron in Hole Y2-12 was critical to Pluton meeting its target of >100Mt from Hardstaff Peninsula. These visual results give us great confidence that our projections can be met." said Managing Director, Mr Tony Schoer.

Assay results for the fist two holes in the program are imminent, and will be released once received.

Drilling is ongoing. Ground conditions encountered during drilling are variable but progress remains steady.
