Crocodile Gold Announces New Uranium Targets Identified by Joint Venture Partner

Thursday, Feb 11, 2010

Crocodile Gold Corp. today announces that eight high priority uranium targets have been identified by interpretation of data from a detailed low level airborne radiometric and magnetic survey completed by its joint venture partner, Thundelarra Exploration Ltd ("Thundelarra") on certain properties located 140 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Crocodile Gold has an agreement with Thundelarra, signed in September 2007, in which Thundelarra has the right to explore for uranium on certain Crocodile Gold tenements while Crocodile Gold retains all other metal rights including precious metals and base metals. Thundelarra holds a 70% interest until development and must incur a minimum AUS$250,000 in exploration expenditures per year for the first three years and has the right to apply for a mining tenement on behalf of the joint venture. Crocodile Gold has a 30% free carried interest until development through the agreement with Thundelarra. The location of the properties included in the joint venture can be viewed in Figure 1 below.

The Thunderball uranium prospect ("Thunderball") (refer to Figure 1 below for location) has previously been identified and is the only target that has been subject to extensive drilling. Highlights of previously announced drill results include:

--  1 metre of 20.3% U3O8 within 15 metres of 1.5% U3O8
--  4.6 metres of 8.0% U3O8 within 11 metres of 3.4% U3O8
--  12 metres of 0.62% U3O8
--  3 metres of 0.66% U3O8

To view full drill results, refer to Crocodile Gold press releases dated January 18, 2010, December 17, 2009, November 9, 2009 and September 28, 2009.

The airborne radiometric and magnetic survey is the most detailed survey that has been completed to date in the region. It has outlined new radiometric anomalies and has better defined several previously identified targets. The survey included 5,235 line kilometres spaced at 25 metre intervals and a 20 metre mean terrain clearance.

Thundelarra is preparing for a major drilling program which it expects to commence on April 2, 2010, and includes resource definition drilling and extensional drilling at Thunderball.
