Exploration Programme update

Further to the announcement on 22 Nov 2011, Creat Resources Holdings Limited (the "Company") (AIM: CRHL) is pleased to announce the first batch sample results from the 2012 drilling program on EL30 and EL20, located in the West of Tasmania, Australia.

The Company's 2012 drilling program continues from the 2011 program was designed to test a mineralized zone extending along strike east of known mineralisation found within the Comstock Retention Licence and confirm potential new Lead-Zinc resources at the Austral Project in EL20.

Three diamond drill holes were completed with results which confirm the handheld XRF readings taken previously, as follows:

Comstock East Project

Two diamond drill holes have been completed at the Comstock East Prospect, SY159 and SY160. These holes were designed to test the possible extension of the known Boss mineralised zone within the Comstock Retention Licence, further to the east. CRHL holds a NWW trending mineralized zone between the Stellar Resources Ltd Queen Hill Tin Project and the recently acquired RMG Ltd Stonehenge lease. This mineralized zone continues to the western boundary of the Company's EL20/2002 lease.

Prior to these two holes being completed the most easterly hole drilled was SY011 which had a mineralised intersection of 3.66% Lead and 10.97% Zinc over 5m from 152m. SY159, the first hole drilled is approximately 400m east along strike from SY011. Diamond drill hole SY160 located another 230m eastof SY159 also intersected two narrow zones of mineralisation. It appears the mineralised zone is shallowing towards the east and splaying closer to the surface into multiple zones, which recommended that future drilling be completed between SY011 and SY159 to further confirm the zone.

Austral Project

Two more diamond drill holes were completed at this project to test further known mineralised zones at Austral. AU002 was drilled in the Austral valley to the west under historical drill hole ZT-79-1A. AU002 confirms the down dip continuation of the mineralised zone located in the earlier hole as well as intersecting an unknown secondary zone further down hole. It also demonstrates continuity along strike from AU001. This drill hole indicates increased thickness, down dip, of the mineralised zone. Although lead and zinc values are lower the anomalous zinc values are consistent with previous drilling. The potential for high grade lead and zinc in a mineralized zone appears possible at depth after careful consideration of the geology.

The further drill hole to test down dip continuity from AU001 and AU002 could be warranted. Also a further diamond drill hole, AU004, has been planned and approved which is positioned to the north east of AU002 to test the extent of the zone along strike.
