Commentary: 
 
Discovery Metals Limited ('Discovery Metals' or 'Company') announces the renewal 
of  its  seven  Prospecting  Licences  (PLs)  in the Ghanzi district, north-west 
Botswana,  which were originally  granted in July  2008.  As part of the renewal 
process,  the Company  has relinquished  some areas  that, after analysis by the 
Company,  are  not  considered  to  be  prospective.  All areas applied for were 
granted.   The renewed tenements  contain parts of  the Mid Kalahari exploration 
zone and the entire South-west Kalahari exploration zone. 
 
The  Company also holds an additional seven PLs, granted in October 2005, in the 
Ngamiland  District (which  contains the  Boseto Mining  Licence area),  and the 
overall  area now held by Discovery Metals covers 8,877 square kilometres (Table 
1). 
 
The  Company  is  committed  to  progressing  exploration  of all of the renewed 
tenements.   Several  historic  prospects  and  new  and significant geochemical 
anomalies,  including  possible  extensions  of  the  Hana Mining Banana Mineral 
Resource  are exploration targets.  The  recently completed regional geochemical 
and Heli-borne Aeromag programmes will assist the identification of targets. 
 
Discovery  Metals'  Managing  Director,  Brad  Sampson  said  "Renewal  of these 
Prospecting  Licences  is  an  important  milestone  towards our goal of finding 
another  Boseto style  project to  complement the  Boseto copper  project, which 
remains on schedule for commissioning in the first half of 2012." 
 
Table 1 (below) and Figure 2 (attached) provide details of the Company's granted 
tenements in the Kalahari Copperbelt.
