TORONTO, CANADA - Tsodilo Resources Limited (TSX Venture Exchange: TSD) ("Tsodilo" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a general update of its Botswana exploration programs through June 2013.

Xaudum Iron Project

The drilling and the ground geophysical program during June concentrated on northern part of the layered and massive magnetite banded ironstone formation associated with the Xaudum Magnetic Anomaly which is intimately associated with deformed diamictites resembling glacial deposits. These rocks have been identified as being part of a Rapitan type iron-formation both in terms of age and lithology and extend over thirty-five (35) kilometers in a north-south direction and the magnetite bands interbedded with diamictites occur over a width of several (7) kilometers (Figure 1). Rapitan-type iron-formations are Neoproterozoic (0.8-0.6 Ga) iron-formations that are characterized by their distinct association with glaciomarine sediments. They are thought to have been deposited in the immediate aftermath of a so-called 'Snowball Earth' state. Examples include the Rapitan Group (Canada), the Yudnamutara Subgroup (Australia), the Chuos Formation (Namibia), and the Jacadigo Group (Brazil).

Geophysics

A total of 63.70 line kilometers was covered during the month of June as area totaling 2.53 km2. The expected monthly target is 360 line kilometers for the month and the shortfall is largely attributed to machine malfunction of all units. All magnetometer machines were sent back to the manufacturer for repair and software upgrades.

The ground magnetic survey was concentrated around the southern tip of the XIF body near the village of Nxamasere. A crew of two was employed to carry out the ground magnetic survey while the directional survey was carried out by the field geophysicist.



Drilling

The present drilling program is focused on the northern part of the Xaudum Magnetite Iron Formation close to Shakawe (Fig.2). The iron deposit project is now moved into an evaluation stage focused on detailed drilling to arrive at an inferred resource.



During this phase holes are drilled at 50 meter intervals and on lines 200 meter or 400 meter apart. Detailed e-logs are produced and hole inclination, core orientation, magnetic susceptibility and density measurements are taken. The alpha and beta readings for orientated core from inclined holes are measured in the Maun hangar using a specially designed instrument. After the completion of this procedure the core is cut in half with one half sent to one of the assay laboratories for analyses. Density measurements are taken of each sample by weighing and establishing the volume of each sample. One half remains in Maun and can be quartered to be used for other studies e.g. petrography, geochronology, with the remaining quarter remaining behind as reference.

In June, five (5) holes were drilled for a total of 955.40 meters while the meters of core extracted amounted to 879.40 (Table 1). All holes were drilled inclined at -60° (2 holes direction 90˚ E and 3 holes direction 270˚ W).



Directional surveys

The directional survey continued during the month using the Reflex Gyro instruments. A total of three holes were surveyed. The details for the holes surveyed in the month of June are shown in Table 2.

*Collar coordinates are the drilled coordinates not the planned coordinates

Magnetic susceptibility measurements

Susceptibility values were recorded on site using a Kappameter, a portable pocket susceptibility meter manufactured by SatisGeo. Readings were taken on the NQ size core every 50 centimeters. Magnetic susceptibility data were recorded from five holes during the month (Table 3).



Logging

Holes 1821B116W78T, 1821B118E83X, 1821B118W83X1, 1821B118W83X2 and 1821B116E78T were logged in June. Drilling is now focused on the 1821B118 and 1821B117 fences. Along the 1821B118 fence the magnetite body seems to narrow and eventually pinches out. For this reason magnetite was not intersected in all holes. In the 1821B116 fence five boreholes intersected thick magnetite and from the cross section it seems to be part of a tight recumbent fold which in the eastern side seems to cut by a fault.

Density measurements and orientation work was done in the company's field headquarters in Maun. The density is done at every one meter interval. 1821B115E67U borehole is currently undergoing density measurements and orientation work on holes 1821B116E78U, 1821B116E78W and 1821B116E78V were completed during the month.

No samples were sent to the assay laboratory and no assay results were received during the month

Future work

Details of 7 boreholes along the fences 1821B117 and 1821B118 have been forwarded to the drilling teams as part of the drilling program for July.

Diamond Exploration

The Zambian jig and sample washing facilities was set up at the Maun field office to re-screen the soil samples collected over Prospecting Licence PL95/2012, which is situated SW of the Jwaneng Diamond mine. These jig concentrates will then be forwarded to a heavy mineral laboratory for heavy liquid separation and sorting.

Petrographic descriptions were received during the month for kimberlites K8-B8/1, K21-A36/2 and K8-B8/7.

Kimberlite targets TOD 17, 29 and 30 (PL 46 and 47/2008), and B7 (PL 64/2005) are scheduled to be drilled in the 4^th Q once the MMEWR approves the renewal applications for PL 46 and 47/2008, and PL 64/2005.

Radioactive Minerals Exploration

Dr Bastien Linol (post-doc NMMU) arrived on June 24^th to do detailed field mapping of U-bearing calcretes on the company's radioactive minerals licenses.

Health / Environment / Safety / Community

Community meetings were held in Nxamasere on June 14^th and in Shakawe on June 19^th to provide those communities, where exploration activities were ongoing, an update on the company's activities and to engage the citizenry through public consultation and information disclosure.

Safety

No incidents or accidents were reported during the reporting period.
