Perth, Australia 20 July 2012 – Elemental Minerals Ltd. (ASX, TSX: ELM) ("Elemental" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling of exploration borehole ED_01 at the Dougou target. This extensive target was identified by the integration of recently acquired high resolution oil seismic data and oil borehole data.

HIGHLIGHTS

*The recently discovered high grade (>30% K2O) Hangingwall Seam is the principal target at Dougou. Drill hole ED_01 planned to confirm sylvinite mineralisation intersected by historical borehole K-52.

* Dougou Target lies on existing planned infrastructure corridor 15km southwest of Kola and 21km from the planned Tchiboula port facility.

Two historic drill holes, located about 9km apart, have well completion reports that indicate the presence of multiple sylvinite horizons. These included K-52 and K-38 (Figures 1 and 2). The area between K-52 and K-38 opens a significant opportunity to explore and discover further high-grade potash seams over a large area. The area is largely untested. No assay data is available for these boreholes.
