Eastern Iron Limited (ASX: EFE) is pleased to report on activities undertaken during the quarter ended 31[st] December 2015.

INVESTMENT BY FORTUNE FUTURE HOLDINGS LTD

Subsequent to the approval of Eastern Iron shareholders at the recent Annual General Meeting held on December 10, 2015, the previously announced (ASX release 23 September 2015) share placement to Fortune Future Holdings has been completed. Fortune has invested $2 million dollars in Eastern Iron Limited and now holds 46.6% of the issued shares.

Fortune nominated two experienced mining executives as non-executive directors. These are:

• Mr Dahui Zhang, an Australian resident who has previously served on the board of Australian listed mining company Focus Minerals Ltd and was a senior member of the team at Sino Gold Mining Limited. He is currently Managing Director of CMOC Mining Pty Ltd and CMOC Mining Services Pty Ltd.

• Mr Yungang Wu, an experienced geologist who resides in Canada and is currently a nonexecutive director of GoWest Gold Ltd (TSXV:GWA).

Both Mr Zhang and Mr Wu have since been appointed to the Board of Eastern Iron. The purpose of the investment in Eastern Iron by Fortune will be to use the Company as a vehicle to secure major near-development or operating mining projects in Australia and elsewhere. The Company has commenced actively reviewing opportunities and will be assisted in the acquisition and development phase by companies related to Fortune.

Fortune has a small number of shareholders and represents the interests of private Chinese investors who are significant shareholders in listed mining companies in China. Fortune is an active investor in the global mining industry and is currently the largest shareholder of GoWest Gold Ltd, a Toronto-listed gold explorer.

NOWA NOWA IRON PROJECT

Little work has been undertaken on the Nowa Nowa project during the quarter. However, the Company will continue to monitor conditions in the global iron ore market to determine when work on the project can recommence.

Under applicable Victorian legislation all exploration licenses (EL’s) have a maximum term of 10 years and then need to be surrendered. As a result, the Nowa Nowa EL was surrendered in mid2015 and a replacement EL applied for over the Nowa Nowa project area. In October, 2015 the Company was advised that the application was accepted and given the highest priority ranking, thus giving the Company confidence that the tenement will in due course be granted. Upon grant the Company will continue investigation of the VTEM and copper anomalies reported in late 2014.
