Highlights

  • Field examination has confirmed substantial deposits of manganese mineralisation in the Mary Valley tenements.

PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS

  • An area of about 13 sq km was observed to contain extensive manganese mineralisation, previously unknown in the area between the Mt Mooloo and Eel Creek manganese prospects.

Level 3, 1060 Hay Street West Perth WA 6005 Phone: + 61 8 9480 0420 Fax: + 61 8 9321 0320

  • Amamoor Ridge with its manganese deposits and old workings has a strike length of over 2 km and width of 400 metres trending NNW towards the Mt Mooloo and Eel Creek mined areas in an almost continuous straight line.

AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS NUMBER 85 142 366 541

  • Examination has identified two distinct mined zones within the Mary Valley tenements which may represent an extensive strata-bound body of manganese mineralisation between elevations of 120m and 280m.

SHARE REGISTRY Security Transfer Registrars 770 Canning Highway Applecross WA 6153

  • Stronger manganese mineralisation was observed to be closely associated with more deformed and sheared/faulted zones.

  • Twenty one (21) rock chip samples have been collected at various locations and sent for chemical analysis.

  • Approximately 12% of the tenement area has been briefly explored.

The Directors of Eclipse Metals Limited ( “Eclipse Metals” or the “Company’ ) (ASX: EPM) are pleased to announce that initial field exploration has outlined extensive manganese mineralisation on surface in the Mary Valley Manganese Project tenements, worthy of comprehensive exploration programs.

GEOLOGICAL REPORT

The Mary Valley Manganese Project is located approximately 14 kilometres by road southwest of Gympie township and approximately 175 km from Brisbane in Queensland.

==> picture [165 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

Historically, the two exploration permits have yielded over 31,000t of high grade direct shipping ore with assays of 39.5 to 51% Mn from mining operations carried out during the 1920’s and 1960’s. In the past 50 years little to no geological activity has been recorded over the Mary Valley prospects for manganese.

The recently announced ‘commencement of exploration program’ by Eclipse Metals Ltd has covered an area of about 13 sq km within its tenements.

Field examination concentrated on the northern part of the exploration permits, where previous mining has produced high grade manganese ore. Within this area (Reference Map on page 7) it is evident that there are substantial further deposits of high grade, potentially direct shipping ore (DSO) and lower grade beneficiable mineralisation in proximity of the old workings and in strike extensions of known deposits.

Based on the historical high grade ore mined within the Mary Valley manganese area, the grades of manganese and silica levels fall within the DSO parameters for saleable manganese ore from Australia and other countries around the world.

Mt Mooloo Area

The Mt Mooloo historically mined prospect is located at the side of Mt Mooloo at an elevation of over 280 metres. The Company’s geologist collaborating with a local resident and pioneering prospector located a previously unrecorded extensive area of manganese mineralisation exposed through a road cutting (Photo 1) below the Mt Mooloo historic workings. The mineralised zone is over 200 metres in length on a face up to 4.5m in height with major structural deformation and prolific manganese mineralisation at an elevation of 130m.

Behind this road cutting across the strike of the host rock, the manganese mineralisation trends towards an historic manganese quarry, hosting further high grade manganese mineralisation. Photo 2 shows the highly folded bedding with manganese deposition and evidence that manganese deposition is controlled by structural deformation of the host rock. From the base of the road cutting to the top of the mined bench is approximately 8 metres, with mineralisation continuing underfoot.

Photo 2: Old Manganese Mine - Bench height of 4 to 5m of folded manganese mineralisation on Mooloo road The small inset illustrates strongly deformed high grade manganese mineralisation in the mined bench

The historical mined area at Mt Mooloo which yielded 81 tonnes of ore in 1915 is located 1.26 kilometres NE of Photo 2. The elevation of Photo 2 is about 130 metres and the historically mined area has an elevation of approximately 280m. Orientation of the mined bench of NNE in photo 2 is consistent with the strike of the manganese belt along with the historically mined benches at Mt Mooloo.

There were no mines department records of this historical mine site which was located by the Eclipse Metals geologist in collaboration with local pioneering prospectors residing in Mary Valley.

Eel Creek

Historically the Eel Creek mined prospect yielded high grade manganese in small trenches however these workings were only recognised by mullock dumps at the old mined terraces in the side of a low lying hill 2.5km from the Mt Mooloo historical mine site.

The Eel Creek cutting illustrated below in Photo 5 is located 4.7 kilometres from the Mt Mooloo mine-site and 3.5 km north of the Eel Creek mine-site. The country rocks are coarsely-banded jasper and massive quartzite, striking at 335[o]

and dipping at 60[0] to 85[0] E. Minor folds pitch at 75[0] . Historically, the area exhibits manganese lenses which have been offset by cross faults. It is possible that there may be other concealed bodies of manganese separated from known lenses by cross-faults. There is continuous structural deformation, clearly visible in Photo 5.

Amamoor (EPM 17938)

The Amamoor 1, Amamoor 2 and Skying Creek manganese deposits within EPM 17938 are located in the Amamoor rehabilitated state forest. Historical production was 22,602 tonnes of manganese ore at grades of between 45% and 51% Mn up to 1961. The open-cut extends over an area 274m long by 69m wide in a NNW direction. The manganese lenses range in strike from NW to NNE and the concentration of manganese oxides appears to have been determined by strike and transverse faults. The largest lens of mined ore persisted to at least 21m below the natural surface.

More than half the total production of nearly 12,000 tonnes has been mined from the main ore lens which has been worked over a length of 37m and a maximum width of 6m to a depth of 21m. Mined grade of manganese varied from 39.5% - 49.1% Mn with 1.4% to 16.2% SiO2. The lens strikes at 008[0] and dips 75[0] W to vertical. This was terminated on the northern and southern ends by vertically dipping cross faults. The footwall and hanging wall also show evidence of faulting although shale beds overlying the manganese lens appear to be conformable.

At least six other smaller lenses of manganese ore were developed. These ranged from 23m long and 2.4m wide to 12m long and 1.8m wide and persisted to depths of up to 12m with the proportion of reject ore to marketable grade ore usually exceed 2:1 judging by the amount left in waste dumps.

The Amamoor iron and manganese rich ridge is over 2 km in strike length by 400 metres in width , trending NNW towards the Mt Mooloo mined area and Eel Creek mined area in an almost continuous straight line.

The strike of the host rocks within the mined area is consistent with the orientation of the Mary Valley manganese belt. The vertical relief is of particular significance as outcrop was found between 195 m and 280 m elevation. A geochemical soil sample was taken at Waypoint 016 at an elevation of 312 metres which is 977 metres from Photo 7 – Reference Map on page 7)

The second phase of exploration will concentrate on completion of geological mapping, detailed outcrop sampling and a preliminary volumetric survey to facilitate a comprehensive exploration programme to include aerial geophysical surveys and drilling. Receipt of sample analytical results is expected within the next few weeks.

In commenting on these highly encouraging results, Pedro Kastellorizos, Managing Director of Eclipse Metals, said: “We are excited to have received confirmation of abundant visible manganese mineralised zones on the ground. By completing this reconnaissance survey, we are in a stronger position to target the overall mineral potential over this highly prospective manganese mineral field”.

“As part of the company’s overall strategy we are focusing on fast tracking exploration. We look forward to updating the market on further progress with the development at our Projects and to commencing the next stage in the process leading to the definition of an indicated mineral resource.”
