Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B For the Quarter ending 30 June 2013

The Board of Eclipse Metals Limited (“ the Company ”) is pleased to provide the following commentary and Appendix 5B.

Exploration Activities

BOARD

Carl Popal Director

Peter Landau Director

David Sanders Director

COMPANY SECRETARY

During the quarter the Board received the preliminary tenement assessment performed by consultant geologists including CSA Global and is in the process of reviewing the recommendations provided.

The tenement assessment performed has confirmed that several of the Company’s tenements and those of its partially owned subsidiary Walla Mines are prospective for uranium, gold, manganese, and iron with further geological investigation warranted. The assessment also recommended relinquishment of some tenement groups and accordingly one tenement was relinquished during the quarter and other tenements may be relinquished when relevant anniversaries occur.

In commenting on these results, Executive Director Carl Popal stated, “We are pleased to have received independent positive results from the Eclipse Metals tenement review with clear recommendations for tenements to be retained or relinquished. Based on the results, we can now focus on the more prospective areas and develop an exploration strategy for the Company going forward.”

The Company has reviewed and evaluated all granted exploration licences with several prospective areas identified, including the West Bachelor Uranium Project in the Northern Territory, the Moonford Iron Project in Queensland (held by Walla Mines), and the Yellow Jack Gold Project in Queensland (held by Walla Mines).

An historic review of the West Bachelor Project has outlined two iron prospects within the exploration licence area, with significant hematite identified at the unconformity between the Depot Creek Sandstone and the Burrell Creek Formation. Assay results of a chip sample from this area returned 61.8% Fe with 0.19% P. These prospects are located within the highly prospective Pine Creek Geosyncline where extensive uranium channel anomalies have also been delineated through interpretation of airborne survey data.

Historic review of the Moonford Iron Project includes approximately 17.6km[2] of geology indicative of the presence of iron mineralisation. Previous drilling resulted in near surface mineralisation ranging from 43% - 57.6% iron oxide (Fe2O3).

An historic review of the Yellow Jack Gold Project produced a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource down to a 50 metre vertical depth of 855,000t at 1.41 g/t Au (38,760 ounces contained) with gold recoveries ranging from 65% to high 90’s%.

The Board is currently identifying tenements to prioritise for future exploration activities and to determine which tenements the Company may seek to divest. The Company is also actively seeking joint venture partners for its various exploration projects in order to expedite definition of any known resources within the licence areas.

Corporate

To provide the Company with funding to progress its existing tenement portfolio and take advantage of other complementary activities in the resources sector that may arise, the Company undertook a renounceable entitlements issue during the quarter.

The entitlements issue was underwritten and offered to existing shareholders on the basis of two new shares for every one share held at an offer price of 0.5 cents per share. During the quarter a total of 280,000,052 shares were issued comprising acceptances received from shareholders and additional shares allocated from the shortfall in consultation with the underwriter.

The Board is also considering other opportunities in the resources sector that may arise.

For and on behalf of the Board.
