Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B For the Quarter ending 31 December 2013
The Board of Eclipse Metals Limited ( “ the Company ”) is pleased to provide the following commentary and Appendix 5B.
Projects
During the quarter, the Company issued upgraded reports to the Australian Stock Exchange ( “ASX”) covering its Iron, Manganese and Uranium project areas in Queensland and Northern Territory.
ECLIPSE METALS LTD Eclipse Metals Limited is an Australian company with a portfolio (over 24,000 km[2] ) of quality iron, manganese, gold, uranium and base metal projects in the highly prospective Archaean and Proterozoic metallogenic provinces of the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales of Australia.
BOARD
A definitive re-assessment of the Yellow Jack resource was commissioned to bring it into line with new JORC Code rules to determine if a stand-alone or joint venture mining operation could be viable.
The Mary Valley tenements have been the subject of an approach by parties interested in conducting an exploration programme to assess the size and overall grade of manganese deposits with a view to developing a mining and shipping operation. Details will be announced when negotiations have progressed.
The Northern Territory tenements, both granted and under application, covering areas prospective for uranium are now the subject of an approach for joint venture or acquisition. Negotiations are on-going.
