Activities Report and Appendix 5B for the Quarter ending 31 December 2016
MARY VALLEY PROJECT – GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
During November and December 2016, further exploration was conducted on the Eclipse Metals Mary Valley manganese project area in Queensland (Figure 1), using innovative geophysical survey methods on advanced prospects selected through initial geological evaluation. Based on preliminary results, further geophysical surveys are scheduled to be carried out in January and February 2017.

The Amamoor, Upper Kandanga and Eel Creek historical mines and surrounding areas (locations in Figure 2) were surveyed using detailed geophysical gravity and passive seismic methods. These surveys were conducted to evaluate the resource potential of projected extensions to known high grade manganese mineralisation, previously observed and sampled during two periods of geological fieldwork (for Amamoor refer Figures 3 and 4 and Upper Kandanga Figure 5). These prospects were previously worked as high grade mines and the company considers that further mineralisation with potential for production of direct shipping ore (DSO) products can be developed in these old mining areas.

Preliminary geophysical results indicate there is potential for significant extension of mineralisation in the Amamoor and Eel Creek prospects and further work is scheduled for late January to confirm this potential. Initial data from all surveys is presently being collated and will be interpreted upon receipt of data from the currently scheduled programme.
