www.eclipseuranium.com.au Eclipse Metals Ltd is an Australian exploration company focused on exploring the Northern Territory and Queensland for multi commodity mineralisation. The company has an impressive portfolio of assets prospective for gold, manganese, base metals and uranium mineralisation. The Company’s mission is to increase Shareholder wealth through capital growth and ultimately, dividends. Eclipse plans to achieve this goal by exploring for and developing viable mineral deposits to generate mining or joint venture income.
Activities Report and Appendix 5B for the June 2018 Quarter
HIGHLIGHTS
-
320.7m of Diamond Drilling completed on Mary Valley Manganese Project
-
High grade intersections of 59.8% MnO over 3.2m, 5.9% MnO over 6m and 20.9% MnO over 3.4m from diamond core drilling at Amamoor
-
Further surface samples of high grade manganese mineralization found which with 8.6m of 7.0% MnO in drill hole in SE gravity anomaly extend the prospective area

AMAMOOR
In this part of the Amamoor State Forest on a steep sided ridge, the original forest has been invaded by exotic weeds and undergrowth. Large sections of the forest have been cleared and replaced with planatations of hoop pine. Access was gained via existing forestry tracks and by clearing exotic weeds from previously excavated tracks and mining benches.

REGISTERED OFFICE
Geological and sample analytical results from the diamond drilled core together with progressively re-moddelled geophysical data is being used to better understand the depositional structure of manganese mineralisation to facilitate design of follow-up exploration.
Follow-up programs are expected to include more detailed gravity and possibly induced polarisation (IP) surveys to better define drill targets.
EEL CREEK
Following collation and evaluation of all results from geophysical surveys and diamond drilling further exploration will be deferred for the immediate future.
FUTURE EXPLORATION
Evaluation of results from the recent drilling program and further geological and geophysical assessment is ongoing. The next phase of exploration, include further drilling at Amamoor, targeting high grade mineralisation down-dip and along strike from these shallow intersections, is being planned.

MARY VALLEY TENEMENTS
In the light of recent exploration and reconnaissance evaluation of outlying areas, the Company is evaluating its tenement area with a view to relinquishing some sections to contain costs and future commitments.

NORTHERN TERRITORY: DEVILS ELBOW- RIO TINTO FARM-IN / JV ELA 27584
Under the farm-in and joint venture arrangement with Eclipse, Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) is continuing to pursue an arrangement with the Northern Land Council (NLC) for a site anthropological survey to determine consent and non-consent areas by Traditional Owners to facilitate the application procedure. This activity is now expected to take place later in the 2018 field season. Following the results of the site survey a final meeting will be planned with the NLC Executive for endorsement of these areas by Traditional Owners.

NORTHERN TERRITORY: OTHER TENEMENTS
No field activity was performed during the quarter (refer Figure 5 for NT tenure).
Preparations are underway for a Section 42 (Aboriginal Land Rights (NT) Act) meeting in late August between Traditional Owners, Eclipse Metals Ltd, and the Central Land Council (CLC), where a Company representative from Eclipse Metals will be able to present the exploration proposal for EL applications 31499-502 in the Ngalia Basin.
The Company has recently been granted ministerial consent to negotiate with Traditional Owners through the NLC with respect to EL applications 31770-772 at its Liverpool project, surrounding ELA27584, and is progressing its response under Section 41 of the Act, due in August.
Planned field activities, including a gravity survey on EL24808, have been hindered by lack of documentation available from the CLC on the tenure. This is despite the CLC having noted that a sacred site clearance had been conducted for Cauldron Energy, a predecessor company of Eclipse Metals, in 2011 as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report from that year. The Company is continuing to address this issue.
