Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B For the Quarter ending 31 December 2017

HIGHLIGHTS

• Diamond Drilling commenced on Mary Valley Manganese Project

QUEENSLAND - MARY VALLEY MANGANESE PROJECT

During the quarter the Company progressed detailed planning and permitting procedures for drill testing of the manganese prospects in the Mary Valley Project, Queensland (Figures 1 and 2). The aim of this program is to gain better understanding of the extent of manganese mineralisation, its mineralogy and grade distribution.

The drill sites were prepared and a contractor commenced diamond drilling based on combined geological and gravimetric geophysical data. Drilling ceased during the festive season and only recommenced early in January 2018; hence no results will be available before the end of the quarter.

The Company is targeting extensions to known high grade mineralisation in historic mine workings, in particular at Amamoor (refer ASX releases dated 15 March and 8 June 2017).

Metallurgical characterisation of the manganese concentrates from surface samples determined that most of these products appear to be suitable for ferroalloy smelting, with some samples returning effectively DSO grades above 40% Mn. Concentrate phosphorous contents are all acceptably low, being below the 0.2% limit generally imposed. The iron contents are low, but this can be compensated for in ferroalloy smelters by adding iron ore to the furnace feed mix or by blending with high grade iron ores.

FUTURE EXPLORATION

The Company will assess the results of the current drilling as they come to hand during the current quarter and will continue its exploration of other prospects such as Skyring Creek, Skyring North and Donaldson’s. These prospects, in addition to the Amamoor and Eel Creek prospects, appear to have potential to contain significant quantities of manganese mineralisation. Other manganese prospects will be progressively evaluated. The company is assessing new technology that may be suitable for quick extensional exploration of the manganiferous horizons at depth.

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.

RTX was unable to facilitate this site survey prior to the commencement of the wet season in the Northern Territory, and this activity is now expected to take place 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

Replacement applications (ELA’s 31770-31772) for some Liverpool tenure were submitted during the quarter. Applications for the Flying Fox and Pozieres areas were relinquished. No field activity was performed during the quarter (refer Figure 3).
