Activities Report and Appendix 5B

For the Quarter ending 30 September 2019

HIGHLIGHTS

  • On-county meetings with traditional owners and with NLC legal representatives has progressed the process for approval for granting of Devil’s Elbow exploration licences.

  • Analysis of results from historical regional exploration in the Ngalia Basin and planning future exploration is ongoing.

NORTHERN TERRITORY: URANIUM TENEMENTS

Devil’s Elbow Project (ELA’s 27584, 31065, 31770-772)

The Company has attended “on-country” meetings with the Northern Land Council (NLC), Traditional Owners and their legal representatives to progress the approval for the granting process. Advice on this process is expected in the near future.

Exploration Licence 32080, Ngalia Basin

This EL, adjacent to granted EL 24808, Cusack’s Bore, has been granted, providing additional ground covering known paleochannels in the northern part of Ngalia Basin.

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.

BOARD

Rodney Dale Non-Executive Chairman

Carl Popal Non-Executive Director

Ibrar Idrees Non-Executive Director

COMPANY SECRETARY

A gravity survey within the Cusack’s Bore EL late in 2018, identified nearly 20 linekilometres of probable paleochannel targets for uranium and vanadium mineralisation.

In the Ngalia Basin, applications for EL’s 31499 to 31502 and 32077 to 32079, which combined cover an aggregate 400 line-kilometres of probable paleochannels prospective for uranium and vanadium, are progressing through the statutory channels. Applications for EL’s 24623 and 26487 (Yuendi project area) with an area of 1,750sqkm, on the north-western side of the Ngalia Basin are presently in a moratorium period.

Minerals Outlook

The uranium market has shown signs of life over recent months with a minor firming of the spot price.

The vanadium market, after suffering a substantial decline, is again showing signs of recovery. Vanadium is a major constituent of many steel products and has recently been shown to have significant value in the realm of new battery technology.
