The Manager Companies Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000

Dear Sir/Madam

March 2015 Quarterly Report Of Activities

Please find following the March 2015 Quarterly Report of Activities and Cashflow for Bass Metals Limited (ASX:BSM) ( Bass or the Company ).

1. Overview

Bass Metals’ activities during the period under review, have focussed on:

  • Finalising the conditional sale of its Tasmanian assets.

  • Rationalisation of exploration tenement holdings in Tasmania.

  • Continued review and modelling of remaining Hellyer and Que River resources.

  • Ongoing Care and Maintenance and closure activities at the Que River mine site.

  • Review and discussions pertaining to potential project acquisitions.

2. Que River and Hellyer Resources

The Company’s technical focus within the reported period has continued to be the assessment of potential for viable development of remaining resources in the Que River and Hellyer areas, details of which have been previously reported by the Company. As part of the study, a formal review of the resources has been undertaken by the Company’s Tasmanian geologist, and a scoping study on the potential for open cut and underground mining of the resources has been completed. The base exercise contemplates contract mining of the defined resources and sale of the ore to a third party processer.

As announced on 28 April 2015, the Company has now entered into a 60 day Exclusivity Period with Moreton Resources Limited (“Moreton”)(ASX:MRV) with the aim of divesting its Tasmanian Asset Portfolio to Moreton. The assets in question include the Fossey and Que River Mines, which contain base metals inventories of Zinc and Lead, with a variety of additional precious metals and surrounding exploration tenements.

The terms of Moreton’s conditional offer are subject to completion by Moreton of due diligence investigations on the assets and fulfilment of certain conditions precedent that are typical of this type of transaction. The parties have agreed to work closely together with a view to completing due diligence in late May and finalising the transaction by the end of July 2015. Finalisation will be subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.

It is the board’s opinion that the conditional agreement with Moreton offers value to Bass and its shareholders. The Company will provide further updates on the progress of due diligence in due course.

The Company is currently evaluating a number of acquisition opportunities and looks forward to providing the market with an update once a deal is finalised.

3. Exploration, Tasmania

Whilst focussing on the assessment of the Que River and Hellyer resource, Bass has continued to rationalise its exploration tenement portfolio in Tasmania and review the data collected over many years. The Company has relinquished some areas which are considered to be of low potential The plan below outlines the exploration areas now retained by the Company.

4. Environmental activities, Tasmania

The Company continued to maintain its Care and Maintenance plan for the Que River site during the quarter. Environmental management at the Que River site focussed on the rehabilitation of the surface areas of the site, with significant progress being achieved in clean up, covering and re-seeding of previously disturbed areas. Daily field testing and environmental laboratory testing continued throughout the period as per the site’s Care and Maintenance Plan.

5. LionGold Litigation

As previously advised, the litigation between the Company and LionGold Corporation has been placed on the commercial list in the Supreme Court of Western Australia and a compulsory mediation between the parties was been ordered by the Supreme Court some time ago. The Company continues to be frustrated by the lack of action from LionGold in relation to arranging an appropriate date for this mediation, and is examining legal options to expedite the ordered mediation. The board will continue to pursue satisfactory settlement of its litigation with LionGold.

The Company is continuing to evaluate a range of near term production resource assets, and will accelerate this process in the light of the potential arrangement with Moreton Resources on the Hellyer assets. The board looks forward to updating the market once a deal is finalised.
