~~GOLD DISCOVERY at Aurora Tank 100% owned �~~
-
Aurora Tank is located 50km NE of the Challenger Gold Mine (ASX:WPG)
-
In September 2017, Marmota reported outstanding 1m intersec2ons including 101 g/t gold (with duplicate samples at 85g/t and 93 g/t, averaging 93 g/t)
==> picture [763 x 292] intentionally omitted <==
-
More than 117 intersecFons greater than 1 g/t gold

AGM UPDATE
Our goal: Find the next Challenger Gold Mine … �
-
Challenger (right) has produced over 1 million
-
ounces of high-grade gold
(A$1.7 billion of gold at current prices)
-
gold mines[1]
-
Discovered by drilling calcrete gold anomalies
-
(as was Aurora Tank)
-
Marmota has a dominant tenement holding
-
around Challenger
-
We are seeking the next Challenger or look-alike

16
Calcrete sampling in the Gawler Craton
Marmota’s tenements are significantly underexplored
17
Most of Marmota’s Gawler Craton ground is blanketed by a thin . veneer of residual or transported surface cover
This is an advantage because:
-
It means the old-timers / prospectors would not have been able to find whatever riches may be lying underneath
-
Thin layer of soft cover = cheap to drill
18
Gold-in-Calcrete: Peak 500 to 1000ppb Au but generally 0 to 100ppb

What’s Next?
AGM UPDATE
-
Challenger was found by drilling calcrete gold anomalies
-
Aurora Tank was found by drilling calcrete gold anomalies
-
gold-in-calcrete zones … (but not drill tested them yet)
-
Most are now drill-test ready
-
Just some clearances and that body of work is ready to go.
-
We look forward to being able to make announcements soon …

Cau2onary Statement
EsFmates of exploraFon target sizes menFoned above should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as esFmates of Mineral Resources. The esFmates of exploraFon target sizes are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient results received from drilling completed to date to esFmate a Mineral Resource compliant with the JORC Code (2004) guidelines. Furthermore, it is uncertain if further exploraFon will result in the determinaFon of a Mineral Resource.

This report may contain forward looking statements that are subject to risk factors which are based on MEU’s expectaFons relaFng to future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainFes and other factors, many of which are outside the control of MEU, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. MEU makes no undertaking to update or revise the forward-looking statements made in this report to reflect events or circumstances aler the date of this release.
Competent Persons Statement
InformaFon in this exploraFon update relaFng to ExploraFon Targets, ExploraFon Results and Mineral Resources is based on informaFon compiled by Dr Kevin Wills, who is a Member of the Australasian InsFtute of Mining and Metallurgy. He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisaFon, metallurgical testwork and types of deposits under consideraFon and to the acFviFes being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 EdiFon of the “ Australasian Code of ReporFng of ExploraFon Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.” Dr Wills consents to the inclusion in this report of the mamers based on his informaFon in the form and context in which it appears.
