~~GOLD DISCOVERY at Aurora Tank 100% owned~~

  • Aurora Tank is situated 50km NE of the Challenger gold mine

  • In September 2016, Marmota commenced its first drilling program at Aurora Tank

  • More than 178 intersections greater than 1g/t gold, all close to the surface, including:

AGM UPDATE

  • Marmota’s tenements are significantly underexplored = more potential

(not old ground that has already been overworked): see next diagram

  • Woomera prohibited area: desirable area of exploration focus[1 ]

  • Highly prospective geology

  • Significantly underdrilled in comparison to WA goldfields

1 Bloomberg (19 June 2015): Bombed, Blasted, Nuked: Outback may yield $27 billion in minerals,

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)

  • At opening: one of Australia’s most profitable 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

– Uranium … Coming back

AGM UPDATE

~~Marmota Uranium JORC Resource~~

Marmota is particularly well-placed for any upturn in the uranium sector, with:

  • Existing uranium JORC Resource that the Company spent millions of dollars to develop in prior years, and

  • Located adjacent to one of only

  • 4 permitted mines in Australia.

==> picture [402 x 366] intentionally omitted <==

Location of Junction Dam and Honeymoon Mine

  • JORC Inferred Resource of 5.4 million pounds U3O8 with average grade of 557ppm U3O8 [ ASX:MEU 18 July 2013 ]

  • Overall Exploration Target of 22–33 million pounds* U3O8

  • Grades of up to 8143ppm U3O8 at the Saffron deposit

Board is watching this space with interest

  • Saffron deposit with Bridget and Yolanda prospects: see ASX:MEU 9 July 2012.

24

  • The uranium price has been rising

  • Sentiment appears to be returning to the sector

  • Uranium prices have increased by about 35% to around US$28.50 per pound (A$39 per pound) in the last 6 months

Uranium Spot price: Six month

Uranium Spot Price: Longer term

Cautionary Statement

Estimates of exploration target sizes mentioned above should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as estimates of Mineral Resources. The estimates of exploration target sizes are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient results received from drilling completed to date to estimate a Mineral Resource compliant with the JORC Code (2004) guidelines. Furthermore, it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Forward Looking Statement

This report may contain forward looking statements that are subject to risk factors which are based on MEU’s expectations relating to future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties 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 after the date of this release.

Competent Persons Statement

Information in this exploration update relating to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Dr Kevin Wills, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation, metallurgical testwork and types of deposits under consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “ Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.” Dr Wills consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
