QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT DECEMBER QUARTER 2020

100% owned Aurora Tank Gold Discovery

September RC Drilling Program

On 4 November 2020, Marmota reported initial 4m composite results from the Aurora Tank RC drilling program completed in September 2020. [ ASX:MEU 4 Nov 2020 ]

• ! Drilling yielded outstanding high-grade gold intersections including:

• 4m @ 70 g/t gold (from 64m downhole) [ Hole 20ATRC324 ]

• 4m @ 25 g/t gold (from 52m downhole) [ Hole 20ATRC224 ]

• ! High-grade extensions to the North [ for detail: see ASX:MEU 4 Nov 2020 ]

• ! High-grade extensions at depth

Detailed 1m split assay results are expected imminently.

Aurora Tank Ecological Study

In December 2020, Marmota’s first ever environmental study at Aurora Tank was carried out with the arrival of a specialist ecology team. The survey (fauna and flora) is a necessary component for a Mining Lease application and production pathway at Aurora Tank. The study appears to have been very successful.

Aurora Tank Marmota finds water source

Fig. 2: Underground water gushes out from new Bore Hole 1 at Aurora Tank

• ! Marmota has successfully sourced underground water in BOTH bore holes drilled , with impressive indicative water flow rate of 5 litres per second in Bore Hole 1 ( Fig. 2), and a flow rate of 1 litre per second in Bore Hole 2 .

• ! Water is a critical component for intended planned diamond drilling and to feed a heap leach operation. Further work to complete the bores to contractual specification and install pumping equipment are the next steps.

• ! 2 x 20,000L water storage tanks have been installed.

Aurora Tank Camp

The camp at Aurora Tank is providing enormous utility to the company. The provision of air-conditioning facilities has enabled us to operate even during the hot season; the camp has been running at close to full capacity for almost all of December (until the end of year break) and again for almost all of January.

The new 2021 year got off to a very active and early start: on 8 January 2021, Marmota sent a team of 4 to carry out one of our largest and most interesting sampling programs, over both the wider Aurora Tank tenement and surrounding tenements. This work is being jointly funded by the South Australian Government under the Accelerated Discovery Initiative. The first team has been enduring temperatures of up to 45° C and the Company extends its grateful appreciation to the team, in particular to meet the timelines of the funding program. They are still on site implementing the sampling program. A second team is expected to arrive in two days time. Full details of the program will be provided shortly, when Stage 1 is completed and the team has returned to Adelaide.

Gawler Craton Gold 100% owned

Marmota’s Aurora Tank gold discovery is located about 100km SW of Coober Pedy, and 50km NE of the Challenger Gold Mine, in the Woomera Prohibited Defence Area of South Australia [ see Fig. 3 ].

Summary details are provided on pages 1 to 3 of this Quarterly Report.

Marmota was recently awarded a $225,000 grant by the South Australian Government under the Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI) [ ASX:MEU 24 June 2020 ]. Further work funded by that grant commenced during the quarter, including a program of calcrete and biogeochemical sampling on the Aurora Tank tenement and surrounding, and an R&D component modelling surface expressions of geochemical/biogeochemical anomalism in relation to underlying mineralisation, including at Aurora Tank. The program is ongoing.

Marmota is actively refining the Company’s substantial tenement holding as our exploration team works through our tenement holding, adding ground and/or relinquishing as deemed desirable.

COPPER Copper Coast – Yorke Peninsula

Tenement	Name	MEU Holding
EL 5832	West Melton	100%

• Champion Copper (EL 5832) is situated on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia approximately 50km north of Rex Minerals Ltd Hillside copper-gold deposit.

URANIUM Junction Dam project

Tenement	Name	MEU Holding
EL6530	Junction Dam	100% of uranium

Junction Dam is strategically located 15 km east from the Honeymoon (ASX:BOE) insitu recovery (ISR) uranium mine (west of Broken Hill) [ see Fig. 4 ]

Page 5

ASX: MEU

Marmota has:

• JORC Inferred Resource of 5.4 million pounds U3O8

• with average grade of 557ppm U3O8 [ ASX:MEU 18 Nov 2011, 20 Feb 2012, 17 July 2013 ]

• Overall Exploration Target[1] of 22–33 million pounds U3O8 at approx. 400 to 700 ppm U3O8

• Assay grades of up to 8,143ppm U3O8 at the Saffron deposit

==> picture [397 x 367] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Location of Junction Dam

The MEU Board recently commenced a strategic review of its uranium assets to add value to shareholders. [ ASX:MEU 11 June 2020 ]

Marmota is particularly well-placed for an upturn in the uranium sector, with an existing uranium JORC Resource that the Company spent millions of dollars to develop in prior years, and which is located adjacent to one of only 4 permitted mines in Australia. The Board is watching this space with interest.

1 Saffron deposit with Bridget and Yolanda prospects: see ASX:MEU 9 July 2012. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. The estimates of Exploration Targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as estimates of Mineral Resources. It is uncertain if further exploration over those zones currently defined by an Exploration Target will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
