Reinstatement to Trading – Company Update
White Eagle Resources (the Company ) is pleased to advise that its securities will be reinstated to trading from the commencement of trading on Monday, 23 December 2013. The Board provides an update to shareholders on the Company’s financial position and proposed activities at its 100% owned Pardoo exploration licences in Western Australia.
On 28 August 2013 the Company advised it had entered into an agreement with its previous joint venture partner, Segue Resources Limited, to acquire Pardoo Tenements E45/2146 and E45/3464 in the Pilbara region of Western Australia ( Tenements ).
Detailed information of the two exploration licences is available in the Company's prospectus dated 27 September 2013 on the ASX website.
Proposed Activities
Previous exploration on the Tenements as a whole has not been extensive mainly due to the lack of outcrop. The region is largely covered by sediments and windblown sands and was not generally recognised as a prospective Archaean greenstone belt until the late 1980s. Some early exploration for iron ore was undertaken by Sentil Mining Company in the 1960s.
Base metal mineralisation has been identified within the Pardoo Fault zone at the Supply Well prospect. The Project area contains approximately 5km of effective strike of this structural zone and has potential to host additional areas of nickel, copper and zinc mineralisation and may have potential to host platinum group element mineralisation. A number of EM anomalies along the Supply Well trend remain to be tested.
Ten geophysical anomalies over a 5 km strike length within the Supply Well prospect area have been delineated. These anomalies present drill targets for massive and disseminated sulphides. The Supply Well prospect area has had limited exploration and contains some broad intersections of low grade disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation containing narrow high grade nickel sulphides within discrete potentially remobilised zones. A narrow zone of high grade zinc has been intersected by drilling in the western area of the prospect.
The principal exploration target is nickel-zinc sulphide mineralisation associated with the regional east-north-easterly trending Pardoo Fault Zone. The Supply Well prospect is located within this structural zone and previous drilling has intersected significant widths of low-grade

nickel and zinc mineralisation. Exploration targets have been identified from a number of electromagnetic anomalies along this structural zone that remain to be tested. In addition, there is potential for magnetite iron mineralisation and low grade magnetite iron mineralisation has been intersected at the Supply Well prospect.
Predictive modelling for base metal mineralisation carried out by OptiroCapital included a review of major faults, areas of high fault density, magnetic highs, favourable lithology (greenstones), geochemical anomalies and Tem and VTEM targets. The predictive modelling identified:
-
An area of moderate to high prospectivity that remains relatively untested immediately to the southwest of the Supply Well prospect; and
-
Areas in the central and northern part of the project area (to the west of the Supply Well Prospect) identified as low prospectivity targets; these targets are coincident with the edge of a gravity high and with a regional magnetic response.
The Company intends to conduct a staged exploration and evaluation program to test identified exploration targets. The Company has a proposed two-year exploration budget set out below.
