QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT 1st July – 30th September 2010

Marathon Resources Limited (ASX: “MTN”) is pleased to present its Activity Report for the Quarter ending 30[th] September 2010. Highlights of the past Quarter include:

Geological mapping and structural interpretation

Detailed geological mapping on EL4355 recommenced on 10th July 2010, following the approval of a new Declaration of Environmental Factors (DEF) by the Department of Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA).

The mapping and interpretation focused on several steeply dipping shear systems associated with uranium mineralisation. This included re-mapping and re-interpretation of some previous Bons’ mapping areas (Figure 2). These shear systems may represent the elusive “feeder systems” from the underlying granites.

Spectrometer sampling

Marathon commenced detailed ground-based spectrometer samplings (spectrum analysis of insitu rocks) over several anomalous areas. These areas were identified by the radiometrics from the September 2009 survey. The results highlight the strong correlation between the radiometric and geochemical profiles with anomalous areas up to 1% uranium. Spectrometer samplings have also been carried out over known deposits such as Mt Gee and Armchair for mineralisation comparisons. Laboratory assays of specific reading areas were also conducted to validate the spectrometer readings. Strong similarities between the laboratory assays and the spectrometer readings were observed.
