EL 4355 Mt Gee South Australia

Declaration of Environmental Factors

In accordance with the new conditions attached to EL 4355 Marathon lodged a DEF with PIRSA. The first DEF was submitted in November 2009 to obtain permission to conduct low-impact, non-invasive exploration activities including geological mapping on foot, stream sediment sampling on foot and helicopter supported ground gravity surveying. The DEF was resubmitted in April 2010 in response to comments from PIRSA and DEH.

Re-logging and photographing of previous drill holes

In a data assessment program, 11 Exoil holes, 3 Marathon holes, 45 CRA holes and 31 underground holes were re-examined and 9,292 metres of core were photographed. Some of these holes were re-logged and re-assayed. The program was designed to confirm different types of uranium mineralisation identified during the mapping program. Mineralisation in the Mt Painter region shows a number of distinctive structural characteristics and geochemical signatures. They possibly represent various mineralised structures with different concentrations of Cu, Mo and rare earth elements.

EL 4052 Blanchetown South Australia

A Heli-borne magnetic and radiometric survey was completed over six areas near Blanchetown, South Australia (EL 4052). Each area is approximately two square kilometres. The survey lines are north-south oriented at 25 metre spacing’s. The object of the survey was to define magnetic strand lines that may be associated with economic concentrations of heavy mineral sands. To highlight these magnetic trends, several filters have been applied to the data. Figure 2 is an example of a hybrid image from Area 2, which highlights some linear features that potentially could be tested for heavy mineral strand lines.

The results will be analysed further for consideration of the tenements ongoing potential for exploration.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results has been compiled by Dr Phung Nguyen, a part-time employee of Marathon Resources Ltd and a Member of the AusIMM. She has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity she is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person for the purposes of the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr Phung Nguyen consents to inclusion in the report of these matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
