QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES

Marathon Resources Limited (ASX:”MTN”) presents its Activities report for the Quarter ending 30 September 2014.

Exploration Activity and Other Initiatives

As advised in its previous Quarterly Activities Report Marathon Resources continues to adopt a cost effective approach to exploration by pursuing “earn-in” opportunities while at the same time limiting the Company’s exposure should a decision be made not to proceed further with exploration and analysis. Marathon had entered two arrangements with private companies in which the company expended nominal amounts to determine if further expenditure was warranted. In both cases the exploration work undertaken determined that mineral occurrences were not of economic significance or were prohibitively expensive to drill. Marathon terminated those arrangements in the last quarter without penalty.

During the quarter directors and management have advanced the ongoing assessment of prospects for investment in mineral exploration and other projects to determine suitable investments for the Company. The opportunities are in South Australia, other Australian states and overseas. Details of the ongoing assessments were provided in the Review of Operations and Operating Results section of the 2014 Annual Report, released on the ASX announcements platform 29 September 2014.

There have been several parties prepared to offer farm-ins, mergers or offers for Marathon to buy exploration leases but further work is required to identify an acceptable opportunity.

In the current market many explorers have very limited cash resources and little opportunity to raise additional capital. Marathon has continued its conservation of cash resources and consequently remains placed better in terms of cash reserves than most other junior explorers.

The directors remain committed to increasing shareholder value through acquisition or merger and continue to vigorously assess available options in line with that strategy. The Board is conscious of the time it has taken to review the opportunities presented, and is confident of securing a suitable venture shortly. The objective of the Board remains to be able to respond quickly and proceed to investment while preserving funds to the maximum extent possible.
