  • Local team engaged to fast track both Thompson Bros. lithium project and Alaskan project portfolio developments

  • Subject to satisfactory due diligence Quantum will target fast-tracking exploration and development works

  • Placement to raise approximately $1.9 million before costs to professional and sophisticated investors bringing cash balance to approximate $2.7m (subject to shareholder approval) to advance the Thompson Bros. lithium project and complete due diligence on the Alaskan projects.

Option for Farm-In and Joint Venture

The directors of Quantum Resources Limited ( Quantum or Company ) (ASX: QUR) are pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an option agreement to farm-in to five distinct exploration projects located in Alaska, with a total portfolio licence area of 192.3km2 and strong potential for gold, silver, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and rare earths ( Projects ) under a joint venture arrangement ( Joint Venture ) with AK Minerals Pty Ltd ( AKM ), an Australian proprietary company.

AKM is the ultimate owner of the Projects through its Alaskan subsidiary, AK Custom Mining LLC ( AKCM ). AKM is an exploration company with an aggressive long term exploration program planned for testing of new frontiers for discovery, value creation and production.

The proposed Joint Venture gives Quantum access to a large exploration portfolio with diversified mineral exposure in highly prospective geological terrains in Alaska, in line with its Manitoba Thompson Bros lithium project and North America focus. Further information in respect of the proposed Joint Venture and the Projects is set out below.

Capital Raising

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has received commitments from professional and sophisticated investor clients of Baker Young Stockbrokers and SA Capital Pty Ltd and other parties identified by the Company, none of whom are related parties of the Company, for a placement of 136,214,286 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.014 (1.4 cents) per share, to raise approximately $1.9 million before costs ( Placement ). Each placement share is proposed to be issued together with a one for one free attaching listed option, ASX:QURO, with an exercise price of $0.0325 (3.25 cents) and expiring on 31 August 2020.

The Placement commitments are subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval for the ratification of previous share issues (resolutions 4 and 5) and for a new issue of shares (resolution 10) at its upcoming AGM scheduled for 30 November 2017. If the required approvals are received, the Company intends to issue the Placement shares as soon as practicable after the AGM. If the approvals are not received (either in part or in full) or the Company is not able to issue the Placement shares within the terms

Quantum Resources Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550

of resolution 10, the Company will scale-back applications accordingly (at its discretion). The attaching options are proposed to be issued at a later date, subject to subsequent shareholder approval to be sought at a date to be determined.

The Placement will increase the Company’s cash position to approximately $2.7 million, providing sufficient financial capacity for Quantum to accelerate its planned exploration programs, in particular its Thompson Bros. lithium project in Manitoba, Canada.

AKM’s Project Portfolio

The Projects range from more advanced exploration projects with ore grade drill intersections to brownfield tenements. The most advanced projects are the Estelle gold project, a district scale high tonnage, gold, copper, silver project , the Chip-Loy nickel, cobalt, copper project , the Bowser creek silver, zinc, lead project which the US government has spent in excess of $7m on this projects historically and Windy Fork REE project . Appraisal activities have already commenced at the projects to determine their exploration and economic potential.

Proposed Farm-In and Joint Venture Terms

The Company has entered into a binding terms sheet with AKM.

The terms of the Option and the proposed Joint Venture are as follows:

  • (a) Option – Quantum will pay AKM a non-refundable Option fee of $50,000. The Option period is 3 months, however this can be extended at Quantum’s request for up to a further 3 months. During the Option period, QUR will undertake extensive due diligence investigations of AKM and the Projects. If Quantum proceeds to exercise the Option, it must pay an Option exercise fee to AKM of $105,000 (representing reimbursement of historic expenditure on the Projects by AKM).

  • (b) Stage 1 (30% interest) – Quantum will earn an initial 30% initial interest in a new entity ( Newco ) to be interposed between AKM and AKCM through spending $300,000 on exploration over the first 12 months from the date of exercise of the Option. Funds spent by Quantum in undertaking its due diligence investigations will count towards Stage 1 expenditure. In addition, on exercise of the Option, AKM will have the right to appoint up to two directors to the board of Quantum.

  • (c) Stage 2 (51% interest) – Quantum will earn a further 21% interest in Newco through spending an additional $1million on exploration over the first 2 years from the date of exercise of the Option. If Quantum does not satisfy the Stage 2 expenditure requirement in full, it must relinquish its 30% interest in Newco.

  • (d) Stage 3 (70% interest) – Quantum will acquire a further 19% interest in Newco through spending an additional $2 million on exploration in years 3 and 4 from the date of the exercise of the Option. If Quantum does not satisfy its Stage 3 expenditure in full, it will maintain its 51% interest.

  • (e) Free Carry – Quantum will continue to fund the Projects through to completion of a bankable feasibility study, at which point if AKM decides not to contribute proportionately, its interest in Newco will dilute by an industry standard formula, to a minimum 15% and a 2% net smelter royalty.

The parties intend to formalise the terms of the proposed Joint Venture under a formal farmin and joint venture agreement to be negotiated and finalised prior to any exercise of the Option.

Mr Avi Kimelman, Managing Director of the Company holds a relevant interest in approximately 22.5% of the issued shares in AKM. The Company sought guidance from ASX pursuant to Listing Rule 10.8 on the application of Listing Rule 10.1 in the circumstances of the proposed transaction. ASX has confirmed that Listing Rule 10.1 does not apply to the proposed transaction, provided that the farm-in and joint venture terms (and any formal agreement in respect of the transaction entered into by the parties) do not contain a right for the Company to acquire from AKM its interest in AKCM or the Projects, and are not subsequently varied to provide for such a right.

Benefits of Alaska

Alaska is a mining-friendly jurisdiction and 6th most attractive investment destination in 2015 Fraser Institute report. It's a vast state with few people and lots of wild remote wilderness. It's known as the last frontier.

Gold was first found in the Kenai River back in 1848 by Russian explorers. Mining never took off until around 1870 when gold was found around the area of Juneau. Soon after that discovery gold was found in both the Fairbanks area and there was the world famous Nome gold rush. Today Alaska has the second most amount of active mines in the USA, second only to Nevada. It is estimated that there is close to 200 active mining operations in the state. Most of these operations are smaller placer operations along with other hard rock shows. There are however some very large mines run by major mining companies. Some of these mines are the largest deposits globally.

Alaska has a substantial and rapidly expanding mining industry. It has a strong mining culture, encourage foreign investment in their mineral sector and has world-class infrastructure.

The projects are located within 150km northwest of Anchorage, Alaska's biggest city, which is increasingly sustainable, and prosperous that provides all the essential services and a large labour force.

GENERALISED GEOLOGY

The rocks in the area of the Oxide prospects are Jurassic and Cretaceous marine sedimentary rocks that are intruded by the 65-66 Ma granodiorite of Mount Estelle (Reed and Nelson, 1980). The granodiorite at this prospect has a leucocratic equigranular phase and a porphyritic phase with potassium feldspar phenocrysts up to 10 mm in size (Cominco American Incorporated, unpublished report). As described by Cominco American, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite occur as joint coatings, in veins, and as disseminations adjacent to northwest-striking mineralized joint sets.

The Stoney, Trundle, Kid and Tomahawk prospects are located on the northern side of Mt Stoney. These prospects are located on the Yentna trend of Late Cretaceous/early Tertiary composite plutons described by Reed and Nelson (1980). All other prospects are located within and adjacent to the Mount Estelle pluton (Reed and Elliott, 1970). In the central part of the pluton, a biotite-hornblende-quartz monzonite intrudes Mesozoic marine sedimentary rocks of the Kahiltna terrane. It is described as a high-grade, polymetallic vein occurrence located near a strong, circular magnetic high pointing to the possibility of nearby porphyry mineralization. Native gold occurs with chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, and pyrrhotite associated with sericite, carbonate and chlorite alteration in sheeted joints, stockwork veinlets, and circular structures that range from 1 inch to more than 15 feet in diameter (Millholland,1995; Crowe and others, 1991; Crowe and Millholland, 1990). These structures are in the felsic and intermediate phases of the pluton. Gold associated with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite and molybdenite also occurs in ultramafic rocks on the south side of the pluton.

Chip-Loy/Roberts Project (Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Silver, PGE’s)

Highlights

  • Chip-channel samples from the Chip-Loy deposit contain a number of historical disseminated and massive Ni, Co, Cu sulfide sampling (Smith and Albanese, 1985; Bundtzen, Roberts, and others, 1982)

  • Drilling planned to understand the extent and expand on the known Massive sulphide Ni, Co, Cu mineralisation.

The Chip-Loy/Roberts prospect is comprised of forty-two (42) unpatented mining claims (Figure 7) located on State of Alaska public lands wholly within the McGrath A-3 Quadrangle. The prospects (Chip-Loy and Roberts) are described separately, although geophysical data suggests the Roberts prospect is part of a belt of similar deposits that includes the Chip-Loy prospect.

==> picture [404 x 318] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Chip-Loy/Roberts prospect showing mining claims over geology and topographic imagery

Chip-Loy (Nickel, Cobalt, Copper)

The Chip-Loy massive sulphide Ni-Cu-Co prospect was first discovered and staked by prospectors Ed Chipp and Robert Loy in the early 1960s. Since then numerous geologists from industry and government have visited and sampled it. It is located adjacent to Straight Creek, one of the headwater tributaries of the Middle Fork of the Kuskokwim River. It consists of an irregular, steeply dipping layer of massive to disseminated, nickelian pyrrhotite accompanied by other sulfides in an elongate, composite, diabase intrusion. The diabase, which ranges from gabbro to diorite, has been described as a pipe in plan view or as a dike.

Quantum Resources Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550

The intrusion trends in a northeast direction and cuts mid-Silurian Terra Cotta Mountains Sandstone, a formation of the Dillinger subterrane, a continental margin assemblage of Lower Paleozoic age and has been assign as early Tertiary age (Bundtzen 1999a).

Roberts (Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Platinum Group Elements)

The Roberts prospect is in a differentiated, mafic-ultramafic sill that cuts silty limestone and shale of the Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician, Lyman Hills Formation, the oldest facies of the Dillinger subterrane (Bundtzen, Harris, and Gilbert, 1997). The sill is undated, but believed to be correlative with Late Triassic feeders in the Tatina River Volcanics, a subdivision of the Middle Devonian to Lower Jurassic Mystic subterrane (Bundtzen, Harris, and Gilbert, 1997; T.K. Bundtzen and G.M. Laird, written communication,1998). The mineralization at the Roberts prospect is mainly disseminated and network-style sulfides with a notable content of platinum group elements (PGE) in the lower and middle part of the sill.

Windy Fork Project (REE’s)

Highlights

  • Cerium enriched, REE placer gravels concentrations occurs throughout large areas of the project area.

  • Systematic surface sampling of the placer deposit was completed by Barker (1991) during 1988

  • Target drilling of REE placer gravels to define a resource under JORC code

  • Bulk test sampling and trial mining planned of REE placer gravels.

The Windy Fork prospect is comprised of twenty-six (26) unpatented mining claims (Figure 10) located on State of Alaska public lands wholly within the McGrath A-3 Quadrangle. The Windy Fork Placer occurrence is located at the confluence of the Windy Fork of the Kuskokwim River and two unnamed, north flowing tributaries draining the Windy Fork pluton (Gilbert and others, 1988). Systematic surface sampling of the placer deposit was completed by Barker (1991) during a cooperative strategic mineral assessment of the McGrath quadrangle with the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys.

==> picture [363 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Windy Fork prospect showing mining claims over geology and topographic imagery

The Windy Fork prospect is a significant accumulation of REE minerals, ilmenite, zircon, and other heavy minerals liberated from the peralkaline Windy Fork composite pluton and concentrated in a high energy glaciofluvial placer deposit (Solie, 1983; Gilbert and others, 1988; Barker, 1991; Bundtzen, Harris, and Gilbert, 1997). Although the Windy Fork pluton contains riebeckite granite, biotite granite, and pyroxene syenite phases; its average chemical composition is that of peralkaline granite (Solie, 1983). The Windy Fork pluton is radioactive and scintillometer readings taken along traverses across the intrusion range from 650-to-800 cps, about 3 times the average background for granitic rocks. High energy glaciofluvial gravels with significant heavy mineral concentrations have accumulated in an elliptical, one square kilometer area near the confluence of Windy Fork and two second order tributary streams that dissect the Windy Fork pluton (Gilbert and others, 1988). Stream bed and fan deposits contain abundant chevkinite, eudialyte, ilmenite, monazite,

Quantum Resources Ltd. Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000. Phone: +61 3 9614 0600 Fax: + 61 3 9614 0550

tscheffkinite, and zircon and minor to trace allanite, cassiterite, and thorite (Barker, 1991). Natural streaks of black sand rich in magnetite and ilmenite are very common in bedload environments. Monazite and zircon are easily identified in the field.

Bowser Creek Project (Silver-Zinc-Lead)

Highlights

  • During a heavy metals investigation of the southern Alaska Range in 1967 a U.S. Geological Survey Team discovered occurrences of lead, zinc and silver of potential economic significance.

  • The reported cost of this government project was $7 million, and the Bowser Creek exposures were considered to be the ‘find’ of the summer

  • Multiple walk up drill targets to be targeted to define a resource under JORC code.

The Bowser Creek prospect is comprised of twenty (20) unpatented mining claims (Figure 13) located on State of Alaska public lands wholly within the McGrath A-2 Quadrangle. There are three targeted prospects – Bowser Creek Headwaters; Bowser Creek Main and Bowser Creek Northeast, all located along Bowser Creek up to the headwaters.

During a heavy metals investigation of the southern Alaska Range in 1967 a U.S. Geological Survey Team discovered occurrences of lead, zinc and silver of potential economic significance. The Bowser Creek prospects were subsequently discovered during regional geological mapping and mineral investigations conducted in the southern Alaska Range by the U.S. Geological Survey and published in Reed and Elliott (1968, C 559 and 596) and Reed and Lanphere (1972). The reported cost of this government project was $7 million, and the Bowser Creek exposures were considered to be the ‘find” of the summer.

Figure 9: Bowser Creek prospect showing mining claims over geology and topographic imagery

The Bowser Creek prospects consists of disseminated to massive, sulfide mineralization in discrete, northwest trending, steeply dipping, quartz-carbonate veins and vein breccias cutting quartz porphyry of the Bowser Creek composite pluton. The quartz porphyry phase, which has been radiometrically, dated 60.4 Ma; it intrudes the Early to mid-Paleozoic Dillinger subterrane (Bundtzen and others, 1988; Bundtzen, Harris, and Gilbert, 1997). A prospect map has been published by Bundtzen and others (1988). Sulfide minerals include massive sphalerite and pyrrhotite, with lesser amounts of galena, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. Pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite clearly crosscut previously deposited galena, sphalerite, and pyrite.

Ozzna Creek Project (Gold, Silver, Zinc, Copper, Lead)

Highlights

  • The Ozzna creek prospect consists of base metal sulfide veins and replacement deposits within an extensive quartz-sericite-pyrite halo rimming a 450 meter wide, rugged, quartz monzonite breccia pipe, which forms the core of a distinctive, precipitous, 7,205-foot –high (2,197 m) peak.

  • Historic data to be reviewed

  • Drill testing to unlock a new base metals province.

The Ozzna Creek Project is comprised of thirty-six (36) unpatented mining claims (Figure 15) located on State of Alaska public lands wholly within the McGrath B-2 Quadrangle. There are several prospects within the project area whereby they form part of a widespread polymetallic mineral belt, the Farewell Mineral belt and were one of several in a block of claims, known collectively as the BMP project, prospected by International Tower Hill Mines, Ltd., (2008).

==> picture [355 x 257] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 10: Ozzna Creek prospect showing mining claims over geology and topographic imagery

The Ozzna Creek prospect is located on a west-flowing tributary of the Windy Fork of the Kuskokwim River. It consists of base metal sulfide veins and replacement deposits in an extensive quartz-sericite-pyrite halo rimming a 450-meter-wide, quartz monzonite breccia pipe. The pipe forms the core of a distinctive, precipitous, 7,205-foot -high peak. A biotite separate from the quartz monzonite pipe gave a K-Ar age of 58 Ma. (Solie and others, 1991). A pronounced magnetic high rims the edge of the breccia pipe (Rob Kell, written communication, 1983). (The magnetic anomaly that rims the quartz monzonite breccia pipe is similar to geophysical features found in porphyry copper systems throughout the North American Cordillera.)
