OVERVIEW
Quantum Resources Limited (“Quantum” or “the Company”) is an Australian explorer with a suite of projects in Western Australia and the Northern Territory (Figure 1 & Table 1). The projects are all located on granted titles and are prospective for gold, base metals, rare earths and uranium.

TELFER PROJECT
(Quantum 100%)
The Company’s Telfer Project comprises a single exploration licence in a tightly held area 6km from the Telfer Gold Mine within the world class Paterson Province in Western Australia, which is host to significant deposits of various styles of mineralisation including the Telfer Mine, O’Callaghans tungsten and base metals skarn deposit, the Kintyre uranium deposit and the Nifty copper deposit. The Telfer deposit is one of Australia's largest deposits with a reported Ore Reserve of 6.3 million ounces of gold and 0.295 million tonnes of copper within a Mineral Resource of approximately 15 million ounces of gold (December 2013). The O’Callaghan’s ore body, 10km south east of Telfer mine, is also owned by Newcrest and hosts significant resources of tungsten, copper, lead and zinc.

Reprocessing and interpretation of historic airborne electromagnetic and magnetic data by an external consultant identified the extension of a dome structure, which hosts the 17 Mile hill deposit, into the tenement area. The consultant identified a new target area associated with the structure and a potential granite intrusion satisfying a number of important exploration criteria in the Telfer region.
A limited amount of wide-spaced geochemical drilling has been undertaken in the target area (see Figure 2). The drill holes are relatively shallow and typically terminated at the base of the transported overburden. Geological logs reveal that anomalous gold values in some holes may be associated with lateritic residuum at the base of the transported overburden and have not been adequately followed up. This is encouraging and represents an opportunity for immediate investigation through either extending the grid or drilling closer spaced holes to test the fresh bedrock.

Magnetic Target Areas
Further review of the drill hole geochemical assay data identified that maximum down-hole gold values are spatially associated with areas of subdued magnetic response such as Area 1 in Figure 3. The subdued magnetic response possibly represents destruction of magnetite due to hydrothermal alteration, which may be associated with mineralisation. Additional areas with a subdued magnetic response have been identified (eg Area 2 and Area 3), which have not been adequately drilled and are considered valid targets for reconnaissance geochemical drilling.

Maximum down-hole gold values appear to be associated with the northern arm of a conductive zone within the Punta Punta Formation. The southern arm has not been drilled and is considered a valid target for reconnaissance geochemical drilling.

Re-evaluation of Chicken Ranch Prospect
Gold mineralisation at the Chicken Ranch prospect (Figure 2) is associated with deeply oxidised sediments of the Punta Punta Formation and includes mineralised intercepts of up to 7m @ 13 grams per tonne including a maximum of 1m @ 53 grams per tonne. The potential for the Punta Punta Formation to host economic mineralisation is considered high as shown by the Fallows Field deposit southwest of Telfer Mine. The Fallows Field deposit is hosted by Punta Punta Formation and in the 1990’s Newcrest defined a mineral resource and mined approximately 50,000 ounces of gold. Quantum considers a re-evaluation of the potential of the Chicken Ranch prospect to host economic mineralisation is warranted and will endeavour to undertake this during the next quarter.

TANAMI (OFFICER HILLS JV) PROJECT
(Quantum 100%, Newmont Option to earn up to 75%)
The Officer Hill JV Project is located within the Tanami geological province, which hosts world class orogenic gold deposits including the Granites gold deposits and the operating Callie Gold Mine owned by Newmont Mining (Figure 1). The Company holds a single Exploration Licence located 34 kilometres southwest of the Callie Gold Mine, which at the end of 2013 had 3.01 million ounces of gold reserves. The licence was granted on 29[th] July 2013 for a period of six years.
The project is prospective for gold mineralisation with historical drilling intercepts of 4 metres @ 4.64 g/t, multiple intervals of 1-4 g/t, and several wide intercepts of 0.1-1 g/t.
The project is being managed by Newmont under joint venture with the Company. Newmont are earning a 75% interest by spending $500,000 within three years. Under the terms of the agreement Newmont must spend $100,000 within the first 12 months.
Newmont advised that no field work was completed during the quarter.
GARDNER RANGE
(Quantum 100%)
The Gardner Range project comprises a single exploration licence located approximately 130km southeast of Halls Creek, in the Birrindudu Basin region of Western Australia (Figure 1). Prior to the Company’s entry into the area the main recorded exploration was the discovery of uranium and rare earths at the Mt Mansbridge location. Results of 980ppm uranium and 0.16ppm Au and 7% total rare earth elements were reported by BHP with the presence of xenotime noted within veined Killi Killi beds.
The main target model has been an unconformity-style system whereby basement sourced and fracture connected hydrothermal cells delivered metals in solution to the area of the Gardner Sandstone unconformity and flowed through into the sandstone host above the unconformity.
The Company completed airborne and ground geophysical surveys, rock sampling, ground radiometric measurements, MMI and conventional soil sampling to confirm previous findings, increase understanding of the hydrothermal system and to extend the zone of mineralisation where possible. The sample results together with factors such as a measured low zone of electrical conductivity and an enhanced radiometric response confirm the existence of a distinct hydrothermal cell in the Mt Mansbridge area.
One significant exploration implication of the Company’s mineralisation model is that elevated values of light rare earth elements in the Gardner Sandstone may indicate uranium and heavy rare earth elements at depth. This interpretation is suggested by the fact that mineralisation above the basal portion of the Gardner Sandstone records a decline in uranium and heavy rare earth elements with increasing distance from the exit point of the fluid pathway. No field work was completed during the quarter and the Company is continuing with its evaluation of whether to proceed with a program of drilling to conduct a preliminary assessment of grade and occurrence of mineralisation.
During the quarter the Company surrendered tenements E80/3411 and E80/3412 (see Figure 5). The Company continues to hold the remaining tenement E80/3410, which hosts the Mt Mansbridge mineralisation.

| Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Project is located within the Proterozoic Paterson Province and underlain by the moderately deformed sedimentary rocks of the Neoproterozoic Lamil Group, the upper part of the Yeneena Supergroup. The Yeneena Supergroup is intruded by both granitoids (O’Callaghans suite and Mt Crofton suite) and mafic rocks in the Telfer Area. The Puntapunta Formation and Wilki Quartzite dominate the geology of the tenement. The Puntapunta Formation comprised sequence of moderate to steeply dipping siltstone, carbonate siltstone, dolomite and subordinate fine-grained sandstone. Drilling intercepted a deeply oxidised package of predominantly argillaceous rocks manifesting as saprolitic clays. Mineralisation is directly associated with zones containing quartz veining and goethitic alteration after oxidised sulphide zones with influence by supergene processes. |

| Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length. |
Historic reports indicated that significant drill intercepts were not continuous between drill holes and that economic mineralization was not defined. Quantum has not yet undertaken a detailed assessment of gold mineralization using 3D software hence it is not known which drill holes may be considered Material.

| Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly |
Reported data includes down-hole maximum gold value only. Cut-off grades are not applicable. Non-core drill samples comprise either 4m composites or individual 1m samples. Core drill hole samples varied and may include composite intervals or specific intervals based on visual interpretation of core. |
