Quarterly Activities Report – September 2015

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 and base metals.

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.

Electromagnetic Target Areas

Historic airborne electromagnetic data (Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey) was reprocessed to produce a number of images. Figure 4 shows the Channel 10 survey data, which highlights the stratigraphy folding around the interpreted dome structure.

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 @ 52 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 1980’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.

No field work was carried out during the 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.

• In August, Quantum issued 80,205,482 ordinary shares at $0.0013 per ordinary share under a placement to a number of sophisticated investors to raise $104,267.

• On 21 August 2015, Quantum announced that it would undertake a pro-rata nonrenounceable rights issue on a 1-for-1 basis at an offer price of $0.001 ( Offer ). The Offer closed on 9 September 2015, with the result that shareholders applied for a total of 245,401,895 shares under the rights issue, and Quantum raised $245,402 as a result.

• Following the close of the rights issue Offer, there remained a shortfall of 691,506,805 shares which were not applied for during the Offer period ( Shortfall Shares ). In accordance with its stated intention in the Company’s rights issue Offer Document, on 24 September 2015 the Board successfully placed the Shortfall Shares to a range of investors. The Shortfall Shares were placed at the Offer price of $0.001 per share, to raise a total of $691,507, bringing the total funds raised by Quantum under the rights issue to $936,909 (less costs of the Offer). The funds raised under the rights issue will be applied to meet Quantum’s working capital requirements, and to enable the Board to execute its growth and restructure strategy.

• On 21 September 2015, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting to propose a number of resolutions to shareholders, including the consolidation of the Company’s share capital, through the conversion of every thirteen fully paid ordinary shares on issue as at the record date of 25 September 2015 into one share ( Consolidation ). The Consolidation and all other resolutions were approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the Consolidation was completed effective 28 September 2015. Following the Consolidation, the Company now has 144,139,826 fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
