EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES FOR THE QUARTER

No exploration activities or field work was undertaken during the quarter.

Previous exploration on the Company’s major licences is detailed below. The Company will be reviewing its exploration portfolio in the next quarter with the objective of determining the best strategy to enhance value from these assets.

Telfer Project

• Magnetic and electromagnetic targets identified for geochemical drilling program.

• Continuing re-evaluation of the Chicken Ranch prospect.

Tanami Project (Officer Hill)

• Newmont Mining is managing the project to earn 75% by spending $500,000 within three years and $100,000 within Year 1.

No field work was undertaken during the quarter.

A summary of the Company’s exploration assets and activities is provided below:

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.

FIGURE 1 – Project Location Plan

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. This work continued during the quarter with compilation and validation of existing drilling data.

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.

The information in this report that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Dr DS Tyrwhitt who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr DS Tyrwhitt is a consulting geologist employed by DS Tyrwhitt & Associates Pty Ltd. Dr DS Tyrwhitt has 50 years experience in the industry and has more than 5 years experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation being reported upon to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Tyrwhitt consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context to which it appears.
