Eastern Goldfields Limited ( Eastern Goldfields or the Company ) (ASX:EGS) is pleased to provide the following activities and cash flow report for the quarter ending 31 March 2016.

REINSTATEMENT TO OFFICIAL QUOTATION

On 24 March 2016, the Company was reinstated to the Official Quotation on the ASX, following completion of an oversubscribed capital raising pursuant to the prospectus dated 28 December 2015 (as supplemented). During the quarter, the Company successfully raised $25 million (before costs) through the issue of 166,666,667 shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share. As a result of the strong demand for the raising, the Company placed an additional 16,666,667 shares at $0.15 per Share to raise a further $2.5 million (before costs) post the end of the quarter.

The Company intends to apply funds raised during the quarter to reserve definition drilling, plant refurbishment, repayment of debt and general working capital.

OVERVIEW

Davyhurst Project

The Davyhurst Project includes both open cut and underground mining targets, located 120km north-west of Kalgoorlie. Mining operations will initially commence on open pit resources at Siberia and underground resources within the Davyhurst area. The Davyhurst area hosts some of the largest deposits within the entire portfolio and has considerable potential for the discovery of new gold deposits, in addition to the extension of existing resources.

The Company’s immediate focus remains centred on the evaluation of mining opportunities. Work programs put in place are designed to cover Mineral Resource definition & extension drilling, exploration of known mineralisation along with grassroots programs targeting new discoveries. The Company will also seek to complete the refurbishment of the 1.2Mtpa Davyhurst Processing Plant as soon as practicable.

During the period, the Company advanced both project development works and processing plant refurbishment engineering works, combined with ongoing on the ground explorations works.

For the quarter a total of 46 RC holes were drilled over 8 exploration prospects for a total of 3,583 metres. The assay results are expected during May.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Siberia Project Area

The Siberia mining centre is 35km south east of Davyhurst and contains two main deposits, namely Sandking and Missouri, both of which remain the subject of detailed mine evaluation works. During the quarter, resource definition drill planning at Sandking and Missouri continued, with a total of 7,305 diamond metres and 5,160 RC percussion metres now scheduled. Site preparations have begun with the drill program scheduled to be completed during the June quarter.

Additional time was devoted to developing safety and operational systems for site to ensure the upcoming drill programs proceed safely and efficiently. The recruitment process was initiated so that manning levels are sufficiently expanded to ensure the drilling is completed within the required timeframe.

Davyhurst Project Area

Golden Eagle Deposit

Underground mine evaluation works continued on the Golden Eagle deposit which is located 2km from the Davyhurst Processing Plant. These works are advanced and included optimising and finalising mines designs, surface infrastructure layouts and drafting of regulatory approval documents.

Makai Deposit

The Makai deposit is a lode system that sits in an up dip position to the main Lights of Israel deposit (LOI), which is located 700m from the Davyhurst Processing Plant. A mining event has been proposed which targets Makai while leveraging off the existing LOI capital development, ultimately providing access options for the entire known plunge length of this deposit.

An underground inspection was conducted examining the LOI vent adit, main portal, decline and stockpiles. All were found to be in fair to good condition. The standing water level within the mine was also found to be below the current planned mining event.

Riverina Project Area

The Riverina deposit lies approximately 40km north-west of Davyhurst. The open pit deposit was initially mined by Monarch in 2007/2008 but only reached a maximum depth of 20m. Significant RC grade control drilling was completed by Monarch at the time, with 2,345 holes drilled on a tight 5m x 5m pattern, totalling approximately 37,000m. Mining at Riverina was cut short, leaving much of the area covered by grade control drilling unmined. Figure 1 shows the grade control drilling (red) covering most of the designed pit (grey line). Limited mining has taken place in the north of the design, the remainder was cleared in preparation for mining.

Close spaced drilling has provided additional information which had not previously been utilised in any resource models. The drilling reaches a maximum depth of 32m. A preliminary resource model utilising only the grade control drilling was initiated during the quarter aimed at quantifying the near surface oxide ore potential. This work is ongoing and will be integrated with the existing wider spaced (20m x20m) resource drilling.

The mineralisation defined by this grade control drilling is seen as a low cost oxide ore source target for the mill at Davyhurst. The close spaced drilling has identified areas of significant near surface oxide mineralisation, not previously identified in the resource drilling data.

Database

Major changes to the internal structure of the SQL database were initiated during the quarter. This was mainly to accommodate more comprehensive geology logging of core and RC chips. This work is ongoing.

Environmental Compliance

The Company’s Annual Environmental Reports were lodged with the Department on 31 March 2016 for the period from 28 February 2015 to 30 March 2016. The Department has provided an extension until 15 April 2016 for the Lady Ida Mine Closure Plan.

Mining Approvals

A preliminary pre-submission mining approval meeting was held with the DMP Environmental Branch on 9 March 2016. Two approvals, namely the Siberia Open Cuts and the Golden Eagle Underground proposals were discussed as these are scheduled to be submitted in the coming quarter. Over the period, the mine layouts, dewatering, pit and landform designs and rehabilitation scheduling was completed. The lodgement of both approvals is awaiting finalisation of external geochemical reports for inclusion.

Siberia Clearing Permit

An ecological survey report, resultant from the November field survey, was finalised on 2 March 2016. A Native Vegetation Purpose (Clearing) Permit was lodged with the Native Vegetation Branch of the DMP on 3 March 2016.

Davyhurst Tailing Storage Expansion

Work continued on geotechnical analysis of the existing TSF, progressing through to the engineering design stage. An option study was also completed which examined future tailings storage options. The engineering study will provide the details required for the development of a tailing storage plan for the next 4 years of operation. A Mining Proposal for the tailings deposition plan will be developed and submitted in the quarter ending 30 June 2016.

EXPLORATION

RC Drilling

A number of RC drill programs were completed at the Riverina/Mulline and Davyhurst project areas. Results are expected during May.

Off Chance

The Off Chance old workings are situated 1km west of the Giles pit and 28km from Davyhurst (Figure 2). The prospect consists of a series of substantial shafts, collapsed stopes and prospecting pits definable over a strike distance of approximately 700m. This trend follows a weak magnetic high which is assumed to be a dolerite unit intruding tholeiitic basalts. Recorded production for the Off Chance old workings is 105.45kg contained gold at 48g/t.

A total of 11 holes were drilled for 736m. These holes were designed to test beneath the old workings, focusing on the southern area.

Forehand and Riverina North

The Forehand resource lies 1km to the east of the Riverina deposit and 45km from Davyhurst (Figure 2). The current JORC 2004 compliant open pit resource for Forehand is 822,000T @ 1.8/t for 48,000** ounces at a 1g/t cut-off grade.

An extensive 28 hole RC and diamond program was designed to infill, confirm and extend the current resource. Three shallow infill RC holes totalling 235m, were drilled during the quarter. Assay results are expected during May.

The Riverina North Prospect is situated ~2.5km north of the Riverina mine (Figure 2). The prospect has a 2,000m by 600m Au geochemical auger anomaly, which is coincident with an interpreted cross cutting structure. A line of historical RC holes indicate the potential for ore grade material at the prospect. Four holes for 400m were drilled at the prospect, assays are awaited.

** This resource was previously reported in the Supplementary Prospectus released to the ASX on 9/02/2016

Round Dam and Dexy

The Round Dam trend extends from Waihi in the north to Salmon Gums in the south and hosts the Dexy and Round Dam prospects. This mineralised trend has produced numerous deposits such as Waihi, Federal Flag and the Lady Eileen pits. Historically, this trend has been drilled systemically by RAB drilling and followed up by isolated and sporadic RC drilling

The Round Dam prospect is situated approximately 7km south west of the Davyhurst Production Plant (Figure 3). A number of significant intercepts at the Round Dam prospect remain untested along strike and at depth.

A total of nine holes for 820m were drilled to test the potential of the previously untested areas.

The Dexy prospect is situated 400m south of the Waihi South pit and 4km from Davyhurst (Figure 3). Early works demonstrates the potential for a shallow oxide mineralisation over a strike length of 300m.

A small number of holes are proposed to test the drilling that returned intercepts of ore grade material. Holes were designed to drill up dip of these holes and along strike to determine the potential for shallow oxide. A total of five holes for 399m were drilled.

Golden Eagle South

The Golden Eagle South Prospect is situated ~2km south east of the Golden Eagle pit (Figure 3). The Golden Eagle mineralising structure has been mapped to this location and is coincident with a north trending soil anomaly.

Gold mineralisation is interpreted to be hosted within the same shear (biotite schist unit) as Golden Eagle.

Two distinct surface geochemical anomalies are seen, one trending NW and the second NNE. A number of short lines of RC (2-3 holes) were drilled in the area in 1995, presumably targeting the Golden Eagle structure. The RC drilling failed to intercept any significant mineralisation. This drilling appears to be very sporadic in nature and limited in extent and has probably not effectively tested the structure. Three regional 400m spaced RAB lines, with 30m spaced drill holes, were drilled in 1997 but the drilling was too shallow in nature to have been effective. A single anomalous interval was intercepted which coincides roughly with the interpreted position of the Golden Eagle Shear.

As a first phase of drilling a single line of “top to tail” RC was drilled to cover the interpreted position of the GE Shear and soil gold anomalies. Twelve holes for 729m were completed.

Auger Drilling

A Siberia regional auger drill program commenced during the quarter. This program was designed to provide initial geochemical coverage over an area with no previous surface geochemistry. This drilling is being carried out on 400m spaced lines at 80m spaced points. Drill holes are drilled to a nominal 1.8m and the most carbonate reactive interval sampled.

The program remains ongoing and no results have been received for this work as yet.

CORPORATE

During the quarter and subsequent to shareholder approval on 30 December 2015, the Company issued a total of 379,038,084 shares comprising 212,371,417 shares being issued at a deemed issue price of $0.15 per share, on conversion of principal amount and interest on debts owed by the Company and 166,666,667 shares at an issue price of $0.15 pursuant to the capital raising.

In addition, the Company issued 11,100,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.168 each and expiring 8 March 2018 and 11,100,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.189 each expiring 8 March 2020 to Directors of the Company, as approved by shareholders on 30 December 2015.

As announced 23 March 2016, the Company cancelled 8,623,822 shares pursuant to the Settlement Deed between the Company and Stirling Resources Pty Ltd.

POST QUARTER EVENTS

On 13 April 2016, the Company issued 16,666,667 shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share to raise a further $2.5 million. In addition, in recognition of recent efforts the Company issued 13,000,000 options exercisable at $0.168 each and expiring 8 March 2018 and 13,000,000 option exercisable at $0.189 each, expiring 8 March 2020 and vesting 14 April 2018, subject to continual employment or engagement by the Company to employees and contractors of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan.

On 27 April 2016, the Company also received notice from the Office of the Minister for Mines and Petroleum that the decision dated 6 December 2015 regarding the potential re-imposition of Unconditional Performance Bonds (UPBs) on certain of the Company’s tenements has been formally rescinded. The Company is continuing to work through a process with the DMP to reassure the Department that post capital raising it is able to meet all of its ongoing environmental obligations, and this process is expected to continue for a number of months. The Company can confirm that as of the date of release, all of its outstanding liabilities to the DMP have been paid in full.

OUTLOOK

On 13 April 2016, the Company released an announcement that puts forth its developments plans for the broader Davyhurst Project, including Mt Ida. With regards to the Davyhurst Processing Facility, GR Engineering have been engaged and the refurbishment program will commence in May 2016. With regards to resource development, the near term focus is on reserve definition drilling on near mine ounces, with resource extension drilling and regional exploration reconnaissance work beginning mid 2016 onwards.
