OVERVIEW

Davyhurst Project

The Davyhurst Project includes both open cut and underground mining targets, located 120 kilometres northwest of Kalgoorlie. Open pit mining operations are planned to commence in the March 2017 quarter at Siberia followed by underground operations within the Davyhurst area during the June 2017 quarter.

Refurbishment of the Company’s 1.2Mtpa gold processing plant continued to progress as per the project schedule. The refurbishment work will reinstate the nameplate capacity of the plant, while improving efficiencies specifically related to the crushing circuit, gravity gold circuit, elution circuit and through the installation of a new tailings thickener.

Project development at the Siberia Deposit nears completion, with focus shifting to the Riverina and Callion Deposits. The Company continues to enhance and construct a robust mining model based on informed and detailed geological modelling of the proposed mines.

During the quarter ended 31 December 2016, a total of 21 diamond holes (4,883m) and 157 reverse circulation (RC) holes (15,110m) were completed across 10 individual prospects at the Davyhurst Project.

Processing Plant Refurbishment and Site Engineering Works

During the quarter, major refurbishment works continued on all areas of the plant. The bulk of the foundation and concrete repairs were completed throughout the plant. Strip down and removal of all surplus and superseded equipment was completed allowing sandblasting, repair and painting of the plant superstructure and buildings. All gearboxes and motors were removed and sent for inspection. As expected, the majority of the motors and a number of gearboxes were found to be beyond repair and have been replaced. All new equipment is on order with delivery times aligned to the project schedule.

The two new cone crushers have been installed and installation of the new thickener has commenced after completion of all foundation works.

The contract for the new power station has been agreed and a detailed design has commenced. The order for the new Bulk Fuel Storage facility comprising five 110,000 litre tanks has been issued and refurbishment is 90% completed.

The plant refurbishment is still on schedule to achieve first production in the March quarter of 2017.

Other supporting facilities such as a new communications system, upgrade to HV power lines, bore water systems, new raw water dam and tailings storage facility upstream lift are progressing on schedule.

Mining Approvals & Environment

Environmental approvals were received on 9 November 2016 (REG ID 60930) for the placement of additional infrastructure (including power station, fuel, core facility expansion, and communications tower) at the Davyhurst Project. The associated Davyhurst Mine Closure Plan was also approved on 14 October 2016 (REG ID 55567).

Further environmental approvals were received on 19 December 2016 (REG ID 61330) for the recommencement of mining at the Lights of Israel underground mine.

The Siberia Open Pit Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan was submitted and accessed during the period with approval granted on 11 January 2017 (REG ID 58635) (post quarter event).

Eastern Goldfields Limited 2

Statutory reporting completed during the period included:

  • Annual Environmental Report completed and lodged for the Mt Ida Project on 30 November 2016.

  • Department of Water: Aquifer Reports and updated Groundwater Operating Strategy submitted on 30 October 2016.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Exploration and Mineral Resource definition activities advanced strongly during the quarter with 178 holes for a total of 19,993 metres drilled across the Davyhurst Project. Resource definition activities were focused at the Sand King and Missouri Deposits early in the quarter, with the focus shifting to the Callion and Riverina Deposits towards the end of the quarter. Drilling is scheduled to continue over multiple targets for the upcoming quarter with Callion and Riverina expected to receive the majority of the Resource definition attention.

Siberia Project Area

A total of 93 holes were drilled at Siberia during the period for a total of 9,116 metres.

The Siberia mining centre is 37 kilometres south east of Davyhurst and contains two main deposits, Sand King and Missouri, both of which are at a mine-ready state as recently announced (3 January 2017 and 15 December 2016 respectively).

Drilling was concluded during the quarter, resulting in the subsequent JORC 2012 Mineral Resource update for both the Missouri and Sand King Deposits, with a combined total Mineral Resource of 4.88 Mt @ 3.2g/t Au for 498,000 ounces (1g/t cut-off). This represents an 88% increase from the previously published resource.

Detailed mine evaluation was concluded at the Missouri Deposit, culminating in the definition of a JORC 2012 Ore Reserve. This work remains ongoing at Sand King.

Missouri Ore Reserve

Entech Pty Ltd, an independent international mining consultant specialising in mining engineering, conducted a mining study at the Missouri Deposit that successfully defined an Ore Reserve, released to the ASX on 15 December 2016, and as stated below.

The Indicated Resource has been converted to a Probable Ore Reserve, subject to mine design physicals and an economic evaluation. Any Inferred material contained within the mine plan has been treated as waste. The Ore Reserve estimate is based on financials and modifying factors determined as part of a recent mining study undertaken on the operation.

The key characteristics for the Missouri open pit are provided below:

Callion Project Area

Callion Deposit

A total of 25 holes were drilled at Callion during the period, for a total of 3,059 metres.

The Callion Deposit is 12 kilometres south west of the Davyhurst processing plant. Preliminary underground mine evaluation works, based on the historical record, have resulted in a focussed exploration effort at Callion. Early success demonstrated by this initial programme will result in the continued advancement of this Project with the aim of defining the next underground mining event.

Following on from the success of the Company’s first drilling at Callion in the previous quarter, the decision was made to proceed with a comprehensive drill program aimed at assessing the open pit and underground potential of the Callion Deposit.

The following significant results were received during the quarter and released to ASX on 24 November 2016:

  • CNDD007 with 6.7m @ 11.03 g/t Au from 269.3m

  • CNDD005 with 2.4m @ 1.23 g/t Au from 246.7m

Assay results are pending for the remainder of the drill holes.

Glasson North Prospect

A total of 2 holes were drilled at Glasson North during the period, for a total of 238 metres.

The Glasson pit is located 16 kilometres south west of the Davyhurst processing plant, with the Glasson North Prospect located approximately 700m north and along strike of the existing Glasson open pit and underground. The Glasson North Prospect consists of a number of old workings and two lines of anomalous RC drillholes, completed by Eastern Goldfields in 2015. Mineralisation is associated with biotite shearing and quartz veins that dip moderately to steeply east. Two diamond holes were drilled to test down dip and northern extensions of this structure.

The following significant results were received during the quarter (see Appendix 2)

  • GVNDD001 with 2.7m @1.28 g/t Au from 82.3m

  • GVNDD002 with 2.10m @ 1.90 g/t Au from 74.2m

Assay results are pending for the remainder of the drill holes.

Callion Exploration Target – Additional Information

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Basis for the Callion Exploration Target:

The Exploration Targets were calculated using historic data that was collated by Eastern Goldfields. The data consisted principally of channel sample assays and ore thicknesses and RC and diamond drill intersections. Lubbock compiled the data into mine blocks with associated grades and tonnages. Historical survey, geology and assay records were used to create a 3-dimensional model of the underground workings. The channel samples were collected across the width of the drive and/or stope face, generally perpendicular to the strike of the structure that controls mineralisation. Sample and assay methods of underground channel samples are unknown. RC drill samples were collected at 1m intervals and diamond core was cut to geological intervals. Assay methods of drillhole samples were by aqua regia or fire assay using accredited laboratories. In total, there are 1,608 stope samples, 947 face samples and 13 drill hole samples used within the area of the calculated Exploration Target.

Techniques for Calculating the Grade and Tonnage Ranges for the Callion Exploration Target:

Hard copy survey and geology plans and long sections were digitised and registered in a 3-dimensional space. A 3- dimensional model of the ore zones was constructed from the registered plans and drillhole data. Gold assay grades and widths were digitised from the plans. Due to the narrow and variable width of the orebody the estimation was based on an accumulation method. The accumulation variable (GramMetres = Width*Au Grade) and the Width were estimated (Ordinary Kriging) into a block model. The grade was back-calculated by dividing the estimated GramMetres by the estimated Width. A specific gravity of 2.7 t/m[3] for fresh rock was applied based on 22 core samples.

Planned Exploration work:

Eastern Goldfields has started to drill RC and diamond holes to evaluate the geology, grade and width of the target. Drilling is targeting remnant pillars and areas below current mining depths. Samples will be submitted to accredited laboratories for gold assay with a full suite of QAQC samples (blanks, standards and field duplicates). A geological and resource model will be produced once the program is completed. The Resource model will be classified as inferred/indicated as deemed appropriate.

Eastern Goldfields Limited 12

Davyhurst Project Area

Lights of Israel Mining Centre

A total of five holes were drilled at the Lights of Israel Deposit ( LOI ) during the period for a total of 1,892 metres.

The LOI, Makai and Great Ophir Deposits are collectively known as the LOI Complex.

This drilling is part of a first pass drilling program aimed at assessing the broader biotite schist within the LOI Complex. These holes in particular relate to drilling in the projected down plunge position of the Great Ophir Deposit. All holes will be incorporated into the LOI geological models and be utilised to direct the next phase of drilling.

Assay results are pending.

Waihi Deposit

The Company completed two diamond drill holes at the Waihi Deposit during the quarter. These holes were designed to provide much needed lithological and structural data directly under the existing open pit as much of the historical drilling did not provide this structural information.

Drilling intercepted a broad zone of alteration throughout both holes with increased sulphide and quartz veining appearing to be associated with the increase in mineralisation. Significant structural data was collected and is currently being incorporated into the existing geological model with further drilling scheduled during the year.

Assay results are pending.

Riverina Project Area

Riverina Deposit

A total of 35 holes for 3,589 drill metres were completed at Riverina during the reporting period. At period end the Company was awaiting the return of assay results.

The Riverina Deposit, with a current Mineral Resource of 2.58Mt @ 2.50 g/t Au for 207,000 ounces, is a high priority drill target due to its advanced state, high proportion of oxide tonnes and its proximity (48km to the north) to the Davyhurst Processing plant. With the completion of Resource definition drilling at Siberia, the Project Development team is now focused on Resource definition drilling at the Riverina and Callion Deposits.

Riverina historically has a long history of underground mining (100kt @ 15.8 g/t Au) on the main lode in addition to the more recent open pit mining event (22Kt @ 1.78 g/t Au) that focused on the eastern lodes. The current drilling program is aimed at increasing our confidence in the eastern lodes while also assessing the underground Resources on the Main lodes with several diamond holes planned.

Mulline Project Area

Mulline Rose Deposit

One hole was drilled at Mulline Rose during the period for a total of 215 metres.

The Mulline Rose Deposit is located 31 kilometres NNW of the Davyhurst processing plant. The Mulline Rose pit was mined in the early 1990s, and drilled to a maximum depth of 75 vertical metres. Gold mineralisation at Mulline Rose is associated with broad, east dipping mineralised structures. A single diamond hole was drilled on the northern margin of the pit testing for extensions to existing mineralisation, as well as repetitions at depth.

The following significant results were received during the quarter (see Appendix 2)

  • MRDD001 with 3.6m @ 9.03 g/t Au from 45.7m including 0.4m @ 74.71 g/t Au from 46.2m

Eastern Goldfields Limited 15

Victoria Old Workings

A total of six holes were drilled at Victoria during the period for a total of 586 metres.

Situated one kilometre immediately north and along strike of the Mulline Rose Deposit, the Victoria old workings have produced 2,500 ounces of gold at around 30g/t. Untested RAB and RC anomalism surround these old workings and indicate a similar geological setting to the Mulline Rose Deposit.

Assay results are pending.

Tietkins Prospect

A total of nine holes were drilled at Tietkens during the period for a total of 966 metres.

Regional mapping over the Mulline area identified a NE-SW trending fault to the south of the Giles pit where mineralisation peters out. This fault is interpreted to offset Giles’ mineralisation one kilometre to the SW, in a region of significant rotary air blast drill results. In this area known as Tietkins, four RC holes were drilled in the north, and five holes in the south.

Drilling encountered pyrrhotite rich altered basalt and mafic/granite contacts, consistent with the style of mineralisation at the Giles pit.

Assay results are pending.

Regional Mapping

As part of a tenement-wide data collation exercise, the Company enlisted specialist geological consultants, Model Earth Global Geological Services, to conduct 1:10,000 scale regional mapping over its entire tenure. Significant progress was made in mapping the Davyhurst \ Callion Project areas during the period.

CORPORATE

As announced on 14 December 2016, Credit Committee approval has been granted for debt facilities totalling A$25 million (Credit Approved Facilities) to be provided by Investec Australia Limited (Investec).

The Credit Approved Facilities comprise:

  • Revolving Loan Facility of A$15m (RLF);

  • Equity Linked Facility of A$10m (ELF); and

  • Gold Hedging Facility for 40,000 ounces, half of which Eastern Goldfields is required to undertake (Hedging Program) and the other half at the discretion of the Company.

The Credit Approved Facilities are intended to be utilised to complete the refurbishment of the Davyhurst Processing Plant and to provide working capital through to commencement of gold production in the first quarter of 2017 and associated ramp-up of gold production.

The RLF is subject to the following conditions precedent:

  • Completion of legal documentation;

  • Confirmation of a committed A$10m standby facility by Investmet Limited (a company controlled by Michael Fotios, Executive Chairman of Eastern Goldfields);

  • Satisfactory review of various technical matters in respect of the Davyhurst Gold Project;

  • Issue of two equal tranches of call options to Investec.

  • Other conditions precedent for typical facilities of the nature of the Credit Approved Facilities.

Eastern Goldfields is well advanced in satisfying the conditions precedent and expects the RLF to become unconditional and for first draw-down on the $15m RLF within the next quarter. The Company will advise the market when this has been completed.

The Company has elected to utilise the Investmet Standby Facility of $A10m until the gold price recovers to a satisfactory level at which point the Company expects to complete the mandatory hedging under the Investec facilities.

Together, these existing funding sources are sufficient to fund the Company to first production in the next quarter.

During the quarter, the Company received $642,600 from the exercise of 3,600,000 options.

POST QUARTER EVENTS

On 3 January 2017, the Company announced the Sand King Deposit Mineral Resource update which provided a 91% increase in ounces over the previously reported Mineral Resource. The combined indicated and inferred Mineral Resource is now 2.45 Mt @ 3.44g/t Au for 271,000 ounces (1g/t cut-off).

On 23 January 2017, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement with Heron Resources Limited (ASX: HRR) ( Heron ) and Ardea Resources Limited ( Ardea ) whereby the Company will acquire 100%[1] title to the Siberia Gold Tenements in return for payment of $100,000 plus payment of a royalty and the gold rights in respect of the Siberia Gold Rights Tenements, with Heron retaining title and the nickel rights.

While Ardea (as assigned from Heron) is acquiring the non-gold rights in respect of both the Siberia Gold Tenements and the Siberia Gold Rights Tenements, Eastern Goldfields will be responsible for payment of rates and taxes on the Siberia Gold Rights Tenements and for keeping these tenements in good standing under the Mining Act.

The Company will be liable to pay to Heron (Ardea no entitlement) a 1.5% royalty on the gross revenue from gold production on any of the tenements capped at 150,000 ounces of gold plus a payment of $1,000,000 (in cash or shares, at the Company’s election) if the Company declares a gold Mineral Reserve on these tenements to the ASX of more than 100,000 ounces of gold.

1 100% title apart from Beach Energy Ltd retaining a 10% interest in M24/665

OUTLOOK

Although the AUD gold price dropped during the quarter, it has recently recovered to around A$1,600/oz. Despite this price reduction, equity markets continue to be supportive of near term production gold companies.

Currently, detailed mine scheduling is being completed following finalisation of Resource and Reserve drilling, and site works are nearing completion. The Company remains on track for re-commissioning of the Davyhurst processing facility in the March 2017 quarter with production expected to ramp up in the following weeks.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Information for historical (Pre Eastern Goldfields Limited) drilling and sampling has been extensively viewed and validated where possible. Information pertaining to historical QAQC procedures and data is incomplete but of a sufficient quality and detail to allow drilling and assay data to be used for resource estimations. Further, Eastern Goldfields Limited has undertaken extensive infill and confirmation drilling which confirm historical drill results. Sections 1 and 2 describe the work undertaken by Eastern Goldfields Limited and only refer to historical information where appropriate and/or available.

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Goldfields Group; RC samples were routinely collected at 1m intervals and riffle split. Diamond drill core samples were taken at geological
boundaries and sawn in half. RC and diamond samples were dried, crushed, split, pulverised and a 50 gm charge taken. All sampling of
resource drilling incorporated a system of standards and blanks to keep strict control on assay reliability.
Monarch Gold Mining Company Ltd; RAB samples were collected at 1m intervals and 2m and 4m composites taken via a scoop method. RC
samples were collected at 1m, 2m and 5m intervals. 1m samples were riffle split. Samples were prepared with a single stage mix and grind
from which an assay charge was taken Composite samples with assays greater than 0.2 g/t Au were split at 1m intervals and re-analysed.
Field duplicate samples were taken and analysed every 20 samples. Blanks and standards were routinely submitted with assay batches to
evaluate sample preparation and assay accuracy.
WMC; In early drilling by WMC, samples were “panned’ for visible gold. Percussion samples were collected at 1m intervals, split in the field.
Diamond core samples were cut in half or quartered. Samples were dried in fan forced ovens at 80oC for paper packets and 140oC for
samples in calico bags, sieved using a nylon mesh .Oversize samples crushed in Jacques jaw crusher to produce -6mm sample, split employing
either a rotary or riffle splitter and pulverised using Tema Swing mills prior to analysis, except for soil and stream sediment samples finer than
80 mesh. A 25grm charge was taken for assaying.
Gilt Edged Mining NL; All RAB and RC holes were collected through a cyclone and sampled at 1m intervals, pipe or spear sampled,
composited over 5m intervals. The composite samples weighing about 3kg were despatched for analysis. 5m composites with assays greater
than 0.2 g/t Au were resampled by riffle-splitting the whole of each 1m sample down to about 3kg prior to being despatched for analysis.

by other parties.

Drilling on the tenements was completed by numerous operators, but the majority of work was completed by WMC, Lubbock, Croesus,
Monarch, Consgold, Riverina Gold Mines, Siberia Mining Corporation, Monarch Gold and Swan Gold. All work by these companies was to
industry standards of the time.
Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

A varied number of lode style deposits occur across these tenements, hosted within, mafic rocks, felsic rock and sedimentary rocks,
along with shallow deposit associated with laterisation.

Gold mineralisation varies from stacked quartz-biotite-feldspar-sulphide shear lodes within the basalt to narrow high grade quartz lodes
within sheared sediments. . Widths vary from sub 1m to ~ 6m true width, and most lode systems are steeply dipping to vertical in nature
