ETHAN MINERALS SIGNS ‘MOU’ IN INDONESIA TO DEVELOP A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT GOLD DEPOSIT

Perth based explorer, Ethan Minerals Limited (ASX: ETH, “ETH”) is pleased to announce to the market that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Indonesian based Company, PT AL Maruf (“PT AM”) to develop the Gold Tiger Mining Concession Area (“GTMCA”) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The MOU establishes Ethan’s exclusive right to develop, mine, process, transport and sell gold ore products from the Kapuas Project within the GTMCA. PT AM has recently been granted a Gold Ore Mining Licence for the area from the Regent of Kapuas, Central Kalimantan. The valid licence area covers 125,000 hectares. An initial 25,000 hectares has already been awarded and a further 100,000 hectares under application. Ethan will be responsible for providing the expertise and support needed in the construction of the mining facilities, mining, exploitation and operation of the GTMCA Project.

Ethan Minerals is also pleased to advise the establishment of an office in Indonesia, located in Makassar, Sulawesi and is staffed by a team of professionals led by Australian expatriate, Mr. Richard Lee who has 30 years experience in mining operations in Australia and Indonesia. The team will continue to evaluate a number of other attractive mining projects in Indonesia, including a number of iron sands and chrome sands projects.

The PT AM transaction has been formally executed and initial verification has been obtained by Ethan’s lawyers in Jakarta, that the vendor has all the required licences and permits for the licence area and development of the project.

The terms of the agreement with the vendor, PT AL Maruf (“PT. AM”) are as follows:

  • Ethan Minerals has paid a refundable deposit of $US500,000, receipt of which has been formally acknowledged thus completing the terms of the MOU, which will be refunded if the information regarding the deposit as provided by the vendor, does not correlate with the information as determined in the due diligence exercise. Ethan has security over the respective titles, approvals and licences to the respective areas to support the right of a full refund.

  • The due diligence will encompass a period of two months. This will comprise an examination of all the data compiled by PT Geoservices over the past four years, as contained in a data room in Bandung, Kalimantan. Verification of the samples will be undertaken through field visits to the site, independent sampling of the mineralization and analysis by a suitably qualified commercial laboratory. Analysis of the samples will take about four weeks to complete.

  • The outlined basic terms of the agreement are that PT. AM will be paid a royalty of 10 per cent of the net sales revenue from gold sales pertaining to the GTMCA. A full form agreement is expected to be drafted and executed in due course.

  • Once the licences are in place for the remaining 100,000 hectares, Ethan Minerals will reimburse PT. AM an expected US$2.5 million for the costs that PT AM will have incurred for the granting of the appropriate licences and approvals. This is anticipated to occur in about 2 to 3 months’ time.

  • Upon completion of the due diligence process, Ethan Minerals will advance US$5 million to PT AM as an advance on net sales revenue payments. These advances will be repaid to Ethan Minerals as follows:

  • US$500,000 from the first gold shipment,

  • US$1,000,000 from the second gold shipment and

  • US$3,500,000 from the third gold shipment.

Under the conditions set out in the MOU, Ethan has the right to mine a 125,000 hectare prospect area in central Kalimantan around the Kapuas River. The initial rights are to 25,000 hectares (over which all the appropriate licences have been issued) with the exclusive rights to the remaining 100,000 hectares once the appropriate licences are in place.

MineMap have reviewed the geological information but under the terms of the MOU, that information could not be physically passed to MineMap until the MOU was signed and the US$500,000 refundable deposit was made.

A geological survey conducted by PT.Geoservices, a Bandung (Indonesia) based geological survey company, in 2006 indicated that the mining concession areas contained an estimated tonnage ranging between 100,000,000 and 200,000,000 of alluvial material at an estimated grade range between 5 g/t and 10 g/t gold. Over 500 samples were taken by PT.Geoservices during field survey activities comprising of mapping, sampling for geochemistry and test pit program.

MineMap wishes state that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. At this stage the mining concession areas represent potentially significant exploration targets.

MineMap and its employee, Mr. Seldon Mart, is a competent person under the JORC requirements for ASX announcements of this nature and has been retained by Ethan Minerals to undertake a due diligence exercise on the geological information generated by PT Geoservices. Please refer to the attached report dated 22 April 2010 regarding this deposit issued by MineMap and its employee, Mr. William Seldon Mart.

In consideration of the definition provided by the ASX and in the JORC Code, these properties are classified as potentially significant exploration projects. The properties are considered to be sufficiently prospective, however, are subject to varying degrees of risk which warrant further exploration and possible development of their economic potential, consistent with the programs proposed by Ethan.

Given that the deposit is primarily of an alluvial nature, it is anticipated that the capital expenditure required will not be unduly onerous to Ethan. Alluvial deposits of this type are usually mined by a basic earth moving model with the use of sluices, spiral separators and shaker tables. However, the exact requirement for mining equipment will be determined by a Bankable Feasibility Study that will be undertaken by MineMap who have been engaged on this basis. MineMap will compile a 3D mining model to delineate the deposits parameters. The grade location and pit design to optimise the resource will also be determined by MineMap. MineMap is also undertaking a similar exercise for Ethan’s Mary Springs Lead Prospect at the Northampton Project, to update the current JORC quoted resources. The report for the Mary Spring’s Prospect is expected within a month.

For further detailed information on the project’s potential please refer to the attached report by MineMap which details sample grade estimates for the alluvial deposit as provided by PT Geoservices.

The data provided by PT Geoservices indicates that the deposit is possibly of a high grade nature. Unlike hard rock, deposits that are common in Australia, alluvial deposits are not usually uniform, but can contain zones of high and low grade mineralization. As outlined above, substantial further testing and sampling will be required, however, if the information available to-date is confirmed the GTMCA Project should prove to be highly prospective.

Ethan Minerals has not yet commenced negotiations regarding the funding of this gold project as it has been under a confidentiality agreement until now. Given the possible potential of the project, the relative low capital expenditure costs as outlined above, it is anticipated that given the bullish outlook for gold, funding Ethan Minerals’ obligations regarding this transaction should be relatively straightforward.

Currently, these properties are classified as potentially significant exploration projects and Ethan Minerals plans to undertake additional drilling and sampling to validate the current potential and to produce a JORC compliant resource.

In commenting on the establishment of the MOU and the significant potential the Gold Tiger Mining Concession Area affords Ethan Minerals, Mr. Ken Fitzgerald, Executive Director, said,

“It was always the Company’s intention to explore opportunities, both onshore and offshore that would be of economic interest. When this opportunity was brought to the attention of the Board of Ethan Minerals, it represented a real opportunity for the Company to fast track its ambition to transition from a pure exploration company and to emerge as a significant pre-production junior miner.”

“Participation in this project provides the Company with a presence in Indonesia where we have local expertise on the ground to manage and assist in the negotiations and facilitation process. This project will also greatly assist in fast tracking the operational side and provide very significant offshore exposure for the Company.”

Yours Faithfully

Mr. K. Fitzgerald Executive Director

Dear Sirs/Madams

Independent Resource Geologist’s Report on the Mining Concession Areas of Ethan Minerals Limited’s Gold Tiger “Gold” Project, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

MineMap Pty Ltd (‘MineMap’) has been commissioned by Ethan Minerals Limited (ACN 124 354 329) (‘Ethan’) to provide an Independent Resource Geologist’s report and preliminary statement on the Company’s Gold Tiger Mining Concession Areas, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This statement is to be included in an announcement to be lodged by Ethan Minerals Limited with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The project review being undertaken by MineMap is to provide Ethan with a “JORC” compliant evaluation of its Gold Tiger “Gold” Project, Central Kalimantan The report is to provide a range of conceptual deposit sizes potentially contained within the mining concession areas ‘mineral field’ and to provide an insight into efficient exploration for those deposits. The statement is based on information provided by the title holders along with technical reports by consultants, previous tenement holders and other relevant published and unpublished data for the mining concession areas. MineMap has endeavoured by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the technical data upon which the “JORC” report is to be based. Ethan was given a final draft of this statement and thereby given an opportunity to identify any material errors or omissions in it. MineMap has not verified the status of tenure or any related access issues associated with the mining concession areas. This statement complies with section 716(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 where consent is required if statements have been attributed to third parties.

A geological survey conducted by PT.Geoservices, a Bandung (Indonesia) based geological survey company, in 2006 indicated that the mining concession areas contained an estimated tonnage ranging between 100,000,000 and 200,000,000 of alluvial material at an estimated grade range between 5 g/t and 10 g/t gold. Over 500 samples were taken by PT.Geoservices during field survey activities comprising of mapping, sampling for geochemistry and test pit program.

The following qualifying statement is an integral part of this announcement: The project is currently being reviewed under JORC Code standards by MineMap and that MineMap wishes state “that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further

It is common practise for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. It should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resources and Reserves have not been used in this context.

==> picture [239 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

The potential quality and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient review work completed to define the mining concession areas beyond exploration targets.

In consideration of the definition provided by the ASX and in the JORC Code, these properties are classified as potentially significant exploration projects. The properties are considered to be sufficiently prospective, however, subject to varying degrees of risk, warranting further exploration and development of their economic potential consistent with the programs proposed by Ethan.

MineMap and its employees are not, nor intend to be, directors, officers or other direct employees of Ethan and have no material interest in any of the projects or Ethan. The relationship with Ethan is solely one of professional association between client and independent consultant. The review work and this statement are prepared in return for professional fees based upon agreed commercial rates and the payment of these fees are in no way contingent on the results of this statement and for coming JORC report.

Assay and geological data presented in this statement are excerpts from PT. Al – Maruf Corporation’s Information Memorandum dated December 2009.

Yours faithfully
