ASX QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ended 30[th] June 2017
SUMMARY
EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD (ASX Code: EDE)
-
Tasman through its wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd, holds 493,198,298 fully paid shares in Eden (representing 39.08% of the total issued capital of Eden) and 101,356,779 EDEO options representing 49.12% of the issued EDEO options. Based on the closing prices on the ASX of EDE ($0.22) and EDEO ($0.195) on 28 July 2017, this investment had a market value of $128 million, which is equivalent to 32.4 cents for every currently issued TAS share.
-
Highlights of Eden’s progress during the quarter are set out in the details following.
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION PROJECTS
-
A preliminary review of key geophysical data over an area west of Tasman’s flagship Vulcan IOCGU Project has been completed by a specialist consultant. As a result, further detailed gravity and magnetic modelling will be conducted over a specific coincident gravity and magnetic target, potentially a satellite IOCGU prospect at a shallower depth than Vulcan. It is anticipated that this modelling will recommend additional gravity surveying which is likely to be conducted in the next quarter.
-
No other exploration activities were conducted on Tasman’s key projects during the quarter, but an expression of interest from a potential joint venture partner for all Tasman’s SA tenements has been received and discussions are continuing.

Report for June Quarter 2017
DETAILS
INVESTMENT IN EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD (ASX Code: EDE)
Tasman through its wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd, holds 493,198,298 fully paid shares in Eden (representing 39.08% of the total issued capital of Eden) and 101,356,779 EDEO options representing 49.12% of the issued EDEO options. Based on the closing prices on the ASX of EDE ($0.22) and EDEO ($0.195) on 28 July 2017, this investment had a market value of $128 million, which is equivalent to 32.4 cents for every currently issued TAS share.
The board of Tasman believes there is potentially significant further upside in its investment in Eden and as a major part of Tasman’s investment strategy it intends to continue to hold the Eden shares and options as a long term investment.
The Highlights of progress made by Eden during the quarter are as follows:
EdenCrete[®]
-
GDOT advised that EdenCrete® is to be used in all of its State-funded, full depth concrete slab repair projects in Georgia over the next 12 months. Currently the anticipated number of projects is approximately 16. The projects may include up to 5 or 6 major repair projects, with the remainder likely to be of a smaller scale.
-
First tanker load of EdenCrete® delivered to Texas under a 3 year supply contract for use in TxDOT bridge beams in April and second tanker load supplied in July 2017.
-
A trial with a second TxDOT approved precast manufacturer for possible use in TxDOT bridge beams has been scheduled and will occur in the September quarter
-
In July 2017, a first order received from a new customer, for the use of EdenCrete® in concrete to be used in the construction of a commercial water park in Texas.
-
Testing of Eden’s expanded Colorado production facility was completed during the quarter and the expanded Colorado production facility is now operational. This enables Eden to confidently commit to greatly increased levels of sales of EdenCrete® over the coming months.
-
Eden signed Memorandum of Understanding with Korean engineering firm to review feasibility of proposed Korean EdenCrete® Distributorship. Since the end of the quarter, it has been confirmed that the Korean government laboratory trails are now scheduled to commence in within approximately 1-2 months.
-
EdenCrete® approved for use by Mississippi DOT for wear resistance, increased tensile strength, increased compressive strength, increased flexural strength, shrinkage reduction and permeability reduction.
-
EdenCrete® approved for use by North Carolina DOT.
-
Approvals for use of EdenCrete® for one or more applications now exist in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia.
-
Eden applied for a US patent in relation to methods and systems for making admixtures for concrete that contain nano-carbon particles (including carbon nanotubes), and methods and systems for making concrete using the admixtures.
Optiblend[®] Dual Fuel
- Order received in the USA during the quarter for US$53,000.

Report for June Quarter 2017
MINERAL EXPLORATION
LAKE TORRENS PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA (TASMAN 100%)
A preliminary review of key geophysical data over an area west of Tasman’s flagship Vulcan IOCGU Project has been completed by a specialist consultant. As a result, further detailed gravity and magnetic modelling will be conducted over a specific coincident gravity and magnetic target, potentially a satellite IOCGU prospect at a shallower depth than Vulcan. It is anticipated that this modelling will recommend additional gravity surveying which is likely to be conducted in the next quarter.
PARKINSON DAM GOLD-SILVER EPITHERMAL PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, EL 5602 (TASMAN 100%)
No further exploration activities were conducted on this project during the quarter.
Previous air core drilling at the Corrie Dam prospect has intersected anomalous lead, silver and copper mineralisation at shallow depths, including 25m downhole from 60m averaging 0.36% Pb and 1.4g/t Ag in hole CDAC015 and 15m down hole from 55m at 6.6g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu and 0.11% Pb in drill hole CDAC 030 (true widths are not known). These results were reported previously to the ASX on 8[th] April 2015 and on 21 May 2015.
