ASX QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ended 30[th] September 2018

SUMMARY

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION PROJECTS

Pernatty

  • Tasman completed a detailed gravity survey during the quarter over Exploration Licence 6137, on the southern Stuart Shelf, approximately 20km southeast from the Carrapateena IOCGU* deposit. The survey consisted of 358 new gravity stations over an area of approximately 90 km[2] . Tasman initially targeted the area for IOCGU-style mineralisation based on available geophysical data, its proximity to Carrapateena, the possibility of reasonable basement depth and its regional geological setting, based on other studies by Tasman.

Integration of the new gravity results with existing geophysical data is in progress. Depending upon results, Tasman may consider sole funding of the testing of any attractive IOCGU targets, if defined, or a joint venture if a suitable partner is identified.

Vulcan and Vulcan West

  • During the quarter, two major companies continued to review available data covering Vulcan and Vulcan West prospects. Tasman is hoping that these reviews will be completed in the near future. Initial discussions in relation to a possible joint venture have commenced.

In the event that a joint venture is not concluded, Tasman, may drill test at least one of the attractive IOCGU* targets at Vulcan West, firmed up in the latest ground gravity surveying and geophysical modelling. This work defined a number of drilling targets (potential Carrapateena-size IOCGU deposits) of which five are modelled at depths considerably shallower than Tasman’s nearby Vulcan prospect.

EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD (ASX Code: EDE)

  • Tasman through its wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd, holds 594,555,077 fully paid shares in Eden (representing 39.08% of the total issued capital of Eden).

LAKE TORRENS PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA (TASMAN 100%)

Pernatty

Tasman completed a detailed gravity survey during the quarter over Exploration Licence 6137, on the southern Stuart Shelf, approximately 20km southeast from the Carrapateena IOCGU deposit (Figure 1). The survey consisted of 358 new gravity stations over an area of approximately 90 km[2] . The area was targeted by Tasman for IOCGU-style mineralisation due to initial geophysical data, its proximity to Carrapateena, the possibility of reasonable basement depth and its regional geological setting, based on other studies by Tasman.

Integration of the new gravity results with existing geophysical data is in progress. Depending upon results, Tasman may consider sole funding of the testing of any attractive IOCGU targets if defined, or a joint venture if a suitable partner is identified.

Vulcan and Vulcan West

During the quarter, two major companies continued to review available data covering Vulcan and Vulcan West prospects. Tasman is hoping this work will be completed within the near future. Discussions in relation to a possible joint venture have commenced.

In the event that a joint venture is not concluded, Tasman, may drill test at least one of the attractive IOCGU targets at Vulcan West, firmed up in the latest ground gravity surveying and geophysical modelling.
