QUARTERLY OPERATIONS REPORT TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Further and extensive drilling is being undertaken at the Mannar Island heavy mineral project in Sri Lanka by the vendor group.

  • Visual indications of heavy mineral concentration now cover an expanding area of over 26km[2] of Mannar Island. This is in addition to the 5km[2] covered by the previously reported resources and an increase of 6km[2] from the area previously reported on the 12[th] of September.

  • Drilling undertaken in a prospective corridor now nearly links the two previously reported areas of high grade ilmenite and leucoxene resources on Mannar Island.

  • The corridor indicates an extensive new area of mineralisation contiguous with the previously defined inferred resource on Mannar Island.

  • In excess of 1,000 shallow auger holes have been drilled with drilling to continue on the balance of the corridor by the vendor group.

  • Samples will be processed in dedicated sample preparation facilities on Mannar Island before shipping to a mineral sands analytical laboratory at the conclusion of the program.

  • It is anticipated an upgraded resource statement will be available upon completion of the drilling program and analysis.

OPERATIONS

SRI LANKAN MINERAL SANDS PROJECT

As reported to the ASX on the 12[th] of September the vendor of the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Project in Sri Lanka (Figure 1), Srinel Holdings Ltd has been undertaking further shallow auger drilling and had defined an area of heavy mineral concentration of 20km[2] .Since that date drilling has been on going and the area of heavy mineral concentration continues to expand and now covers 26km[2] (Figure 2). This is in addition to the 5km[2] covered by the previously report resources. This continues to confirm Srinel’s and Windimurra’s confidence in the strength of the project. This drilling will enable the momentum of the project to be maintained while final Windimurra shareholder approval for the acquisition is sought.

Figure 1 Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Sand Project location.

The initial Mannar Island heavy mineral resource has been previously reported at 10.3Mt at 11.7% Total Heavy Minerals*. This high grade Total Heavy Mineral (THM) suite is dominated by ilmenite (47.3%) and higher value leucoxene (11.4%), and the deposit has very low levels of slimes (2%). This initial resource was based on drilling along a narrow strip of the Mannar shoreline generally not extending more than 150m inland (Figure 2) and covering in total around 5km[2] .

Figure 2 Auger drilling and areas of heavy mineral concentration, Mannar Island

The latest Srinel drilling has been undertaken in the prospective paleo beach plain corridor previously identified by Windimurra as extending for over 45km[2] across Mannar Island (Figure 1). The program was designed and the results compiled here by Windimurra. A hand auger pattern drilling program is being undertaken as a first pass test of the entire target zone. To date over 1,000 holes have been completed (Appendix Tables 1 and 2 list the 191 drill holes completed since the 12[th] of September ASX announcement). The drill lines are 800m apart and drill holes separations of between 50m and 100m. Subsequent infill drilling in areas of heavy mineral concentration will be necessary to provide sufficient data density for resource then reserve modelling. Due to the consistent blanket geometry of the beach plain sediments it is possible to drill using (Dormer) shell sand augers down to the present water table at 1 to 3m below the present land surface. This form of drilling is being completed quickly and at exceptionally low cost in this terrain.

These latest holes have been logged in detail as they were drilled and sampled at 0.5m intervals. Heavy mineral concentrations were readily identifiable and have been found to extend over at least an area of 26km[ 2] . Drilling is continuing in the prospective corridor. Samples are being processed in a dedicated sample preparation facility on Mannar Island before shipping to a mineral sands analytical laboratory at the conclusion of the program for heavy mineral determination and then mineralogical investigations of the heavy mineral suite. The Company anticipates that a revised resource statement will be prepared in due course.

ABOUT THE MANNAR ISLAND HEAVY MINERAL SAND PROJECT

Srinel Holdings Ltd is an unlisted company registered in Mauritius which holds via subsidiary companies 13 exploration licences (covering 348km[2] )and an exploration license application (covering 42km[2] ). Windimurra has exercised its option to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Srinel under the updated terms as released to ASX on 29 January 2016. The acquisition does however in addition require Windimurra shareholder approval at a general meeting. This process is underway.

An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% (Table 2) was reported to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015 *. This resource was based on an historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in 2014. The drilling and the defined resource envelope were largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar Island shoreline.

Table 1 JORC inferred mineral resource Mannar Island Project *.

The reported mineral resource at Mannar indicates a high grade deposit with leucoxene grades alone approaching that of specialised leucoxene producers, but also having in addition very high (by industry standards) ilmenite grades and significant subsidiary amounts of the premium value minerals of rutile and zircon.

WINDIMURRA VANADIUM PROJECT

The Company has relinquished a mining lease M58/272 in the Mid-West Region of Western. The tenure was assessed as having insufficient exploration potential.

* An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% was reported in full to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015.This resource was based on an historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in early 2015. The drilling and the defined resource envelope were largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar

Island shoreline. The Company confirms that this resource statement remains current in regards to the areas covered by the drilling used in the resource model.

Except where indicated, exploration results above have been compiled by James Searle BSc (hons), PhD, a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with over 34 years experience in metallic and energy minerals exploration and development, and as such has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Searle is the Managing Director of Windimurra Vanadium Limited and consents to the inclusion of this technical information in the format and context in which it appears.

JORC TABLE 2

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

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

All drilling, sampling and sample splitting procedures were designed and audited by Dr James Searle, the Competent Person named in the body of this report.

Criteria **Explanation ** Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
• Includereference tomeasures

100% of recovered sample
collected, riffle split, and bagged
at drill site.

Sample interval down hole every
0.5m or part interval.

No sampling below water table.
Criteria **Explanation ** Commentary
taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).

appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters
used in determining the analysis

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay
data.

Prior to the completion of the
program the following verification
procedures will be undertaken.

Independently supervised repeat
drilling will twin between 5 and
10% of holes showing significant
heavy mineral mineralisation.

Samples from the verification
drilling will be bagged and sealed
by the Independent and
consigned as whole sample to
another laboratory for sample
prep and analysis.

survey andDTMtiein.
Criteria **Explanation ** Commentary
used.
• Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has
_been applied. _

Drilling spacing varying from 50m
to 100m along lines at 800m
nominal separations along the
mineralisation trend.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent
to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Shoreline concentrated heavy
minerals when preserved by net
coastal progradation seaward
form strands of mineralisation that
can vary from 10s to hundreds of
metres wide but many hundreds
or metres and kilometres long.
Drill lines are therefore optimally
oriented across the trend direction
of the paleo shoreline positions.
Drill hole spacing along the lines
were designed to find HM strands
as narrow as 25 to 50m wide.
Separation of the drill lines along
the paleo shoreline orientations
reflects the much greater along
shore dimensions of any
potentially economic strands.
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Custody of samples documented,
and integrity of packaging
monitored.
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

Duplicated sample splits and
samples from twinned holes will
be used to demonstrate QA/QC

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria **Explanation **
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
• Type, reference name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with
third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
• The security of the tenure held at
the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a
_licence to operate inthe area. _

Granted exploration licenses.

No known overriding interests
at this stage.

Normal state royalty regime.
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Previously reported to the ASX.
Criteria **Explanation **
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

Holocene to Modern coastal
sand deposit hosted heavy
mineralsands
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the drill
hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level
– elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and
interception depth

hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
_explain why this is the case. _

Tabulation of all drill hole
information contained within
Table 1 of the announcement
above, with the exception of RL
which will be provided later
when a DTM is available. At
this time collar elevation is
considered not material due to
the lack of significant elevation
changes over the area.
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
_should be clearly stated. _

No laboratory results available
at this time_._
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
• These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be
reported.
• If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _

Heavy mineral zones in beach
sediments are flat or only very
shallowly dipping. All drill holes
were vertical.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being

Plans of drill hole locations
historical and subject of this
announcement are provided in
summary.
Criteria **Explanation **
reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.

Sectional representations not
considered relevant as the drill
depths were rarely more than
2m.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of
all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration
_Results. _

All holes drilled are contained in
Table 1.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations;
geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
_or contaminating substances. _

Not applicable.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is
_not commercially sensitive. _

Completion of the first pass
testing 45km2area of
prospective beach plain will
require about another 100
auger holes. This is underway.
