MHM QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

MHM Metals (ASX: MHM) is pleased to provide the following Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 30 September 2015.

Paul Kopejtka assumed the position of Non-Executive Chairman effective July 1, 2015.

During the Quarter, Joseph van den Elsen assumed the role of Company CEO and Managing Director, replacing outgoing CEO and Managing Director Matthew Keen.

A continued focus on cost cutting measures through the reduction in the CEO/MD remuneration and Non-Executive Director fees and the streamlining of the company’s back office function has reduced the forward looking fixed quarterly Corporate overhead to c$125,000, relative to an average of c$395,000 during the 2014 Calendar Year.

Moolap Operations

The Company closed the Moolap Plant on 30 September 2015, the same date on which the 3 remaining employees’ employment was discontinued.

The Audited carrying value of the Moolap Property, Plant & Equipment as at 30 June 2015 is approximately $1.2m AUD and the remediation of the remaining legacy stock piles has been provisioned at c$700,000 AUD in the annual accounts.

Post the operational closure of the Moolap facilities the clean-up operation currently underway continues. The clean-up will require the removal, either by sale and/or disposal of the remaining partly processed material on the site at 80 Buckley Grove. The Company is focused on completing the clean- up in the most cost effective and environmentally sensitive manner.

Once the Moolap facility is remediated to an acceptable standard the Company will look to dispose of the property, plant and equipment.
