ASX Announcement - 2 September 2014 VTEM GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY COMPLETED FOR COPPER-RICH MASSIVE SULPHIDE TARGETS AT NOWA NOWA

Silurian rock sequence considered highly prospective for massive sulphide deposits shown to underlie Nowa Nowa Exploration Licence.

Rocks are equivalent to those that host large Cu-Pb-Zn (Au-Ag) volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits in NSW and Victoria including Benambra, Woodlawn and Captains Flat.

Drilling carried out by previous explorers intersected significant mineralisation including 13.6m @ 3.8% Cu in HARD2.

A recently completed aerial VTEM survey has defined strong conductors.

Eastern Iron Limited (ASX:EFE) is pleased to report that it has completed a detailed heli-borne electromagnetic VTEM survey over the Nowa Nowa tenement (EL 4509) in eastern Victoria. The survey was completed following a review of previous exploration and the identification of extensive Silurian volcanics believed to be the same rocks that host important VMS deposits in Victoria and southern NSW.
Drilling carried out by previous explorers within the Nowa Nowa area intersected significant copper, lead, zinc and gold mineralisation in altered volcanics and sediments, with a best intersection of

13.6m assaying 3.8% Cu at the Three Mile prospect in the south eastern corner of the licence. Although final processing of the survey data has yet to be completed, preliminary results indicates the VTEM survey has defined three strong conductors, one of which is located at the Three Mile prospect.

Nowa Nowa Copper Potential

The geology of the Nowa Nowa area is poorly understood due to meagre outcrop and Tertiary sand cover in the southern half of EL 4509. Recent drilling by Eastern Iron at the Five Mile iron deposit has identified a geological sequence of mixed facies acid to intermediate volcanics, shales and carbonates considered to be equivalent to the Upper Silurian Enano Group. These rocks or their equivalents host all the known VMS Cu-Pb-Zn (Au-Ag) deposits in the southern Lachlan Fold Belt including Woodlawn and Captains Flat as well as the Benambra deposits located approximately
100km to the north of Nowa Nowa.

Benambra

o Wilga 4.0 Mt 3.0% Cu, 0.4% Pb, 6.2% Zn, 0.5 g/t Au, 23 g/t Ag

o Currawong 10.3 Mt 2.0% Cu, 0.8% Pb, 4.0% Zn, 1.1 g/t Au, 40 g/t Ag

Woodlawn 17.7 Mt 1.7%Cu, 3.8% Pb, 9.9% Zn, 1.4 g/t Au, 80 g/t Ag

Captains Flat 4.2 Mt 0.7% Cu, 6.0% Pb, 10.0% Zn, 1.7 g/t Au, 55.0 g/t Ag

ABN 70 126 678 037



Previously this geological relationship at Nowa Nowa was not fully recognised. Consequently there has been almost no follow-up of some interesting drill intersections generated from limited exploration drilling of airborne magnetic anomalies carried out in the 1980's and early 1990's.
The map and table below shows drilling completed by previous explorers and the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) in the Nowa Nowa area. Details from the recent Eastern Iron drilling at 5 Mile is not included.

Figure 1: EL4509 - VTEM Survey area

Other than the Five Mile deposit, the most significant area of known mineralisation is the Three Mile prospect where drilling in the early 1990's investigated the source of a magnetic anomaly below shallow Tertiary sand cover. Several holes were drilled on a single line including holes HARD1 to 3 which intersected magnetite-sulphide mineralisation and several zones of significant copper, lead and zinc. The strongest intersection of 13.6m assaying 3.8% Cu from 195.8m was recorded in HARD2 (Figure 2), where high grade copper mineralisation hosted in chloritic altered sediments was reported. This intersection is untested at depth and along strike.
In addition, NOWD1 drilled by the GSV and targeting a magnetic feature below shallow Tertiary sand cover, intersected a wide zone of altered and copper mineralised volcanics, which has not been followed up.
A summary of better intersections from previous exploration drilling in EL 4509 is as follows (see plan above and Three Mile drill section below for drillhole locations):

Initial VTEM survey results

The VTEM or Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic system is the most innovative and successful airborne electromagnetic system to be introduced in more than 30 years. It has demonstrated capacity to detect buried massive sulphide bodies similar to those targeted by Eastern Iron within the Nowa Nowa licence. The recent survey was flown using Geotech Airborne Pty Ltd's VTEM - Max airborne EM system with 235 line kms flown along east west lines spaced 200m apart.
Preliminary unprocessed and levelled results from the Nowa Nowa survey point to at least four significant bedrock conductors with one being coincident with known mineralisation at the Three Mile prospect. Further processing of the data will be required before the anomalies can be fully
assessed.

Criteria Explanation

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

The VTEM survey was carried out across a large portion of EL 4509 which is held 100% by Gippsland Iron Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastern Iron Ltd. The majority of the area surveyed was over Crown land designated State Forest.

Exploration done by other parties

Some historical exploration has been carried out by other companies including, airborne magnetic surveys, RC and Diamond core drilling.

Geology

The area is dominated by elements of the Buchan Rift with Silurian and Devonian sediments and volcanics preserved in North - South trending fault and graben structures developed in older Ordovician turbidites. Mineralisation styles sought are volcanogenic (VMS) massive base metal sulphides similar to those at Benambra.

Compliance Note on Historic Data

1. The drill holes reported from the Three Mile prospect where both truck mounted RC holes (TPH4,

4A, 5, 5A and 6) and diamond core (Hard 1-4, NOWD 1-3). No information is available on actual sampling methods.

2. Drill hole collar positions have been taken from the Victorian Governments GeoVic online geospatial database system and have not been verified in the field or from other reports. Azimuth and elevation data is only available from the section shown in the report (Figure 2)

3. Drilling reports record assay techniques being fire assay for gold and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for all other elements. Diamond core samples were collected from split core over visually mineralised intervals. No mention is made of duplicate samples or standards.

4. Sample recovery was compiled on drill logs in some holes although.

5. Adequate, industry-standard geological logs were completed.

6. Eastern Iron considers considers that the historic drill data is of variable quality depending on the company collecting the data but is generally inadequate compared to industry standards today and serves solely to indicate the presence of geochemical anomalism and record in-hole geology. It is unlikely that historic drill data could be used in future resource estimates.
