Eastern Metals : Strategic Cu-Li-REEs Acquisition Arunta, Northern Territory

Managing Director and CEO, Wayne Rossiter said,

"Our Arunta Project has been significantly enhanced with this acquisition which dramatically increases the scope to discover additional copper and gold resources along trend from the Home of Bullion Mine, in addition to targets already identified on existing tenure. This new area is known to have anomalous copper from earlier exploration. The significant increase this Acquisition brings in the Barrow Creek

onlypegmatite field and broader Arunta Pegmatite Province provides Eastern Metals with significantly increased potential for discovery, not just of lithium, but also REEs, base metals and gold."

Neutral Junction Project

The Neutral Junction Project acquired from Bowgan comprises two distinct tenement areas, all located within the Northern Arunta Pegmatite Province. These are the northern Home of Bullion - Donkey usecreek areas and the southern Adnera area. These fall within Eastern Metals' Arunta Project area, which is situated to the east of the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek near Barrow

Creek. personalFor

on EL23186, which was acquired from Kidman Resources (now owned by Wesfarmers) which hosts a total Identified Mineral Resource of 2.5 million tonnes averaging 1.8% copper, 2.0% zinc, 36g/t silver, 1.2% lead and 0.14g/t gold, The Home of Bullion deposit is classified as an Advanced Exploration Project under the Valmin Code.

The Home of Bullion-Donkey Creek tenements acquired from Bowgan were subject to previous exploration by Aberfoyle during 1995-1996 which confirmed anomalous levels of copper-lead-zinc, along with gold and silver however no targets were followed up with deep drilling. Eastern Metals is actively reviewing historical exploration information over this area. This area, which lies within the Barrow Creek

egmatite field, is also prospective for gold, silver, REEs, and lithium.

Eastern Metals' strategy is to conduct resource expansion drilling on the Home of Bullion deposit where Forthe existing resource remains open along strike and dip. In addition numerous potential VMS targets exist along trend, principally to the west and northwest of the deposit. This copper trend continues from our existing tenure into the Home-ofBullion-Donkey Creek tenement package acquired from Bowgan

which includes the Mulbangas copper prospect.

Adnera Area

Adnera tenements are located within the Arunta Block, with prospectivity for economic copper and gold being recognised within an orogenic (Tanami-style) and IOCG (Tennant Creek-style) deposit setting.

These tenements are adjacent to the Sandover Project held by Encounter Resources (ASX:ENR), where high grade copper has been identified at surface in an interpreted Zambian copper belt analogue.

Exploration potential for REEs is also identified within an alaskite (alkali feldspar leucogranite) further east of Adnera Creek where high zirconium values were confirmed. This area is also prospective for

onlygold, silver, REEs, and lithium bearing pegmatites.

Barrow Creek Pegmatite Field

Eastern Metals' EL 23186 and Home of Bullion and Donkey Creek tenements acquired from Bowgan lie within the Barrow Creek pegmatite field. The pegmatites in this area intrude metamorphosed mudstones, sandstones, schists and amphibolite of the Palaeoproterozoic Bullion Schist, which itself is the host rock useof the Company's Home of Bullion copper deposit. The pegmatites are thought to be related to the Barrow Creek granite complex, which occurs widely throughout the Barrow Creek area, including at Prospect D in EL 23186 where it outcrops. Interpretation of geophysical data suggests the granite occurs

at shallow depth in the Home of Bullion area also.

personalSeveral companies have recently commenced exploration for lithium in the pegmatites in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field and in the wider Northern Arunta pegmatite province, however, there has been no

prior exploration for lithium in the Company's Barrow Creek project area.

Pegmatites in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field are grouped into three main zones known as the western group of pegmatites, the eastern group and the Neutral Junction group. Some of these pegmatites were worked on a generally small scale, largely for tin, tungsten, tantalum and mica, mainly from the 1940s to the 1980s. The pegmatites are up to a kilometre or so in strike length and from less than a metre to a f w metres wide. The Northern Territory Geological Survey (Frater, 2005) has reported analyses of grab samples taken from 12 pegmatite workings in the Barrow Creek field. The highest lithium values, averaging 570 ppm Li, were obtained from pegmatites in the Neutral Junction group. This result was amongst the highest values returned from sampling in the wider Northern Arunta pegmatite province. The main occurrences in the Neutral Junction group are about 3 kilometres south of the Neutral Junction

Forhomestead. EL 23186 is on the Neutral Junction pastoral lease, about 4 kilometres to the east of the homestead.

The Northern Arunta Pegmatite Province covers a large area of the Arunta Block centred around the Stuart Highway, just north of Alice Springs to south of Tennant Creek. It extends to the west to the Tanami Highway and to the east to the Plenty Highway. There is a large number of tin, tungsten, tantalum, mica and workings for other minerals developed in pegmatites in this province. Until very recently, no systematic exploration for lithium had been carried out in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field.

Lithium is known to occur elsewhere in pegmatites in the minerals spodumene, petalite and lepidolite, a mica.
