Title: Mount Doreen Mineral Field Project EL 31305 Annual report for the period 6 June 2018 to 5 June 2019

Abstract: No field work was carried out on EL 31305 during the reporting year. Planning for the year 2 work program has been finalised and is timed to begin in the second half of 2019. The 2019 work program will incorporate the remainder of the year 1 program expenditures. Year 1 work consisted of an extensive review of historical open file data in order to target field work locations for geochemical sampling and mapping. The focus of the Litchfield Minerals field exploration work in EL 31305 will be the Wolfram Hill site. The aim is to fully assess the mineralisation in the ground covering an area of 1.5 kilometres x 400 metres surrounding the peak of 50 metres height. The Litchfield Minerals year one desktop studies of EL 31305 prospects and mineral occurrences have identified structures that need to be sampled and mapped at Wolfram Hill, the Patmungala Beds, the Silver King, the Clarke copper mines 1 to 3, The Ringer tungsten occurrence and the Mount Irene base metals workings. The exploration target minerals at the Wolfram Hill site are Tungsten, Molybdenum, Copper and Tin. Previous Energy Metals Ltd sampling assay results, accessed by the author, clearly show highly anomalous Ag, Cs, Nb and Te within the Wolfram Hill mineralisation. Historical assays by other explorers in the area only assayed for a small range of elements and subsequently missed out on identifying the more exotic elements contained within the Wolfram Hill site. Some of these more esoteric elements identified in the assays are highly valuable and sought after in Alternative Energy applications. Geologically, EL 31305 sits at the Mount Doreen Mineral Field in Arunta Region of Aileron Province. The major rock types include Mesoproterozoic-Paleoproterozoic variably metamorphosed clastic sediments, meta volcanic rock, calc-silicate rocks, dolerite, mafic rock and intrusion granite. Minerals hosted by the rocks include metamorphosed VMS and carbonate replacement Pb-Zn-Cu, iron-oxide Cu-Au, orogenic Au, W(-Mo), Sn, mafic-hosted Ni-Cu, Hydrothermal U and apatite- and pegmatite-hosted REE-U(-P). The title lies within the Mount Doreen 250K map sheet (SF5212).
