Mount Wheeler

• The Mount Wheeler Project covers the northern part of the Cawarral Gold Trend, an interpreted regional gold mineralisation corridor.

• Numerous gold nuggets, some as large as 259oz Au, have reportedly been recovered from colluvial sources around Mount Wheeler.

• Bedrock gold mineralisation is hosted by shear zones and quartz reefs within serpentinite and gabbro.

• Recorded gold production from selective mining of bedrock reefs at the Galawa Mine in the Mount Wheeler Goldfield averaged 62g/t Au.

• The Hibernia and Long Tunnel mines in the Constitution Hill Goldfield are reported to have produced gold at an average grade of 25g/t Au.

• The historic mine workings have not been subjected to systematic drill testing. Only four shallow RC holes have been completed by a previous explorer at the Galawa Mine. Three of these holes intersected old workings. The remaining historic gold mining areas on Echo's tenement have not been drill tested for bedrock gold mineralisation.

• Drilling under gold workings in the Annie-Cawarral Goldfield (in areas outside Echo's tenement) has yielded results of 2m @ 232g/t Au from surface and 7m @ 3.0g/t Au from 83m.
