ASX Announcement – 14 December 2015 HIGH GRADE ZINC RESULTS AT PORTE-AUX-MOINES Digital conversion of data from previous BRGM exploration and mine development work at Porte-aux-Moines deposit progressed as part of JORC Resource estimation work. Assay results received for 56 of the 58 holes drilled into the deposit. Numerous high grade results were recorded including 27.0 metres @ 14.0% zinc, 3.3% lead, 0.8% copper, 161.4 g/t silver, 0.8 g/t gold from 143.5 metres (26.0% Zn Eq) in PAM14 12.5 metres @ 11.3% zinc, 2.7% lead, 2.5% copper, 157 g/t silver from 49 metres (24.2% Zn Eq) in SF08 19.0 metres @ 9.5% zinc, 1.7% lead, 1.2% copper, 103.3 g/t silver from 15 metres (17.6% Zn Eq) in SF12 8.5 metres @ 14.5% zinc, 3.4% lead, 1.6% copper, 144.2 g/t silver from 99.5 metres (27.2% Zn Eq) in SF27 Interpreted mineralised envelope defined over a strike length in excess of 300 metres. Potential economic significance of the deposit continues to be confirmed. Assays will contribute to the calculation of a 2012 JORC compliant Resource, planned for completion Q1 2016. Variscan Mines Limited (ASX: VAR) is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary Variscan Mines SAS has made good progress in converting historic exploration data from the Porte-auxMoines volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit within the Merléac exploration licence, Brittany, France to electronic formats as part of JORC Resource estimation work. The work has identified numerous of high grade zinc-lead-copper-silver intervals within massive sulphide horizons confirming the overall high grade nature of the deposit. The work provides strong evidence that a robust JORC compliant Resource estimate can be generated for the deposit once additional geological and check work is completed. ASX Code: VAR Web - www.variscan.com.au BRGM and Recent work Former exploration by the BRGM (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières - the French geological survey) at the Porte-aux-Moines VMS deposit has been extensive and of high quality. The BRGM conducted a major exploration programme at the deposit from 1976-1984 including approximately ten kilometres of surface and underground drilling and two kilometres of underground mine development. This work defined zones of high grade zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold mineralization up to 20 metres thick from near surface to a depth of about 300 metres within a stacked massive sulphide system. Recently, Variscan Mines sampled the three remaining preserved surface core holes drilled into Porte-aux-Moines announcing a number of outstanding, high grade, zinc-dominant, polymetallic intersections (see ASX announcements dated 19 May, 20 and 29 July 2015). In November the Company received a comprehensive two gigabyte dataset from the BRGM containing scanned copies of all available technical information generated by the BRGM exploration work at Porte-aux-Moines including drill hole logs, assays, mine development, mapping data and metallurgical work. Variscan staff have commenced converting this data to electronic formats to allow 3D modelling of the deposit and the generation of a 2012 JORC Resource estimate. Progress has been good with survey and assay data for the majority of surface and underground drill holes now captured and modelled into Surpac. Of the 58 holes drilled into Porte-aux-Moines by the BRGM, zinc-lead-copper-(+- silver) assays have been received for 56, with a small proportion of holes also analysed for gold. In summary, the recent work by Variscan has 1. Confirmed the overall high grade nature of the deposit. A significant number of intersections at >15 % zinc equivalence have been recorded both in surface and underground holes (Table B) with individual assay intervals up to 50.3% zinc equivalence (for notes on Zn Eq calculation go to bottom of Table B). These include  27.0 metres @ 14.0% zinc, 3.3% lead, 0.8% copper, 161.4 g/t silver, 0.8 g/t gold from 143.5 metres (26.0% Zn Eq) in PAM14.  12.5 metres @ 11.3% zinc, 2.7% lead, 2.5% copper, 157 g/t silver from 49 metres (24.2% Zn Eq) in SF08.  19.0 metres @ 9.5% zinc, 1.7% lead, 1.2% copper, 103.3 g/t silver from 15 metres (17.6% Zn Eq) in SF12.  8.5 metres @ 14.5% zinc, 3.4% lead, 1.6% copper, 144.2 g/t silver from 99.5 metres (27.2% Zn Eq)in SF27. 2. Indicated mineralisation extends over a strike length of more than 300 metres, with a recent VTEM survey by Variscan suggesting possible extensions outside the drilled area to the west (ASX announcement dated 28 September 2015). 3. Confirmed a zone of thick, high grade mineralisation from around -150 metres to -250 meters below the surface (Figure 1). Page | 2 ASX Announcement - 14 December 2015 4. Highlighted the good data density (drill hole intercepts and underground cross-cuts) within the main mineralised envelope, enhancing the likely reliability of geological interpretations and resource models. Importantly, Variscan's recent resampling of core holes PAM5, 8 and 16 has confirmed the good quality of previous BRGM base and precious metal assaying, detecting little variation between results from the BRGM and ALS Geochemistry. This provides high confidence in the veracity and accuracy of the remaining BRGM drill hole and mine development assays to allow calculation of a Resource to 2012 JORC standards. This work has commenced and is expected to be completed in Q1 2016. Figure 1 - Cross section through the Porte-aux-Moines deposit highlighting the high grade BRGM assays in PAM14. The gold values in PAM14 are incomplete and likely to be lower than the actual gold grades. Assays from PAM16 (light grey background) are from ALS Geochemistry and were reported 20 July 2015. The geological interpretation comes from BRGM reports. Page | 3 ASX Announcement - 14 December 2015 Yours faithfully ..............................

Holes PAM5, PAM8 and PAM16 have complete gold assays per interval (from ALS). All other holes have not been assayed for gold or have incomplete gold assays. The Zinc Equivalent is based on zinc (US$1,800 per tonne), lead (US$1,800 per tonne), copper (US$5,600 per tonne), silver (US$15 per ounce) and gold (US$1,150 per ounce). The zinc equivalent calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by a price based conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent zinc percent per tonne. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Nevertheless, it is the Company's opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have good poten tial to be recovered as is commonly the case for similar VMS deposits worldwide. The zinc equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only.

Most mineralised intercepts recorded >95% recoveries, but this was variable dependent on ground conditions.  Holes PAM5,8 and 16 were re-logged by Variscan geologists and entered into an electronic database  All other holes were logged by BRGM geologists onto paper log sheets  Details, including survey information, geological logs (converted to Variscan legend), assay data and recoveries are now being entered into an electronic database by Variscan geologists For hole PAM5, 8 and 16 –  Samples were collected by BRGM personnel, bagged and tagged with unique sample numbers.  Sample numbers were entered against down-hole depths and sent to Variscan geologists  Average weight per sample was around 2kg  Samples were prepared by the BRGM  Samples were dried and crushed to -2 mm  Samples were then split down with riffle box to recover 100 g  The sample splits were pulverized in a hammer mill to -80 µm  Samples were transported to ALS Geochemistry Ireland for analysis For all other holes –  Samples were collected, bagged and sent for sample prep and analysis at the BRGM laboratories from 1976 to 1984 by BRGM personnel. For hole PAM5, 8 and 16  The ALS assay method used for base metals was ME-ICPORE (multi element analysis of base metal ores and mill products by atomic emission spectrometry using inductively coupled plasma spectrometer) which uses a highly oxidizing attack designed for high grade sulphides (the sample is dissolved with HNO3 , KClO4 and HBr and the final solution in dilute aqua regia).  Gold was analysed using a 30 g fire assay and AA finish (AA23). When high grade gold results were recorded, additional gold assays were completed with fire assay and a gravimetric finish. (Au-GRA21)  10% of samples were analysed as duplicates for QA/QC control.  Variscan data storage in Excel spreadsheets and GIS database.  For PAM5, PAM8 and PAM16, logging and assay checks against visible sulphide mineralisation completed by Variscan geologists.  ALS assays checked against a large number of BRGM assays (1970/80’s) from identical sample intervals. Overall repeatability between the ALS and BRGM assays is considered very good for all elements and provides strong confidence in the accuracy of all previous BRGM assays.  BRGM blanks and standards were included within the samples submitted to ALS.  Collar positions and downhole surveys were provided by the BRGM.  Projection and recording of data points into the GIS database (RGF93 projection) by Variscan.  BRGM quarter core sampling at a maximum downhole intervals of 3 metres defined by geology.  Variscan core resampling in holes PAM5, 8 and 16 used 1 to 2 metre sample compositing for comparison work against the original BRGM samples.  The majority of core holes were drilled at reasonably high angles to the interpreted sub-vertical to very steeply north dipping mineralisation. ASX Announcement - 14 December 2015 Criteria Commentary structure  Sample security  Audits or reviews   In holes PAM5, 8 and 16 the core angles of sulphide and host rock bedding were consistently high to the core axis throughout the holes providing a reasonable test through the mineralised zones. Samples for PAM5, 8, 16 were prepared at the BRGM prep facilities and transported to ALS Geochemistry Ireland by commercial carrier. Sample prep for all other holes (1976-84) was completed at BRGM lab facilities in France. There has been no external audit or review of the Company’s techniques or data. Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Criteria Commentary Mineral tenement and land tenure status Exploration done by other parties  Merléac PERM (Permis Exclusif de Recherche de Mine, a French exploration licence)  No known impediments for future exploration and development  Last significant exploration in area is believed to have been conducted by BRGM in the 1980s.  VMS potential of the region was recognised by the BRGM who conducted regional stream sediment programmes during the mid-1970s. The Porte-aux-Moines deposit was discovered in 1976 when follow-up soil sampling and shallow drilling intersected massive sulphides.  Subsequently the BRGM conducted substantial core drilling (+9km) and underground development on Porte-aux-Moines.  In addition, the BRGM conducted significant mapping, geochemical and geophysical programmes around Porte-aux-Moines and regionally.  Much of the exploration data is held by the BRGM and will be compiled and assessed by the Company.  Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits  Three full core holes (PAM5, PAM8, PAM16) have been accessed and logged by Variscan geologists at the BRGM core facility, Orleans.  Original BRGM logs, coordinate/downhole data and assays is being complied by Variscan geologists.  No aggregation or high grade cuts have been applied to the data reported  The orientation of the holes is considered a reasonable test of the high grade mineralised zones which appear to dip from sub vertical to very steeply north.  Based on the BRGM interpretation of the mineralised envelops and the core angles of sulphide layering as recorded by Variscan geologists in PAM5, 8 and 16, the average true widths of the intersections are estimated to be around 40-90 % of the downhole lengths. This will be confirmed once wireframes of interpreted mineralised envelopes are generated by Variscan geologists for use in a 2012 JORC resource estimate.  Diagrams for the Porte-aux-Moines deposit have been taken from published BRGM reports.  All intersections of mineralisation above a 4% Zn Eq cut-off are published within the report  Previous exploration, mining, metallurgical and hydrological data was received by the Company in November 2015 and will be reported by the Company as it is accessed, complied and evaluated.  Digitising and interpretation of all data for Porte-aux-Moines deposit, including other surface and underground drill holes and underground development  Generation of 3D model of geology and mineralisation envelopes  Possible shallow drilling within Porte-aux-Moines  Generation of a JORC compliant resource estimate  Possible follow-up ground EM surveys to more accurately define significant ‘Tier 1’ anomalies defined from the recent VTEM survey  Follow-up diamond drilling along strike and down dip at Porte-aux-Moines and on new regional targets Geology Drill hole Information Data aggregation methods Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths Diagrams Balanced reporting Other substantive exploration data Further work Page | 9 ASX Announcement - 14 December 2015
