Both parties signed an earlier MOU in August 2011 relating to the development of the Company’s Yilgarn Iron Ore Projects.

The signing of the further MOU is a result of a number of visits by AMMG to Anhui’s head office in Hefei and a number of visits by Anhui to AMMG’s projects in Western Australia.

The further MOU provides both parties with the framework to work together over the upcoming months to determine whether agreement can be reached on the terms of a direct capital investment by way of a share placement in AMMG or its subsidiary, Yilgarn Iron. The further MOU targets a potential Heads of Agreement for a Joint Venture Agreement for the development of one or more of Yilgarn Iron’s projects (see Figure 1 below).

AMMG, through its 100% owned subsidiary Yilgarn Iron, has been actively exploring and extending its tenement base in the Yilgarn Craton, accumulating 13 projects extending over 3,184 square kilometres.

Mr Ric Dawson, Managing Director of AMMG, said “the further MOU demonstrated that Anhui recognised the mineral potential of the Company’s projects and was particularly interested in the close proximity of the project to the port and city of Albany, being only approximately 80kms away.

“With drilling at the Southdown Extension project scheduled to commence at the beginning of next calendar year, Anhui were particularly interested in this recent addition to the Yilgarn Iron project portfolio. Anhui plan to send a delegation to return to Western Australia at the time of drilling for a site inspection as part of their ongoing due diligence ahead of any possible future involvement in advancement of the MOU key targets”, he said.

About AMMG

Australian diversified resources company, AMMG, listed on the ASX in January 2010. The Company was established for the purpose of securing exploration ground over areas that have typically been subject to historical exploration and where significant geological data was available and/or the land was considered sufficiently prospective. Areas with existing or potential access to infrastructure were also targeted.

To date, the Company has identified project areas located in Western Australia and Queensland, which the Board believes may have the potential for the realisation of economic resources of these commodities currently targeted - iron ore, kaolin/aluminous clay, coal, gypsum, mineral sands and salt.

The Company has 12 granted tenements and 53 applications for tenements covering approximately 11,213km² over the project areas.
