BC IRON EARNS FIRST 15% INTEREST IN CARNEGIE POTASH PROJECT

BC Iron Limited (ASX:BCI) (“BC Iron” or “the Company”) wishes to advise that it has completed the first part of its Stage 1 earn-in to the Carnegie Potash Project, a joint venture with Kalium Lakes Limited (ASX:KLL) (“Kalium”).

BC Iron has earned a 15% interest by contributing its mobile exploration camp facilities and the first $0.5M in expenditure to the joint venture. In the second part of the Stage 1, BC Iron will earn a further 15% interest (for a total of 30%) by contributing the next $1.0M of expenditure towards completion of a Scoping Study and associated activities.

The contribution of the camp and initial funding enables joint venture manager, Kalium, to commence exploration and development activities when the required land access approvals have been secured. The joint venture participants are planning to fast-track the Carnegie Potash Project by leveraging Kalium’s potash experience and expertise, as well as the relevant intellectual property developed at Kalium’s Beyondie Project.
