OVERVIEW
Wah Nam International Limited (ASX: WNI, SEHK: 0159) has made a significant progress in the third quarter of 2011. The Company is now entering an important new phase of its development in which financing the Marillana Project becomes a priority, possibly with a joint venture partner taking a minority share in the Project. The Board is committed to the successful and timely development of the Marillana Project.
Changes to the composition of the Brockman Board in September 2011 saw the appointment of new directors with relevant expertise in project financing, rail and port infrastructure and mine development to oversee the Company’s transition to an iron ore producer.
A strategic review was commenced following these Board changes. The review covers the Marillana Project and all facets of the Brockman business and is expected to conclude by December 2011, at which point a revised timetable will be determined for key Project milestones leading to production.
The Board and management have the skills and networks to successfully implement the next project phase, including development of the Project Execution Strategy, project funding, and Final Investment Decision (“FID”).
Discovery of an extensive surface area of high grade bedded iron mineralisation hosted by Bolgeeda Iron Formation within the Ophthalmia Project has highlighted the potential for significant DSO mineralisation in this area. Drilling has commenced.

Luchun Xingtai Mining Co. Limited
During the quarter ended 30 September 2011, cash receipts from product sales of approximately RMB0.9 million was contributed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Smart Year Investments Limited, owner and operator of the Damajianshan Mine (quarter ended 30 September 2010: RMB0.2 million).
Bank and Cash Position
The consolidated cash and bank balance of the Group for the quarter ended 30 September 2011 amounted to approximately HK$428.5 million including cash and bank balance of Brockman of AUD43.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$329 million).
The Takeover Offers
Wah Nam has relied on the defeating conditions and the takeover offer for FerrAus lapsed on 15 July 2011.
On 29 August 2011, FerrAus announced that the Asset Acquisition by Atlas was duly completed and that the Atlas’s Takeover Offer for FerrAus be opened for acceptance on 5 September 2011. On 8 September 2011, Atlas declared the
In February 2011, the Yunnan provincial power plant had implemented an electric power brownout over our mining site for purpose of installing and rerouting of power supply from the power station to our mine site to facilitate the power transmission, ultimately to upgrade and increase the supply capacity. Production of copper ore concentrates was halted during the period of electric power cutback from February 2011 to August 2011, but was gradually resumed in early September 2011 upon the completion of the installation work. Management expects that, with the electric power supply now being fully upgraded, our production capacity will be significantly enhanced in the future. A concrete production plan has been drawn up for the upcoming quarter for the purpose of optimising efficiency and productivity on our mining site.

Mr. Arndt is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.’ Mr. Arndt consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
Brockman Resources Limited
Marillana Iron Ore Project (100% Interest)
Project Development
Front End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) along with mining and metallurgical studies were progressed during the quarter. UGL Resources Pty Ltd (“UGL”) issued a FEED report post quarter end. The Brockman project team is now focusing efforts on the comprehensive analysis of the UGL proposals prior to commencing the next phase of the Marillana project.
The project team, with the assistance of the review team, continue to manage project development activities focused on further de-risking key design and contracting elements and identifying potential improvements and cost saving initiatives for the Marillana Project.
A strategic review was commenced following the recent Board changes. The review covers the Marillana Project and all facets of the Brockman business and is expected to conclude by December 2011, at which point a revised
timetable will be determined for key Project milestones leading to production.
Rail and Port Infrastructure
Brockman continued to actively pursue rail and port infrastructure arrangements for the Marillana Project.
As a founding member of the North West Infrastructure (“NWI”) Group, Brockman worked closely during the quarter with fellow NWI shareholders towards establishing viable options for the development of new port facilities in South West Creek. The takeover of FerrAus Limited by Atlas Iron Limited during the quarter has provided the opportunity to more efficiently align NWI goals to progress the development of the NWI South West Creek port solution.
Mining and Metallurgy
The ECI contractor submissions have been completed based on the mining schedule provided for the life of mine operations. The submissions detail the equipment and personnel resources required to meet the schedule and mining cost estimations. The current schedule includes the mining of ore and waste, the disposal of coarse ore rejects back to the mining void, and the backfilling of pits to the required closure levels. Site layouts and schedules will continue to be revised and optimised over the next quarter.
The current mine plan includes a redesign of the mine schedule and waste dump layouts, which has allowed for a change in the mine operating philosophy of the Project, with a substantial saving in deferred capital. The new mine plan uses conventional truck and shovel for the life of mine, with minimal rehandle of waste, compared to the DFS mine plan which required significant rehandling of waste material, necessitating capital intensive mechanised waste rehandling equipment.

Brockman has completed the pilot plant beneficiation testwork on a 150 tonne representative sample of ore from starter Pit 1. A full circuit concentrate has been produced with an iron (“Fe”) grade of 61.6% and combined silica/alumina grade of 8.99% at a mass recovery of 43.7% (from an initial head grade of 43.9% Fe). All other contaminant grades remain within the required specifications. Similar testwork is being conducted for Pit 2 and is expected to be completed within the December quarter.
A number of other metallurgical test programmes are progressing to optimise the process plant design. Rheology testwork completed during the quarter has confirmed that pumping at higher slurry densities is achievable. Ultimately, this will have a positive impact on process plant make-up water requirements, and operational power requirements and activities are ongoing to complete the fines reject disposal design strategy.
Dewatering testwork of fines reject streams is also being conducted to determine options for co-disposal to coarse rejects or inclusion with the spiral beneficiation circuit. Alternative crushing technologies are being considered, with a view to potentially reducing capital and operating costs.
Project Approvals
Brockman has been progressing required approvals in line with requirements. Minor variations to the Marillana Project footprint will require a variation to the “early works” Mining Proposal and Project Management Plan currently with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (“DMP”). This Mining Proposal will seek permission to establish accommodation facilities for construction personnel, access roads and associated works. The flora and habitat survey
==> picture [223 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
of the new preferred airstrip and camp locations was completed and is required to support the s45C application to vary Brockman’s approved Public Environmental Review (“PER”). The draft Operating Strategy which will support the life-ofmine water abstraction licence was assessed by the WA Department of Water who are awaiting final details to be provided before approving water management activities.
The Commonwealth Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Pollution and Communities (“DSEWPaC”), notified Brockman that the mine site has been assessed as a “Controlled Action” with the level of assessment set at Preliminary Documentation (“PD”). The PD is being finalised with the newly added locations for the airstrip, accommodation camp and mining project layout. Submission to DSEWPaC is expected in Q4, CY2011 with approval expected four months later. The Rail Project PD is currently with DSEWPaC for their two-week initial review period which will be followed by the four month assessment process.
The DMP has granted Brockman’s application for a gas pipeline, to connect the Marillana Project to the Goldfields Gas Transmission Pipeline immediately south of Newman. Heritage surveys have been completed over the entire corridor and no impediments to development have been identified.
Brockman continues to advance environmental and heritage requirements over the proposed rail spur line to the FMG mainline. All biological surveys of the rail project corridor are now complete and final reports due by the end of November. A decision on progressing the API impact assessment document will be made as a rail solution strategy evolves.

Quarterly Activities Report 2011
A Heritage Agreement has been executed with the Palyku Native Title Claimant Group, whose traditional lands cover the northern parts of the proposed rail spur line, facilitating the commencement of heritage surveys over this area in early August. Negotiations with Palyku for an Infrastructure Agreement to allow for construction of the rail spur line progressed during the quarter. Heritage surveys over the southern section of the rail corridor (within the MIB lands) were undertaken during the period, with further surveys planned to cover additional infrastructure requirements.
Regional Iron Ore Projects (100% Interest)
Ophthalmia Project
A significant new deposit of bedded hematite mineralisation has been identified at the Sirius prospect within the Company’s 100% owned Ophthalmia Project tenements, located 15km north of Newman in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
The Sirius prospect is situated at the eastern end of the Parmelia Syncline and mineralisation is hosted in intensely folded banded iron formations (“BIF”) within the Boolgeeda Iron Formation of the Hamersley Group. The folded northern and southern limbs of the main enriched horizon have a combined strike length of about 1,700m and are up to 150m wide. Both main limbs dip sub-vertically steeply to the south, with the fold hinge plunging shallowly to the west.
Helicopter supported sampling and mapping has identified three main iron ore types, based on the proportions of martite and goethite in the mineralisation, with average grades of each mineralisation style presented in Table 1, which includes additional sampling since the initial results were released. The martite-dominant mineralisation is particularly high grade, with samples up to 67.5% Fe , and averaging 65% Fe from 33 samples. The average Fe grade from 98 samples across all ore types is 62% Fe (65.3% calcined Fe), with low contaminants.
Table 1: Summary Surface Sampling Results — Sirius Prospect

| TOTAL | 98 | 62.05 | 65.32 | 3.01 | 2.25 | 0.105 | 0.048 | 5.14 |
A total of 104 samples were collected, with 98 returning greater than 54% Fe. Samples were mostly collected from four traverses and are considered to provide a representative grade along the traverse. Sample results are summarised in Figure 1 by compositing up to four samples to provide a composite assay.
Initial reconnaissance surface sampling at the Ophthalmia Project also identified DSO grade mineralisation in a number of other areas at Coondiner (to 66% Fe), Kalgan Creek (to 66%
Fe) and Ophthalmia Range (to 57% Fe). Follow up sampling has produced further encouraging assays from these areas. Results received from an additional 45 surface rock samples collected in late September from composite traverse samples across strike of the BIF mineralisation have confirmed the prospectivity of the Ophthalmia Project area ahead of drilling. Table 2 summarises the results from all surface sampling at Ophthalmia during the period and prospect locations shown in Figure 2.

Most importantly, of the assays above 54% Fe, 273 or 87% of assays were from samples taken from BID (bedded-iron-deposit style) mineralisation outcrops and BID mineralisation has been identified in all of the prospects listed in Table 1.
Aboriginal heritage (archaeological) surveys for the proposed reverse circulation and diamond drill sites and access tracks have been
completed for the Kalgan Creek and Sirius prospects. Heritage surveys at Coondiner are about 50% complete and it is anticipated that the remaining areas will be surveyed ahead of drilling during the December quarter.
RC drilling at Kalgan Creek and Coondiner commenced on 18 October and helicopter supported diamond core drilling at the Sirius prospect is scheduled to commence in November.

The information in this report that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Mr A Zhang, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a full-time employee of Brockman Resources Limited. Mr Zhang has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results’. Mr Zhang consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context that the information appears.
LIMOUSINE BUSINESS
Receipts from the Limousine rental and airport shuttle bus operations amounted to
approximately HK$33.5 million during the quarter ended 30 September 2011, which were at about the same level as the corresponding quarter last year. Higher comparative base coupled with the climbing costs of fuel consumption, repair and maintenance, and labour resulting from inflationary pressures as well as the enforcement of statutory minimum wage in Hong Kong since May 2011, are the main constraints which limit the businesses from generating more cash inflows. We expect that the coming quarter will be a challenging one as escalating global inflation and soaring fuel prices will inflict a negative impact on the cost structure of the limousine business. Moreover, the Group is under the cost pressure of increasing labour costs. We will continue to monitor the market development, especially in the coming Christmas and New Year Days as more tourists are expected at that time, and formulate the best business strategy so as to sustain our overall profit margin.
