QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 30 September 2014

1. HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Supreme Court ruled that Brockman’s Access Proposal was valid and complied with the requirements of s.8 of the Access Code. This decision was a significant step forward for Brockman in its bid to commercialise its East Pilbara projects.

  • Brockman appointed Mr. Colin Paterson as Chief Excutive Officer of Brockman Mining Australia Pty Ltd upon the resignation of Russell Tipper on 23 July 2014.

  • The Damajianshan copper mining right certificate renewal was secured in July for a term of two years at minimal cost and effective up to July 2016.

2. CORPORATE REVIEW

3. M A R I L L A N A I R O N O R E PROJECT (100% INTEREST)

Cash position

3.1 Rail and port infrastructure

The consolidated cash position of the Group as at 30 September 2014 was HK$181 .2 million .

Corporate

During the quarter, the Board appointed Mr. Colin Paterson as Chief Executive Officer of Brockman Mining Australia Pty Ltd upon the resignation of Mr. Russell Tipper. Mr. Paterson previously held the position of General Manager Resources and Business Development, and is an integral member of the team progressing infrastructure solutions for the project. He brings a wealth of project and strategic experience having been a founding Director of Brockman Mining Australia, formerly Brockman Resources Limited, acquired by the Company in 2012 . Mr. Paterson has over 30 years’ experience in the resources sector covering a diverse range of geological environments throughout Australia, but principally in Pilbara iron ore, and gold and nickel exploration in the Achaean of Western Australia .

Rail Access

Brockman is seeking access rights to The Pilbara Infrastructure Pty Ltd’s (“TPI’s”) below-rail infrastructure under the Western Australian Railways (Access) Code 2000 (WA) (“Code”), to allow it to haul up to 20 Mtpa of hematite iron ore product from its Marillana Iron Ore Project (“Marillana”), for a term of 20 years (“Access Proposal”) . The access sought proposed to exit the TPI mainline at Port Hedland where North West Infrastructure (“NWI”) has a capacity allocation of 50 Mtpa at the proposed SP3 and the SP4 berths for iron ore export from South West Creek in the Inner Harbour.

Brockman proposes to procure the necessary spur lines and associated infrastructure to connect Marillana with the TPI railway and to connect it to the proposed NWI facilities in Port Hedland, which will include unloading, stockpiling and ship loading facilities in South West Creek, Port Hedland.

On 5 August Mr. Luk Kin Peter Joseph has resigned as an Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company .

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 30 September 2014

Following the May 2013 lodgement of the Access Proposal and the September 2013 ERA determination of Floor and Ceiling Costs, in October 2013 TPI commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (“WA Supreme Court”) challenging the validity of the Access Proposal (“Validity Writ”) and a judicial review proceeding challenging the Floor and Ceiling Costs determination and the section 10 approval (“Judicial Review”). On 26 September 2014, the Hon. Justice James Edelman published his decision, which confirmed Brockman’s argument that the Access Proposal was valid and complied with the requirements of s.8 of the Access Code. TPI’s action was wholly dismissed and TPI was ordered to pay Brockman’s costs of the action. Brockman will pursue orders to have the Supreme Court Costs Scale lifted to allow for appropriately higher claims for costs due to the complexity of the TPI legal proceedings.

The decision in the Judicial Review was also published on 26 September. The requirement from the decision was that the ERA review the consideration of ‘contingencies’ and ‘asset lives’ for the purposes of the calculation of gross replacement value (“GRV”) which is a primary input into the determination of the Floor and Ceiling Costs. The ERA was also found to have not afforded procedural fairness in relation to the ‘contingencies’ and ‘asset lives’ issues . The ERA has advised Brockman that it will complete the remaking of the determination of the Floor and Ceiling Costs in accordance with the statutory timeframe or any extension agreed to by Brockman. The remaking of the determination will be reviewed for relevance to pricing in Brockman’s financial model .

Brockman will now take the necessary next steps under the Code towards obtaining an access agreement, including making submissions to TPI regarding the threshold preconditions to negotiations commencing being Brockman’s managerial and financial capability (section 14) and the availability of railway capacity to accommodate Brockman’s railway access requirements (section 15) .

During the quarter, capacity modelling was undertaken by TSG Consulting and a report on capacity was submitted to TPI (“TSG Report”) . The TSG Report was based on data that was obtained under a discovery process relating to the mandatory injunction proceedings which were commenced in December 2013 (“Mandatory Injunction”) which has been the subject of court ordered confidentiality restrictions limiting the disclosure of the terms of that report . The purpose of the Mandatory Injunction was to seek orders that TPI properly comply with its statutory obligations under the ‘request for information’ process under the Code, to provide summarised data relating to train running times. Brockman is using the TSG Report to compel TPI to publish the current railway capacity (and available capacity) in accordance with its statutory obligations under section 7A of the Code .

Brockman intends to rely on the TSG reporting to satisfy the section 15 capacity test .

4

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 30 September 2014

Brockman is also developing materials to satisfy the section 14(1)(b) financial capability test, which will be made up of the current Brockman financial model and related supporting documentation. These materials will be reviewed by Brockman’s external financial expert before submission to TPI. Finally, Brockman is developing materials to satisfy the section 14(1)(a) managerial test which is being supported by Aurizon under the terms of the with Relationship Agreement with Brockman.

North West Infrastructure

Brockman remains focused on protecting its foundation shareholding position, to participate in NWI port development to utilise the capacity allocation of 50 Mtpa at berths SP3 and SP4 at South West Creek in the Port Hedland harbour .

4. R E G I O N A L I R O N O R E PROJECTS (100% INTEREST)

4.1 Ophthalmia exploration

The Ophthalmia Project, located north of Newman in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia, is the most significant iron ore project for the company outside of its flagship Marillana project. Since iron ore was discovered in August 2011, Brockman has reported a total of 305 Mt of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources (Refer ASX announcement dated 10 March 2014 and Table 2) from three separate areas/ deposits: Sirius, Coondiner and Kalgan Creek (Figure 1).

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 30 September 2014

==> picture [426 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: General location map of Ophthalmia Iron Ore Project

During the quarter, a program of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Ophthalmia, predominantly an infill and extension drilling programme at the Coondiner and Kalgan Creek Deposits which commenced in April, was completed to upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated category and close off existing zones of mineralisation . Limited exploration of other targets at Three Pools was also carried out during the programme.

During the quarter, a total of 26 holes for 1,955 m were drilled, all at Kalgan Creek. This takes the total programme to 91 holes for 6,296 m at Coondiner, 61 holes for 4,397 m at Kalgan Creek and 11 holes for 930 m at Three Pools. Drilling was primarily carried out with a conventional truck-mounted

RC drilling rig, but a track-mounted rig was used for the drilling at Three Pools. Difficult site access and reliability issues with the track mounted drill rig meant that the drilling at Three Pools was only able to test targets in the southeast of the licence and could not test the immediate strike extensions of the existing Top Forge prospect .

G e o l o g i c a l i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s o f t h e mineralisation model were completed for both Coondiner and Kalgan Creek deposits following the completion of the infill drilling program with all relevant data sent to Golder Associates Pty Ltd for final Mineral Resource estimation, anticipated early next quarter .

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data OPHTHALMIA PROJECT

==> picture [427 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Criteria Explanation
----- End of picture text -----

Criteria Explanation
Sampling techniques
Sampling carried out under Brockman protocols and QAQC
procedures as per industry best practice

Reverse Circulation (RC) chip samples collected via a cone splitter
mounted on the side of the drill rig.

For each two-metre interval the cone splitter produced two samples
(A and B) collected into pre-numbered calico bags and a bulk
sample collected in a pre-numbered polyweave bag.

Quality of sampling during drilling was continuously monitored by an
experienced geologist and field assistant.
Drilling techniques
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling employed a 140mm diameter face-
sampling hammer.

Exploration drill holes were drilled on various grids depending on the
objectives of the drilling. The grids range from wide-space holes for
the initial reconnaissance exploration and up to 200m (E-W) by 50m
(N-S) close-space holes for the delineation of the Indicated Mineral
Resources

9

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Drill sample recovery
RC sample recovery is recorded as a percentage (to the nearest
10%) by the geologist and is based on how much of the sample is
returned from the cone splitter

A geologist and field assistant were present during drilling to ensure
that sample recovery was maximised and that samples were
representative. Any problems were immediately rectified.

No significant sample recovery problems were encountered.

Twinned RC and diamond drill holes show comparable assay results
indicating that wet drilling has not adversely affected the RC samples

Previous metallurgical testing shows that assay results are similar
across all size ranges.
Logging
Logging of RC holes was at 1m intervals (Brockman procedure)
corresponding with 1m bulk samples recovered during drilling. This
level of detail supports appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Geophysical data were collected from the RC holes (natural gamma,
gamma density, magnetic susceptibility & resistivity, and down-hole
deviation) by Surtron Technologies. Not all holes were open at depth,
which precluded 100% recovery of data from all of the drill holes.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
Sampling technique — RC samples

Samples averaging about 3 kg each were collected from each two-
metre interval via a cone splitter

Samples were kept dry where possible.

The sample size is considered appropriate for correctly characterising
the mineralisation, based on the style of mineralisation (massive
goethite-hematite), the thickness and consistency of intersections,
the sampling methodology and percent value assay ranges for the
primary elements
Sample preparation

Samples were dried at 105°C and weighed.

Samples were crushed to nominal -6.3 mm, with samples in excess of
2 kg being riffle split.

Samples were pulverised to 80% passing at 75 µm.
Quality control procedures

Field duplicate submitted every 25th sample (1:25).

‘Blind’ Certified Reference Material inserted every 25th sample (1:25).

Lab duplicates were randomly generated by a laboratory program,
typically about 1 in 20 samples (1:20)

Lab repeats were taken and standards inserted at a predetermined
level specified by the lab

10

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

All RC samples submitted to Nagrom Laboratory in Perth were
assayed for Fe, SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, MnO, CaO, P, S, MgO, and K2O by
XRF and for LOI at 1000°C by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Laboratory procedures are in line with ISO9001 Quality Management
System and appropriate for iron ore deposits

Samples were dried at 105°C, weighed, crushed to a nominal -6.3mm
size, and then pulverised to 80% passing 75 micron.

A 0.8g sub-sample was collected and fused in 8g of 12:22 lithium
borate flux with 5% lithium nitrate additive. The resultant glass bead
was analysed by XRF.

Another 1–2g sub-sample was dried and ignited at 1000°C with LOI
calculated one constant mass was reached. LOI is the percentage
mass change due to igniting the dry sample.

There were no indications that samples were unrepresentative, with
all lab duplicate samples within 2.5% of the original sample value.

Samples have been collated, and will be sent to an umpire laboratory
as an independent check of the assay results.

Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) with a range of values
appropriate to the mineralisation were inserted at predefined intervals
by Brockman and randomly by the lab at set levels. Results from the
CRMs show that sample assay values are accurate and precise.

Analysis of field duplicate samples shows that greater than 95%
of pairs have less than 5% difference. Analysis of lab pulp repeats
indicates that the precision of samples is also within acceptable limits.
Verification of sampling
and assaying

Significant intersections have been independently verified by
alternative company personnel

The Competent Person has visited site and inspected the sampling
process in the field, and has also inspected the laboratory.

Twinned RC and diamond drill holes show equivalent assay results.

Primary data are captured on Toughbook laptops using Ocris
software. The software has validation routines to prevent data entry
errors

All field data were sent by the geologist present during drilling to a
database management company (Expedio) in Perth and stored in a
secure SQL database.

Assay data were sent by the laboratory direct to Expedio and
uploaded into the SQL database.

No adjustments or calibrations were made to any assay data used in
the estimate

11

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Location of data points
All collars were initially surveyed by Brockman personnel using a
hand held GPS, and later by Bore Hole Geophysical Services using a
differential GPS with a nominal horizontal and vertical accuracy of
15cm

Down-hole gyroscopic surveys were conducted by Surtron
Technologies using a conventional gyroscope.

The grid system for Sirius is MGA_GDA94 Zone 50 and the vertical
datum is AHD.

A DEM for the project area was acquired by Fugro Spatial Solutions
with a quoted horizontal accuracy of 60 cm and a vertical accuracy
of 30 cm
Data spacing and
distribution

Drill holes are spaced on a nominal 200m (E-W) by 100m (N-S) grid
(Coondiner and Kalgan Creek).

This drill spacing is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity required under the 2012 JORC code.

Samples were collected at 2m intervals.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Lithological units strike east-southeast and are folded about a series
of upright to slightly inclined, open to close folds. The mineralisation
envelope is also folded. All but two of the holes were drilled vertically,
with the other two holes drilled at 60° to the north in order to be
oriented perpendicular to mineralisation

Due to the varying intersection angles all results are defined as down-
hole widths.
Sample security
The chain of custody is managed by Brockman.

Samples were packed into polyweave bags and sealed, and then
placed inside Bulka Bags which were sealed by the geologist and
field assistant present during drilling.

Samples were picked up from site by a local transport company and
deposited with Regal Transport, who delivered the samples to the
laboratory

Once received at the laboratory, the samples were sorted and
securely stored until analysis

The lab receipted samples received against the sample dispatch
documents
Audits or reviews
The database is maintained by an independent external consultant
(Expedio), who carried out routine checks and validations. Brockman
also conducted internal validation of the database Golder
conducted an external audit of the database with respect to
sampling and QAQC procedures in February 2014.

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Exploration Prospects are located wholly within Exploration Leases
E47/1598, E47/1599, E47/2280 and E47/2291 which are 100% owned by
Brockman.

The tenements lie within the Nyiyaparli Native Title Claim (WC05/06).

At the time of reporting, there are no known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area, and the tenements are in
good standing.
Exploration done by other
parties

No substantive previous exploration within E47/1598 and E47/1599 was
identified by Brockman. Previous RC drilling by Sheffield Resources on
E47/2280 identified BID mineralisation.
Geology
Mineralisation on all four tenements consists of hematite-goethite ore
hosted within shaly BIF of the c. 2.49 Ga Boolgeeda Iron Formation
(upper Hamersley Group)

The prospects are located within the Ophthalmia Fold Belt about 20-
35 km northwest of Newman.
Data aggregation
methods

A nominal 54% Fe lower cut-off grade was used for reporting of
significant intercepts.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths

Mineralisation at all Exploration Prospects defines a folded sub-
horizontal sheet. Overall, most holes were drilled perpendicular to
mineralisation, but because of the folding some holes are slightly or
moderately oblique to mineralisation. Therefore, all results are defined
as down-hole widths rather than true widths.
Diagrams
Maps of the deposits with interpretations of the stratigraphy and hole
collar positions are shown in Figures 2.
Balanced reporting
All results are reported.
Other substantive
exploration data

Detailed geological and structural mapping of the prospect has been
completed by Brockman geologists.

Cross-sections through Pallas, Castor, Kalgan Creek, and Three Pools
have been constructed in order to determine the structural and
stratigraphic controls on mineralisation.

Preliminary metallurgical test work (size assaying and a single sinter
test) has been undertaken.
Further work
Updated Mineral Resources estimates will be prepared for Coondiner
and Kalgan Creek.

A pre-feasibility mining study of both rail and road transport is in
progress.
