QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 31 March 2014

2. CORPORATE REVIEW

Cash position

The consolidated cash position of the Group as at 31 March 2014 was HK$253.7 million.

During the previous quarter, the Company issued an unsecured bond to Ocean Line (“the Bond”) with an outstanding principal amount of US$4,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$31,200,000 at the date of issue). The Bond was issued on 12 November 2013 to raise funds for the Group’s general working capital. The Bond was unsecured, bore an interest rate of 10% and was due on 28 November 2014.

On 2 January 2014, the Company and Ocean Line entered into a subscription agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and Ocean Line agreed to subscribe for 292,500,000 shares at an aggregate subscription price of HK$117 million. The subscription was conditional upon, among other things, approval of the independent shareholders and the Stock Exchange granting listing of and permission to deal in the shares. The approval was obtained in February and the Bond was redeemed in full, with the proceeds from the redemption applied to subscribe for the shares. The shares were issued on 13 February 2014. The proceeds from the issue of the shares will be used for the development of the Group’s iron ore mining projects in Western Australia and for the general working capital of the Group.

Also on 2 January 2014, the Company and China Guoyin entered into a subscription agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and China Guoyin agreed to subscribe for 195,000,000 shares at an aggregate subscription price of HK$78 million. The subscription was conditional upon, among other things, the approval of the independent shareholders

and the Stock Exchange granting listing of and permission to deal in the shares. The approval was obtained in February and the shares were issued on 13 February 2014. The proceeds from the issue of the shares will be used for the development of the Group’s iron ore mining projects in Western Australia and for the general working capital of the Group.

Changes in directorship

On 8 January 2014, Mr. Lau Kwok Kuen Eddie resigned as an independent nonexecutive director of the Company due to his own accord, and on the same date, Mr. Yap Fat Suan Henry was appointed as independent non-executive director to fill the vacancy.

On 13 March 2014 , Mr. Kwai Kwun Lawrence was appointed as an executive director of the Company.

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

3.1 Rail and port infrastructure

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 (“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, to Port Hedland where North West Infrastructure (“NWI”) has a capacity allocation of 50 Mtpa 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.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 31 March 2014

Following determinations by the ERA, setting Floor and Ceiling Costs (“F&C Costs”) for the TPI railway and approving the conduct of negotiations between Brockman and TPI pursuant to section 10 of the Code, on 7 October, TPI commenced legal proceedings in the WA Supreme Court for a Judicial Review of the F&C Costs determination and the section 10 approval, and contemporaneously commenced an action challenging the validity of Brockman’s access proposal (Writ Action).

During the quarter, various procedural hearings occurred with respect to both the Writ Action and the Judicial Review, culminating in Brockman providing discovery on documents relating to the proceedings and TPI producing five expert reports covering both the Writ and Judicial Review matters. In mid-March, TPI filed an amended pleading that asserted a narrow interpretation of section 8(2) of the Code relating to the purpose for which a service could be sought and Brockman filed its responsive amended defence. The court made programming orders regarding the filing of witness statements and related matters with the matters being relisted for a directions hearing on 7 May.

The trial on both the Writ Action and the Judicial Review has since been listed for hearing between 18 August and 22 August inclusive.

Brockman is continuing to advance the preparation of submissions to satisfy TPI’s request regarding Brockman’s managerial and financial capability (section 14) and the availability of capacity (sections 15), as required under the Code. As part of that process, Brockman lodged an application with the Supreme Court for a mandatory injunction, seeking orders that TPI properly comply with its statutory obligations under the ‘request for information’ process under the Code, to provide original data relating

to train running times. During the quarter, TPI agreed to supply certain data. If the information provided by TPI is inadequate, Brockman will request the Court to set the matter down for a separate hearing in the month following the 7 May directions hearing and possibly seeking orders requiring further and better discovery of the digital (ITCS) records of train running times and related reports prior to any hearing.

Mediation

As part of the rail access proceedings, TPI has requested, and Brockman has agreed to, a court-ordered mediation.

Brockman will participate in the mediation as follows:

  1. Mediation will not delay the trial date for the rail access proceedings;

  2. The mediation would need to address a commercial solution, such as access or haulage; and

  3. Those present at the mediation would need to have authority to conclude a commercial settlement.

The Supreme Court has confirmed that the mediation has been listed for one day on Thursday 8 May 2014, before the Hon Chief Justice Martin, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

North West Infrastructure

NWI has continued to work on commercial terms with the Port Hedland Port Authority, for a lease and development agreement to govern the development of the proposed NWI port facilities 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 Project

D u r i n g t h e q u a r t e r , t h e C o m p a n y announced a 14% increase in Mineral Resource for the Sirius Deposit, to take the resource to 124 Mt grading 60.32% Fe. (Refer announcement dated 10 March 2014). Significantly, the increase now includes Indicated Mineral Resources of 105 Mt grading 60.35% Fe. The Sirius Deposit forms part of the Ophthalmia Iron Ore

Project, located 15 km north of Newman (Figure 1). This increased confidence in the Project has led to the commencement of a Pre-Feasibility Study for a 15 Mtpa DSO mining operation at Ophthalmia, predicated on the Company achieving a rail and port infrastructure solution for the Marillana Project, located 80 km northwest of Ophthalmia. Further, the Company will also investigate the potential for a smaller, interim road-haulage operation based on the high grade, above water table mineralisation at Sirius.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 31 March 2014

The upgraded Mineral Resource estimate for the Sirius Deposit was prepared by Golder Associates Pty Ltd (Golder) and included the 177 RC drill holes (14,840 m) completed in 2013. The resource estimate was classified in accordance with guidelines provided in the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2012). The classification was based principally on geological confidence, drill hole spacing and grade continuity from available drilling data. The mineralisation models and block reporting cut-off grades used in the in situ resource estimate are both 54% Fe.

The Mineral Resource estimate now incorporates the previously identified Exploration Targets at Sirius, almost all converted into Mineral Resources. No new Exploration Targets were identified during the drilling program or resource update.

This increase, when aggregated with the previously announced Mineral Resources for the Coondiner and Kalgan Creek Deposits1, released to the ASX on 19 April 2013 and 4 December 2012 respectively, brings the total DSO Mineral Resources at the Ophthalmia Project to 305 Mt grading 59.27% Fe (Table 1), of which 200 Mt (or 66%) is classified as Indicated Resources.

The methodology and procedures used for the Mineral Resource estimate, as well as the sampling techniques and data acquisition methods are provided in the Mineral Resource statement by Golder Associates Pty Ltd contained in the ASX announcement dated 10 March 2014. Brockman is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral Resource. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

In the last quarterly report, it was reported that a short programme of HQ and PQ diamond drilling, comprising 439 m in 8 holes, was completed at Sirius in December. Drilling was designed to provide bulk metallurgical sample, geotechnical and structural data and twin hole assay data. The assay results from that drilling have demonstrated that the intersection grades and widths in the core holes compare very well with the twin RC holes, providing confidence in the quality of the RC drilling and sampling techniques. Results for the core holes and their RC twin holes are shown in Table 2.

Composite samples for metallurgical testwork have been prepared from the core and this work is in progress.

Reverse Circulation drilling recommenced a t O p h t h a l m i a i n e a r l y A p r i l . T h e programme is designed to upgrade the

majority of Inferred Resources at Coondiner and Kalgan Creek to Indicated Resources and to test for extensions of mineralisation.

Following the increased confidence in the Sirius Mineral Resource, the Company commenced a Pre-Feasibility Study for a 15 Mtpa DSO mining operation at Ophthalmia, predicated on the Company achieving a rail and port infrastructure s o l u t i o n f o r t h e M a r i l l a n a P r o j e c t , located 80 km northwest of Ophthalmia. Work undertaken to dates consists primarily of scheduling of approvals and commissioning of baseline environmental studies, risk management planning, recruitment and development of the study implementation plan. Expression of Interests for submission to proposed contractors, including assessment criteria, have been developed and issued, with appointment expected during the June quarter.

1 The Mineral Resources for Kalgan Creek and Coondiner were prepared and first disclosed under JORC Code 2004. Refer the ASX announcements made 16/10/2012 and 4/12/2012 respectively. Neither has been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported. All material assumptions and technical parameters, underpinning the estimates, continue to apply and have not materially changed, nor have the Competent Person’s findings been materially modified.

Section 1 — Sampling Techniques and Data Ophthalmia Project

==> picture [427 x 17] 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.

The diamond cores from the 2013 drilling programme were processed
with whole-core method at 2m intervals (whole core was crushed
before riffle-split to obtain the sub sample for assay).
Drilling techniques
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling employed a 140mm diameter face-
sampling hammer.

The diamond holes were drilled with triple-tube method, including 6
HQ3 holes and one PQ3 hole (SDD015). The cores were not orientated
due to the cores being incompetent.

Drill holes are spaced on a nominal 100m (E-W) by 50m (N-S) grid
(Sirius) and 200m (E-W) by 100m (N-S) grid (Coondiner and Kalgan
Creek).
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 issues were immediately rectified.

The core recovery was logged for the length of core recovered over
the depth drilled.

No significant sample recovery issues in RC drilling were encountered.
All diamond holes, except one hole (SDD012) which were abandoned
due to poor recovery, has excellent recovery.

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.

Criteria Explanation

Criteria Explanation
Logging
Logging of RC holes was at 1m interval (Brockman procedure)
corresponds with the 1m bulk samples recovered during RC 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.

Detailed geological, structural and geotechnical logging were
carried out on all diamond cores.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
Sampling technique — RC samples

samples averaging about 3 kg each were collected for 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.
Sampling technique — diamond core samples

2m whole-core was crushed before riffle-split to produce a sub
sample for assay.
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�m.
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.

Criteria Explanation
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

All RC and diamond core 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 were within 2.5% of the original sample value.

Samples have been sent to an umpire laboratory as an independent
check of the assay results. These results are pending.

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.

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 an 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 100m (E-W) by 50m (N-S) grid
(Sirius) and 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. The majority of holes were either drilled
vertically or at 50-75° to the north or south in order to be oriented
perpendicular to mineralisation.

Owing to the rugged topography at Sirius, a small number of holes
were drilled either partly along strike or down-dip in order to provide
appropriate drill spacing.

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.
No third party audit has been conducted, but the internal integrity of
the database was verified by Golder in late 2012/early 2013 during
the Mineral Resource estimation.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

==> picture [427 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

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

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

Criteria Explanation
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

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

The tenement lies 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 tenement is in
good standing.
Exploration done by other
parties

No substantive previous exploration with the prospect area was
identified by Brockman.
Geology
Mineralisation at Sirius and Coondiner 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.
Drill hole information
Refer to the figures and Table of Significant Results.
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 both Coondiner and Sirius 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
Cross sections through the deposits with interpretations of
the stratigraphy and mineralisation were provided in the ASX
announcement of 10 March 2014.
Other substantive
exploration data

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

Cross-sections through Sirius have been constructed in order to
determine the structural and stratigraphic controls on mineralisation.

Logging of diamond drill core has been undertaken to determine the
nature and relative timing of the mineralisation.

Preliminary metallurgical test work (size assaying and a single sinter
test) has been undertaken.
Further work
Pre-feasibility mining study of both rail and road transport has been in
progress.
