During the 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 is unsecured, bears an interest rate of 10% and is due on 28 November 2014.

approval of the independent shareholders and the Stock Exchange granting listing of and permission to deal in the shares . 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 .

A special general meeting to approve the subscriptions and issues is scheduled on 13 February 2014.

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

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 is conditional upon, among other things, approval of the independent shareholders and the Stock Exchange granting listing of and permission to deal in the shares . In the event that the independent shareholders approve the Ocean Line subscription, the Bond shall be redeemed in full and the proceeds from the redemption will be applied to subscribe for the shares. The remaining 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.

On the same date, 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 is conditional upon, among other things, the

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. The proposal does not seek access to TPI’s above-rail services, as haulage services would be provided by an experienced haulage operator. 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.

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

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT DECEMBER 2013

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.

Following the first directions hearing for both matters on 30 October 2013, the judge made orders that the parties file defences, counterclaims and position papers and attend a further strategic conference hearing on 11 December 2013. At the 11 December conference, the judge ordered discovery of relevant documents in January, before the next directions hearing on 29 January 2014.

3.2 Mining and Metallurgy

During the quarter, work has been undertaken on the “value in use” (VIU) of the Marillana Fines®, in comparison to Pilbara Blend fines. The VIU has been independently estimated using the Marx VIU model for iron-making and suggests that Marillana Fines® would attract parity or at a small discount relative to Pilbara Blend unit prices, under the current market conditions, with a focus on inland Chinese mills and alumina constrained coastal mills .

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

4.1 Ophthalmia Project

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) under the Code. As part of that process, on 24 December 2013, Brockman lodged an application with the Supreme Court seeking 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. A directions hearing for the application will also be heard on 29 January, with a substantive hearing following thereafter.

Work continued during the quarter on a program of infill reverse circulation drilling at Ophthalmia, to upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets identified previously at the Sirius Deposit to the Indicated category, as well as some limited exploration drilling testing targets at Kalgan Creek and Coondiner (Figure 1).

During the quarter, a total of 111 RC holes for 9,228 m have been drilled, taking the total for the programme to 207 holes for 16,844 m, of which 177 holes for 14,840 m were at Sirius, 17 holes for 1,223 m were at Coondiner and 13 holes for 781 m were at Kalgan Creek. All of the assay results for the RC drilling have now been received.

North West Infrastructure

NWI has continued to work on the advancement of the Port Hedland lease and agreement on commercial terms with the Port Hedland Port Authority, to govern the development of the proposed NWI port facilities in the Port Hedland harbour.

Figure 1 — Ophthalmia Project Tenements

The planned resource upgrade drilling programme has been completed at Sirius. All significant BID (Bedded-Iron-Deposit style) intersections are listed in Table 1.

A t S i r i u s , a n u m b e r o f t h e r e c e n t intersections are from holes drilled outside the existing Mineral Resource boundary (see Table 1 and Figure 2). Preparation of an updated Mineral Resource estimate will be carried out for Sirius during the March 2014 quarter.

There is limited accessibility for drill sites at Sirius and in some cases multiple holes have been drilled from a single drill site, with the result that some holes are drilled slightly down-dip. The drilling results at Sirius confirm the continuity and grade of the deposit and have demonstrated that mineralisation extends to a greater depth than previously interpreted. The cross sections in Figures 3 to 5 demonstrate the consistency of grade and the amenability of the deposit to open pit mining .

In addition to the RC drilling, 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. No results are available as yet from the diamond drilling.

At Coondiner, infill and extension drilling was carried out mainly around the existing Mineral Resource boundary of the Pallas Deposit (Figure 6). Significant intersections were recorded from most of the areas drilled, with the best results from holes CNRC0216 and CNRC0222, located 200 m and 400 m respectively to the south-east of the existing Mineral Resource boundary.

At Kalgan Creek, several RC holes were drilled to further define the identified drilling target in the east of the tenement (Figure 7). A significant intersection was recorded in hole KRC0115 (38 m at 60.50%Fe).

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT DECEMBER 2013

On 24 October 2013, the Group has entered into a series of agreements with the 10% owner of Damajianshan Mine to acquire 10% remaining interest in the copper mine at a consideration of HK$45 million. The aforesaid acquisition had not been completed at the end of this quarter.

The Directors consider that the acquisition may help to improve the profitability prospects of the Group in the long run and in the interests of the Group as a whole.

6. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES BUSINESS

Receipts from the transport services business amounted to approximately HK$28.0 million during the quarter ended 31 December 2013 (HK$28.1 million, September 2013 quarter). Stable operational performance was recorded during the quarter.

During the quarter ended 31 December 2013, the Group has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a director of Perryville Group Limited to sell its entire interest in transportation service business. The aforesaid disposal had not been completed at the end of this quarter. The Group continued to face keen competition in the transportation industry as more companies offered similar services with more competitive pricing. By selling off the transportation services business, the Group will be able to concentrate on the mining businesses in Australia and in the PRC and the Directors considers that the mining business of the Group could help to improve the overall financial performance in the long run .

QUARTERLY
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 140 mm diameter face-
sampling hammer

Drill holes are spaced on a nominal 100 m (E-W) by 50 m (N-S) grid
(Sirius) and 200 m (E-W) by 100 m (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.

No significant sample recovery issues 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 all RC and diamond core holes were carried out in
accordance to Brockman’s relevant technical logging procedures.
Geology and sampling information were captured on paper as well
as digitally using OCRIS logging software. The level of detail in logging
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 and Bore Hole Geophysical
Services (BHGS). Not all holes were open at depth, which precluded
100% recovery of data from all of the drill holes.

16

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
Sampling technique

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
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.
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

All 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 1-2 g sub-sample was dried and ignited at 1000°C with LOI
calculated once 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.

17

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Verification of sampling
and assaying

Significant intersections have been independently verified by
company geologists and approved by the Competent Person.

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 a SQL database (GBIS).

No adjustments or calibrations were made to any assay data used in
the estimate
Location of data points
All collars were initially surveyed by Brockman personnel using a hand
held GPS, and later by BHGS using a differential GPS with an nominal
horizontal and vertical accuracy of 15 cm.

Down-hole deviation surveys were conducted on most of the holes
by Surtron Technologies and BHGS using a conventional magnetic
susceptibility tool due to low magnetic property of the host rocks of
the BID mineralisation in the Boolgeeda Iron Formation.

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 100 m (E-W) by 50 m (N-S) grid
(Sirius) and 200 m (E-W) by 100 m (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 2 m 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.

18

QUARTERLY
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 55% Fe lower cut-off grade was used with a 40 m minimum
width (including up to 4 m internal waste) 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.

19

QUARTERLY
Criteria Explanation
Diagrams
Cross sections through the deposits with interpretations of the
stratigraphy and mineralisation are shown in Figures 3-5.
Balanced reporting
Only significant results are reported in detail, but representative cross
sections with all drill intersections are provided as Figures 3-5.
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
Infill drilling will be undertaken on the basis of successful results being
received.

Further metallurgical test work on HQ and PQ diamond drill core is
planned

A more detailed examination of the stratigraphy will be undertaken
using recently acquired diamond drill core at Sirius.
