Shree Minerals Company Update Drilling commencement at Nelson Bay River Project
Shree Minerals Limited (ASX: SHH) (“Shree” or the Company) is a Perth based multi-commodity exploration and development company which was formed on 14[th] April 2008 and was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 16[th] February 2010. The Company has exploration interests in iron, gold, coal, and base metals. It currently has two core projects; Nelson Bay River Iron in the North Western Tasmania and Catamaran Coal in the South West Tasmania (Figure 1).
Highlights
• Diamond drilling at Nelson Bay River commenced on 10[th] February 2010 with drillhole NBR-17. The drilling has intersected magnetic mineralisation from 223 to 234m.
• The Company believes the Nelson Bay River Project has potential to produce Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) with grades of greater than 60% Fe, and beneficiable material (magnetite) of greater than 38% Fe capable to produce concentrates suitable for coal washeries and high-grade pellets
• The Company carried out upgrading of access tracks and clearance of drill site pads for the 2010 diamond drilling and other feasibility study works
• In February 2010 , the Company has appointed Pitt & Sherry Consulting Engineers to conduct the Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) for its Nelson Bay River (NBR) Magnetite Project

Nelson Bay Iron Ore Project (EL 41/2004 & 54/2008)
The Nelson Bay Iron Project includes two contiguous licences, EL 41/2004 and EL 54/2008 and cover areas of 50 km2 and 42 km2 respectively. The Project areas are located about 5 km east of the town of Temma and about 70 km southwest of Smithton, in North West Tasmania (Figure 1).
Access to the tenements is via the Temma and Heemskirk sealed road and thereon via nicely maintained forestry tracks.
The Nelson Bay River iron mineralisation is hosted by a 10 to 28 metres wide mafic dyke that cross cuts the country rocks at right angle. Tasmanian Government airborne magnetic survey has mapped a series of NW striking, strong amplitude magnetic features (Figure 2). One of these magnetic features, a 4 km long structure occurs within the EL41/2004, is known as the Nelson Bay River Iron Prospect (Figures 2 & 3), which is the subject of this reporting. A second significant magnetic feature, similar to the Nelson Bay River iron mineralisation occurs 5 km south at EL54/2008 and is known as the Rebecca Magnetite Occurrence (Figure 2).
The Company has 100% interest in the Project tenements. The Nelson River Prospect (EL41/2004) has two identified magnetic anomalies (Figure 2); the North and South. Major part of the exploration work has been carried out on the Northern anomaly. Since inception the Company has directed its resources towards the development of the Northern anomaly (Nelson Bay River Iron Project) and has carried out outcrop sampling (Plate 1) (grab and channel sampling), diamond drilling of 535.3 m along 11 holes, ground magnetic survey, etc. The drilling has extended the strike length of the iron mineralisation to almost 1km in the northern anomaly. The drilling has intersected both DSO (Plate 2) and beneficiable magnetite (Plate 3) materials. The outcrop sampling results are given in Table 1 and diamond drilling results in Table 2.

Note: Coordinates given are in the Map Grid of Australia 1994 (MGA94). With the exception of drillhole NBR-6 all drillholes at the Project are oriented to -45 degrees to 050 degree. Sampling was conducted at 1 m intervals and analysed at SGS Australia laboratories.

Based on the work performed to date, the Company is of the view that the Nelson Bay Project area has the potential to produce Direct Shipping Ore (DSO), with iron grades greater than 60% Fe, as well as beneficiable material (magnetite) of greater than 30% Fe capable to produce concentrates suitable for coal washeries and high-grade pellets (Tables 1 & 2).
Additionally, Shree’s exploration work has confirmed the presence of iron mineralisation at the southern anomaly as well.
Outlook
With the encouraging results of 2008-2009 exploration, further drilling program of 500m diamond is planned, to test for deeper extensions of DSO as well as beneficiable magnetite mineralisation. The Company currently has JORC compliant magnetite resource of 6.9Mt at 38.2% magnetite, using a 20% cut off. On completion of the 2010 drilling a JORC compliant resource estimate for the DSO and magnetite for the Northern anomaly will be made followed by work on a bankable feasibility study to determine the project economics.
The 2010 diamond drilling at the Nelson Bay River Iron Project commenced on 10[th] February with drillhole NBR-17. To date about 260m has been drilled. The drillhole, as anticipated, has intersected magnetite mineralisation between 223 to 234m.
During January and early February 2010, Shree carried out an access track upgrade and drill site preparation for the upcoming drilling and studies related to Project development.
