==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • Preparing NBR work program for 2011 field season.

  • Resource estimation for the NBR Project

  • Feasibility Study progressed including Metallurgical, environmental and engineering studies of NBR project.

Nelson Bay River Iron Ore Project

The Nelson Bay Iron Project includes two contiguous licences, EL 41/2004 and EL 54/2008. 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. Access to the tenements is via the Temma and Heemskirk sealed road and thereon via forestry tracks. The Company has 100% interest in the Project tenements.

The work done (geophysical studies of airborne and ground magnetic data, geological mapping, rock chip sampling) to date has confirmed the presence of beneficiable magnetite and DSO (goethitic-hematite) resources within the EL 41/2004.

Feasibility study Progressed

As part of feasibility study, budgetary proposals have been obtained for operations based on mobile contractor equipment, transport contractors & port . These studies have indicated an estimated FOB Burnie port cash cost in the range of A$45 to $50 per ton for DSO product. Physical ore characterisation tests on DSO drill core from NBR suggest that the ore is moderately strong and would produce lump of approximately 65% which fetches a premium price compared to Iron Ore Fines. The company is encouraged by these results especially in current market conditions which are robust for Iron Ore with recent spot prices of iron ore Fines 62% Fe product CFR China of around U$180 per ton and strong outlook driven by demand growth from China.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment

An Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment by independent consultants by Cultural Heritage Management Australia (CHMA) of the proposed NBR Mine Development area was completed. No sites of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage or archaeological significance were found within the study area. The general assessment is that the study area encompasses a landscape that is of low archaeological sensitivity. Thus there are no site specific heritage constraints to development activity proceeding within the bounds of these areas.

Tarkine Emergency National Heritage Listing

The Commonwealth Minister has allowed the emergency listing to lapse after the end of the 12 month emergency listing period.
