Resource estimation for the NBR Project
Nelson Bay River Iron Ore Project
Pre Feasibility study completed .
-
The study confirms the viability of the project to become a producer of iron ore in North West Tasmania.
-
The Project is located in close proximity to existing infrastructure within an established mineral province with active mining in the region of North West Tasmania.
-
The Project has three types of resources: Direct Shipping Iron (DSO), Beneficiable low-grade resource (BFO) and Magnetite resource
-
The Company plans to mine the DSO first followed by beneficiable low- grade magnetic goethitic-hematite (BFO) material, and then the magnetite resource.
-
Feasibility study of DSO pit will be completed including updating of the resources based on 2011 drilling which based on observations are expected to increase DSO resources.
-
The PFS study has highlighted a few areas requiring further technical input before commencing mining of deep magnetite resources. These studies will be attended to during the DSO & BFO production phase. These studies have the potential to improve project economics.
Statutory Approvals progressed
-
Mining Lease : A mining lease application (MLA 3 M, 2011) which was submitted to Mineral Resources Tasmania earlier for Category 1 products (metallic substances) has been amended to add Category 3 products (construction minerals) as an additional category. This has been done to provide for the possible beneficial use of suitable parts of waste rock which Shree has identified as potential future opportunities for purposes, such as road base. Testwork has confirmed the characteristics of waste rock to required specifications for such use.
-
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBCA) : The Company referred its proposal for developing a mine to the Commonwealth Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (the Department) in February 2011. The

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Shree Minerals Limited
10 Kings Park Road WEST PERTH WA 6005 PO Box 570 West Perth WA 6872 T+ 61 8 9480 2000 E+61 8 9322 7787 E [email protected] W www.grantthornton.com.au
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Shree Minerals Limited (“Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration
Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Shree Minerals Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Shree Minerals Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
c giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
d complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
