Substantial Exploration Upside

NBR: Product strategy

==> picture [121 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Phased approach:

  1. Direct Shipping Iron Ore (DSO ) , with very low deleterious elements (very low Al2O3 ) : Lump & Fines

  2. Iron Ore product (Fines & Lump) from Beneficiable goethitic-hematite iron resource.

  3. Magnetite concentrates suitable for:

  4. Dense Media Magnetite (DMM) separation in coal washery and

  5. high-grade Blast Furnace pellets.

DMM is a premium product

NBR Iron Project – DSO Mine Plan

  • The production schedule for the first two years comprise of mining DSO iron ore .

  • The DSO requires no further beneficiation to produce a marketable product.

  • Two separate DSO pits are planned in the first two years (comprising DSO South Pit and DSO North Pit, which is within the BFO resources)

    • Responded to submission received & final EIS has been published

    • All departmental queries have been responded

Port Access: MOU with Grange Resources

Offtake Contract: MOU with Large International Trading house

: Funding Advanced stage of discussions with Banks for Debt Funding

Sulphide Creek EL 43/2004

==> picture [121 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

  • Previous exploration shows presence of gold

  • Harvey Creek Fault considered as a conduit for gold mineralisation

  • Tenement lies within the Dundas element, which hosts world class deposits (Rosebery & Hellyer copper, lead & zinc mines, Mt Lyell Copper-Gold Mine, Henty Gold Mine, Renison Tin Mine, Ave-bury Nickel Deposit).

==> picture [410 x 346] intentionally omitted <==

Mt Sorell EL 42/2008

  • Exploration license covers an area of 10 km2 and located in West Tasmania.

  • Potential for a VHMS deposit e.g. Rosebery, Hellyer etc., within the Cambrian volcanics that corresponds to the Aberfoyle-reported zinc soil anomaly

  • In addition there is also the possibility of hybrid epithermal style Cu/Au mineralisation similar to that of Mt Lyell.

  • The 2011/12 fieldwork has extended the anomaly and identified encouraging vectors consistent with the presence of a Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) mineralisation system in the area; supporting earlier explorers view.

==> picture [355 x 412] intentionally omitted <==

Mt Bertha EL 42/2004

  • Exploration license covers an area of 134 km2 and located 20km northeast of the Savage River iron ore mine and about 50 km southwest of the port of Burnie in North West Tasmania.

  • Five exploration targets have been defined and there is considered potential for:

  • Both DSO and beneficiable magnetite resources;

  • Besshi Style volcanogenic Cu-Zn-Ag-Au mineralisation;

  • Tennant Creek Style iron oxide associated Cu-gold mineralisation in brecciated zones;

  • Avebury Style nickel mineralisation;
