• Only 17 of the 81 historic holes have been assayed for Iron in the m nera i li se d Ti n zones.

• 15 of those drill intersections have an average width of 24m at a weighted average grade of 32%Fe.

• One drill intersection was selected for initial metallurgical testwork, results of which produced a magnetic concentrate assaying above 68% Fe. The concentrate was described b ProMet En ineers as “a y g

• high quality concentrate product”.

� T o d a e t on yl 4 kilometres of the 22 kilometres of magnetic skarns currently identified in the company’s tenure has been drill tested.

Metallurgical Testwork – Second Stage Results

==> picture [721 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

• G r n i d Si ze 4 ti mes coarser m cron i an mos o t th er M tit e (150 ) th agne

• Projects = Cost Savings.

• Most other Magnetite Projects are BIF hosted deposits that require a grind of 40 micron or less to achieve saleable iron ore product.

• Standard Davis Tube Recovery results confirm high quality concentrate p roduct with 69%Fe , 1.5%SiO 2, 0.02%P & 1.9%S.

• Coarse Grind Size beneficial to a potential Tin recovery circuit.

Tin Potential

==> picture [721 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

• L oca e t d 15 k m NW an d a ong s r l t ik e o t th e en son e R i B ll Mi ne w hi c h has produced more than 200,000t of Tin worth >$3.5 Billion today.

• Tin mining began at Mount Lindsay during the 1890s.

• Substantial tin mineralisation within historic drill results including 16.1 metres @ 1.55% tin, 10.9 metres @ 1.72% tin, 23 metres @ 0.79% tin and 36.2 metres @ 0.49% tin.

• Potential for a significant stand alone Tin Deposit.

• Magnetite production by-products (Tin, Tungsten & Copper).

Current Work Program

==> picture [721 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

• V en ure as con rac e t h t t d th ree r D ill Ri gs w ith an n i iti a campa gn o up o l i f t 10,000 metres of Diamond Core to be completed by June 2008, with 3,000 metres already completed.

• Fugro Airborne Surveys Pty Ltd completed a detailed airborne .

• magnetic survey in December This will soon provide further information on the magnetite tonnage potential of the project.

• ProMet Engineers will do additional coarse grind analysis on the No.2 Zone, DTR analysis on the Main Zone and, combined Tin liberation testwork .
