ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

SECOND JV WITH FORTESCUE METALS GROUP - TO EXPLORE FOR BEDDED IRON ORE NEAR PARABURDOO

Cullen Resources Ltd (Cullen) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (FMG) allowing FMG to earn up to an 80% interest in the iron ore rights on Cullen’s E52/1667 (“Snowy Mountain”), located ~ 30km south east of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia, and approximately 20 kilometres east of the major Channar iron ore mine.

FMG will be exploring for iron ore within the Brockman Iron Formation, targeting similar style ore to that being mined at Channar. A particular objective will be to evaluate iron formation covered by recent alluvial sediments and which may not have been adequately tested by past exploration.

Principal terms of the MOU are:

  • FMG commits to spend a minimum of $75,000;

  • FMG may earn a 51% interest in the iron ore rights by sole funding total expenditure of $600,000 within three years of the Execution Date of the MOU;

  • FMG may earn a further 29% interest in the iron ore rights if it sole funds an additional $1M within a further three years;

  • Cullen’s residual interest (49% or 20%) shall be free carried to Decision to Mine (DTM); and,

  • At DTM, FMG shall negotiate in good faith a financing package to facilitate Cullen’s participation in the mining development. If Cullen does not participate it shall receive a 1.5% FOB Royalty on the first 20M tonnes of ore.

This is the second iron rights MOU Cullen has signed with FMG Ltd in the Pilbara region, and in addition, Cullen has a further four Joint Ventures in progress in the Ashburton -Pilbara Region, for a variety of commodities i.e.: iron (API - Aquila 50%); gold (Intrepid Mining); gold and base metals (Red Hill Iron); and uranium (Thundelarra) - see Figure.

Cullen’s Managing Director, Dr Chris Ringrose, commented that Cullen and FMG hold adjoining tenements over the target formations in the E52/1667 area, and a joint venture with FMG, which is developing a major iron ore resource base in the region, would allow for cost effective and efficient exploration. Cullen retains the Other Mineral Rights for E52/1667 and is developing targets for gold mineralization in particular.

Dr. Chris Ringrose, Managing Director.
