Introduction

  • 3 exploration projects, Yarraloola, KingX and Buddadoo acquired from leading Australian prospector – Mark Creasy

  • CZR acquired 85% interest in each projects for total issue of 500M shares @ deemed value of $15M (Creasy major shareholder – 69.2%)

  • Projects are being explored for iron-ore and manganese deposits but also report other styles of mineralization that include gold, copper, basemetals, titanium, vanadium and uranium

  • Potential for the projects to provide feed-stock minerals for vertically integrated steel-mills

Yarraloola Iron Ore Project

  • Large 1,450km[2] land package is the most significant in the region, adjacent to the mining town of Pannawonica.

  • Surrounded by major Australian and international iron ore producers and explorers - 35km south of CITIC Pacific’s Sino Iron project and immediately adjacent to Rio Tinto’s Mesa A and Mesa J Mines

  • Multiple large scale exploration targets covering 4 different styles of iron ore

  • Potential low operating-cost environment

  • Contiguous tenements consisting of 2 Mining Leases under application, 6 granted Exploration Licences with 1 more under application, 2 granted Prospecting Licenses and 2 more under application

Yarraloola Infrastructure

  • Iron Ore Holdings (ASX:IOH) are developing a new haul-road through the Yarraloola tenements to a port at Cape Preston East

CZR

  • CZR is ideally positioned adjecent to the established great northern highway and located near the new developing multiuser port at Cape Preston East

  • Natural gas pipelines cross the project

  • Yarraloola hosts fresh ground-water

100km

  • Coziron tenements are entirely within 45km - 100km from Cape Preston East

5

Yarraloola Scoping Study

  • Major engineering group ‘Engenium’ completed preliminary scoping study on product-exit options and transport costs

  • Preferred option is the new Cape Preston East extension, where extensive studies and government and environmental approvals given or proposed

  • Given proximity to the coast transportation could be via truck haulage or slurry pipe

==> picture [330 x 186] intentionally omitted <==

Existing port at nearby Cape Preston

  • ASX:IOH have announced infrastructure solution for their Bungaroo South project south of Yarraloola with an estimated operating cost of US$48/tonne FOB

  • Engenium have estimated that the transport operating cost for CZR could be as low as $24.33 /tonne FOB by trucking to Cape Preston East

  • Hamersley Basin sediments host magnetitemineralization in the Marra Mamba, Brockman and Boolgeeda Iron-Formations, along with occurrences of high-grade (+55% Fe) goethitehaematite mineralization.

  • The iron-formations throughout the project outcrop over a strike length in excess of 50km

  • Ashburton Trough hosts magnetite-bearing schist and chert which have strongly magnetic units outcropping and sub-cropping over an area of 12km by 1km

  • Carnarvon Basin sediments host detrital or riverine (Channel or CID) deposits and these outcrop extensively across the western part of the project.

Yarraloola Exploration

  • To date over 231 surface samples return high, anomalous Fe results (> 40%). 44 Samples > 55% Fe

  • • 2012 reconnaissance drilling over a small portion of the total tenement package completed 65 vertical RC holes for 4090m, generating additional targets

  • • Channel Iron (CID) targets generated for direct shippingore hosted by sediments of Carnarvon Basin

  • • Haematite-goethite (HGO) direct shipping-ore targets developed within and on the magnetite iron-formations

  • • Over 50 strike km of magnetite-rich Marra Mamba, Brockman (BRO) and Boolgeeda Iron (BLG) Formation the Hamersley Basin and a new 12km x 1km horizon in the Ashburton Trough (ASH)

  • CID, HGO and magnetite prospects delineated for drilling

8

KingX Mn Manganese Prospectivity

  • Large scale land position 120km’s long, 12 contiguous tenements comprising 3,000km[2] in the Earaheedy Basin about 130km North-East of town of Wiluna

  • Outcropping manganese mineralization reported on the transition from the Frere to Windida Formation near major regional faults

  • Recently flown aero mag-radiometrics survey identifies Manganese-rich samples (in red) with high potassium radiometric anomalies which suggests hydrothermal alteration associated with ore-formation

  • Frere Formation hosts extensive deposits of pelletal iron-formation

==> picture [303 x 295] intentionally omitted <==

9

KingX Manganese Exploration

  • Drilling is planned following further mapping and sampling underway to provide additional control on drill-site selection

  • Exploration will focus on the project being prospective for Kalahari-style manganese, ironore, pelletal iron-ore, sediment and fault-hosted copper, Mississippi-stlye Pb-Zn

  • Almost no systematic historical exploration over a laterally prospective unit that has some 200km of strike length

  • Zenith Minerals Limited (ASX:ZNC) announced on 22 November 2012 that drilling at its Red Lake tenement approx 20 km[2] North West of the project returned the first drill intersects of potential DSO grade manganese recorded in the Earaheedy Basin

Buddadoo

  • The 200Km[2 ] Buddadoo tenement is located 200km east of Geraldton and 60km from the railnetwork servicing Geraldton

  • Covers part of the Gullewa Greenstone Belt and adjacent granite-gneiss terrain.

  • Buddadoo Range V-Ti-Magnetite – gabbrohosted, non-JORC resource of 45Mt @ 0.3% V + 6% TiO2 from shallow drilling along only part of the strike length

  • Gold mineralisation and anomalism in felsic and mafic gneisses and granitic rocks
