Iron Ore – Company Focus

==> picture [361 x 289] intentionally omitted <==

  • 5 exploration projects, Yarraloola, Shepherds Well, Yarrie, KingX and Buddadoo acquired –

  • from leading Australian prospector Mark Creasy

  • CZR acquired 85% interest in 3 of the 5 projects for total issue of 500M shares @ deemed value of $15M and currently holds options to acquire 70% of each of the Shepherds Well and Yarrie Projects

Focus projects are being explored for direct shipping iron-ore from the Pilbara. Other projects are targeting manganese and other styles of mineralization that include gold, copper, base-metals, titanium, vanadium and uranium

CZR Pilbara iron ore projects

Potential for the projects to provide feedstock minerals for vertically integrated steelmills

5

Yarraloola-Shepherds Well & Yarrie Strategically located, infrastructure rich, large scale Pilbara Iron Ore Projects

Yarraloola-Shepherds Well

  • 1,436km[2] tenement package near the West Pilbara coast and bisected by emerging iron ore transport infrastructure solutions

  • Surrounded by major (500Mt+ DSO deposits) iron ore producers and explorers – contiguous with CITIC Pacific’s Sino Iron project and Rio Tinto’s Mesa A and Mesa J Mines and adjacent to Iron Ore Holdings’ (IOH) Bungaroo South Project

  • Multiple large scale exploration targets covering 4 different styles of iron ore mineralisation with outcropping formation extending over a length of ~50km

  • Potential low operating-cost environment

  • Yarrie

  • 1,022km[2] over four contiguous tenements, 160km East of Port Hedland and adjoining BHP’s YarrieGoldsworthy mine

  • Serviced by bitumen road and natural gas pipeline and close to BHPB owned railway to Port Hedland

==> picture [353 x 326] intentionally omitted <==

CZR Pilbara iron ore projects

  • Under-explored because iron bearing host rocks are often overlain by younger cover

6

Yarraloola-Shepherds Well Project Infrastructure Infrastructure & potential transport options

==> picture [332 x 373] intentionally omitted <==

  • Iron Ore Holdings (ASX:IOH), subject to a take over from BC Iron (ASX:BCI), are developing a new haul-road through the Yarraloola and Shepherds Well tenements to a new port at Cape Preston East

  • CZR has completed access agreements with IOH which grant IOH access through CZR tenements, with CZR to have negotiated access to haul road infrastructure

  • AQA since taken over by majors Baosteel and rail operator Aurizon, who aim to provide new railway through Yarraloola

  • Abundant energy with natural gas pipelines crossing the project and fresh ground water

  • Yarraloola-Shepherds Well tenements are -

  • entirely within 20km 100km from Cape Preston East

Yarraloola Geology – Multiple DSO Opportunities

==> picture [277 x 410] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Yarraloola Iron Formations and Targets
----- End of picture text -----

  • 18 months of extensive geological assessment from historical data and reconnaissance geological sampling

  • Opportunities for outcropping, sub-cropping and subsurface channel iron deposit (CID) style iron mineralisation

  • 3 phase drill program is planned to test and potentially bring the initial targets to a maiden JORCstandard resource

Initial drilling program is scheduled to commence September 2014 and is budgeted to cost ~$0.2m and be carried out over a 2 week period with an option to immediately extend programs if results warrant follow-up

8

Yarraloola Geology – Prime DSO Drill Targets

  • 2,000m of RC drilling planned for September 2014 on accessible targets with pistolic iron stone outcrop up to 60.1% Fe

  • Priority drill target – Robe River CID Prospect

  • New outcropping discoveries from field work potentially significant:

  • Whitegate Channel Extension – 4km long and up to 50m thick hosted by Brockman Iron Formation with pistolic capping samples up to 59.1% Fe; and

  • Peters Creek: 5km channel identified outcrop of pistolic ironstone

  • Encouraging potential for further pistolic ironstone channels beneath cover

==> picture [379 x 261] intentionally omitted <==

CID outcrops (in red) – potential drill targets

  • Lower Robe River, Lower BBQ Valley and Lower Peters Creek

  • Areas identified have potential to host +100m tonnes each

9

Yarraloola Geology Large scale new beneficiated shipping ore discovery

==> picture [274 x 393] intentionally omitted <==

  • CZR has identified a unique iron formation in the Ashburton Trough outcropping over 6km x 1km with samples to 39.5% Fe and adjacent to proposed IOH haul road and Baosteel JV proposed railway

  • Potential large scale near-surface magnetite resource, with potential DSO pockets as well

  • • Target is ~40km South of CITIC’s ~$12B Sino Iron magnetite project infrastructure and beneficiation plant

  • Three RC drill holes for ~600m planned to commence September 2014 in Ashburton Trough

  • Low risk, advanced exploration opportunity for the discovery of a substantial magnetite resource demonstrated by an abundance of outcropping to subcropping iron formations

10

Yarraloola Scoping Study Potential low cost production scenarios

  • 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

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

==> picture [345 x 236] intentionally omitted <==

Source: Iron Ore Holdings Investor Presentation July 2014

  • Baosteel takeover of AQA presents potential for new railway infrastructure to be developed and planned to intersect Yarraloola

  • 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

11

Shepherds Well Prospectivity Magnetite project adjacent to CITIC-Sino Project

==> picture [270 x 397] intentionally omitted <==

  • CZR holds the exclusive contract to purchase 70% interest in the Shepherds Well tenements

  • Shepherds Well (192km[2] ) hosts an extension of the Archaean-age Cleaverville Terrain, which reports a number of large magnetite deposits

  • Potential for lenses of high-grade Yarrie-style mineralisation

  • The bitumenized North-West Coastal Highway cuts through the tenement

  • Early stage exploration by mapping and surface sampling has identified eastern and western magnetic zones of ~9km x 400m which are largely covered by soil and samples to 39.1% Fe

  • Two RC drill holes planned for the larger magnetic targets identified on the eastern zone

  • Potential to also follow up base metals results from rock chip samples (up to 9.8g/t Ag, 4.4% Pb and 0.5% Zn)

Surrounded By Value

==> picture [281 x 401] intentionally omitted <==

Yarraloola-Shepherds Well project is surrounded by significant iron ore mines and projects…

  • Mineralogy / CITIC (~$12b project)

  • RIO (Multi $B Pilbara projects)

  • FMG (Multi $B Pilbara projects)

  • RHI (~$87M market cap)

And is in a strategic location that has attracted recent takeover activity:

  • AQA (~$1.4B takeover by Baosteel / Aurizon )

  • IOH (~$250M takeover by BCI)

CZR current value approximately $35m lowest in neighbourhood and closest potential DSO producer to port

14

Strategic Pilbara Opportunity – Minnow amongst majors

  • Location:

  • Yarraloola-Shepherds Well is close to the coast with natural gas pipeline across the projects and is contiguous with CITIC Pacific’s Sino project and the Rio Tinto Mesa A and Mesa J Mines and are entirely within 20km-100km of Cape Preston East

  • Yarrie lies 160km East of Port Hedland, adjacent to BHP’s Yarrie-Goldsworthy mine and railway and serviced by bitumen road and natural gas pipeline

  • Scale prospective ground: Yarraloola-Shepherds Well and Yarrie projects comprise significant land packages with large scale exploration potential and advanced geological targeting

  • Cheap transport costs: Preliminary scoping study by Engenium estimates that total transport operating cost for a DSO iron ore operation at Yarraloola could be as low as $24.33/tonne FOB using the proposed Cape Preston East multi user facility

  • Advanced exploration targeting , with exceptional preliminary results from samples taken, making the Company poised to grow from imminent drilling success
