Eastern Iron Limited (ASX: EFE) is pleased to report on activities undertaken during the quarter ended 30[th] June 2015.

NOWA NOWA IRON PROJECT

The Nowa Nowa Iron Project is located some 250 kilometres east of Melbourne close to the Princes Highway, which provides ready access to several nearby towns and possible export sites (Figure 1).

Figure 1 - Nowa Nowa Locality Plan

Over the past 12 months, Eastern Iron has advanced a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) into the potential development of the magnetite-rich iron ore at the Five Mile deposit. The results of this study were reported in a release dated 29 September 2014, Nowa Nowa Project Feasibility Results.

In the previous quarter the Company reported the results of further optimisation studies which examined alternative proposals for transport of the finished product from the minesite to export markets. The results of these studies were reported in a release dated 4 March 2015, Nowa Nowa Project Update.

Operating and capital cost estimates (shown in the table below) are based on the results of the Feasibility study, modified to include slurry pipeline estimates from the ISG November 2014 study and estimates for the increased cost of comminution, further magnetic separation and tailings disposal from wet processing at the minesite.

Nowa Nowa Iron Project

Geological Resource	9.05Mt @ 50.8% Fe1
Crushing Plant Feed	1 Mtpa ore
Mine Life	9.5 years
Mass yield (average)	64%
Iron recovery	81%
Production (average)	600,000tpa
Product	62% Fe magnetite
**FOB Cost2 **	A$31.4/t product

Notes 1. Resource calculated at 40% Fe lower cut-off grade

1. Site costs including mining, processing and indirect costs

2. Capital costs have been calculated at +/-15% and include contingency and EPCM costs

The information concerning resources is extracted from the report entitled “Resource Upgrade at Nowa Nowa Iron Project” announced to the ASX on 21 May 2014 and is available to view on www.easterniron.com.au. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

Little work has been undertaken during this quarter and the Company continues to assess its options for securing funding to complete the project assessment at Nowa Nowa.

Next Steps

Technical studies and more detailed evaluation are required to bring the various enhancements included in the project plan to the feasibility level. These include:

• Expanded metallurgical testwork for producing a +62% Fe product using low intensity wet magnetic separation.

• Crush and grindsize optimisation.

• Concentrate pipeline engineering and design.

• Detailed design of slurry pipeline, stockpile area and associated headworks.

• Water supply studies.

• Detailed capital and operating cost estimates.

Total cost of these works is estimated at around $800,000.
