WEST PEAK IRON LTD
FARM-IN FOR GOLD AND BASE METALS AT SANTY WELL
The Board of West Peak Iron Ltd (West Peak or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Farm-in Agreement with Cohiba Minerals Ltd (Cohiba) for the non-iron mineral rights of the 100% owned Santy Well tenements being E59/1677 & E59/1678.
Key Points:
- The tenements E59/1677 & E59/1678 were applied for directly by West Peak, which have been recently granted and are currently 100% owned;
- Cohiba must spend a minimum of $100,000 on exploration expenditure within the twelve months to earn a 50% interest in the non-iron mineral rights of the tenements, and can earn up to 90% interest through exploration expenditure of $900,000;
- The Farm-in allows West Peak to focus on iron ore exploration while still maintaining an exposure to upside in gold and base metal exploration at its Santy Well Project.
- The Santy Well project includes approximately 40 kms of the northerly limb of the east trending Tallering Greenstone Belt, which has been identified as having potential for gold and base metals.

OVERVIEW
The Board of West Peak Iron Ltd (West Peak or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Farm-in Agreement for the 100% owned Santy Well tenements (E59/1677 & E59/1678), for the non-iron mineral rights with Cohiba Minerals Ltd (Cohiba).
West Peak Executive Chairman, David Parker said, "we are pleased to have been able to enter into a farm-in arrangement on these two tenements, ensuring that a focused approach to testing the gold and base metal potential of this prospective greenstone belt is carried out. This allows West Peak to maintain its focus on exploring for iron in its prospective Liberian and West Australian tenements while still giving its shareholders exposure to the gold and base metal sectors."
SANTY WELL PROJECT
The Santy Well Project is located approximately 60 kms north of Mullewa in the mid west and consists of six tenements (figure1) of which three are granted and three are under application.
The Santy Well project includes approximately 40 kms of the northerly limb of the east trending Tallering Greenstone Belt, which has been identified as having potential for gold and base metals, with drill targets identified. Previous exploration over the Santy Well project area has been reasonably extensive and successful in defining numerous targets from surface exploration and geophysical surveys; however follow up drilling has generally only been of a shallow nature and appears to have been largely ineffective.

TERMS OF THE FARM-IN
The tenements subject to the Farm-in are E59/1677 & E59/1678 which are currently 100% owned by West Peak.

West Peak received $10,000 on signing of the agreement. West Peak maintains all iron rights on the tenements.
The Farm-in Agreement is conditional on Cohiba being admitted to the Official List of the ASX and all necessary third party, regulatory and shareholder approvals and consents where applicable. These conditions must be met on or before 31 August 2011.

LIBERIA
West Peak has 1,692km² of granted tenure prospective for iron ore in Liberia through a combination of reconnaissance and exploration licences in the Grand Basa, Bomi, Bong and Rivercess counties. All licences have identified iron bearing formations within their extents and are located close to port, rail and road infrastructure (both existing and currently being upgraded to meet iron ore industry requirements). The company is currently preparing to carry out a field program involving mapping and rock chip sampling to identify prospective targets for drill testing in the later stages of the year.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
West Peak holds nine granted tenements and thirty two tenement applications, of which five are subject to ballot, in the emerging Mid West and Yilgarn Iron Provinces. West Peak's strategy is to actively explore its land holding to identify and focus on those projects which are believed to have the greatest potential for holding economic iron mineralisation.
