Competent Person’s Statement
Information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Dr Andrew White who is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Dr White is a Non Executive Director of and consultant to Icon Resources Ltd and has sufficient experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr White consents to inclusion in this presentation of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Projected mine life for hard rock mining is based on the existing Inferred Resource estimate and present interpretations that at least half of this will constitute ore reserve.

NO LONGER A JUNIOR EXPLORER
We have reached some significant milestones this year
-
X-Ray Ore sorter trials on the bulk samples from the mineralised stockpiles very positive, showing an eight-times upgrade to mill feed can be achieved
-
Completion of the metallurgical testwork and flowsheet design on the Mt Carbine tailings retreatment
-
Completion of a successful rights issue
-
Fitzroy copper-zinc prospects sold to new company, Fitzroy Resources Ltd (ASX:FRY)
-
Gold prospects vended into new company, Gossan Hill Gold Limited, IPO planned fourth quarter 2011 (market permitting)
-
Processing plant to begin concentrate production from the tailings has been purchased
-
Icon Resources is on its way to becoming a pre-eminent tungsten producer

-
Low-grade stockpile retreatment (2012-2018)
-
Hard rock mining (2014 - )

TAILINGS RETREATMENT
• Capital Expenditure estimated $4.4 million - we are on budget
-
Production start-up estimated late 2011
-
Production ramp up during the first quarter 2012
-
Project life ~ 2 years
-
Estimated 2 million tonnes at 0.1% WO3
-
Approximately 5,000 mtu per month
-
Cautiously estimated revenue of $5 million - $9 million / year
-
Plant becomes “fines” recovery component for next stage (low grade stockpile processing)

THE LOW GRADE STOCKPILE IS A ‘GAME CHANGER’
-
Bulk sampling of the 12 million tonne low grade stockpile from previous 3
-
mining indicated a stockpile grade of 0.075% WO
-
Trials on bulk samples of the stockpile show that X-Ray ore sorting results in at least 8 x pre-concentration of tungsten minerals in the low grade stockpile, resulting in major reduction in the size of the processing plant required
-
Ore sorting delivers 250,000 tpa as mill feed instead of 2 million tpa
-
Plans are to fast-track final feasibility studies and flow sheet design of low grade stockpile processing, to continue taking advantage of the high tungsten concentrate prices

THE MAGIC ORE SORTER
3 Low grade stockpile ~12mt @ 0.075% WO
Mill feed X-Ray 250kt/yr Ore sorter 0.6% WO3 Accept 2 million tonnes/yr
Mill expanded to include ore sorters, coarse & medium gravity circuit
Estimated Production
10,000 mtu / month of WO3 concentrate 5-7 years from 2012-3
3 Hard rock ore 39mt Inferred Resource @ 0.14% WO
Mill feed X-Ray Ore sorter 250kt/yr 1.1% WO3 Accept 2 million tonnes/yr
20,000 mtu / month of WO3 concentrate > 15 years production

-
Feasibility studies to optimise flow sheet has commenced
-
Several sources of funding are available for plant construction
-

HARD ROCK MINING
-
Icon has a JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 39 million tonnes at 0.14% WO3 at Mt Carbine in the immediate surrounds of the historic open pit
-
In 1986 development for underground mining of ~7 million tonnes was well advanced
-
The Mining Leases and surrounding Exploration Permits are under-explored, and there is significant potential to increase the global tungsten resource for future hard rock mining
-
Drilling is planned for November, before the wet season begins

- One mtu is 1% of a metric Tungsten quoted in metric tonne units (mtu) of WO 3. tonne and contains 10kg of WO
Price for APT @ US$460-470 per mtu has doubled in last twelve months (approximately US$46,000 per tonne of tungsten metal contained in APT).
