Chairman Dr Leon Pretorius

Managing Director Dr John Bishop

Directors Dr Andrew White Stephen Bartrop

ASX Announcement

Sale and IPO of Fitzroy and Glentanna Projects

Icon Resources Ltd (Icon) is pleased to provide the following update on the Company’s activities:

  • Icon’s Fitzroy copper/zinc project in central-east Queensland will be vended into a new company, Fitzroy Resources Ltd, with the intention of listing on the ASX.

  • Icon's Board anticipates that this move will enable Icon shareholders to benefit from a better market valuation of the Company's promising volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) prospects, and allow a more efficient development of its Mt Carbine tungsten project.

  • The Managing Director of the new company will be Mr Will Dix, a geologist with 15 years experience in gold, nickel and base metal exploration, mining and project evaluation.

  • The Fitzroy IPO is planned for late 2010 and Icon shareholders will be offered a priority entitlement to a proportion of the share issue.

EPM 17604 ‘Fitzroy’ is located approximately 80kms NW of Rockhampton and covers an under-explored strike length of approximately 40kms containing several VHMS mineral occurrences including the Window-Scorpion-Sulphide City deposits which have a current Inferred Resource estimate of 1.75Mt @ 1.71% Cu, 2.05% Zn, 0.24ppm Au & 8.5ppm Ag, or 2.28% CuEq.*

The Fitzroy tenement is considered prospective for extensions to the known mineralisation and for concealed systems that may form part of a VHMS cluster.

Icon’s EPM 15401 ‘Glentanna’ in SE Queensland, will also be vended into the new company. This tenement contains several little-explored base metal occurrences, including Grieves Quarry where the Geological Survey of Queensland has previously estimated a small (non-JORC) resource of 0.2Mt @ 5% Zn.[#]

Under the proposed terms of the IPO, it is planned to raise approximately $5M by issuing 25M shares at 20c per share, of which around 20% will be a priority entitlement to Icon shareholders. As vendor of the projects, Icon will receive 7.5M shares plus 5M options (exercisable at 30c) in the new company. At listing Icon anticipates that it will hold ~19% of the fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

Perth based Kings Park Capital Pty Ltd will manage the listing process of Fitzroy Resources Ltd.

  • JORC compliant Inferred Resources at Fitzroy (copper-zinc) are detailed in an ASX announcement dated 27 November 2007. Equivalence above based on metal prices of US$3.36/lb Cu & US$0.93/lb Zn and assuming 100% recovery.
