Structural Change Favours High Grade Ore
----- End of picture text -----
-
Premium Iron Ore Market is applicable
-
Environmental policies in China have created a structural change which favours high grade ore
-
Lower supply from Brazil also a factor
-
Noticeable shift toward quality projects and widening premium recently reversed due to tight supply from Brazil
-
Premium of ~US$35/t for 65% Fe product versus 58% Fe product

-
Identified that it has significant potential to host a small mining operation that produces high quality product
-
Commenced its maiden drill campaign in November 2018, which was very successful
-
In March 2019, an updated mineral resource estimate was established – confirming the project’s potential
-

Excellent Preliminary Metallurgical Results
----- End of picture text -----
-
Low deleterious elements, well within acceptable limits
-
The project is anticipated to produce Premium >65% Fe lump and >63% Fe fines products
-
Estimates 25-30% as a lump product (the ability of Fenix to extract premium prices will be determined during offtake discussions)
-
Average Crushing Work Index (CWi) of 2.6 kWh/t (low power consumption for crushing)
-
Average Bond Abrasion Index indicates low equipment consumable consumption rates
-
Lump properties (Reduction Index, Reduction-Disintegration Index and Decrepitation Index) positive for blast furnace use

Capex / Opex Considerations
----- End of picture text -----
CAPEX requirement is expected to be modest due to:
-
No additional port infrastructure required as Geraldton Port currently has abundant surplus capacity for ore storage and ship loading
-
Existing sealed road used previously by Crossland Resources/Murchison Metals to haul iron ore from its Jack Hills project (2006-2011) passes within 15km of Iron Ridge
-
High grade product needs only minimal processing (crushing and screening) and no tailings disposal facility
OPEX likely to be majority related to transport and logistics, such as:
-
Road transport path 490km to Geraldton Port
-
The recent trucking JV entered into is expected to materially reduce the cost of road transport
-
Port storage and handling fees
-
Mining costs will be a function of strip ratio, which will be determined from detailed mine design which is being finalised at the moment
