Score card for 2012

Based on stated objectives 1-7 at 2011 AGM

1. Bring Portia into production as soon as possible (subject to PIRSA permitting approvals,

  • and then financing, contractors, manning)

  •  Finalising PEPR – delay due to last minute government agency requests for more detailed technical data.

  • Agreement with landholder, ongoing negotiations with contractor and financiers, expected to be finalised by the time permitting approvals come through.

2. Complete scoping study for Maldorky iron ore project (metallurgy, processing flow sheet, off-take partner/investor, mining lease proposal)

  •  Mining lease proposal first draft submitted.

  •  Completed key metallurgical test work, presently running 20t of ore through a lab scale plant

  •  Serious ongoing discussions with several potential partners / investors.

3. Advance Kalkaroo mining lease proposal

  •  Mining lease proposal now over a larger area, to be submitted early next year.

  •  Substantially upgraded resource and expanded mining plan.

  • Demonstrated depth continuity of Kalkaroo mineralisation, resource expansion likely

Score card for 2012

Based on stated objectives 1-7 at 2011 AGM

4. MMG exploration agreement (discover a major orebody)

  •  Has progressed well – detailed aeromagnetic survey covering all of JV tenements.  14,000m aircore drilling completed and soon 1000m diamond drilling.  A substantial drilling program planned for 2013 on some excellent targets.

5. Drilling to increase iron ore resources at Maldorky North (Grants) and Lilydale

  •  300 Mt iron ore resource just announced for Grants. A very substantial new mineral asset.

  •  Lilydale not drilled due to native title issues.

6. Find a partner with roasting capacity for Mutooroo ore ( and possibly further drilling )

  •  Searched for a suitable roaster on the east coast of China that could take direct shipping Mutooroo sulphide ore – good possibilities for follow up have been identified.

  •  Further drilling not justified until treatment of Mutooroo sulphide ore is resolved.

7. Seek to monetise an asset to provide early return to shareholders

  •  A formal sale process run for Kalkaroo. Considerable interest, but no suitable offers to date.

  •  Bouyant copper market means there are still good possibilities to sell down an equity interest.

Analysis

1. We are still delayed by things we cannot control

  •  It is not generally understood by the public that Government departments have become interested only in bureaucratic regulation and no longer help to facilitate the advancement of projects in spite of all their rhetoric, but actually actively hinder them.

  •  If it affects BHP Olympic Dam expansion with their vast resources, imagine the impact it has on juniors with limited resources like Havilah !

  •  Native Title remains a source of great frustration because of ambiguous legislation, legal challenges and lack of government support.

  •  This has caused us delays on Portia approval, Maldorky MLP, exploration drilling programs

2. We remain highly successful on the things that we can control

  •  The discovery of new mineral deposits – Grants iron ore, Wilkins copper-gold, Maldorky, Kalkaroo depths.

  •  Metallurgical testing programs, resource estimation, mine design and planning.

  •  Compiling required permitting documentation.

Solution

  • Management must patiently work through the regulatory issues with the various government agencies and native title groups until all permits are obtained.

  • This costs a lot of money and management time and causes unavoidable delays.

  • Shareholders need to be patient with management in the knowledge that they are doing their absolute best to progress the projects.

  • Permitting delays are just a fact of life in the modern Australian operating environment which is beset with bureaucracy and red tape.

  • Portia gold project is planned to be mined by Havilah in its own right subject to finalisation of financing details and timely receipt of all mining approvals.

  • All other multi-metal copper projects are in process of mine permitting and Havilah is seeking suitable partners who are interested in acquiring project equity and who can assist with financing and development.

At current metal prices Kalkaroo is economically robust

Based on the current resource and open pit mining model, assuming :

  • 9 Mtpa ore throughput over a 13 year mine life.

  • Capex of $447M including overburden removal.

  • Optimised metal recoveries for gold and copper.

 Estimated mining, processing, royalty, smelting and refining costs.

  • EBT estimates in this graph are derived from cash flow projections based on an optimised open pit mining model, and are subject to receipt of timely mining approvals, financing and prevailing market conditions and no material changes to the current mine plan, opex, capex and confirmation of the proposed processing flow sheet and metal recoveries.

Maldorky has favourable economics for iron ore prices >US$60/t FOB, provided capex is minimised by using existing infrastructure.

Based on the current resource and open pit mining model, assuming :

  • 2.7 Mtpa premium saleable product over a 23 year mine life.

  • Capex of $50M due to lack of overburden, simple processing, existing infrastructure.

  • US $ iron ore price and 1:1 US:AUD exchange rate.

  • Best estimates for current mining, processing, royalty and transport costs.

  • EBT estimates in this graph are derived from cash flow projections based on an optimised open pit mining model , and are subject to receipt of timely mining approvals, financing and prevailing market conditions and no material changes to the current mining plan, opex, capex and confirmation of the proposed processing flow sheet and saleable product recoveries.
