Non-binding Memorandum of Understanding

Havilah Resources is pleased to announce that it has signed non‐binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hunan Valin Liangang Import and Export Co., Ltd and Zoomlion Material Handling Equipment Co., Ltd regarding co‐operation on evaluating the development and investment prospects for the Maldorky iron ore deposit. Both are large and highly successful organizations in China, who are rapidly progressing global business strategies.

Under the MOU’s Havilah will supply bulk samples of beneficiated Maldorky ore to a recognized testing facility in China who will determine the suitability of the ore to blend with Hunan Valin Liangang Import and Export Co’s existing iron ore feeds. If the Maldorky iron ore is suitable, then it is contemplated that Hunan Valin Liangang Import and Export Co., Ltd and Havilah will enter into an iron ore off‐take agreement. Subject to this, it is planned that Zoomlion Material Handling Equipment Co., Ltd will supply necessary processing and mining equipment and will assist with required infrastructure development for the project.
