----- End of picture text -----

Macquarie Commodities Research – June 8[th] 2011 Quote :

“suppliers are continually striving to stand still in terms of grades”.

Analysis of Australian export trade values, using the Platt's 62% index (FOB Australia basis) has assessed implied export grade – see graph.

“…it does still suggest average grades are down”

Makes magnetite – high grade low deleterious material - more and more valuable

WHY MAGNETITE

Price Premium (Platt’s)

==> picture [432 x 404] intentionally omitted <==

Oct 25[th] : Price /t for 62% Fe – U$138.5 (Hematite)

Thus for 69% Fe ~ U$154.1 (Magnetite)*

  • Simple extrapolation but would expect a premium for high quality con’ with low impurities

HAWSONS IRON PROJECT

==> picture [108 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [720 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [384 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

  • Prefeasibility Study – positive

  • Resource – very large with potential

  • for 50 year mine life

  • Magnetite – premium price for quality product, strong demand

  • Infrastructure – water, power and transport all available for start up

  • Mining – very low unit costs because low strip ratio, very wide mining widths, low abrasion index and single pit

Native Title has been extinguished

==> picture [120 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

  • Processing - comparatively very low

  • Concentrate Grade of 69-71% Fe

Contained Iron : 700 - 1,700 million tonnes
