CAPE LAMBERT IRON ORE PROJECT
Work during the quarter focused on resource drilling aimed at increasing the size of, and confidence in, the mineral resource. The Company’s immediate objective is to define a sufficient resource base to produce at least 15 million tonnes per annum of magnetite concentrate over a minimum 20 year mine life.
January 2008 Resource Upgrade
Independent, international mining consultant Golder Associates completed an interim resource update late in January 2008. This upgrade included the assay results from 65 of the 88 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) holes from the 2007 drilling campaign and bulk density measurements determined from diamond drill core. The resource estimate, at a 20% Fe lower cut-off grade, is summarised in the following table.
January 2008 Resource Estimate
| Resource Classification |
Million Tonnes |
Fe (%) |

LOI (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 979 | 31.4 | 40.2 | 2.25 | 0.025 | 0.14 | 5.95 |
| Inferred | 577 | 30.8 | 41.0 | 2.22 | 0.025 | 0.13 | 7.38 |
| Total | 1,556 | 31.2 | 40.5 | 2.24 | 0.025 | 0.13 | 6.48 |
This resource upgrade (refer ASX release dated 30 January 2008 for full details) represents a significant 59% increase on the 977Mt resource announced in June 2007.
A further resource update will be completed in the June 2008 quarter and will include the outstanding 2007 drill data (23 RC holes, 9 diamond metallurgical holes and 7 diamond tails), as well as drill data from the March 2008 quarter.
Tenement Application ELA47/1493
In 2005, the Company made application for exploration tenement ELA47/1493, which lies to the south of, and is contiguous with, the main Project tenement E47/1462. Part of this application was a granted title held by others, which was recently extinguished. The extinguishment of the pre-existing title has enabled the Company to initiate the granting of ELA47/1493. This is expected to be completed late in the June 2008 quarter.
This tenement, which has an area of approximately 35km[2] , is strategically important as it will increase the Company’s contiguous coastal landholding to 408km[2] (refer Figure 1). Identified within this tenement is a 3km long untested, magnetic anomaly located on the eastern margin (refer Figure 2). This anomaly is thought to represent the southern strike extension of the Cape Lambert resource, which lies within the highly prospective Cleaverville geological formation.
Aeromagnetic Survey
Resource Potentials, an independent geophysical consultant, completed an interpretation of the helimag survey flown over the Project area and commenced work on a 3D model. Work will continue during the March 2008 quarter to complete the model. The model will provide a useful tool in optimising drill hole locations.

Program of Work
A statutory Program of Work to enable drill testing of the newly discovered magnetic anomalies on tenements E47/1233 and E47/1271 was approved by the Department of Industry and Resources. Drilling commenced late in the quarter (refer below).
RC Drilling
The RC drilling program continued during the quarter with 39 drill holes completed for a total advance of 11,810 metres. A total of 88 holes were completed in 2007 for a total advance of 31,013 metres. This compares with 69 holes being completed in 2006 for an advance of 18,052 metres.
The main focus of the drilling during the quarter was to extend the Central Target Area (“CTA”) (refer Figure 3) resource beyond its known limits towards the north and to infill complex areas for the January 2008 resource update.
Drilling within the Northern Extension Area (refer Figure 3) identified significant and previously unknown extensions to the mineralisation, both along strike and down-dip. This northern extension to the magnetite mineralisation has yet to be closed-off along strike or down-dip. Drilling in this area will continue during the March 2008 quarter.
Several drill holes were completed on the newly discovered magnetic anomalies within tenements E47/1233 and E47/1271. These holes intersected numerous thick intervals (>60m) of mineralised Banded Iron Formation. Assay results for these holes are expected to be received in February 2008. Further drill testing of these anomalies is planned for the March 2008 quarter.
Diamond Drilling
The diamond drill program (10,000 metres planned) continued during the quarter, with a total advance of 2,288 metres (8 holes). This comprised 7 HQ metallurgical holes and 1 NQ diamond tail. Total advance for 2007 was 4,756 metres (18 holes).
Significant DTR Results
During the quarter, DTR results were received for 51 RC holes, with significant results summarised in Table 1, which include:
-
MA320; 112m (from 84m) at an average DTR recovery of 28% mass to concentrate with a concentrate grade of 65% Fe and 6.7% silica;
-
MA415; 72m (from 80m) at an average DTR recovery of 34% mass to concentrate with a concentrate grade of 65% Fe and 3.7% silica;
-
MA423; 96m (from 120m) at an average DTR recovery of 26% mass to concentrate with a concentrate grade of 67% Fe and 3.5% silica;
-
MA424; 88m (from 96m) at an average DTR recovery of 27% mass to concentrate with a concentrate grade of 69% Fe and 3.7% silica; and
-
MA427; 104m (from 76m) at an average DTR recovery of 28% mass to concentrate with a concentrate grade of 69% Fe and 3.8% silica.
Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited December 2007Quarterly Report
31 January 2008 Page 4 of 12
The DTR results continue to show that the magnetite mineralisation at Cape Lambert is capable of being concentrated to a saleable product. Drill holes MA423, MA424 and MA427 are located within the Northern Extension Area on Section 15,100E (refer Figure 3). Figure 4 shows stylised Section 15,100E, where continuous broad zones of magnetite mineralisation occur. Importantly, the mineralisation remains open down-dip.
The Northern Extension Area continues to produce a higher Fe and lower silica concentrate, which is ideal for blending with the slightly lower Fe and higher silica concentrate produced from the central and southern portions of the CTA. This blending will enable a much greater utilisation of the total mineral resource during mining operations.
Metallurgical Flowsheet Development and Testwork
Metallurgical testwork on diamond drill core commenced at independent laboratory Amdel Pty Ltd. This included; bond impact crushing work index, JK drop-weight, unconfined compressive strength and SAG mill comminution test work.
Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Studies
Coffey Mining Pty Ltd continued geotechnical logging of diamond drill core.
Water level monitoring transducers were installed in 3 existing drill holes. This will enable the seasonal influences on the groundwater regime to be measured and the impact of the wet season to be monitored.
Native Title
Heritage clearances on planned drill hole locations were conducted during November and December. The clearances provided access to drilling areas at several locations, including the newly discovered magnetic anomalies.
Port
A meeting was held with the Department of Planning and Infrastructure in early January 2008, to discuss and progress the development of a port.
An agreement was reached during the quarter with another mining group to jointly investigate a shared port facility that would provide a number of synergies including reduced capital and operating costs.
Environmental Approvals
Environmental work to support an Environmental Impact Assessment submission continued, with the following progress made:
-
A report on the flora and vegetation survey undertaken by Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was received. This work will enable infrastructure to be sited to minimise the impact on any Priority Flora species identified within the Project area; and
-
A geochemical characterisation testwork program on potentially mineable material was developed by URS Australia Pty Ltd and will commence during the March 2008 quarter.
Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited December 2007Quarterly Report
31 January 2008 Page 5 of 12
First Half Work Program
Work during the first half of 2008 will focus on;
-
infill and extension RC and diamond drilling programs, with the objective of converting Inferred resource to Indicated within the Northern Extension Area;
-
drill testing the newly discovered magnetic anomalies;
-
progressing the June 2008 quarter mineral resource update;
-
mining studies on the Indicated component of the January 2008 mineral resource estimate to assess the potential mining inventory;
-
advancing the metallurgical testwork program on diamond core to demonstrate the suitability of the flowsheet; and
-
geochemical characterisation, geotechnical and hydrogeological studies.
CORPORATE
Global Iron Limited
Admission of Global Iron Limited (ASX: GFE) to the official List of the Australian Stock Exchange occurred on 16 October 2007. Official Quotation of securities commenced on 18 October 2007.
An “In-specie” issue of GFE shares was made to shareholders of the Company. The shares issued were held in escrow until 21 January 2008.
Exercise of Option to Acquire Adjacent Tenements (EL47/1233, EL47/1248, EL47/1271)
On 4 October 2007, the Company gave notice of the exercise of its option to acquire the above tenements. The acquisition was settled on 31 October 2007, increasing the Company’s landholding 70% from 218km[2] to 373km[2] .
The newly acquired tenements are adjacent to, and contiguous with, the eastern portion of tenement E47/1462 and are strategically important, given the recently identified magnetic anomalies located within them and their close proximity to the Project.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of the Company was held on 30 November 2007. All resolutions put to the meeting were passed, including the re-election of Mr Peter Landau and Mr Tim Turner to the Board of Directors.
