CORPORATE
Strategy and Business Model
Cape Lambert Resources Limited (“ Cape Lambert ” or the “ Company ”) ( ASX: CFE ) is an Australian domiciled, cashed up resources and investment company, with interests in a number of resource projects and companies.
Through acquisitions including the acquisition of CopperCo Limited’s assets, and subscriptions to convertible notes, the Company has exposure to iron ore, copper, gold, uranium, phosphate and vanadium assets in Australia, Greece, Africa and South America (refer Figure 1).
The Company’s strategy is to acquire and invest in undervalued and/or distressed mineral assets and companies (“ Assets ”), and to add value to those Assets through a hands on approach to management, exploration and evaluation to enable the Assets to be converted into cash at a multiple, and to retain exposure to the Assets through a production royalty and/or equity interest. As Assets are converted into cash, the Company intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to shareholders.
Asset Divestments
Sale of 25% interest in Lady Loretta Project
On 31 March 2011, the Company completed the sale of its 25% interest in the Lady Loretta Project located in northwest Queensland to Noranda Pacific Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xstrata plc, for $30 million cash.
Equity Investments and Divestments
Pinnacle Group Assets Limited
Cape Lambert is the Manager of Pinnacle Group Assets Limited (“ Pinnacle ”) and funds its working capital. The working capital funding is provided through a mezzanine debt structure, which at Cape Lambert’s election can either be repaid or converted into equity.
Pinnacle’s principal assets are two early stage iron ore projects located in the Republic of Guinea and Sierra Leone, West Africa.
During the quarter, the Company increased its equity interest in Pinnacle from 37.2% to 46.11% through the purchase of 12 million shares for $13 million.
Speewah Metals Limited
During the quarter, the Company sold its remaining shareholding in Speewah Metals Limited (previously Niplats Australia Limited) realising $2.7 million.
Monitor Energy Limited
On 22 February 2011, the Company acquired 250,000,000 shares in Monitor Energy Limited (“ Monitor ”) ( ASX: MHL ) for $500,000 increasing its stake in Monitor from approximately 9% to 15.2%.

Convertible Notes and Other Loan Facilities
Repayments
During the quarter, CopperCo Limited (Receivers and Managers Appointed) repaid the final instalment of $1.5 million in respect of a funding facility, which had been provided by the Company in February 2009.
Subscriptions
During the quarter, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dempsey Resources Pty Ltd, subscribed for a $2 million convertible note in Cauldron Energy Limited ( ASX: CXU ). The note bears interest at 10% per annum and may be converted into equity at any time prior to the repayment date of 16 March 2012.
Chameleon Mining
Cape Lambert entered into a strategic alliance with Chameleon Mining NL (“ Chameleon ”) ( ASX: CHM ) in August 2010. As part of the alliance, Cape Lambert is entitled to a share of any judgement sum received by Chameleon arising out of, or in connection with, the Federal Court proceedings relating to Murchison Metals Ltd and the ownership of the producing Jack Hills iron ore project.
On 15 March 2011, Chameleon announced that the New South Wales Supreme Court of Appeal had delivered a landmark decision, which upheld Chameleon’s appeal against International Partners Pte Ltd (“ IPL ”) and confirmed Chameleon’s claim that IPL required an Australian Financial Services Licence to fund Chameleon’s litigation and therefore Chameleon was entitled to rescind its agreement with IPL and was not obligated to pay IPL an early termination fee (of approximately $9 million).
The Company had previously provided a loan facility of $6.5 million to Chameleon, which may be drawn down should the funds be needed to pay IPL. The advance has been repaid to the Company as a consequence of the outcome of Chameleon’s appeal against IPL.
MCC Legal Action
On 8 September 2010, Cape Lambert announced that it had commenced legal action against MCC Australia Sanjin Mining Pty Ltd, and its parent company, Metallurgical Corporation of China Limited (collectively “ MCC ”) to recover the final $80 million payment from the sale of the Cape Lambert magnetite iron ore project in mid-2008. Cape Lambert received payments totalling $320 million in 2008, with the final payment due on the grant of mining approvals, or if MCC has not used its reasonable endeavours to procure the mining approvals, within two years. A writ was lodged with the Supreme Court on 7 September 2010, with a Status Conference hearing held on 8 October 2010 and a Chamber Summons heard on 23 November 2010. The Company is waiting on a decision by the Supreme Court regarding the jurisdiction of where the dispute will be determined and the requirement of MCC to pay $80 million into a trust account pending the resolution of the action. Whilst the proceedings are still continuing, Cape Lambert remains confident that it will be successful in establishing that the final payment is due and payable by MCC.
Capital Management
On Market Buy-Back
During the quarter, Cape Lambert completed an on market share buy-back of 54,059,653 shares for $31.9 million, of which $25.7 million was paid in the current quarter.

ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 31 March 2011
Sale of Unmarketable Parcels of Shares
During the previous quarter, Cape Lambert established a sale facility for unmarketable parcels of shares. The Company completed the sale process in January 2011 and 178,836 shares were sold on market on behalf of the shareholders with unmarketable parcels.
PROJECTS
Marampa Iron Ore Project (100%) (“Marampa”)
Marampa is a brownfields hematite iron ore project at feasibility assessment stage and is located 90km north east of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa (refer Figure 2). Marampa comprises a granted exploration licence (EXPL09/06 “ Lunsar ”, 305km[2] ) held by Marampa Iron Ore Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert.
Seven prospects hosting hematite schist mineralisation have been identified within the Marampa licence (refer Figure 3). As at 31 March 2011, a total of 36,637 metres of diamond and reverse circulation (“ RC ”) drilling has been completed at Marampa comprising resource definition drilling at Matukia, Gafal West, Mafuri and Rotret, and initial drilling at the Petifu prospect.
Scoping Study
During the quarter, the Company completed the Marampa scoping study (“ Scoping Study ”). The Scoping Study examined a standalone, open pit mining development at Marampa producing 5Mtpa of hematite concentrate.
The Scoping Study base case concluded that on an un-geared (100% equity), pre-tax basis, an open pit mining and beneficiation operation producing 5Mtpa of high-grade hematite concentrate, with an initial capital investment estimated at US$655 million could deliver:
-
NPV8% of pre-tax, free cash flow = US$1.37 million; and
-
Project pre-tax NPV8% = US$715 million.
Full Scoping Study assumptions and conclusions are set out in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 18 March 2011.
Drilling
The first phase of resource definition drilling at the Rotret and Mafuri prospects is scheduled to be completed in April 2011. A total of 2,641 metres of diamond drilling and 9,120 metres of RC drilling in 83 holes were completed during the quarter at both prospects. Extensive hematite schist mineralisation has been discovered, with particularly thick, high-grade oxide mineralisation at Rotret.
IP Survey
An Induced Polarisation (“ IP ”) survey was completed over the Toma prospect, south of the Rokel River (refer Figure 3), where an isolated outcrop of hematite schist has been mapped. The survey consisted of five survey traverses lines totalling 10 line kilometres. The data from the survey is currently being interpreted by independent geophysics consultant, Core Geophysics of Perth, Australia.

ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 31 March 2011
Resource Estimate
Independent geological consultants, Golder Associates of Perth, Australia commenced an update of the Marampa resource estimate for the Matukia and Gafal West deposits, and maiden resource estimates for the Rotret and Mafuri prospects. The updated Marampa resource estimate is planned to be released to the market in the June 2011 quarter.
Rail and Port Infrastructure
Marampa is connected to the stockpiling and ship loading facility at Pepel Port via the 84km Marampa railway (“ Marampa Infrastructure ”). African Minerals Limited (“ African Minerals ”) has a 99 year lease for the operation of, and is currently refurbishing, the Marampa Infrastructure.
African Minerals has granted the Company access to the Marampa Infrastructure to export 5Mtpa of iron ore, under the following terms (refer ASX Announcement dated 31 January 2011):
-
African Minerals will provide third party access rights on commercial terms to transport up to 2Mtpa of iron ore production from the Company’s Marampa mine on the Marampa Infrastructure; and
-
Cape Lambert will have an option to increase this transport capacity to 5Mtpa once African Minerals’ new Tagrin Infrastructure Facilities are in full operation.
Metallurgy
Metallurgical testwork to optimise the process flowsheet, which utilises staged size reduction in combination with wet, high intensity magnetic separators (“ WHIMS ”), continues. The Company is targeting a flowsheet that will consistently yield concentrates >65% Fe, with iron recoveries of >85% and mass recoveries of >40% from all ore type variations encountered at Marampa.
A range of comminution tests undertaken to date has demonstrated that the fresh ore will require significantly less power to grind versus that assumed in the Scoping Study. The data from this work is currently being modelled to generate several crushing and grinding circuit options. The total energy required to mill the fresh ore is expected to be as much as half that assumed in the Scoping Study, which is expected to significantly reduce the overall capital and operating costs.
Wet scrubbing tests on near surface oxide ore types has confirmed that this material breaks down, close to the optimal liberation size without the need for any grinding. Preliminary tests on this scrubbed ore have shown that a lower cost, simplified WHIMS circuit is potentially feasible, whilst still achieving or exceeding targeted concentrate grades, and iron and mass recoveries.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
Field surveys to support the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ ESIA ”) were conducted during the quarter, which included:
-
SRK Consulting (“ SRK ”) completing a round of soil geochemistry, noise, air quality and social consultation surveys, and a detailed social survey of the Marampa area;
-
Ecorex Consulting Ecologists completing a second round of flora and fauna surveys; and
-
Nexus Heritage completing a cultural heritage survey of the project area.
It is planned to submit the ESIA to the authorities for approval in the September 2011 quarter.

Other Project Studies
Bateman Engineering Pty Ltd (“ Bateman ”) was re-engaged to commence and manage further technical and engineering studies. To assist with these studies, Coffey Mining Ltd was engaged to investigate in detail the proposed tailings storage facility, as well as complete geotechnical and hydrogeological studies. Scott Wilson was engaged to investigate the rail head and rolling stock requirements.
As part of its studies, Bateman is also investigating the opportunity for the early start-up of production from processing near surface oxide material, as well as increasing Marampa’s scale from 5Mtpa to 10Mtpa of concentrate production.
Pinnacle Group Assets Limited (46.1% interest and Manager) (“Pinnacle”)
Cape Lambert is the Manager of Pinnacle and funds its working capital. The working capital funding is provided through a mezzanine debt structure, which at Cape Lambert’s election can either be repaid or converted into equity.
Pinnacle’s principal assets are two early stage iron ore projects located in the Republic of Guinea and Sierra Leone, West Africa (refer Figure 2).
Kukuna Iron Ore Project – Sierra Leone
The Kukuna Iron Ore Project is located 120km northeast of Freetown in the northwest of Sierra Leone and comprises one exploration licence covering 68km[2 ] (“ Kukuna Project ”) (refer Figure 2). The licence is located 70km due north of the Marampa Infrastructure.
The Kukuna licence straddles the eastern boundary of the Neoproterozoic Rokel-Kasila Belt and contains rocks correlated with the Marampa Group, which host the specular hematite schist iron mineralisation at Marampa.
An IP survey covering the entire extent of mapped hematite schist mineralisation on the Kukuna tenement was completed during the quarter, with the aim of identifying consistent, large zones of mineralisation as potential drill targets. The survey consisted of 26 survey traverses lines totalling 71.2 line kilometres. The data from the survey is being interpreted by independent geophysics consultant, Core Geophysics of Perth Australia, with a final report expected early in the June 2011 quarter. The initial results of the IP survey are highly encouraging.
Sandenia Iron Ore Project – Guinea
The Sandenia Iron Ore Project is located 290km east northeast of Conakry in the central south of the Republic of Guinea and comprises two exploration permits covering 608km[2] (“ Sandenia Project ”) (refer Figure 2).
SRK delivered its final report on the geological mapping completed in December 2010. Seven exploration targets over an aggregate strike length of >20km containing weathered and fresh magnetite Banded Iron Formation have been identified. Regional mapping and sampling has also confirmed in-situ iron grades of up to 48.5% (refer to ASX Announcement dated 11 April 2011). SRK confirmed that the mineralisation is hosted by the same rocks as those of the 3.7Bt Kalia deposit owned by Bellzone Mining plc located on the adjacent tenement to the north. Initial drilling at Sandenia is planned for the September 2011 quarter.

Sierra Leone – Regional Exploration
Metal Exploration (Mauritius) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert, holds a land package of granted licences and applications in Sierra Leone covering more than 2,800 km[2] in the region to the north and south of Marampa, which are prospective for the discovery of new iron ore deposits similar to Marampa (refer Figure 2).
An IP survey was completed over the Kumrabai prospect on the Marampa East tenement (refer Figure 3), with the aim of identifying thick and consistent hematite schist mineralised zones as potential drill targets. The survey consisted of 11 survey traverse lines totalling 21.8 line kilometres. The data from the survey is being interpreted by independent geophysics consultant, Core Geophysics of Perth, Australia with a final report expected early in the June 2011 quarter.
Processing of the 17 applications for Exploration Licences submitted in the December 2010 quarter covering the areas of the granted Reconnaissance Licences (917km[2] ) and applications (1,942km[2] ) continues. A granted exploration licence is required for the purpose of trenching and drilling works.
Sappes Gold Project (100%) (“Sappes”)
Sappes is a gold development project located in north eastern Greece approximately 30km northwest of the Aegean Sea port city of Alexandropoulos, on a 20.1km[2] mining lease granted until 2023 (refer Figure 4). The Company’s strategy is to progress the permitting of Sappes, to enable its sale with a significant portion of the pre-permitting discount removed.
Sappes’ development is based around the high-grade, underground Viper deposit and an open pit nearby at the St Demetrios deposit.
A Greek based General Manager was appointed during the quarter. The Company has re-opened its local office in the town of Sappes, and has commenced a socialisation program in respect of project development with the local community and authorities.
Processing of the Preliminary Environmental Impact Study at the Ministry of Environment continues.
Australis Exploration Limited (100% interest) (“Australis”)
Australis holds a portfolio of mineral rights, tenements and subsidiaries (refer Figure 5), which presently comprises:
-
The exclusive rights to explore for and retain any value associated with rock phosphate on the tenements held by CST Minerals Lady Annie Pty Ltd (“ CSTLA ”) (“ Lady Annie Phosphate Rights ”);
-
11 granted Exploration Licences totalling 14,600km[2] in the eastern Northern Territory (one application granted 25[th] February 2011);
-
14 applications for Exploration Permits totalling 6,990km[2] in north west Queensland; and
-
100% of Mojo Mining Pty Ltd, which holds 15 granted Exploration Permits totalling 3,609km[2] , located 150km south of Mt Isa.
The CSTLA tenements cover part of the Lady Annie, Lady Jane and Galah Creek phosphate deposits. These deposits were discovered during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s and are hosted in the Cambrian Beetle Creek Formation, which is part of the Georgina Basin. The Lady Annie and Lady Jane deposits are located in an outlier 10km east of the present margin of the Georgina Basin. The East Galah Creek deposit lies adjacent to the D-Tree deposit, presently being explored by Legend International Holdings Inc.
Cape Lambert Resources Limited March 2011 Quarterly Report
Page 8 of 14
ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 31 March 2011
Current work on the Lady Annie Phosphate Rights is focused on compiling and evaluating available historical and recent exploration information. An attempt to access the ground to commence reconnaissance was unsuccessful due to excessive rain.
Five grassroots rock phosphate targets have been identified on the granted Northern Territory licences. These lie along the northern margin of the Georgina Basin and on a basement high, <50km from the Wonarah rock phosphate project being developed by Minemakers Limited.
Leichhardt Copper Project (100%) (“Leichhardt”)
Leichhardt, which is currently on care and maintenance, is located approximately 100km northeast of Mt Isa in the highly prospective Mt Isa Inlier (refer Figure 5) and comprises:
-
The Leichhardt process plant at Mt Cuthbert – a heap leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning facility with installed capacity of 9,000 tpa of copper cathode;
-
A package of 43 granted tenements of approximately 850km[2 ] located within the highly prospective Mt Isa Inlier;
-
A further 11 Exploration Permit applications for an additional 500km[2] , also located within the Mt Isa Inlier;
-
The established Mt Watson oxide, open pit located approximately 30km north of the Leichhardt process plant; and
-
Mineral resources at Leichhardt, Mighty Atom Group, Hidden Treasure, Ned Kelly and Mt Cuthbert, together with advanced exploration prospects at Mt Earl and Prospector.
The Company continued its systematic evaluation of the exploration dataset, with the objective of identifying drill targets and commencing drill programs to define additional oxide copper inventory.
Drilling of the heap leach pads finished late in the quarter, with 261 sonic holes completed for a total 2,736m. The drilling program was designed to determine the remaining recoverable copper inventory within the leach pads. At the time Matrix Metals Ltd (Receivers and Managers appointed) (previous owners) went into administration in November 2008, it was estimated that some 1,900 tonnes of copper remained within the leach pads.
Metallurgical diamond drilling under the Mt Watson West Pit commenced during April 2011. This drilling is aimed at providing sufficient material to conduct column leach test work on the transitional material to determine its suitability to be processed through the heap leach/solvent extraction process at Leichhardt, which will allow an update in the resource classification and the determination of an ore reserve from this transitional material.
