CORPORATE

Strategy and Business Model

Cape Lambert Resources Limited ( ASX: CFE ) ( Cape Lambert or the Company ) is an Australian domiciled, fully funded, mineral development company. Cape Lambert has interests in several exploration and mining companies, providing exposure to iron ore, copper, gold, uranium, cobalt, lithium and lead-silver-zinc assets in Australia, Europe, Africa and South America (refer Figure 1).

  • improve the value of these Projects, through a hands on approach to management, exploration, evaluation and development; and

  • retain long-term exposure to these Projects through a production royalty and/or equity interest.

Cape Lambert aims to deliver Shareholder value by adding value to these undeveloped Projects. If Projects are converted into cash, the Company intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to Shareholders.

Marampa comprises one granted mining licence (ML05/2014) comprising 79.40km[2] and one granted exploration licence EL46A/2011 – 159.78 km[2] held by Marampa Iron Ore (SL) Limited, which is indirectly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert.

The Marampa Project remains under care and maintenance.

Dempsey Resources (100% interest)

Cape Lambert Resources Limited June 2017 Quarterly Report

Page 6 of 13

ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ended 30 June 2017

September

The Project is located 120 km northeast of Freetown in the northwest of Sierra Leone and consists of one exploration licence (EL22/2012) covering 68km[2] (refer Figure 2). The licence is located 70km due north of the Marampa Project and the Pepel Infrastructure and comprises rocks that correlate with the Marampa Group stratigraphy known to host specular hematite mineralisation.

The Kukuna Project remains under care and maintenance.

- Kipushi and Kasombo Copper Cobalt Projects (JV with Paragon Mining SARL)

The Kipushi Cobalt Copper Tailings Project consists of a tailings dam located on PE 12347 and the Kipushi Processing Plant located adjacent mining licence PE481 ( Kipushi Project ), while Kasombo Copper-Cobalt Project consists of 3 mineralised areas of approximately 600Ha (Kasombo 5, 6 and 7) located within mining licences PE 481 and PE4886), refer Figure 2. Both projects are located approximately 25km from Lubumbashi, the second largest city in the Democratic Republic of Congo ( DRC . The Company has a 50/50 joint venture agreement with Paragon Mining SARL ( Paragon ) to develop the projects (refer to ASX announcement dated 3 May 2017 for details of the joint venture arrangement).

Kipushi Project

The Company has previously reported that it was undertaking metallurgical testwork on the Kipushi tailings at the laboratory of Mintek in South Africa. This test work programme is primarily aimed at a) characterisation of the tailings material by mineralogical and chemical analyses b) production of a bulk copper/cobalt flotation concentrate grading initially 10-12% copper and greater than 2% cobalt; and c) preliminary scoping work on leaching and gravity concentration as potential alternative or supplemental processing routes.

Insufficient sample was available to complete the optimisation of the Mintek flotation test work, so further sample was collected from the Kipushi tailings dam late in the quarter and despatched to Mintek.

Gravity concentration testwork undertaken by Mintek on the unmilled tailings confirmed that there would not be any financial benefit in installing an upfront gravity plant to produce concentrate.

The Company has also despatched part of the samples collected late in the quarter to Axis House in Cape Town, South Africa. Axis House is a major supplier and distributor of chemicals to the mining industry have fully equipped laboratories, with milling, flotation, sedimentation, leaching and analytical equipment, that enables it to accurately benchmark alternate reagent suites against each other to optimise process recoveries. Axis House had previously conducted testing on the Kipushi tailings and had achieved the bulk concentrate grades noted above. The testwork at Axis House has commenced and the results are awaited.

Kasombo Project

The DRC office of geoligical consultants SRK were commissioned to assist with undertaking the preliminary exploration work at the Kasombo Project, which includes a desktop study on the available information from La Generale Des Carrieres Et Des Mines S.A. ( Gecamines ), the holder of the mining licences, as well as undertaking detailed mapping of the Kasombo 5, 6 and 7 area. This work will commence late July 2017.

The fees for transferring the Licences were paid during the quarter with the paperwork now with the Minister of Mines for sign off.

Mining International Pty Ltd (100% Interest)

Mining International Pty Ltd ( Mining International ), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert. The Company holds tenure to 4 mining leases (which were excluded from the sale of the Leichhardt Copper Project) and 4 granted exploration permits for minerals (EPM’s) at the Wee MacGregor Project located 40 km southeast of Mt Isa in Queensland (refer Figure 4).

The tenements are located within in the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mt Isa inlier. The easternmost tenements are located in the Mary Kathleen Zone/Wonga Subprovince. The western group of tenements are located in the Kalkadoon Leichhardt Belt. These areas are prospective for a variety of deposit types, most notably structurally controlled epigenetic copper and gold deposits.
