Anticipated Sale Timeline

==> picture [227 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [615 x 367] intentionally omitted <==

Near Term Plan

==> picture [227 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

  • Assist MCC successfully complete due diligence – several MCC officers currently reviewing information,

  • Prepare and sign sale documentation, and attend to required approvals,

  • Advance the grant of new tenement ELA 47/1493 to enable drill testing of the 3km magnetic anomaly,

  • Step-up the identification and review of new business opportunities that compliment the Company’s skills and strengths in mining and iron ore – dedicated personnel now in place,

  • Scale back Cape Lambert project development activities to minimise non value adding expenditure.

Medium Term Plan

==> picture [227 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

  • Pursue new business opportunities that fit the Company’s strengths and skill set, where the potential to value add can be demonstrated,

  • Drill test the 3km magnetic anomaly within the retained tenement – to define an inferred resource,

  • Enhance the Board, as necessary, with additional skill sets suited to the Company’s new positioning,

  • Post sale completion, review the Company’s capital requirements,

  • Retain AIM listing for access to offshore capital markets.

Summary

==> picture [227 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

  • Board is committed to, and primarily focused on, the successful completion of the sale to MCC,

  • � Repositioning underway to pursue new business opportunities that fit the Company’s strengths and skill set, where the potential to value add can be demonstrated,

  • Post sale completion, significant cash reserves available in a time of uncertain capital markets, where access to capital is likely to be limited.
