  • Specular hematite, operated from 1933-1977.

  • Access to existing 84km heavy haulage railway (~3km from main deposits) to Pepel port on Atlantic coast provides significant time and cost savings.

  • JORC resource of 680Mt at 28.2% Fe, which supports 10Mtpa of hematite concentrate production for >20 years.

  • Large land position (309km[2] ):

  • sufficient for mine development ,

  • prospective for defining additional resources.

  • High quality hematite concentrate .

  • Scoping study for 5Mtpa, standalone open pit mining development complete:

  • Simple WHIMS technology,

  • Coarse primary grind size (P80 440 micrometers) significantly reduces power costs

  • High mass yield and iron recoveries, and low in deleterious elements

Target sizes quoted in this presentation are conceptual in nature and in respect of the target sizes quoted, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Target sizes referred to in this presentation refer to potential tonnages of iron ore mineralisation that have been estimated using available exploration information including historic and contemporary geological mapping, geochemical sampling of outcrops, pits and trenches, wide spaced diamond drill holes and modelling of ground and airborne geophysical survey data.

Production and Cost Information

Sappes Gold Project – Production rates, capital and operating costs quoted in this presentation in respect of Sappes are based on previous announcements made to ASX Limited by CopperCo Limited, specifically ASX release dated 30 June 2008 “ Prospectus to acquire all the issued shares in Mineral Securities Limited ”.
