2The estimates of Exploration Target sizes should not be misunderstood as estimates of Mineral Resources. The estimates of Exploration Target sizes are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient results received from drilling to date to estimate a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code (2004). It is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Continuing to progress development plans for Marampa & assess all development alternatives that will result in the most efficient use of funds and the highest return
-
Detailed below are a number of alternative development scenarios for Marampa - the financial outcomes of each alternative are presented on the following page
| Scenario 1A | » 3 stage development (2.5Mtpa, 10Mtpa, 15Mtpa) » Assumes no mine gate sales to African Minerals Ltd (AML) |
|---|---|
| Scenario 1B | » 3 stage development (2.5Mtpa, 10Mtpa, 15Mtpa) » Assumes 2Mwtpa of mine gate sales to AML for 3 years as per the Infrastructure Agreement |
| Scenario 1C | » 3 stage development (2.5Mtpa, 10Mtpa, 15Mtpa) » Assumes no mine gate sales to AML » Investigates mining the base of the pit to the London Mining boundary |
| Scenario 2A | » 3 stage development (5Mtpa, 10Mtpa, 15Mtpa) » Assumes 3Mwtpa of mine gate sales to AML during stage 1. |
| Scenario 3A | » Single 5Mtpa development » Assumed all product railed on AML’s railway |
Considerations and assumptions
-
» 1A, 1B & 1C - Existing binding Agreement with African Minerals (AML) allows for transport of 2Mwtpa via Pepel rail and port and AML have an option to purchase 2Mwtpa at mine gate for first 3 years of operation.
-
» Scenario 2 and 3 require further agreement with AML to enable transport of 5Mtpa via Pepel rail and port.
-
» African Minerals has indicated a willingness to amend the current agreement upwards.
-
» Scenario 1C requires an agreement with London Mining to mine pit slopes within their boundary.
-
» Average FOB Concentrate Sale Price (65% Fe) of US$100/dmt (equivalent to Platts US$120/dmt) used.
-
» Average plant feed grade 27.3% Fe.
-
Scenario 3A presents the lowest capital expenditure and the highest IRR – but does require amendments to the agreement with AML.
-
Scenario 3A demonstrates a lower start up cost alternative with many potential growth options, such as pipeline construction for an additional 5 or 10Mtpa once the project is generating cash.

Mineral Resources
Exploration Target Size Statements
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.
