SPEEWAH BACKGROUND

Speewah Metals Limited (ASX: SPM) is a mining and exploration company whose prime focus is the development of its titanium, vanadium and hematite project in the East Kimberly region of Western Australia .

The tenements contain Australia’s largest titanium/ vanadium in magnetite deposit with combined Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources totaling 3,566 Mt at 0.30% V2O5 and 2.0% Ti (at 0.23% V2O5 cut-off grade) in three deposits, comprising a Measured Resource of 201 Mt at 0.33% V2O5, Indicated Resource of 826 Mt at 0.30% V2O5 and an Inferred Resource of 2,539 Mt at 0.3% V2O5.

Once a magnetite concentrate is created the upgraded concentrate assays at 54% Fe, 2.48% V2O5 and 14.8% TiO2.

The 2012 strategy includes:

  1. Significant increase, in early 2012, of Australia’s and one of the world's largest vanadium / titanium in magnetite resource, through drilling an exploration target[1] of an additional 2-5 Billion tonnes @ 0.3-0.32% V205 and 1.82.0% Ti ;

2. Metallurgical test programme to investigate recovery of Titanium, Vanadium and Hematite as separate high grade end products to be completed January 2012;

  1. Pilot plant processing test facility in early 2012 to demonstrate titanium/vanadium/hematite flowsheet and produce marketing sample to attract off-take and investment/strategic partners;

  2. Delivery of the following development approval requirements :

    • a. Achieving Reserve status on Titanium/Vanadium in magnetite Resource;

    • b. Financial modeling and valuation of Titanium/Vanadium/Hematite project;

    • c. Mining Lease;

    • d. Mining Agreement with landholders;

    • e. Environmental Assessment;

  3. Completion of definitive feasibility studies on Titanium/Vanadium/Hematite project.

The tenements also contain a high-grade, high-quality fluorite deposit with Indicated and Inferred Resources totaling 6.7 Mt at 24.6% (at 10% CaF2 cut-off grade), comprising an Indicated Resource of 4.1 Mt at 25.3% CaF2 and an Inferred Resource of 2.6 Mt at 23.6% CaF2.

Speewah Metals Limited has a 100% interest in three granted Mining Leases (M80/267, M80/268 and M80/269) and three granted exploration licenses (E80/2863, E80/3657 and E80/4468), covering 575 km[2] located about 110 km southwest of Kununurra.

  1. Exploration Target is not a mineral resource and further drilling is required which may not define these tonnes & grade. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.
