ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 8 February, 2011

MIDWINTER RECIEVES FURTHER POSITIVE DRILL INTERCEPTS FROM THE

NORTHERN LIGHTS IRON PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Best intercepts

  • 18m @ 33.61% Fe from 39m

  • 23m @ 32.76% Fe from 22m

    • Klip One

    • Haa Two

  • 23m @ 38.38% Fe from 85m Haa Two

  • Drilling at 4 prospects have encountered substantial mineralised intervals of magnetite mineralisation

  • Mineralization remains open at depth and requires further drill testing along strike

  • Drilling assays confirms BIF mineralization exhibits very low impurity levels

  • DTR testwork commenced

Midwinter Resources NL (ASX: MWN) is pleased to announce that is has received the remainder of the assays results from its maiden drill program from the Northern Lights Project (Republic of South Africa).

The reconnaissance drill program comprised a total of 38 RC holes for 3,605m drilled to an average depth of 95m. The aim of the program was to complete a first pass drill test of a number of significant magnetic anomalies over an area of 80km[2] on granted tenements. The drill testing phase of the exploration program has been successful in locating the magnetic source of the anomalies originally identified from a helicopter based magnetic survey.

Mapping and previous rock chip sampling indicated the source of the magnetite anomalies was recrystallised Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and this drill program has now confirmed continuous magnetite bearing BIFs from surface to depths of up to 100m. To date the depth extent is limited by drill penetration and the prospects remain open (Figure 1). Further drilling will be required to determine potential strike extensions. The assay results also confirm the magnetite rich BIF is very low in deleterious elements such as sulphur and phosphorous (Table 1).

Northern Lights hosts over 28km of broad magnetic signatures generated by detailed aerial magnetic survey. The largest continuous anomaly is approximately 10km long in size and remains untested (tenement pending grant).

A phase of Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) testwork has been implemented to evaluate the physical properties of the oxide and primary mineralisation to determine the suitability of the ore to produce magnetite concentrate. These tests include examination of grind sizing, recoveries and concentrate grades of the Northern Lights magnetite samples. The mineralization exhibits very low impurity levels and the DTR testwork will aim to confirm the recrystallised BIF is capable of producing a commercially saleable high quality magnetite concentrate.

Current exploration activities include; review of the initial drill results, compilation of the project geology and generation of further drill targets. On ground activities will re‐commence once the seasonal west season concludes at the end of March.

About Midwinter

Midwinter is focused on advancing the Northern Lights Iron Ore Project in the Republic of South Africa. With over 28km of broad magnetic signatures with widths exceeding 1.5km generated by detailed aerial magnetic survey. The largest continuous anomaly is approximately 10 x 1.5km in size .

Assays from drilling and surficial iron formation within aerial anomalies range from 23% to 41% Fe . Mineralization is coarse‐grained and amenable to low cost concentration processes . The mineralization exhibits very low impurity levels and should be capable of producing very high quality concentrates.
