Note 1 -Scoping Study

Investors are advised that the purpose of the Scoping Study is to assess the potential viability of the development of a mining and processing operation at the Company’s Agbaja Project against a set of key commercial parameters. Neither the commencement of the Scoping Study, nor the results of such Scoping Study, will establish the economic viability or definite value of the Agbaja Project. While it is proposed that the Scoping Study will be based on the Company’s existing and previously announced Inferred Mineral Resource estimates, these estimates and the commencement of a Scoping Study are not in themselves sufficient enough to define the economic viability of the Agbaja Project. This is because under the JORC Code, these Inferred Mineral Resource estimates are not sufficient to permit the application of the type of technical and economic parameters required to imply economic viability.

Investors should note that for the Company to establish economic viability of its Agbaja Project, the Company will need to establish sufficient Indicated Mineral Resources and further consider mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and government factors. As a result, some of the economic assumptions that may be used in the Scoping Study may never be realised. Statements implying economic viability require a reasonable basis, otherwise they are taken to be misleading to shareholders. Given that the Company is concerned that investors may attribute the commencement of the Scoping Study as proving the Agbara Project’s economic viability and cautions investors against using those statements as a basis for investment decisions relating to securities in the Company.

Note 2 - Exploration Targets

The information about Exploration Targets mentioned in this presentation is extracted from the ASX Announcement titled “Kogi Establishes Significant New Exploration Target”, dated 16 September 2013 and is available to view on the Company web site (www.kogiiron.com). The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement. The company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented in this announcement have not been materially modified from the original announcement.
