CEO APPOINTMENT

Kogi Iron Limited (ASX: KFE, “Kogi”, “the Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Martin Wood as the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Mr Wood has been a Non-Executive Director of Kogi since his appointment in October 2017. The terms of his appointment are provided in Appendix 1.

Mr Wood is the founder and Managing Director of Vicarage Capital Limited, a London based full service brokerage house focused on the resources sector and is a specialist in debt and equity arranging as well as IPO advice. Prior to his current role he worked at Standard Bank London Limited in deal origination and execution and at N.M. Rothschild & Sons Limited in the structured banking division.

He has extensive experience in raising pre-production equity finance and debt based project finance internationally, and has worked extensively in project finance for both UK and African banks. Most of these projects were in African jurisdictions, so he has the experience required to bring African based projects to fruition and the skill set needed to operate in African jurisdictions.

Kogi Chairman Ian Burston said the appointment of Mr Wood as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer was another important step in the advancement of the Agbaja project.

“The appointment of Martin gives the Company the management resources needed to oversee the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study on a timely basis and to arrange suitable funding as and when required”.

Martin along with Executive Director Kevin Joseph, will be attending the West Africa Trade and Export Finance Conference in Lagos, Nigeria where Gabriel Buck, who is leading the Export Credit Agency funding strategy for Kogi, will be giving a presentation on the Agbaja Project.

About Kogi Iron (ASX: KFE)

Kogi Iron Limited is a Perth-based company with the objective of becoming an African iron ore and steel producer through the development of its 100% owned Agbaja iron ore and steel project located in Kogi State, Republic of Nigeria, West Africa (“Agbaja” or “Agbaja Project”).

Nigeria has substantial domestic demand for steel products, which is currently met largely through imports. The Agbaja project, located on the Agbaja plateau approximately 15km northwest of Lokoja city in Kogi State and approximately 200km southwest of Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, opens the opportunity for domestic production of steel billets.

The Company holds a land position which covers a large part of the Agbaja Plateau. The Agbaja Plateau hosts an extensive, shallow, flat-lying channel iron deposit with an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 586 million tonnes with an in-situ iron grade of 41.3% reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). This mineral resource covers approximately 20% of the prospective plateau area within ML24606 and ML24607.
