About Kogi Iron (ASX: KFE)

Kogi Iron Limited is a Perth-based company with the objective of becoming an African iron ore producer through the development of its 100% owned Agbaja iron ore project located in Kogi State, Republic of Nigeria, West Africa (“Agbaja” or “Agbaja Project”). The Company is conducting a Scoping Study on a potential iron ore operation at the Agbaja Plateau initially utilizing barging transport of its iron ore product along the Niger River to Warri Port and world export markets. The Company will continue to advance access and usage agreements for an existing under-utilised heavy haulage railway that runs from near the Agbaja Project to Port Warri. This existing railway remains an important part of a longer term transport solution for an expanded production profile.

In recent years Nigeria has sought to diversify its economy, which is dominated by hydrocarbons, into minerals and related industries. Nigeria is the largest country by population in Africa with a GDP growth rate of 7.2% in 2013. The country has very transparent and consistent mining regulations and very favourable fiscal terms for foreign investment in mining.

The Company holds a land position of approximately 400km[2 ] covering 15 tenements, with the main focus being EL12124 which covers a large part of the Agbaja Plateau. The Agbaja Plateau hosts an extensive, shallow, flat-lying channel iron deposit with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 488 million tonnes with an in-situ iron grade of 42.7% reported in accordance with the 2004 JORC Code. This mineral resource covers approximately 20% of the prospective plateau area within EL12124.

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 Agbaja Project’s economic viability and cautions investors against using those statements as a basis for investment decisions relating to securities in the Company.
