About Kogi Iron (ASX: KFE)

Kogi Iron Limited is a Perth-based company with the objective of becoming a producer of cast steel product that can be sold to manufacturers of steel products through the development of its 100% owned Agbaja Cast 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.
