Agbaja Iron Ore Project

Exploration Activities

  • Granted licence area on the Agbaja Plateau, Nigeria - West Africa

  • Strong aeromagnetic survey

  • Ore body appears to extend over the whole plateau

  • Ease of access

  • Low population density / non-transient

  • Open grassland with scattered forest cover

  • Prospective iron ore leases: 1-2 billion tonne exploration target size*, initially targeting 500Mt from 10% of the lease area.

  • Targeting maiden JORC resource in Q3 CY2012

  • Regional exploration programs to identify new iron ore targets / complete preliminary assessment of the oolitic mineralisation

  • Good correlation with other oolitic iron ore projects located in China, Kazakhstan and Australia

  • The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature at this stage as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource under the JORC code. Further, it is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

www.energio.net.au | ASX: EIO

==> picture [178 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Current Exploration Program

  • Current program fully funded

  • Initial target area ~14km[2]

  • 760 holes for 20,000m; 550 holes completed

  • Program to be completed July 2012 (subject to favourable weather conditions)

  • Results encouraging – suggest homogeneous iron mineralisation: Approximately 5-10m overburden overlying ~20-30m iron bearing sandstone material

  • Initial analysis results confirm higher than expected Fe ranging to 55%+ (P 0.7-1%+, Al O 2 3 9-12%, SiO2 4-9%, LOI 10-12%)

  • Diamond hole program completed

  • Step out RC drill to commence in Q3, 2012 (~60 holes)
