JORC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT – Iron Hill Exploration Target, Extension Hill South Project

The Iron Hill Prospect at the Extension Hill South Project has an Exploration Target of 5 - 7 million tonnes grading 58-61% Fe (refer ASX release 13 February 2014 for full details). The potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in a Mineral Resource. The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets and Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Gregory Hudson, who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Gregory Hudson is an employee of Mount Gibson Iron Limited group, and has sufficient experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the December 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Gregory Hudson has consented to the inclusion of the matters in this report based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
