IRON EXPLORATION UPDATE

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

1 December 2011

FURTHER RESOURCE DEFINITION DRILLING INCREASES MT FORREST IRON PROJECT: SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL DIRECT SHIPPING MATERIAL LOCATED

ASX Code: MDX ABN: 28 106 866 442

Corporate Description

Mindax's Mt Forrest Iron Project is progressing through feasibility with a view to mining at the end of 2013.

The company is carefully putting in place necessary approvals and aligning infrastructure partners including rail and port.

Coupled with its significant iron assets, Mindax is also the greenfields discoverer of a new uranium province near Mukinbudin, Western Australia.

Through technically advanced exploration and an eye for detail, Mindax has successfully built a significant portfolio of 37 mineral exploration and mining tenements covering over 4,000 square kilometres. In addition, Mindax has applications in place for water and infrastructure covering over 2,400 square kilometres in support of the Mt Forrest Iron Project development.

Mindax aims to develop strategic resources through innovative exploration. Higher yield projects will be moved to production via strategic partnerships.

Highlights

  • Previously undrilled areas, newly accessible, reveal significant additional Direct Shipping goethite-hematite and related iron mineralisation including new Regolith material, over 2 kilometres and 1 kilometre sections of strike.

  • Targeting Regolith goethite-hematite Direct Shipping material, the drilling program completed 67 holes for 3,269 metres.

  • Scout drilling of a blanket of detrital material adjacent to goethitic iron formation at Cassowary returned consistent iron mineralised intervals of 40-45% Fe over a 20 metre section from surface. Mapping describes an area of 2 x 1 kilometres along the ridgeline and out to the west. Potential to be quantified by drilling.

  • Preliminary metallurgical testwork on surface detrital material has upgraded above 57% Fe by a simple crushing, screening and washing process.

  • New zone of goethite-hematite mineralisation identified by scout drilling and mapping at Paradise Bore . Includes iron grades greater than 54% Fe over 1000 metres of strike and extends to depths of 70 metres below surface.

  • Recent Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) testwork returned a best weight recovery of 62.3% with a concentrate grade of 71.1% Fe, indicative of an ultra clean magnetite specification. Analysis of DTR tails confirmed certain mineralisation includes a hematite component potentially enhancing overall Fe recoveries.

  • Further resource definition drilling of these new Regolith targets has the ability to significantly increase the current JORC resource inventory.

  • Continued solid progress on approvals, infrastructure planning and negotiations with infrastructure providers with the aim to mine DSO in 2013 and magnetite in 2015.

MT FORREST PROJECT (Iron, Gold 100%)

Regolith Drilling Program

Further RC drilling at Mt Forrest was completed comprising 67 holes for 3,269 metres (Table 1).

The Regolith Drilling Program is targeted at potential Direct Shipping goethite-hematite and related iron mineralisation, overlying the deep-seated iron mineralised system. This program focused on

  • Scout drilling three untested goethite prospects at Bulga, Currawong and Emu North.

  • Infill drilling at goethite targets Toucan, Parrot and Cassowary North.

  • Scout drill testing of detritals flanking the Cassowary North project.

At Bulga , 25 holes were drilled for 1,344 metres. Several BIF units containing regolith iron mineralisation (with iron grades greater than 50% Fe) were identified with strike lengths of up to 1.2 kilometres. The best result was 34 metres @ 53.0% Fe in hole MFC0290, including 10 metres @ 59.1% Fe from 10 metres depth (Table 2). These results suggest the depth extent of the >50% Fe regolith iron mineralisation is approximately 30 metres below surface.

At Currawong , 12 holes were drilled for 592 metres (Table 2). Drill hole MFC0341 was drilled to test outcrop and intersected reasonable goethite mineralisation [8 metres @ 57.5% Fe from 8 metres (Figure 2)]. This is the same iron unit that was intersected over 750 metres to the south in hole MFC0271 [10 metres @ 56.3% Fe from 72 metres (Figure 3)]. The strike length of this distinct zone exceeds 1 kilometre (Figure 4) and represents a significant new zone of goethite mineralisation. The zone lies immediately east of the Paradise Bore gold resource and has been picked up in hole PBC40, which was previously drilled targeting gold and returning an intercept of 15 metres @ 40.7% Fe. Further drilling is planned in the New Year.

ASX Announcement Iron Exploration Update 1 December 2011

At Parrot and Toucan , infill resource drilling successfully intersected goethite-hematite mineralisation (Table 2) which confirmed the thickness and grade of the mineralisation in areas previously modelled as Inferred Resources. This additional data and subsequent increase in confidence will allow for the Inferred Resources to be added to the Indicated Resource Inventory.

At Emu North , 10 holes were drilled for 384 metres. The drill results (Table 2) show narrow, flat dipping, stringy bands of goethite-hematite mineralisation. The flat dip of the units limits the depth extent of the goethite-hematite mineralisation to less than 20 metres.

South of Emu at Cassowary North, scout drilling of detrital iron mineralisation returned a down hole thickness of 28 metres in hole MFC0360, giving the mineralisation vertical section of 25 metres from surface. The section averages 40-45% Fe and includes narrow intercepts of up to 58% Fe with low SiO2 at 4%. (Table 2)

This target was generated from earlier gold exploration drilling. Mapping indicates the detrital blanket to abut outcropping goethitic iron formations to the east and laterally extensive for 2 kilometres along the ridgeline and up to 1 kilometre to the west. The material includes hematised clasts and pisoliths in a clay rich matrix. Drilling used a non-destructive drilling technique required to quantify the thickness and lateral extent of the detrital blanket.

More detailed mapping has been undertaken and preliminary samples collected from exposures in gullies. These are being sized to establish further understanding of the material. Early observations suggest that simple screening or trommelling should generate a suitable product. This regolith mapping is being extended to similar detrital blankets at the Toucan, Parrot and Emu North prospects and drilling will also extend to these areas.

GEOMETALLURGY

Regolith Detrital Materials

Nine preliminary surface samples were taken at Cassowary North for size classification and assay to determine the potential upgrade of detrital material to a saleable product by dry-screening out the finer fractions, including the high alumina clay fractions.

Of the nine samples, five returned saleable grades higher than 57% Fe with acceptable silica and aluminium levels. Further bulk sampling will be undertaken.

Davis Tube Recovery (“DTR”) Results at 40 Micron

Follow-up DTR analyses were returned for the deep drilling completed in March 2011. These have delineated several wide bands of exceptionally high magnetite recoveries, making for a superior ultraclean marketable concentrate. These results from the Echidna and Emu prospects provide support for neighbouring drill holes, confirming and complimenting the strike continuity of this high tenor primary magnetite - microplaty hematite mineralisation. Drill hole MFC0303 intersected several high-grade zones, with primary grades up to 49% Fe. This included a DTR interval with weight recoveries up to 60%, averaging 100 metres @ 70.8% Fe concentrate with very low contaminants (Figure 6). The DTR results are outlined in Table 4.

Selective analysis of DTR tails (non magnetic residues) was also undertaken where samples showed high primary iron grades, but relatively low DTR recoveries. These tails subsequently returned assays of up to 22% Fe. This non-magnetic iron mineral is confirmed as hematite, indicating partial martite alteration of magnetite or a primary hematite being present. This confirms a widespread geological observation of hematite alteration of magnetite and should enable more efficient recoveries of iron oxides from this mineralisation.

Infrastructure

The Company continues to make solid progress on approvals, infrastructure planning and negotiations with infrastructure providers.

In October, the first of 12 Miscellaneous Licence applications that constitute an infrastructure corridor from Mt Forrest to Menzies was granted.

Mindax continues with planning so that it is a position to mine DSO in 2013 and magnetite in 2015.

Yours sincerely,
