JORC Inferred Resource base of 1 Billion tonnes (October 2010) (Inf 1.01 Btonnes @ 31% Fe PBM and Ind + Inf 4.5 Mtonnes @ 54% Fe DSO)

Drilling ahead towards Inferred + Indicated JORC status at end March 2011

(308 holes for 28,134.6 metres currently includes 939.6 metres diamond core)

Scoping Study due end March 2011
