Tormin or Xolobeni during the year. As such, the mineral resources as at 31 December 2013 remain consistent with 31 December 2012.

MRC commissioned the Tormin Mineral Sands Project in January 2014. MRC has previously reported that a prospecting right for the offshore area immediately adjacent to Tormin was awarded towards the end of 2012. The offshore prospecting area covers an area of 12km[2] and extends 1km out to sea from the low-water mark and covers the full length of the existing 12km Tormin tenement.

The established geology of the region confirms that the source of the Tormin beach deposit is a Heavy Mineral-rich offshore zone and that the dynamic coastline serves to replenish the beaches by transporting sediment from deeper waters.

As previously noted, to date 99% of the area mined has replenished through normal tidal movements. The Company continues its work on the replenishment studies to determine the dynamics of the grade and quantum timing of the mineral sands redeposit.

The Company has received a number of proposals to drill and sample the offshore area and re-define the existing beach resource. The program, which will be subject to final selection of drilling techniques and Contractors to ensure integrity of sampling collection, prevailing weather and will be accelerated upon sourcing a working capital facility. The programme has not yet commenced. This will be pursued in the June quarter.

MINERAL RESOURCE AND ORE RESERVE GOVERNANCE

Mineral Resources and where applicable, Ore Reserves, are estimated by suitable qualified MRC personnel in accordance with the JORC Code, using industry standard techniques.

All Mineral Resource estimates and supporting documentation are reviewed by external Competent Persons. Any amendments to the Mineral Resource Statement to be included in the Annual Report is reviewed by a suitably qualified Competent Person.
