The Case for Copper
The outlook for copper remains extremely robust…
----- End of picture text -----

Copper has one of the most impressive demand trajectories of all metals, driven by urbanisation, China’s ongoing growth and the electrification of large emerging markets

But supply remains challenged due to declining grades and mine closures

Mr Slater consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Competent Person’s Statement – Underground Ore Reserves

• The information in this report that relates to Underground Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Shane McLeay of Entech Pty Ltd, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr McLeay has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

Forward-Looking Statements

• Certain statements made during or in connection with this statement contain or comprise certain forward-looking statements regarding Sandfire’s Mineral Resources and Reserves, exploration operations, project development operations, production rates, life of mine, projected cash flow, capital expenditure, operating costs and other economic performance and financial condition as well as general market outlook. Although Sandfire believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such expectations are only predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause actual values, results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or projected in any forward looking statements and no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, delays or changes in project development, success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, fluctuations in metals prices and exchange rates and business and operational risk management. Except for statutory liability which cannot be excluded, each of Sandfire, its officers, employees and advisors expressly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the material contained in this statement and excludes all liability whatsoever (including in negligence) for any loss or damage which may be suffered by any person as a consequence of any information in this statement or any error or omission. Sandfire undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after today's date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events other than required by the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly you should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statement.

Exploration and Resource Targets

• Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration Targets for the DeGrussa Project is only conceptual in nature. While Sandfire is confident that it will report additional JORC compliant resources for the DeGrussa Project, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources in addition to the current JORC compliant resource inventory and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources.

Note *Ore Reserves contained in this table have been updated from the Ore Reserve Statement disclosed by the Company on 29 March 2011. Mining activities, including stockpiling, and sale of product have continued since 31 March 2012.

Note 1 A cut-off grade of 8.5% Cu is applied on the Chalcocite to provide a targeted 26% Cu direct sale product. All other material within the defined deposit boundaries has been included in the reporting of Ore Reserves with any sub-economic grade material being treated as internal dilutents. These Ore Reserves include an overall assumption of 2.5% mining dilution at nil grade for all grade categories along with an assumed 2.5% mining loss of ore tonnes when mined. Calculations rounded to the nearest 10,000 tonnes; 0.1% Cu grade, 0.1 g/t Au grade; 1,000 tonnes Cu metal and 1,000 ounces Au metal. Errors of rounding may occur. The in-situ Ore Reserves occur within an open pit design containing 14Mt of total material, resulting in a waste to ore strip ratio of 12:1. Low grade laterite gold stockpiles not included in reserve.

Note 2 A 1.0% Cu lower cut-off grade has been applied to the copper oxide open pit in-situ Ore Reserves. The reported copper oxide stockpiles only include existing stockpiles with an estimated average grade above 1.0 % Cu.

Note 3Mining recovery factor of 95% applied to diluted stoping blocks, with cut-off grade of 1.5% Cu and minimum stope size of 2,000t. Calculations rounded to the nearest 1,000t, 0.1%, 0.1g/t and 1,000 ounces; errors of rounding may occur; assumes commodity prices of US$7,673/t for copper and US$1,300/oz for gold with a USD/AUD exchange rate of $0.86; assumes 91% metallurgical recovery rate. Note: Refer to the Competent Person Statements – Ore Reserves at the end of this release.

Note 4 These Ore Reserves are stated as at 31 March 2012.

• Mineral Resource zones still to be converted to Ore Reserve status:

==> picture [298 x 434] intentionally omitted <==

• 2.32Mt of Inferred Massive Sulphide resources @ 4.3% Cu, 2.0g/t Au (100kt contained copper, 149koz contained gold)
