ASX and Media Release

6 March 2015

THUNDERBIRD TO RECEIVE APPROVALS SUPPORT

Mineral Sands developer Sheffield Resources Limited (“Sheffield” “the Company”) (ASX:SFX) is pleased to announce that the Company’s Thunderbird mineral sands project, near Derby in northwest Western Australia, has been assessed and designated a Level 2 Lead Agency Project Proposal by the WA Department of Minerals and Petroleum (“DMP”).

This means the DMP will advise and assist the Company with coordination of approvals across other WA Government agencies during the pre-submission and submission stages of the Project proposal.

Sheffield’s Managing Director Bruce McQuitty commented: “This is a great outcome for Sheffield and acknowledges the significance of the Thunderbird project to the State.

“We look forward to working with the DMP to advance the Project in a timely manner.”

Thunderbird is the first major mineral sands deposit to be discovered in the Canning Basin. Sheffield was recently granted preferred proponent status for the Derby Wharf Bulk Handling Facility, which represents a potential infrastructure solution for the project. A pre-feasibility study is well advanced and is on schedule to be finalised by April 2015.
