  • Funding negotiations continue

Radar Iron Ltd (ASX: RAD) is pleased to provide investors with an update on the progress in acquiring 51% of the Mount Ruby DSO deposit in the Innisfail district of Far North Queensland.

Due diligence continues on the project with latest developments as detailed below:

  • The drill data for three diamond core holes drilled in the 1970’s has been located. None of the holes were assayed for iron content but the geological logs were available. Two holes were drilled east to west, both intercepting approximately 30m of magnetite rich skarn mineralisation. A further hole drilled from west to east passed under the mineralisation (Figures 2 and 3). The existing interpretation of an east dipping orientation for the magnetite skarn mineralisation is supported by this drill data. The schematic cross (Figure 3) section shows Holes 2 and 3 and the current geological interpretation for the orientation of the mineralisation. Hole 1 lies approximately 75m to the south and was not included on the section for pictorial simplicity – this hole intercepted the skarn approximately 80m below the top of Mt Ruby and supports the geological interpretation shown on the section.

  • A ground magnetic survey is scheduled to be completed this week to facilitate optimal drill targeting.

  • Drilling approvals are expected this week with RC drill testing planned to start immediately after that.

  • Discussions continue with a number of potential investment partners with a view to funding the acquisition and project development through off-take agreements.

The Company will provide regular updates on drilling and due diligence progress in the coming weeks.

Mt Ruby Update

Background

Radar and Developed Iron Ore Pty Ltd (DIO) will form a joint venture aimed at exploiting the high grade DSO mineralisation at Mt Ruby following a 3 month due diligence period as announced to the ASX on 8 February 2013.

An exploration target for the mineralisation at Mt Ruby of 8Mt-27Mt at 57-68% Fe has been estimated using extensive surface sampling data (averaging 64.2% Fe) along with geophysical interpretation. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.

Mining of high grade direct shipping ore is planned for the second half of 2013 with approvals in place or pending. Mt Ruby lies within 120km trucking distance from the port near Innisfail.

DIO has already completed project evaluation and mining studies on the project and agreements are in place to enable transport including highway trucking and export through the port of Mourilyan. Other approvals already in place or pending allow an initial mining rate of 600,000tpa with mining expected to commence in the December Quarter 2013.

The three diamond holes were drilled around 1971. Two drill collars have been identified on the ground (DDH1 and DDH3) while the third collar (DDH2) no longer exists. The core has not been retained and the drill logs have only just been located. The holes were drilled at IP anomalies and did not intersect significant levels of base metal mineralisation.

Yours faithfully,

For or on behalf of Radar Iron Ltd
