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.
Yours faithfully,
For or on behalf of Radar Iron Ltd
