- A fully underwritten one for one non-renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $4.6M
The placement at a price of 3.5 cents a share is to private investment company Victory Mining Pty Ltd (“ Victory ”) and will result in Victory holding approximately 19.7% of Radar’s expanded issued capital at completion. The transaction, which is subject to shareholder approval, is expected to be finalised in mid-October 2014.
The rights issue offer to shareholders is at a price of not less than 3.5 cents and expected to raise approximately $4.6M. Victory has agreed to underwrite the offer subject to the approval of shareholders, which if approved, is expected to be completed by the end of November 2014.
Proceeds from the placement and rights issue will fund the $2.9 million in remaining payment obligations for the acquisition of the Yerecoin Project and provide working capital to progress technical studies on Yerecoin that are necessary to advance the project to a decision to mine.

It is expected the placement funds will be received by mid-October 2014 and the rights issue finalised around the end of November 2014.
FUTURE WORK
With the funding for the Yerecoin project development work now secured, the ongoing technical evaluation studies will ratchet up in scope. These studies into metallurgical properties, reserve definition, transport options etc., are continuing and negotiations continue with infrastructure providers to better define the cost structure. Further releases on these aspects are expected in coming months.
New drill campaigns will be planned following the pit definition work aimed at obtaining further samples for metallurgical assessment and to increase the confidence in the current resource base.
Drilling plans for the potential high grade DSO iron ore Uruara project in Brazil will also be finalised so first pass drilling can be completed in the coming months.

RADAR’S IRON ORE BUSINESS MODEL
Radar believes that with the depletion of high-grade direct shipping iron ore, global demand for high-grade concentrate (which can be used to supplement lower grade DSO ore) will increase substantially.
Radar has determined that an orderly and progressive approach to the development of new magnetite ore bodies is preferable. Initial smaller scale economic projects can be repeated or scaled up to successfully enter the high quality iron feedstock business.
This approach to magnetite project development contributes to de-risking the technical processes and mitigates against softer iron ore prices by reducing the high margin spread otherwise necessary to recover large front-end capital costs.
This strategy underpins Radar’s investment in the Yerecoin deposit. With 388mt of Indicated and Inferred Resources, the project has the potential to initially produce approximately 250,000 tonnes of high quality (68%+) Fe concentrate per annum using a small-scale production plant for an estimated capital cost of approximately $35m. Radar considers that this project strategy enables the exploitation of a major mineral resource in a measured and progressive way.
