Overview

The board of Radar Iron Ltd (“Radar”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 31 December 2010.

Radar is focused on identifying and defining hematite and magnetite resources in the Central Yilgarn district of Western Australia. The Company has an extensive package of tenements with over 40km of multiple banded iron formation contained on its leases

Radar listed on the ASX in December 2010 while initial field work and drilling was completed during the quarter

Following the Company’s successful float, it is positioned with sufficient funds to explore its highly prospective tenement holding over the next two years.

Radar’s overall exploration objectives in 2011 are:

  • To define an initial hematite resource by mid 2011

  • To define an initial magnetite resource by late 2011

  • To continue exploration on the tenement holding to identify all potential targets and ensure continuity in drill testing opportunity

Field reconnaissance mapping and the initial drill testing of magnetite targets during the quarter have commenced this process in line with the above objectives. The initial drill testing of hematite targets is scheduled for Quarter 1, 2011.

Drill results, Davis tube recovery tests and independent geophysical assessment of the tenements received in January 2011 have provided substantial encouragement that significant magnetite mineralisation is present in a form and scale that can be potentially concentrated to produce a saleable product.

Figure 1: Project Area

Exploration to December 2010

Radar has three project areas, Johnston Range, Die Hardy and Evanston, all in the central Yilgarn, (Figure 2).

In mid 2010, a geophysical review of existing magnetite and gravity data in the Johnston Range area was completed by previous tenement holders Transit Holdings Ltd – primarily aimed at identifying potential hematite mineralisation. This process generated a significant number of potential targets. Field reconnaissance programmes commenced in the September Quarter 2010 to validate the potential targets leading to initial drill targets being identified both for hematite and magnetite.

The following exploration was completed in the December Quarter 2010

  1. Further field mapping was completed in the Johnston Range area both by internal geologists and using a geological contractor to validate existing and identify new targets. This mapping is continuing in January 2011 by which time the entire Johnston Range belt will be covered.

  2. Drilling approvals were received – through the Programme of Works (PoW) process – for 91 planned drill holes over nine prospects at Johnston Range and Die Hardy. These approvals covered both hematite and magnetite drill targets.

  3. In November/December 2010 a 1388m RC drill programme was completed, targeting magnetite mineralisation to provide initial samples for assay and preliminary metallurgical testing to assist in the prioritising of magnetite drill targets in 2011. The prospects tested were Lara at the Die Hardy project and Beven, Clutch, Olger and Bolger at the Johnston Range Project.

  4. Two flora surveys were completed in November/December 2010 by botanical consultants to facilitate future drilling approvals. At the southern end of the Muldoon prospect the declared rare flora (DRF) Ricinocarpos brevis was identified. While the majority of the prospect can be drilled with existing approvals, any further work in the southern end of the prospect will require permission from the Minister for Environment.

Magnetite Drill Results

Assaying was completed based on a 4m sample length and eight DTR tests were completed on selected 12m intervals of composite drill samples. Assay results are shown in Table 1 with DTR results in Table 2.

Overall assay results averaged in the 28-30% Fe range and DTR results indicate that the magnetite rich banded ironstone formation at Lara and Beven can be beneficiated into high-grade concentrates with low levels of SiO2, Al2O3, P and S.

Note: DTR and assaying completed by Spectrolab, Geraldton DTR procedure gives a nominal P80 sizing of 40 micron

Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) test work is aimed at defining the potential concentration characteristics of magnetite mineralisation using magnetite separation. In practise the samples are pulverised to a measured size and then the magnetite and waste material (primarily silica) are separated by passing a magnet.

Typically DTR concentrates, to be indicative of being potentially economic ore, require the following characteristics:

  • an iron grade greater than 66% Fe

  • a silica (quartz) content less than 5%

  • a test work grind size of greater than 25 microns (40 microns used in these tests)

  • a mass recovery greater than 30% (percentage of sample recovered as magnetite)

The DTR results to date for the Lara and Beven prospects are encouraging as they meet or exceed all these indicators and provide the encouragement to undertake further drill and metallurgical assessment. The results for the Olger and Bolger do not, but a finer grind could liberate the magnetite and silica to a greater degree and provide a suitable product - further metallurgical test work will be undertaken with this aim.

The limited DTR testing completed to date should not be considered as representative of the overall magnetite mineralisation characteristics as far more intensive testing is required before definitive results can be obtained. It is useful however to assist in prioritising the various magnetite prospects and in justifying further testing.

Quarterly Activities Report For the Three Months Ended 31 December 2010

Prospect Details

Die Hardy Project

Two RC holes were completed at the Lara prospect. Both holes finished in ore with the maximum intercept being 154m, with assay intervals indicating an average 25-30% Fe grade. Three Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) tests were performed and results were highly encouraging with iron head grades up to 70.3% Fe and mass recoveries to 48%.

The Lara prospect forms a prominent ridge approximately 3.4km long and 200-300m wide dipping sub-vertically and hence is a major magnetite target. The two holes drilled support the current interpreted width and depth potential. The assay and DTR results are highly encouraging and further metallurgical test work and drilling will be undertaken in 2011.

Quarterly Activities Report For the Three Months Ended 31 December 2010

Johnston Range Project

Beven Prospect

Four holes were drilled at Beven on two section lines approximately 400m apart. Magnetite rich BIF intervals ranged from 16-56 m with average head grades 22-32% Fe. The eastern drill section returned longer down hole magnetite rich BIF intercepts (>50m width). The DTR test work was highly encouraging with head grades averaging 70% Fe and mass recovery 38%.

Beven outcrops as a low ridge 1.2km long and these results suggest the eastern part to have better potential for significant magnetite mineralisation. Further metallurgical test work and drilling at Beven will be scheduled in 2011.

==> picture [432 x 427] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Johnston Range – Drill hole location

Clutch Prospect

Three holes were completed at Clutch with two not reaching planned depth owing to significant water influx. Assay results indicate a grade of 27-30% Fe for the magnetite rich BIF with a maximum interval 40m at 37.4% Fe, although this is partially formed in weathered BIF. No DTR test work was completed.

==> picture [596 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Quarterly Activities Report

For the Three Months Ended 31 December 2010

Clutch has a strike length of several kilometres and is identified as both a magnetite and hematite target. It is considered that the magnetite potential of this zone has not been adequately tested to date and the hematite potential has not yet been drill tested at all. Further work will be scheduled to assess the mineralisation potential in 2011.

Bolger/Olger Prospect

One hole was drilled at each of the Bolger and Olger prospects. Both returned reasonable down hole intercepts with grades around 30% Fe. DTR results however indicated that a finer grind is required to liberate the silica from the magnetite.

Strike length for these two zones is less than 1km and unless further geophysical analysis or metallurgical test work provide renewed encouragement then no further drill testing is planned at this stage.

Exploration Programme 2011

Hematite – Mapping of the Johnson Range lease is being completed in January 2011 and it is expected this will provide first pass cover of the entire tenement group. This information coupled with more detailed localised mapping and sampling should provide new hematite drill targets.

Drill testing of currently identified hematite targets is scheduled to commence in the first quarter 2011. This initial drill testing is aimed at confirming the most prospective targets on which to complete resource evaluation drilling. It is planned to release the maiden hematite resource statement by mid 2011.

Further drilling, at existing or new hematite targets, will occur in the second half of the year if there is potential to expand the resource base.

Magnetite – A review of existing aero-magnetic geophysical data was completed in January 2011. The study aim was to facilitate the identification and targeting of those areas in the 35km strike length of BIF that are more prospective for greater widths and concentrations of magnetite mineralisation. An exploration potential at Johnston Range for magnetite BIF was estimated by independent consultants at 5.3Bt (4.0Bt – 6.7Bt) at 20-45% Fe. (See ASX release dated January 31, 2011 for more detail.) Coupled with the assessment of existing drilling, and continued field mapping and sampling, this will facilitate the identification and prioritising of further magnetite drill targets in 2011.

Resource definition drilling of magnetite mineralisation is planned to occur largely in the second half of 2011 aimed at a maiden magnetite resource statement by the end of the year.

An Exploration Plan statement was released to the ASX on 11 January 2011 and this provides further details of the 2011 programme.

The information in this report accurately reflects information prepared by competent persons (as defined by the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves). It is compiled by Mr Jonathan Lea, an employee of the Company who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy with the requisite experience in the field of activity in which he is reporting. Mr Lea has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and the 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 for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Lea consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The potential quantity and grade of iron deposits reported as exploration potential is conceptual in nature and 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.
