Overview
The Board of Radar Iron Ltd (“Radar”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 30 September 2012. During the quarter Radar continued to focus on increasing its hematite resource inventory through drilling, geophysics and surface mapping.
In August, Radar completed a RC drill programme aimed at better defining the mineralisation at the Muldoon prospect and first pass testing of a number of prospects in the Johnston Range area. A total of 6,406m of RC drilling was completed with 2,414m of this being drilled in the June Quarter. The drilling was aimed at better defining the Muldoon resource. At least three significant new mineralised zones were identified that require further drill testing and a number of encouraging isolated intercepts provided further possible targets.
The drilling provided better definition of the existing Muldoon mineralisation, indicating a greater thickness to the south than previously recognised. Radar is encouraged that an increased resource may result once further geological modelling is undertaken. New zones of mineralisation were identified both surrounding Muldoon and also up to 6km to the north.
A 4 hole RC drilling programme (for 282m) was completed at the Jackson project aimed at characterising the BIF. Anomalous results were returned indicating hematite enrichment is present and further work is justified.
Radar continued metallurgical studies aimed at testing the potential for lower grade mineralisation to be beneficiated. Results are expected in the December Quarter.

All exploration data acquired in the past year is being assessed to determine the best targets for further drill testing, both at the Johnston Range project and other projects in the district. There are a substantial number of targets ready for drill testing that have potential to increase the resource inventory. Subject to the current review these targets will be prioritised and scheduled for drill testing.

Johnston Range
Multiple hematite targets (generated through a combination of geological mapping, aero-magnetic and gravity geophysical interpretation) have been previously identified in the Johnston Range and Evanston project areas. Zones of surface hematite enrichment up to approximately 800m in length have been defined by mapping. It is Radar’s intention to progressively test these zones with the aim of delineating sufficient resources to justify mining by the time the port of Esperance is expanded to provide capacity.
The prospects lie around the Horse Well Anticline that defines the 40km long belt of banded iron formation on the Johnston Range tenements (Figures 2 & 6) and also on adjoining banded iron formation (BIF) ridges in the Evanston project. The Johnston Range is comprised of multiple bands of BIF which represents a target of several hundred linear kilometres of BIF with potential for hematite enrichment.
Johnston Range remains Radar’s key focus given the significant potential for hematite mineralisation. Drilling to date has only tested the more obvious targets at Johnston Range and the presence of multiple BIF bands and the variable strike length of the mineralisation means there are a significant number of potential hematite targets yet to be drill tested.
Summary of exploration for September Quarter:
-
Flora survey completed to enable further drill testing
-
Drilling completed at new Johnston Range prospects and to infill the Muldoon resource – 71 holes for 3,992m of RC drilling completed during the quarter (total programme 117 holes for 6,404m)
-
Ground magnetic surveying programme continued – 183line km completed
-
Ground truthing and reconnaissance mapping ongoing
The ground magnetic coverage has enabled better targeting for the completed drill programme and information for future campaigns. The magnetic signatures help discern between potentially enriched haematic BIF and unaltered BIF.
The flora surveys completed were aimed at both gaining approval for future drill campaigns and also to establish baseline conditions to be used for future mining approvals.
Recent Drilling Results
A two month long RC drilling programme at the Johnston Range project was completed in early August and produced a number of positive results (Table 1) that require further testing. The results also reinforced the resource potential of the Muldoon Prospect. A total of 117 holes for 6,406m were drilled (Appendix 1).
The Muldoon results (Figure 3, Table 1) contained the best assay intervals received to date from the Muldoon prospect and indicated a greater mineralisation thickness to the south than previously recognised. This provides encouragement that an increased resource will result once geological modelling is again undertaken (current resource stands at 2.1Mt at 57.6% Fe and at lower cut-off grades the mineralisation inventory exceeds 3Mt at 56% Fe – as announced in ASX release dated 8/05/12).

Figure 3: Muldoon Area with Selected Drill Intercepts
==> picture [348 x 420] intentionally omitted <==
As detailed in the June 2012 Quarterly Report, a new zone of mineralisation was identified 500m to the south-east of Muldoon (see Figure 3). Seven RC drill holes were completed in a new area containing at least three separate BIF units. Four of these holes returned significant mineralised intercepts – the best being 22m at 56.9% Fe. This BIF unit has been mapped as extending over 500m.
An earlier hole on this BIF – 300m north of the recent drilling returned a lower grade but still had anomalous assay results (hole RIRC092 – 12m at 50.5% Fe). Further drill testing is planned.
The Muldoon East prospect (Figure 3) also returned anomalous results, albeit patchy in nature. Potential exists to identify a number of discrete zones of mineralisation along the trend. Drilling is scheduled to commence after further interpretation. Other isolated intercepts provide encouragement that further drill testing will prove up potential DSO quality mineralisation.
Near the northern end of Muldoon (50m to the west, Figure 5) drilling at a 200m long BIF returned a best intercept of 12m at 55.1%Fe. Again, follow up drilling is warranted.

North of Muldoon (Rowling and Shipley Prospects), an 8 kilometre extent of multiple BIF outcrop with numerous zones of anomalous hematite enrichment has been identified.
The largest new zone of potential mineralisation lies approximately 3km to the north of Muldoon and is a 700m long outcrop of BIF in which a single hole returned 14m at 54.4% Fe. Intercepts of 14m at 54.7%Fe and 6m at 55.4%Fe were received a further 3km north on a 200m long BIF outcrop (Figure 5). This area tends to have slightly steeper relief than other zones drill tested to date and only the more accessible targets have been tested to date.
New Tenement
E77/1961, within the Johnston Range Project area (Figure 6), was acquired recently by Radar. A total of 18 widely spaced RC drill holes were completed by a previous explorer. The best result was 10m at 58.6%Fe from 8m down hole.
The banded iron in the tenement exhibits substantial folding and faulting and hence lies in a structurally attractive zone for mineralisation. The tenement is perceived as having the potential for a similar mineralisation style to the Muldoon prospect and drill hole targeting will be undertaken in coming months.
Project Studies
It remains Radar’s objective to increase the current hematite resource base with a view to commencing mining by the time the Port of Esperance is expanded with the support of the Western Australian Government. Radar is participating in the current market sounding process driven by the Port with the aim of ultimately being allocated tonnage capacity in the expanded port. A number of studies are at various stages that will feed into the mine planning and approval processes including:
-
A completed regional desk top water resource analysis.
-
A spring flora and fauna survey over Johnston Range area along with commencing trapping of troglofauna.
-
A transport option study – commissioned to identify options to access the rail.
-
An ongoing metallurgical test work programme aimed at assessing the potential for lower grade mineralisation to be upgrade by standard processes. Stage 1 results are expected in coming months, and with a positive outcome could justify further drill testing and substantially increase the potential resource inventory.
-
A preliminary iron ore marketing study was completed by independent consultancy Iron Ore Research Pty Ltd. The finding was that the new product is saleable at a discount to the benchmark price to smaller Chinese steel mills but studies should be carried out to test marketability to the larger steel mills including mature markets such as Japan. This finding provides further encouragement that the Muldoon Resource quality is suitable for export.

Future Work
Field mapping will continue in the December Quarter and coupled with a comprehensive review of the drilling and exploration data acquired in the past year will provide the basis for identifying and prioritising targets for drill testing in 2013. The metallurgical test work currently in progress will be a factor used for future drill planning - positive results that suggest material say above 45% Fe can be upgraded to DSO grade could change the focus of further work and potentially significantly increase the likely resource inventory.

Die Hardy Range Project
With Radar’s current focus on defining hematite resources at the Johnston Range project, no active field work has been completed at the Die Hardy magnetite project in recent months.
Radar is seeking a partner to progress this project, with the next stage of work expected to involve further resource drilling and metallurgical test work. The scoping completed in 2011 suggested the project had robust economics, and the work to date along with the realistic regional transport options suggest a significant magnetite operation can be successfully established at Die Hardy.
A desk-top ground water review was commissioned for the Die Hardy magnetite project. Results received in the June Quarter indicate there are sufficient aquifers in the region to provide water for a standard magnetite processing plant and a bore field is the most efficient option for water supply. Purification of the water is likely to be required to provide a potable water supply. Further work will involve drill testing of potential aquifers to better define flow rates and salinity.
Metallurgical test work commenced in the June Quarter on two weathered magnetite samples, overlying the primary magnetite mineralisation. This material is not included in the current resource estimate. The aim of the work is to establish a process for beneficiating this material into a saleable product. Results suggested that the weathered material could not be upgraded by magnetic separation but potential remains for floatation processes to be successful. Further studies are required.
The potential for a major body of magnetite mineralisation at the Die Hardy Range was indentified in 2010 through reconnaissance mapping and is approximately 3.4km long. A substantial RC drilling programme in 2011 resulted in the estimation of a maiden mineral resource estimation by consultant firm CSA Global in October 2011 and resulted in a JORC reportable Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at a 20% Fe cut-off grade of 353 million tonnes at 26.1% Fe (215Mt 26.7% Fe Indicated and 138Mt at 25.2% Fe Inferred).

resource estimation procedure and ore body characteristics were provided in Radar’s December Quarterly report reported to the ASX on January 31, 2012.
The deposit outcrops as a ridge of magnetite bearing banded iron formation (BIF). The BIF is partially demagnetised to a depth of 40-50m. The mineralisation dips steeply south and is exposed over a strike length of several kilometres. The reverse circulation (RC) drilling intersected massive magnetite mineralisation with widths from 100 to 300m to a depth of 350m below surface. Drilling to date has not yet fully defined the extent or the depth of mineralisation.
The mineralisation has been tested for approximately 40% of its strike extent on Radar’s tenements and remains open along strike and at depth. Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) results and metallurgical test work indicates that a concentrate can be produced exceeding 69% Fe with low levels of contaminants at a grind size of 50 micron. This indicates that the mineralisation can be treated and has excellent potential for producing a saleable concentrate.

Regional Exploration
Regional geological reconnaissance and ground magnetic surveying continued on Radar tenements in the June Quarter. A number of areas have been identified as containing outcropping hematite mineralisation and magnetite potential is widespread. The focus for regional exploration remains to identify new hematite targets for potential drill testing in 2012. A total of 890 line km of ground magnetic coverage was completed during the quarter at the Johnson Range (183 km), and Jackson (483 km) and Windarling Peak (324 km) Projects
In late September, an RC drill programme comprised of four hole for 282m was completed at the Jackson project as a primary targeting exercise (Hole details in Appendix 1). The results (Table 1; Hole Number RIRC295) indicate hematite enrichment is present in the BIF with the best internal being 28m at 51.0% Fe (and a calcined iron grade of 57.4% Fe). While being sub DSO grade, this result provides encouragement that DSO grade material could be present in the project area and further exploration is being planned. Potentially geophysical targeting tools such as gravity techniques will be assessed as a method for identifying further drill targets. Other targets remain to be tested in the Jackson project area.
At other projects, approvals were submitted for additional drilling at Evanston and Windarling (along with Johnston Range). Substantial areas are now ready for drill testing pending definitive targeting based on the ongoing data review and ground magnetic interpretation.
