Issued Capital
132,248,630 Ordinary Shares 5,000,000 Unlisted Options
Management’s key focus during the quarter aimed at executing the corporate strategy of minimising expenditure and to lift the suspension in trading on the Company’s shares while reviewing options to revitalise the company.
As detailed in the previous quarterly report, Radar made a single final payment to the vendors of the Yerecoin project in April to complete the purchase and now owns the project outright. Details of the settlement were in Radar’s ASX release “Yerecoin Settlement”, dated April 24, 2015, available at Radar’s web site www.radariron.com.au.
Radar raised $615,000 to complete the transaction through convertible loan agreements with sophisticated professional investors who are unrelated parties. Approval for these loans to be converted to shares will be put to the shareholders at the next general meeting.
Radar has minimised expenditure to conserve cash during the quarter while assessing a number of potential new investments opportunities in exploration/mining but also in other commercial areas.
Managing Director, Jonathan Lea accepted a Non Executive Director role to reduce overall Director remuneration. All tenement holdings were reviewed and non core tenements were surrendered (ie Northam tenements). A sustainable cash flow forecast for the coming 12 months was completed which is expected to facilitate completion of the half-year statutory review of the accounts and enable requotation on the ASX in the near term.
The Company’s view is that while the recent conditions for iron ore explorers have been exceedingly trying, Radar has acted responsibly to conserve the existing cash while actively looking for new investment opportunities to reinvigorate the Company. We thank our shareholders for their patience and assure all stakeholders that the Board will do its utmost to increase the value of the company going forward.

YERECOIN PROJECT
Radar Iron Ltd acquired the Yerecoin Iron Ore Project in April 2014.
The Yerecoin project area is within approximately 150km of Perth and is adjacent to an accessible rail line. Yerecoin has been drilled with sufficient density to enable resource estimation. The Company has reported JORC 2012 Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources of 383Mt – refer ASX releases of 24 April 2014 “ Major Project Acquisition ” and 8 September 2014 “ Yerecoin Resource Upgrade ” as available on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au .

NORTHAM PROJECT
Following a review of the Radar’s Northam tenements (See Figure 1), a decision was made to surrender these tenements during the quarter. Five tenements, E70/2783, E70/3937, E70/3938, E70/3939 and E70/3940 were surrendered and Radar has no further liability on this ground.
URUARA BRAZIL PROJECT
Despite the potential of the Uruara Project, a decision was made to withdraw to conserve cash. Details were provided in Radar’s ASX release “Withdrawal from Brazil Project”, dated April 21, 2015, available at Radar’s web site www.radariron.com.au.
Even after encouraging results from a recent drilling programme and the potential for the low cost extraction and transport of the DSO mineralisation, given the depressed state of the iron ore market and obligatory future option fees payments under the farm-in agreement, Radar decided not to proceed with the farm-in process for Uruara.
Radar notified its Brazilian partner that it was not proceeding with the farm-in and has no ongoing liabilities for the project.

YILGARN PROJECT
No field work completed.
CORPORATE
Radar’s main focus during the quarter was aimed at lifting of the voluntary suspension from trading in the Company’s securities which Radar put in place in late 2014.
As part of the cost minimisation programme, Managing Director, Jonathan Lea resigned his executive role and was subsequently appointed as non–executive director. All directors now receive a monthly payment of $3,000 per month, a further reduction in recurrent expenditure.
Options are being reviewed to minimise expenditure on all tenement holding in the near future, leading to the surrender of the Northam tenements as mentioned above and other strategies such as using retention licenses to keep tenements in good standing while restricting obligatory expenditure.
An option agreement signed with Padbury Mining Limited in December 2014, to sell Radar’s Johnston Range and Die Hardy Projects located in the Central Yilgarn has expired but negotiations continue and it remains opens for Radar to accept the arrangement subject to the funding being obtained by Padbury. Details of the option agreement were contained in Radar’s December 2014 Quarterly Report to the ASX dated January 28, 2015, which is available at Radar’s web site www.radariron.com.au.
The Company’s cash balance at the end of the quarter was $240,000.
