COMPETENT PERSON’S STATEMENTS

The information in this presentation is compiled by Mr Jonathan Lea, a Competent Person who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Lea is a full-time employee of Radar Iron Ltd and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type ofdeposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 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.

PREVIOUS REPORTED RESULTS YERECOIN

A Mineral Resource was established previously for the Yerecoin Magnetite Deposit in 2014. This information was reported under the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. The Mineral Resource was detailed in an ASX release and is available to view on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au. The ASX release was:

Major ProjectAcquisitionon 24/04/2014

Information in this report which relates to exploration results for the Yerecoin deposit, together with any related assessments and interpretations is based on information approved for release by Mr Giles Rodney Dale of G R Dale and associates. Mr Dale holds a Fellowship Diploma in Geology from RMIT; is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Dale consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Information in this report which relates to the Mineral Resource estimation the Yerecoin deposit, together with any related assessments and interpretations is based on information approved for release by Patrick Huxtable who is full time employee of Tetra Tech Australia. Mr Huxtable holds a BSc in Geology from Curtin University and is an RPGeo and Member in good standing with the Australasian Institute of Geosciences and has sufficient experience which is relevantto the style of mineralisation under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Huxtable consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the data in the relevant market announcement continue to apply andhave not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

PREVIOUS REPORTED RESULTS URUARA

There is information in this announcement relating to surface sampling assays at the Uruara Project completed in two samplingprogrammes in 2013 and one in 2014. These were detailed in ASX releases and available to view on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au. The ASX releases were:

“Brazilian Iron Ore Project – Update 1” on 18/11/2013 and

“Brazilian Iron Ore Project – Update 2” on 15/01/2014 “Brazilian Update – Uruara Project Option Exercise” on 21/01/2014 “Brazilian Iron Ore Project – Update 6” on 02/04/2014

An Exploration Target was established previously for the Uruara mineralisation following assessment in 2013. This was detailed in an ASX release and is available to view on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au. The ASX release was:

“Brazilian Iron Ore Project Acquired” on 13/11/2013

The potential quantity and grade for Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource.

As specified in the text of this presentation and the previous ASX release the Exploration Target was based on surface mapping and interpretation along with widely spaced surface sampling results. Further work as outlined will include additional mapping and sampling, magnetic surveys and drill testing to validate the Exploration Target. This work should be completed in the first half of 2014.

The tonnage was estimated by assuming mineralised corridors averaging 200m wide to a depth of 5m with a length of 10km covered by the 3 corridors of mineralisation identified to date. A bulk density of 3.5 was applied to estimate tonnage. The range of tonnage was rounded off to 20-40Mt to indicate the uncertainty in this estimate. The grade was estimated using the average of the 16 ore grade assays results from the 24 samples taken that indicate ore grades will be approximately 62%Fe. The range was applied using practical knowledge of common maximum mined grades for iron ore deposits and a likely lower economic grade for extraction. The final grade will depend ultimately on the results obtained through drill testing and the economic cut off grade applied to any resource estimation.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the data in the relevant market announcement continue to apply andhave not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

PREVIOUS REPORTED RESULTS CENTRAL YILGARN

Mineral Resources were established previously for the Die Hardy Magnetite Deposit and the Muldoon Hematite Prospect in 2011 and 2012 respectively. This information was first reported under the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. and has not been updated. The Mineral Resources were detailed in ASX releases and are available to view on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au. The ASX releases were:

“Maiden 353Mt Magnetite JORC Resource for Die Hardy” on 16/11/2011, and

“Maiden Hematite JORC Resource for Muldoon Prospect” on 08/05/2012.

Information in this that relates to the Mineral Resource estimate for Muldoon reflects information compiled by Mr Alexey Zharnikov a full time employee of CSA Global Pty Ltd, who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). Mr Zharnikov has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is reporting to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.” Mr Zharnikov consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information compiled by him, in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this reportrelating to exploration results, sampling data validity andquality, mineralisation density andgeneralprojectdescriptions usedin the Die Hardy Resource Estimate accurately reflects information prepared by competent persons (as defined by the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves).
