Overview

The Board of Radar Iron Ltd (“Radar”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 30 June 2012. During the quarter, Radar continued to focus on increasing its hematite resource inventory through drilling, geophysics and surface mapping. Radar also announced the completion of a placement of 10 million new shares to a strategic Chinese investor to raise $3.3 million before costs to provide sufficient working capital to pursue additional hematite resources at the Company’s Central Yilgarn project.

Radar announced a maiden hematite resource for the Muldoon prospect in the Johnston Range project area during the quarter - a JORC reportable Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.1 million tonnes at 57.6% Fe. Radar’s expectation is that further drilling will define additional mineralisation and is aiming at identifying 8-10Mt of resource in 2012 and move to project development in 2013. Given the proximity to infrastructure and planned development of the Esperance Port – a hematite iron ore export operation is considered possible in the medium term.

In June, Radar commenced a RC drill programme aimed at better defining the mineralisation at the Muldoon prospect and also to test other anomalous zones in the Johnston Range area. A total of 2,414m of RC drilling was completed returning further encouraging results that could increase the resource inventory to the south and in a new zone to the east of Muldoon. Other areas were tested that require further evaluation or metallurgical test work to establish their economic potential.

Radar also commenced a metallurgical study aimed at testing the potential for lower grade mineralisation to be beneficiated, with results expected in the September Quarter.

As announced during the quarter Radar intends to rapidly progress resource definition and the subsequent mining approval process in coming months with the aim of commencing mining of hematite mineralisation by the time the proposed Esperance Port expansion is completed.

Johnston Range – Evanston Projects

Summary of exploration for June Quarter:

  • Maiden Resource estimate for Muldoon Prospect

  • 2 flora surveys completed to enable further drill testing

  • Drilling commenced at new Johnston Range prospects and to infill the Muldoon resource – 46 holes for 2,414m of RC drilling completed

  • Test ground electro-magnetic (EM) surveying programme completed

  • Ground truthing and reconnaissance mapping

Multiple hematite targets (generated through a combination of geological mapping and 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 during 2012 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 (Figure 3) 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.

Quarterly Activities Report

For the Three Months Ended 30 June 2012

RC drilling programmes completed in the last 6 months at the Muldoon prospect provided sufficient data to enable a maiden resource estimate to be undertaken in May. Modelling and mineral resource estimation by consultant firm CSA Global Pty Ltd (CSA) resulted in a JORC reportable Inferred Mineral Resource at a 55% Fe cut-off grade of 2.1 million tonnes at 57.6% Fe. At lower cut-off grades the mineralisation inventory exceeds 3Mt at 56% Fe.

Table 1 below provides estimates of tonnages and grades at different cut off levels.

The mineralisation outcrops as low ridges of hematite and goethite enriched banded iron formation (BIF). Mineralisation results from enrichment of the BIF and typically reaches a depth from surface of 30-40m before grading back into siliceous un-weathered BIF. The two sub-parallel zones of mineralisation making up the resource are approximately 60m apart, 10-30m wide and dip sub-vertically. The larger zone of surface hematite enrichment as defined by mapping is approximately 800m in length. The mineralisation is surrounded by deeply weathered mafic and ultra-mafic rocks covered by soils.

Quarterly Activities Report

For the Three Months Ended 30 June 2012

The resource estimation was completed using 54 RC drill holes mostly drilled between November 2011 and March 2012. The RC holes were drilled at nominal 100m line spacing with at least two holes per section. Assaying was completed on two metre intervals. QAQC protocols for sampling were employed as per industry standards.

Radar personnel assessed the QAQC data and validated the drilling data base and found no significant issues. An earlier assessment of the standard QAQC protocols employed by Radar had been undertaken by CSA Global provided confirmation that the QAQC protocols employed were appropriate.

CSA Global employed Micromine software to assess the data and model the resource. Ordinary Kriging was used for grade interpolation within a mineralised envelope based on geological logging and assaying results. Tonnage estimations assumed densities of 2.8 tonnes per cubic metre. The resource classification was assigned based on modelling statistics, density of drilling and surface continuity based on both outcrop and aero-magnetic surveys. The Mineral Resource estimate is reported in accordance with the 2004 JORC Code.

At a 45% Fe cut-off mineralisation is in excess of 3Mt at 56% Fe. While material of this grade is still potentially marketable it might be possible to add value by upgrading the resource. A metallurgical study has been commissioned to determine whether this mineralisation can be upgraded by relatively simple and low cost processes. Results for this are expected in the September quarter.

As the mineralisation lies on or at surface, extraction through shallow open pit mining is considered conceptually possible. A relatively low cost contract mining and crushing operation is envisaged, possibly where a period of campaign mining is followed by crushing to minimise the need for extensive site infrastructure. Road transport to the public access rail, 130km to the south, with export through the Port of Esperance remains the most likely path for transport. Further exploration work to establish additional resources and reserves is required to establish any case for mining operations. Discussions have commenced with various potential infrastructure providers with regard to road, rail and port access. These will progress during 2012.

The ASX release dated May 8, 2012 titled “Muldoon Maiden Resource’ contains further details of the process and mineralisation characteristics.

In June, Radar commenced a RC drill programme aimed at better defining the mineralisation at the Muldoon prospect and also to test other anomalous zones in the Johnston Range area. 46 RC drill holes for 2,414m was completed regionally in June at the Muldoon prospect and other targets.

The Muldoon results (Figures 5 and 6) contained the best assay intervals received to date from the Muldoon prospect and with the indication of 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. 28 RC holes for 1,316m were completed in June at the Muldoon prospect.

The Clark prospect was identified earlier in 2012 (Figure 7) and drill testing was completed in June. 16 RC drill holes for 966m were completed over a strike length of 500 m. Despite the encouraging surface sample results (averaging 59.5% Fe) no significant assay intervals were returned although enriched BIF ranged up to 50 m in down hole length. The prospect represents an area of partial enrichment of the BIF with significant intervals in the 45-50% Fe range. There is still potential for beneficiation of this material through standard processes and given its substantial size, the benefit of undertaking metallurgical test work to facilitate enrichment to an economic iron grade will be reviewed.

North of Muldoon, an 8 kilometre extent of multiple BIF outcrop with numerous zones of anomalous hematite enrichment has been identified. This area tends to have slightly steeper relief than other zones drill tested to date. Approvals have been received for earthworks, to allow drill pads to be established and drilling is planned for the following quarter. Similarly on the eastern limb of the Johnston Range syncline and on the Evanston tenements, a number of targets have been identified. Drilling is planned at these in the September quarter following regulatory approvals. Two RC holes were completed in this zone for 102m (at the easily accessible Shipley prospect) during the quarter with no significant assays returned.

Quarterly Activities Report For the Three Months Ended 30 June 2012

Seven RC drill holes were completed early in July at 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 located, 500m to the east of Muldoon (see Figure 5). This BIF unit has been mapped as extending over 500m. An earlier hole on this BIF – 300m north of the recent drilling returned lower grade but still anomalous assay results (hole RIRC092 – 12m at 50.5% Fe). These results are considered encouraging as they possibly represent a new trend of significant mineralisation outside the current Muldoon resource. Further drill testing will be undertaken in the September quarter. Other drill holes in the area intercepted separate BIF units with assay intervals of 14m at 53.5% Fe (RIRC247) and 8m at 56.7m (RIRC248). These BIF units require further testing.

At the end of June a drill programme was ongoing to test for extensions to Muldoon. Results received to date are shown in Table 2.

A test electro-magnetic ground survey programme was completed in the quarter – 61 line km of data was recorded from 5793 stations in the Johnston Range and Evanston areas. The aim was to identify whether this technique could be used to better define surface hematite anomalies for potential size and depth in order to assist in the prioritising drill targets. The results were inconclusive and the technique found to be slow in recording data. As a consequence ground magnetics surveys will be used in future to assist in prioritising drill targets.

Plans for the coming quarter include:

  • completion of the current drill programme (late July)

  • gaining drilling approval for new zones to be tested (both Johnston Range and Evanston) – drilling is anticipated in August/September

  • Ground magnetic coverage

  • Resource re-estimation for Muldoon, based on new drilling data

  • Initial resource estimation for any new zones of mineralisation

Quarterly Activities Report

For the Three Months Ended 30 June 2012

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 are expected in the September quarter.

An aboriginal mythological site application formerly covered the western part of the Die Hardy magnetite mineralisation. Following a successful Section 18 application process during the quarter by Radar, this site was removed from the register. As a consequence, drilling of this part of the potential resource now only requires the normal governmental approvals.

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. Details of the 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 has 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.

Ground magnetic surveying was completed over the Jackson Project area (Figure 2) area tracing and better characterising partially buried banded iron formation. 350 line kilometres of ground magnetic measurements were recorded (at 40m line spacing) in the area in June.

Interpretation of the geophysics data is expected to lead to the identification and prioritisation of anomalies that will be tested as approvals permit in 2012.

Corporate

During the quarter Radar announced the completion of a placement of 10 million new shares to a strategic Chinese investor. The placement, as announced on 5 June 2012, was completed at 33 cents, approximately 22% above the last traded price for Radar Iron’s shares at the time of the announcement, and raised $3.3 million before costs.

The funds have provided Radar with sufficient working capital to pursue aggressively its objective of rapidly defining additional hematite resources at its Central Yilgarn project and to commence the mine development process.

The placement was made to Shinewarm Resources (HK) Group Limited (“Shinewarm”), the Hong Kong based investment vehicle of the privately owned Xiamen Meize Xinyuan Trading Co. Ltd. The trading company supplies iron ore, coal and base metals to industrial partners located throughout China. For more information refer to the announcement made on 5 June 2012.

Radar’s cash position at the end of the quarter was $3.9 million.
