Disclaimer and JORC Code Compliance Notice
Forward Looking and Exploration Target Statements
Some statements in this announcement regarding future events are forward‐looking statements. They involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from estimated results. Forward‐looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s exploration programme, outlook, target sizes, resource and mineralised material estimates. They include statements preceded by words such as “potential”, “target”, “scheduled”, “planned”, “estimate”, “possible”, “future”, “prospective” and similar expressions. The terms “Direct Shipping Ore (DSO)”, “Target” and “Exploration Target”, where used in this announcement, should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources and Reserves as defined by the JORC Code (2004), and therefore the terms have not been used in this context. Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and it is uncertain if further exploration or feasibility study will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Reserve
Reference to resources
While Laconia Resources remains optimistic of the reserve /resource potential of its tenements any reference to “resource” or use of the term “ore” in this document is/are conceptual in nature. Further work is required to determine mineral reserves/resources.
JORC Code Compliance
Competent Persons Statement
Mr Darryl Mapleson who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy has compiled the information within this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves for the Mooletar Project. Mr Mapleson is a principal of BM Geological Services Pty Ltd and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity currently being undertaken 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 and consents to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which is appears in this presentation. “Note: The potential quantity and grade of the Mooletar Project is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient drilling to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.”
Basis of assumptions for the Mooletar Magnetite Project
For the purpose of the Engenium report, an accuracy of +/‐50% was adopted in estimating costs. Costs have been based on other projects of similar size, and include information from Engenium in‐house databases and/or cost factors derived from projects of similar size and scope. The results from the report are not future revenue or operating forecasts. The information from the report is intended only to provide an indication of the potential scope of the Mooletar Iron Project. The potential quantity and grade of the Mooletar Project is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient drilling to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.
Basis of assumption for Zinc Equivalent Grade, Lennons Find Project
The calculation and commodity prices used are as per Laconia’s ASX release October 3[rd] 2011. This was compiled by Mr Ernie Poole who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has compiled the information within this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves for the Lennons Find, Barramine, Yandicoogina and 701 Mile Projects. Mr Poole is a full time employee of Laconia Resources Limited and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity currently being undertaken 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 and consents to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears in this presentation. Resource quoted at Lennons Find as per Jabiru Metals Limited Annual Report 2010.

Lennons Find Base Metal Project (95% LCR)
-
High grade silver and zinc intersected at Bronze Whaler and Tiger prospects, and
-
High grade silver and zinc intersected outside the current resource at Hammerhead.
-
Significant near surface silver values at Lennons Find greatly enhance the project’s potential. At current commodity prices, equates to a Zinc Equivalent of grade 18% .

Mooletar Magnetite
-
Exploration Target of 216‐264Mt @ 30‐35% Fe.[1]
-
Engenium report identified the following key attributes of the project, including;
-
Concentrate grade exhibits low impurities (additional testing required to confirm this).
-
Project capable of producing Direct Reduction (DR) grade quality ore (70% Fe, <2% SiO2).
-
Deposit in close proximity to supporting infrastructure in the mid‐west region of WA.
-
Mineralisation identified along a 5.2 km strike at the Project.
