6 CZR – Project Locations
7 Yarraloola Project Potentially the next significant Iron Ore project in the Pilbara • Nine contiguous tenements totalling 1,400 km2, the largest non listed company held land package in the Pilbara Archean Hamersley Province. • Marra Mamba Formation, Wittenoom Dolomite and Brockman formation Iron Ore occurrences dominate eastern half of the project area. • Significant geological work completed, including a close spaced aero magnetic survey, stream sediment sampling, rock chip sampling and geological mapping identifying numerous drilling targets. • Magnetics indicate substantial strike length of key iron ore formations – Brockman (26 kms) and Marra Mamba (29 kms). • Over 231 surface samples return high, anomalous Fe results (> 40%). 44 Samples > 55% Fe. • No drilling on tenements to date.
8
Yarraloola Project – Observations
• The most Northwestern occurrence of the Marra Mamba formation.
• Approximately 30 strike kilometres of Marra Mamba formation thought to be prospective for DSO quality Fe.
• Widespread iron alteration in the upper most unit of the Marra Mamba formation has been mapped and sampled.
• A Northeast-Southwest trending and southwesterly plunging synclinal structure approximately 5 kilometres in width has been mapped in the northern portion of the project area.
• Extensive Brockman Formation magnetite BIF indicated throughout southern portion of tenements.
Note: Yarraloola Project tenements are closest to coast of any Marra Mamba formation within the prolifically iron ore rich Hamersley Basin, and on strike from many major mines
10 Yarraloola Project – Infrastructure • Adjacent to North West Coastal Highway • 120 kms southwest of Karratha and Port of Dampier • Robe River Railway and Dampier- Bunbury Gas Pipeline traverse tenements • Proximity to Dampier-Bunbury Gas Pipeline • Proposed Railway for the Australian Premium Iron (“API”) JV to proposed Anketell Port traverses tenements • Established regional service centres adjacent to tenements such as Panawonica
11 Yarraloola Project- Region
• Rio Tinto, Mesa A and Mesa J mines (Robe River) immediately south • Sino Iron project, 50 kms to the north. Approximately 5 Bn tonnes of magnetite. • API JV developing mines 10 to 60 kilometres to the south. Includes 160 km heavy haul railway and new port at Anketell Point approved for development. • Fortescue Metals intends to connect their proposed central Pilbara railway to the port at Anketell Point with plans to ship an additional 40 m tpa of ore. • Zanthus granted rights to CID deposits to Red Hill Iron Ore Ltd (RHIO) in one Zanthus tenement (E08/1685). RHIO have identified an inferred resource of 71M tonnes of ore at 54.1% Fe.
12 Yarraloola Project- Comparative
• Yarraloola Project • West Angelas Deposit • A synclinal structure (~ 5kms x 4 kms) • Opened in 2002 – “...marra mamba outcropping DSO quality Fe on top of reserves, regarded as the next generation Marra Mamba formation of Australian iron ore” Rio Tinto • Main minerals are martite and geothite – • Located in synclinal structure (~ 1.5 kms x typical of Marra Mamba ore 0.5 kms) within Mt Newman member at • Near Surface Mineralisation – 44 surface top of Marra Mamba formation samples grading > 55% • Main minerals are martite and goethite • 120 kms to Cape Lambert Port • Near surface mineralisation • JORC reserves in excess of 400Mt @ 61.7% Fe • Annualised production rate of ~ 25M tpa (based on 6 months to June 30 2011) • 320 kms to Cape Lambert port by rail
13 Exploration Targets
NB: Proposed drilling targets based on >50% Fe surface samples. 14 AREA 3
15 Area 4
16 Yarraloola - Summary
• Analogous geology to West Angelas operating mine – but with significantly larger synclinal structure • Significant target geology completed confirming all major Fe formations present • Drilling to commence in May 2012 • Significant potential infrastructure including both rail and port • Close proximity to shipping ports and world class iron ore mines
17
King-X Project Early Exploration Manganese Project – Kalahari Basin Analogue
King-X Project tenements located in the Earaheedy Basin of WA which is situated approximately 100 Kms Northeast of Wiluna
Advanced geological sampling and mapping completed showing significant Manganese outcropping
Rock chip samples – 82 with grades > 30% Mn and 25 with grades > 40% Mn
18 King-X Project
The tenement package is contiguous over the Manganese rich horizon with approximately 120 kms of strike length
Identification of palaeo lake beds and palaeochannels with Fe rich pisolite gravels showing prospectivity for CID’s
Epithermal style quartz indicating prospectivity for gold and base mineralisation
19 King-X Summary
Kalahari basin in South Africa has a similar scale, age and formation history to the Earaheedy Basin in WA. The Kalahari basin is home to 50% of world’s known Manganese resource and produces 80% of the World’s high quality Manganese.
Earaheedy basin has the potential to host significant Manganese deposits.
King – X tenements are located 300kms from the rail head at Malcolm (near Leonara) and Manganese ore could be processed on site and transported by road to Malcolm and by rail to the ports of Esperance or Fremantle.
Substantial package of contiguous tenements with numerous high grade Manganese samples throughout.
20 Buddadoo Project VMS Magnetite Project in WA’s emerging mid west province
The Buddadoo project is located approximately 425 km north of Perth and 180 km east of Geraldton
Exploration to target a massive titanomagnetite deposit
The tenement E59 /1350 which contains the Buddadoo complex is approximately 8.6 kms long and 2.4 wide.
Assays up to 54% Fe, with best drill intersection of 108 metres @ 32.9% Fe and
12.1% TiO2
Also contains results of 3.15 metres @ 3.8% Cu and 3.4% Zn. Rock chip samples containing malachite with up to 20% Cu
21 Buddadoo Project Infrastructure
The Buddadoo project has proximity to infrastructure with the rail siding at Morawa approximately 70 km to the South West. The Morawa to Yalgoo road which is currently being upgraded, intersects the tenements provides trucking access.
22 CZR – Exploration Budget
• 1 Preliminary drilling on Yarraloola Project $500,000 • 2 Pilbara Heritage and Site access development $400,000 • 3 Infill drilling (JORC) on Yarraloola Project $9,000,000 • 4 Preliminary drilling on King-X Project $800,000 • 5 Infill drilling (JORC) on King-X Project $4,500,000 • 6 Follow up drill program on Buddadoo Project $500,000
This is a preliminary estimate only based on a capital raising of $20m and will be adjusted as geological results merit.
The first drill program on the Yarraloola project is forecast to enable 80 RC drill holes to be completed.
