    REPORT FOR DECEMBER 2007 QUARTER PRINCIPAL POINTS DIRECTORS RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS REJECT TAKEOVER OFFER BY ZINIFEX • Allegiance Mining NL received a take-over offer by zinc producer Zinifex Limited. • Allegiance Directors have recommended that shareholders reject the Zinifex offer. AVEBURY NICKEL PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION • Avebury nickel mine development and production are well advanced. 45,200 tonnes of run-of-mine ore has been delivered to the mill stockpile. Ore geometry and grades encountered to date are as expected. • Mill construction is at full pace and commissioning is scheduled to commence by end 1st Quarter 2008. The main buildings are complete and key plant components are installed; pipework and wiring has commenced. • Stage 1 of the project is designed to mill 900,000 tonnes of ore annually producing 8,500 tonnes of nickel (“Ni”) in concentrates. The business plan currently extends to June 2016 but the project is expected to expand production and extend its mine life because resources are continuing to expand each year. MINE AREA RESOURCES • Resources have expanded by 10% during 2007 and were reported in January 2008 at 14 million tonnes grading 1.04% Ni containing 145,600 tonnes of Ni at a 0.7% Ni cut-off grade. Ore Reserves are being revised based on the new, expanded resources and are expected to expand significantly. • Drill hole A217 intersected 4.0m @ 1.8% Ni from a thick zone of 18.0m @ 1.1% at East Avebury, confirming the high prospectivity for mine extensions east of the current mine area. • A new mine exploration target called North Viking has been discovered in the western part of the mine area.

Title of proposal 2021/8909 - South Marionoak Tailings Storage Facility, Rosebery, Tasmania Section 1 Summary of your proposed action 1.1 Project industry type Mining 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities The proposed action is the construction and operation of a new Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) at South Marionoak (SMO) in proximity to Rosebery, Tasmania within the West Coast municipality (South Marionoak TSF). The South Marionoak TSF will form part of the MMG Rosebery mine operations and will allow for piping and disposal of tailings resulting from the processing plant. The proposed South Marionoak TSF will provide long term essential tailings storage for the Rosebery Mine. Rosebery Mine has operated continuously since 1936 as an underground polymetallic base metal mine with a capacity to produce up to 1,100,000 tonnes of ore per year. Rosebery produces zinc, copper and lead concentrates, as well as gold ore. The mine has used the Bobadil TSF, situated approximately 2.5 km north of the mine, and 2/5 Dam TSF situated approximately 1 km south of the mine. The TSFs are expected to reach capacity within the next few years, and a new TSF will be required to support the mine’s ongoing operation. The South Marionoak TSF has been designed as an off-stream facility with storage volume of approximately 25 Mm3 and an anticipated lifespan of around 42 years (based on current tailings production rates).

AHL are completing a development application (DA) to the West Coast Council for a permit to operate the mine. FIGURE 1 LOCATION Project Description The proposed mining and processing operation is a simple one and similar in operation to a large quarry or other small/medium size iron ore mines in Tasmania. The Tenth Legion magnetite deposit is located approximately 2.5 km NW of the existing Comstock mine and processing plant site. It is a skarn iron ore deposit that is amenable to a small open pit mining, with other nearby deposits also possible for mining in the future. The project will involve two open pits to recover a direct shipping ore (DSO), oxide and fresh iron ore at a mining rate which will recover approximately 3.5 Mt of ore over a five year period producing about 3 Mt of product.
