ASX Announcement October 2013 ASX Announcement PORT SPENCER General Manager 29th October 2013 The Company Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange Electronic Lodgement System Dear Sir/Madam FINAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL RECEIVED FOR PORT SPENCER Highlights • Federal government environmental approval granted for Port Spencer export facilities • Conditions set by Federal Government for development • Completes one of the final conditions required in the provisional Development Approval granted by the State Government in December 2012 • Road transport and construction related approvals remain • Federal and State Government approvals required for Fusion magnetite project pipeline route, processing plant and mine that underpins port development Summary Centrex Metals Limited (“Centrex”) has moved a significant step closer in its development of the Port Spencer export facility on the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia having received final Federal Government environmental approvals. The approvals were received from the Department for Sustainability, Environment, Water, ASX Announcement — October 2013 Populations and Communities (“SEWPaC)” and come under the Environmental Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act (“EPBC Act”). The EPBC Act approvals cover all onshore and offshore facilities required for shipping access and the export of grain and iron ore. These Federal Government approvals also include a desalination plant to provide process water to Centrex’s proposed magnetite iron ore mines in the region. The desalination plant still requires State Government approval prior to development. EPBC Act approvals for Port Spencer complete one of the final conditions of the provisional Development Approval received from the South Australian Government in December 2012. Road transport and construction related approvals remain should the project move into execution. A separate EPBC Act referral is currently in progress for the Fusion magnetite mine, process plant and pipeline corridor, the flagship project of Centrex’s joint venture with Wuhan Iron & Steel (Group) Co. (“WISCO”). The development of Fusion located just 40km southwest of Port Spencer will underpin the port’s development, and provide the project and other proposed mines in the region an efficient and low-cost route to market. Execution of the Port Spencer project will be dependent on Fusion or other such significant customer for its development. Centrex’s magnetite joint venture with Baotou Iron & Steel (“Baotou”) at Bungalow, and its own Wilgerup hematite DSO project are also located roughly 100km north and northwest of Port Spencer respectively.

Centrex provided the additional information required and made this available for public comment. SEWPaC today provided approval of the development with conditions for the construction and operation of the port including; • Development of a Southern Right Whale management plan, including keeping accurate records and regular reporting to the Federal Environment Department • Exclusion zones and under water noise level limitations for piling and blasting • Development of an oil spill contingency plan • Participation in the Spencer Gulf Ecosystem Development Initiative (“SGEDI”) to develop a comprehensive and informed decision support system for future development For further details on the conditions please refer to http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/epbc/epbc_ap.pl?name=current_referrals;limit=90 Fusion EPBC Act Referral Eyre Iron Pty Ltd (“Eyre Iron”) the management company of Centrex’s magnetite joint venture with WISCO, submitted a voluntary referral under the EPBC Act for its flagship Fusion project’s mine, processing plant and pipeline corridor. A slurry pipeline will run the length of the 40km pipeline corridor to transport iron ore concentrate from Fusion to Port Spencer. On 22nd August SEWPaC confirmed that the proposed action is deemed a “controlled action” under the EPBC Act due to potential impacts on threatened species listed under section 18 & 18A of the act. The method of assessment has been determined as “preliminary documentation” and a list of additional information required was provided by SEWPaC. This list will be combined with guidelines expected from the South Australian Government as part of the eventual development application and mining lease applications for Fusion. Baseline environmental and related studies for Fusion are ongoing.

    AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE General Manager 15 September 2011 The Company Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange Electronic Lodgement System Dear Sir/Madam “PORT SPENCER” ADOPTED AS FORMAL NAME FOR CENTREX’S PROPOSED DEEPWATER PORT IN SA. • Port Spencer to replace former interim name of “Sheep Hill” for the Centrex deep-water bulk commodities export port northeast Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Centrex Metals Limited (“CMX”) is pleased to announce that “PORT SPENCER” will be the formal name for the Company’s proposed deep water marine port development on South Australia’s eastern Eyre Peninsula. Port Spencer, to be located between Tumby Bay and Port Neill on Eyre Peninsula, has been referred to by Centrex during initial planning for this new export focused infrastructure, as “Sheep Hill”. This reflected as an interim measure, the closest land mark in that coastal area as identified on marine charts. While “Sheep Hill” as a port site has become widely known, Centrex has been seeking a name that more appropriately in the longer-term, represents the port development’s significance to the region. Port Spencer will be a multi-user facility catering for the export of dry bulk commodities, including iron ore and grain. Centrex has initiated with the State Government, the process for formally assigning the new name to the port. For personal use only CENTREX METALS LIMITED | UNIT 1102, 147 PIRIE STREET, ADELAIDE SA 5000 | PH: +61 8 8100 2200 ABN 97 096 298 752 Centrex is exploring for and developing magnetite iron ore projects across Eyre Peninsula in separate partnerships with two of its major shareholders, Baotou Iron & Steel (Group) Company Limited (Baogang) and Wuhan Iron & Steel (Group) Co (WISCO) and in its own right for the Wilgerup hematite mine.

Forwarded by email: 26th October 2012 Submission to: Approvals & Wildlife Division Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts RE: Centrex Metals Limited/ Transport-water/Within the Spencer Gulf approx 210 north west , Adelaide/SA port Spencer Stage 1 and 2, Eyre Peninsula SA Reference Number 2012/6590 BACKGROUND Centrex Metals is seeking approval to construct and operate a port, Port Spencer, approximately 70 kilometres north of Port Lincoln, adjacent to the Lipson Island (Cove) Marine Conservation Park. Stage 1, the construction of the Port, has been the subject of a State Government PER, the response to which (at the time of writing) has yet to be released. I note a draft response is included in the Company’s application. Stage 2 of the proposed project involves the construction and operation of a 20 gigalitre desalination plant. This proposal has yet to be subjected to an environmental impact assessment. Centrex has made numerous references to the fact that the Port is to be a multi-user port. Indeed Eyre Grain is an actual partner in the venture. It is interesting to note that NO environmental impact assessment has been undertaken to determine any environmental impacts with respect to this use on the marine and terrestrial environments, yet approval is being sought to proceed , regardless.
