MAWSON IRON PROJECT
March 2017
DISCLAIMER AND COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT
3
South Australia - well
located politically and
geographically to serve the
global steel industry
MAWSON IRON
PROJECT
4
• Existing infrastructure
• Sheltered port sites
• Deep water at any tide
• Available workforce
• Supportive government
• Large magnetite potential
MAWSON IRON
PROJECT
5
OUR SIMPLE AMBITIONS
• Largest magnetite resources
• Largest magnetite concentrate producer
• Highest quality magnetite concentrate
• Lowest cost magnetite delivered to steel mills

MAWSON IRON PROJECT
LAND HOLDING
• Largest undeveloped magnetite
province in the world
• Consortium has exploration license
area of 3,922 km2 - major tenement
holder in the region
• Aeromagnetic surveys and outcrop
mapping demonstrate > 200 km of
strike length of magnetite–rich
Braemar Iron Formation
7
MUCH SOFTER THAN OTHER MAGNETITE ORES
• Braemar Iron Formation is modestly metamorphosed
siltstone - NOT a banded iron formation
• The soft ore is less than half the rock strength and
crushing strength of banded iron formations
• This means lower cost in mining, crushing and
milling
Mawson Pilbara
Bond work index 9 kW/t > 24 kW/t
Crushing work index 10 kw/t > 16 kW/t
Compresive strength 80 Mpa > 200 Mpa

JORC RESOURCES
- 4.6 BILLION
TONNES
• Razorback
• Ironback Hill
• Red Dam
1 ASX Announcement 11/06/13 - The Mineral Resource information for
the project was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code
2004 and the information has not been updated since to comply with
the JORC Code 2012 on the basis the information has not materially
changed since it was last reported;.2 Mineral Resource Information for the Olary Magnetite project based
on JORC Code 2012 Inferred resource produced by Mr. Simon Tear of
H&S Consultants in September 2016 for Lodestone Equities. Mr Tear is
a Member of the AusIMM having sufficient experience which is relevant
to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration
and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent
Persons as defined in the December 2012 edition of the “Australasian
Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves” (JORC Code). Results shown to demonstrate the extent or
resources for the SA Magnetite Consortium. Magnetite Mines Ltd.
takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the results as displayed.

RAZORBACK - 2.7 BILLION TONNE JORC RESOURCE
Outcrop at Razorback
1 ASX Announcement 11/06/13 - The Mineral Resource information for the project was prepared and
first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 and the information has not been updated since to comply
with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis the information has not materially changed since it was last
reported.

RAZORBACK RESOURCE - FAVOURABLE MINING CONDITIONS
Characteristics Benefit
Simple layer cake geology Simple mine design
250 to 500 metres thick ore body, > 10km long Very low stripping ratio
Outcropping No pre-strip
Simple geology at Razorback Simple orebody model at Razorback
11
RAZORBACK HIGH QUALITY CONCENTRATES
• Extensive testwork confirms the high quality of
concentrates
• This quality can be sustained over the mine
lifetime

IRONBACK HILL - 1.2 BILLION TONNE JORC RESOURCE
• Similar to Razorback geology
• Resource continues to the NE
1 ASX Announcement 21/11/12 - The Mineral Resource information for the project was prepared and first disclosed
under the JORC Code 2004 and the information has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012
on the basis the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
13
RED DAM - 0.6 BILLION TONNE
JORC RESOURCE
• High concentrate grade -
DTR shows 71% Fe
• Resource continues to the
west - exploration potential 4
- 7 billion tonnes
1 Mineral Resource Information for the Olary Magnetite project based on JORC Code 2012
Inferred resource produced by Mr. Simon Tear of H&S Consultants in September 2016 for
Lodestone Equities. Mr Tear is a Member of the AusIMM having sufficient experience which
is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the
activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Persons as defined in the
December 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results,
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Results shown to demonstrate the
extent or resources for the SA Magnetite Consortium. Magnetite Mines Ltd. takes no
responsibility for the accuracy of the results as displayed.

RED DAM - DR QUALITY CONCENTRATES
• Sighter metallurgical testwork confirms excellent DTR
results
• Concentrate grades suggest suitable for direct
reduction pellet making

Olary Magnetite – Concentrate production results from 60kg of representative diamond core samples1
15
PELLET FEED & SINTER BLEND STUDIES
• Testing by CISRI of Razorback ore
indicates that very strong and highly
reducible pellets can be made from
100% MGT concentrate
• Grade higher than average grade of
Chinese Domestic Pellets
• Studies continue on pellet optimisation
and sinter blend additions
16
TARGET MARKETS
• Direct Reduction Pellet Feed – no real
competition from big four – premium
market
• Blast Furnace Pellet Feed - Grade
higher than average grade of pellet
feed. Impurity levels much lower –
replacement market
• Sinter Blend component to blend down
P and other deleterious contaminants –
iron ore mainstream market
17
LOWEST CFR COST CONCENTRATES
Sustainable, low cost delivery chain configuration
• Ultra high powder factor blasting
• In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC)
• Intelligent comminution and concentration
• Slurry pipeline transportation of concentrate
• Offshore iron ore port in deep water (+25 m)

• Fully mobile in-pit crushing
and conveying (IPCC)
replaces conventional truck
and shovel
• Ore body geometry and
characteristics facilitate
application of this mining
method
• Up to 1/8 cheaper than
conventional mining
IN-PIT CRUSHING AND CONVEYING

RAZORBACK DEPOSIT – SIMPLISTIC BENEFICIATION
High powder factor blasting
+ In-Pit Crushing
Convey to ROM
Tertiary Crusher + HPGR
Hydraulic Classifier 3 stage LIMS Ball Mill to 38 micron> 68% Fe Concentrate
Rougher LIMS
