    11th July 2014 QUEENSLAND BAUXITE ACQUIRES STRATEGIC STAKE IN NSW BAUXITE PROVINCE  QBL to hold key mineralisation in regionally strategic NSW bauxite project  This acquisition further expands QBL’s bauxite portfolio across Eastern Australia – with significant large scale bauxite mineralisation already identified  In discussions with neighbouring tenement owners  South Johnstone project remains main focus The Board of Queensland Bauxite Limited (ASX:QBL) (“QBL” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire a significant portion of a known gibbsitic bauxite province in the Nullamana region of Inverell in northern New South Wales.

This acquisition fits the criteria. QBL has agreed to purchase First State's 50% interest in the tenement and will have clear and unencumbered title of its 50% interest with the issue of 37.5 million ordinary shares in the
