re: fortescue metals joins cullen resources FORTESCUE METALS GROUP JOINS CULLEN RESOURCES TO
EXPLORE FOR MARRA MAMBA AND BROCKMAN FORMATION
BEDDED IRON ORE IN THE WEST PILBARA
Cullen Resources Ltd (Cullen) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (FMG) for FMG to earn up to an 80%
interest in the iron ore rights on a group of Cullen’s tenements in the West Pilbara Region,
incorporating a total tenement area of ~ 460 sq km.
The tenements, E08/1393, E47/1154 and ELA’s 47/1649 and 1650, include significant
extents of the Marra Mamba and Brockman Iron Formations which are the prime targets for
iron ore. These formations host the adjacent Metawandy deposits of Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd
(see Figure), for which an Inferred Resource of 225Mt @ 62.1% Fe has been reported.
Principal terms of the MOU are:
• FMG commits to spend a minimum of $150,000;
• FMG may earn 51% interest in the iron ore rights by sole funding total expenditure of
$1M within three years of the grant date of the last EL application;
• FMG may earn a further 29% interest in the iron ore rights if it sole funds an additional
$1M and pays Cullen a Resource Payment. This Resource Payment shall be the greater
of $500,000 and an amount calculated as 3 cents per tonne of any JORC-compliant
resource with a minimum grade of 62%, delineated by FMG. The Resource Payment is
capped at $1,050,000;
• Cullen’s residual interest(49% or 20%) shall be free carried to Decision to Mine (DTM);
and,
• At DTM, FMG shall negotiate in good faith a financing package to facilitate Cullen’s
participation in the mining development. If Cullen does not participate it shall receive a
1.5% FOB Royalty on the first to 15M tonnes of ore.
Cullen’s Exploration Director, Dr Chris Ringrose, commented that both Cullen and FMG
hold tenements over the target formations and a joint venture with FMG, which is
developing a major iron ore resource base in the region, would allow the most cost effective
and efficient exploration of the iron formations in the area.
