ASX Limited 28 May 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF IRON ORE, DOLOMITE AND LIMESTONE
PROJECTS IN KOGI STATE, NIGERIA
Transaction Highlights:
· Black Fire Energy to acquire advanced package of iron deposits in Kogi State,
Nigeria.
· Package contains six projects containing magnetite style mineralisation. Potential
for hematite mineralisation also exists.
· The Company's exploration target is 400-600 million tonnes of potential iron
mineralisation grading between 15-65% averaging 30-36%. The potential quantity
and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to
define a Mineral Resource under the JORC Code and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
· Potential access to existing beneficiation facilities at Itakpe as well as
transportation via an existing railway to Warri Terminus, 24km from the port.
· Project proximity to existing rail, road and power infrastructure to limit CAPEX
requirements and fast track project development.
· Availability of substantial historical geological data generated by the Geological
Survey of Nigeria and National Steel Raw Materials Exploration Agency
(NSRMEA).
· Alliance with the Sovereign Ruler of Ebira Kingdom, Kogi State, Nigeria, HM
King Dr Ado Ibrahim, provides access to further mineral opportunities within
Kogi State.
· Favourable political and regulatory environment for foreign investment. New
Minerals and Mining Act introduced in February 2007.
· Development of limestone and dolomite resources as feedstock to the Ajaokuta
Steel complex and extension as feedstock to existing cement production.
