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.
The Directors of Black Fire Energy Ltd (Black Fire Energy) (ASX:BFE, BFEO) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a conditional Heads of Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in AICO Ado Ibrahim Mining Company Ltd (AICO).

Background to the Kogi State iron and steel industry
Kogi State is situated approximately 300km south-west by road from the Nigerian capital of Abuja. The State has abundant existing reliable infrastructure in the form of sealed roads and highways, and rail links to within 35kms of the Port of Warri. It also has connections to the national power grid, a 414 megawatt gas fired power station (within 50km of the project) and abundant water from the Niger River to support major mineral exploit ation.
Kogi State is also home to a large proportion of Nigeria's known iron deposits. These occurrences present as Banded Iron Formations (BIF) and oolitic ironstones and have been the subject of various geological evaluations over a period spanning approximately 50 years. Comprehensive data includes previous drilling, bulk sampling and metallurgical assessments which have identified significant non-JORC Code compliant hematitemagnetite mineralisation.
