atlas delivers first iron ore to port

Atlas Iron Limited (ASX Code: AGO) is pleased to report that it has delivered the first iron ore from its 100%-
owned Pardoo Iron Ore Project, to the Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) Anderson Point Port facilities in Port
Hedland, marking a significant milestone for Atlas Iron.
Mining is currently underway at the Pardoo Project, located 75 kilometres east of Port Hedland in the Pilbara
of Western Australia. Ore is currently being hauled to Port Hedland on the Great Northern Highway in quadconfigured
road trains.
As agreed with FMG, the Atlas iron ore will be stockpiled in FMG’s stockpile area and then reclaimed and
loaded onto a Panamax (65,000 tonne) ship provided by Atlas’ iron ore off-take customer in early December.

This delivery of iron ore to the FMG Port Hedland facilities and the subsequent use of the FMG ore handling
and ship loading equipment, represents the first-ever provision of a true third-party infrastructure service in
more than 40 years of iron ore mining in the Pilbara.

"The Pardoo Mining team led by Ken Brinsden and Jeremy Sinclair and managed by Adam Liebenberg and
Mathew Ramsden, have achieved commissioning and ramp-up on budget and on time", commented David
Flanagan, Atlas Managing Director. "They are part of a terrific group of professionals and I can’t wait to see
what they can accomplish in the years ahead."
