KEY HIGHLIGHTS
JANUARY 2008
• Hamersley project a JV between FDL and Prenti Exploration Pty Ltd (May
2003). FDL bought 50% for $50,000 cash. FDL now earning 100%
equity and Prenti retaining a 5% net profit royalty
• FDL agrees with FMG (March 2005) to swap commodity rights on
Hamersley project tenements with FMG taking iron ore rights (1% FOB
royalty) and FDL taking diamond rights (no royalty) – E47/882 not
included
• Plus 325 Mt iron ore target defined close to FMG’s 1.7 Bt Solomon
Project Area and Rio Tinto’s 0.9 Bt Caliwingina North deposit
• FDL decides to Change Name to Flinders Mines Limited and commence
iron ore exploration – diamond exploration to continue as a secondary
activity
• Decision to drill out iron ore target to JORC inferred resource status by Q4,
2008 – at budgeted cost of $8 million

FLINDER’S DIAMOND EXPLORATION
Flinders Diamonds has embarked upon new diamond exploration on
the highly prospective Gawler Craton where the Craton is thickest
and more prospective for diamonds.
The Gawler Craton program will use experience from Flinders
Ranges with airborne magnetics, to locate kimberlites under shallow
sedimentary cover.
Within the Gawler Craton well over 60 additional targets with
kimberlite type magnetic signatures have been identified.
In the Flinders Ranges a recent helimag survey has identified 18
new kimberlites during the year – three being diamondiferous. This
brings the total kimberlites found to well over 110 in the last few
years, of which 25% are diamond bearing.
New helimag surveys over the northern Flinders Ranges have
identified magnetic anomalies indicative of kimberlite type bodies.
On Flinders Island the integration of REPTEM survey data, with very
abundant diamond indicator results within Tertiary sedimentary cover
is being used to generate new drill targets for buried kimberlites.
The Budget for 2008 is AUD $3million, with another AUD $3million
proposed for 2009 which includes using a DMS (Dense Media
Flinders Diamonds project areas Separation) plant to test kimberlites.

CONSULTANT’S CURRENT REVIEW
DR RICHARD RUSSELL
• New air photo mapping complete
• Mapping gives more detail on CID and DID systems
• DID systems are generally smaller and thinner than
previously thought
• CID areas slightly larger and more complex than
previously thought
• Exposed CID in river bank in Area A
