    SUMMARY OF ANNOUNCEMENT

    High grade hematite mineralization delineated at Mount Bevan Iron Ore Project.

    DETAILS OF ANNOUNCEMENT
    High grade hematite mineralisation has been delineated in several areas over at
    least 8km at the Mount Bevan Iron Ore Project (formerly known as Four Corners Iron
    Ore Project). The project, on exploration licence 29/510, is located approximately
    100km west of Leonora in the central Yilgarn of Western Australia (Figure 1).
    Two prominent Banded Iron Formations run NNW over 20km of strike length through
    the Company’s project area. The outcrops of hematite mineralization are consistently
    located within a zone along the eastern margin of the western Banded Iron Formation
    ridge. Previous work by an independent consultant has reported iron grades from the
    same zone at an average of 61.8% Fe from 6 samples which covered 4km strike
    length within the Company’s tenement. Further detailed mapping and sampling is
    required to define the subsurface extent of the outcropping hematite.
    On the southern margin of the Mt Bevan project, Jupiter Mines Limited yesterday
    reported a 2.2 million tonne inferred resource @ 60.6 % Fe, 3.1% Al2O3, 7.7% SiO2,
    0.05% P and 2.4% LOI at the Mt Mason project. This inferred resource lies in the
    same hematite zone along the margin of the western Banded Iron Formation ridge of
    which over 20km strike length lies within the Company’s exploration licence. Notably,
    hole MMRC108, which occurs on the southern boundary with the Company’s
    tenement recorded one of their best intersections of 18m @ 61.44% Fe which
    confirms the deposit thickens to the north.

    An aeromagnetic survey was conducted for the Company by Fugro Survey in
    October 2006. The magnetic images clearly show the continuation of the mineralised
    package into the Company’s ground (Figure 2). The data confirmed the +20km strike
    length of the highly prospective Banded Iron Formation and will be used in conjuction
    with detailed mapping and sampling to plan the initial drill program which will be
    required to delineate the Mt Bevan hematite iron ore deposit as soon as possible.
    Yours faithfully
    PETER LEE
    Company Secretary
