    This deposit, as Jim concluded, is part of the 19Mt @ 62.8%
    Fe reported by Goldsworthy.

    Q. Strip ratio?

    A.Well just have a look at how many high grade, low
    impurity holes commence from surface!!!

    Q. Dewatering issues?

    A. What water?

    13Mt @ 60% CaFe is what I recon and if only the higher
    grade was mined, we would have at least 9Mt DSO. That would
    have been adequate to supply DSO to CRM for 3 years at 3Mt/pa.

    • It could have also been UMC's start-up mine whilst
    Railway was being developed.

    • It could have been blended with Camp Hill West or Jocelyn.

    • It could have but never will, because Barry was unable to
    discover anymore "high grade iron....that warrant detailed
    follow up drilling".

    Right under his nose, and like Camp Hill West failed to
    deepen some holes as recommended by his predecessor.

    This is what Jim had to say about Camp Hill:

    "1. Given that the Camp Hill area will move towards mining
    (presumably by BHPB) at some point, UMC is now in a strong
    position to do a deal on our portion of the mineralised
    body for a co-operative joint mining operation.

    2. UMC can move towards defining a resource with a view to
    a small stand alone mining operation delivering high grade
    ore that could be blended with mineralisation from other
    mining operations on lower grade, higher tonnage prospects
    UMC has close by (Jocelyn ?).

    3. Ore swapping has been done in the past for mutual
    benefit. Camp Hill is an asset that may assist UMC in
    acquiring an advantageous ore block elsewhere.

    UMC believes that the Camp Hill Prospect is now an
    important strategic asset in the Project and strongly
    complements the defined mineralisation on other nearby prospect areas."
