PILBARA IRON ORE PROJECT 100% +110 MILLION TONNE JORC COMPLIANT RESOURCE OF DIRECT SHIPPING MARRA MAMBA IRON ORE OUTLINED AT THE RAILWAY PROSPECT HIGHLIGHTS: • The Directors are pleased to announce that the Company has outlined a substantial high grade direct shipping Marra Mamba iron ore (DSO) deposit at the Company’s Railway Prospect.
• The high grade DSO resource shows very low levels of impurities. • The deposit is near surface, shallow and has a low strip ratio of approximately 1:1 or less. • The Railway Prospect is extremely well located with respect to existing infrastructure. Two Rio Tinto railways lie within three kilometres of the deposit, and a BHPB railway is within twenty five kilometres. • The recently reported Rio Tinto ground breaking deal with another ASX listed iron ore junior to enter into mine gate sales has potential to provide a rapid path for UMC mine development along similar lines. Rio Tinto has publicly advised that the key criteria for a similar deal would be the quality of the ore and proximity to infrastructure. UMC has both. • The Company’s preferred development plan is for a production rate of 5mtpa and 10mtpa.
