6. 2012 Directions
WE WILL INCREASE OUR FOCUS ON:
Cloncurry IOCG prospects;
Drill testing now starting
Actively generating new geophysical targets
New JV farm-in agreements will be sought
Continue to aggregate the Cloncurry footprint
other IOCG opportunities - being reviewed
Gold project development opportunities, where supported by
JORC resources and prospectivity
new Base metal Joint Venture farm-in agreements
7. 2012 Directions
WE WILL CONTINUE TO REALISE VALUE THROUGH ASSET LEVERAGE:
Build value in our suite of industrial minerals assets through
resource upgrades and end-product definition
Divestment of industrial minerals assets when an attractive RoI
can be achieved (eg: Kaolin, Gypsum, Halloysite)
Encourage consolidation of Braemar Iron Formation magnetite
projects in the Mutooroo area, or
sale of the Muster Dam JORC resource to a downstream
consumer or major project investor, after finalisation of Scoping
