Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward looking statements concerning the projects owned by Iron Road Limited. Statements concerning mining reserves and
resources may also be deemed to be forward looking statements in that they involve estimates based on specific assumptions. Forward-looking statements are
not statements of historical fact and actual events and results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements as a result of a
variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Forward looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, opinions and estimates as of the dates the
forward looking statements are made and no obligation is assumed to update forward looking statements if these beliefs, opinions and estimates should
change or to reflect other future developments. Data and amounts shown in this presentation relating to capital costs, operating costs and project timelines are
internally generated best estimates only. All such information and data is currently under review as part of Iron Road Limited’s ongoing development and
project studies. Accordingly, Iron Road Limited cannot guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the figures or data included in the presentation until the
project studies are completed.
Competent Person’s Statements
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on and accurately reflects information compiled by Mr Larry Ingle, who is a fulltime
employee of Iron Road Limited and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Ingle has sufficient experience relevant to the style of
mineralisation and the type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004
Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Ingle consents to the inclusion in the report of
the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources is based on and accurately reflects information compiled by Mr Iain Macfarlane and Mr Alex
Virisheff, both of Coffey Mining Ltd, who are consultants and advisors to Iron Road Limited and Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
Mr Macfarlane and Mr Virisheff have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of deposits under consideration and to the activity
which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results,
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Macfarlane and Mr Virisheff consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the
form and context in which it appears.
Exploration Targets
It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to
exploration targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or
Reserve(s) have not been used in this context. Any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to
define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Overview – What is CEIP?
Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP)
•   Large scale magnetite iron ore project,
    on Eyre Peninsula
•   Second largest resources project in
    South Australian history (after Olympic Dam)
•   PFS indicates robust project economics
•   DFS assessing production scenarios +20Mtpa
•   Sinter product – expect a premium of up to
    30% over Pilbara fines benchmark pricing

Moving ahead
•   DFS underway
•   Includes assessment of third party and
    independent port and rail options
•   Mineral Resource expansion, conversion and geotechnical drilling
                                                                       3

DFS Scenarios to Reflect Resource Potential
PFS ‘base case’ of 12.4 million tpa, based on
the 1.2 billion tonne Mineral Resource
announced in February 2011
   • Global Mineral Resource at CEIP currently
     stands at 2.1 billion tonnes, of which 1.11 billion
     tonnes is in the Indicated category 1
   • Expect to add 700-900Mt in next Mineral
     Resource upgrade
   • CEIP exploration target range of 2.8-5.8 billion
     tonnes 2
Additional Mineral Resources will substantially
increase project value.
Production rates of +20 million tpa being
assessed in DFS work, commensurate with
mineral resource growth
                                     Note 1 – Refer to Competent Persons Statement on page 2. Note 2 – The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is
                                     conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define the prospects as anything beyond exploration target. It
                                     is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource, in cases other than the Boo-Loo and Murphy
                                     South prospect.                                                                                                            5

21 June 2012 - SACOME Breakfast Briefing

  • 1. South Australia’s Largest Iron Ore Project SACOME Breakfast Briefing, 21 June 2012
  • 2. Disclaimer Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward looking statements concerning the projects owned by Iron Road Limited. Statements concerning mining reserves and resources may also be deemed to be forward looking statements in that they involve estimates based on specific assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and actual events and results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements as a result of a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Forward looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, opinions and estimates as of the dates the forward looking statements are made and no obligation is assumed to update forward looking statements if these beliefs, opinions and estimates should change or to reflect other future developments. Data and amounts shown in this presentation relating to capital costs, operating costs and project timelines are internally generated best estimates only. All such information and data is currently under review as part of Iron Road Limited’s ongoing development and project studies. Accordingly, Iron Road Limited cannot guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the figures or data included in the presentation until the project studies are completed. Competent Person’s Statements The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on and accurately reflects information compiled by Mr Larry Ingle, who is a fulltime employee of Iron Road Limited and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Ingle has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Ingle consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources is based on and accurately reflects information compiled by Mr Iain Macfarlane and Mr Alex Virisheff, both of Coffey Mining Ltd, who are consultants and advisors to Iron Road Limited and Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Macfarlane and Mr Virisheff have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Macfarlane and Mr Virisheff consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears. Exploration Targets It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to exploration targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserve(s) have not been used in this context. Any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. 2

DFS Scenarios to Reflect Resource Potential PFS ‘base case’ of 12.4 million tpa, based on the 1.2 billion tonne Mineral Resource announced in February 2011 • Global Mineral Resource at CEIP currently stands at 2.1 billion tonnes, of which 1.11 billion tonnes is in the Indicated category 1 • Expect to add 700-900Mt in next Mineral Resource upgrade • CEIP exploration target range of 2.8-5.8 billion tonnes 2 Additional Mineral Resources will substantially increase project value. Production rates of +20 million tpa being assessed in DFS work, commensurate with mineral resource growth Note 1 – Refer to Competent Persons Statement on page 2. Note 2 – The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define the prospects as anything beyond exploration target. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource, in cases other than the Boo-Loo and Murphy South prospect. 5
