warrant or guarantee, expressly or impliedly, that the information in this document and presentation is complete or accurate. To the maximum extent permitted

JORC and Competent Person Statement
Information herein relating to Exploration Results, Resources an d Resource Targets is based on information compiled by Ian Levy BSc MSc who is a Fellow of The
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Levy is employed by ABx as Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Levy has more than five years experience relevant to the styl e of mineralisation and type of deposit being reported and to th e 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’ (the JORC Code). This report is issued with the prior written c onsent of the Competent Person as to the form and context in whi ch it appears
.
Exploration Target Statement
ABx has an exploration target of 200 to 300 million tonnes of ba uxite, based on Mineral Resources announced in mid 2010 of 35 million tonnes of bauxite at
Inverell 4,5 from 15% to 20% of the known bauxite deposits on Exploration Lea se EL 6997 in northern NSW and 25 million tonnes of bauxite at Taralga 1,2,3 from
approximately 50% of the bauxite targets on Exploration Lease EL 7357 in southern NSW . In accordance with the JORC Code, readers are advised that the “
potential quality and grade is conceptual in nature, that therehas been insufficient exploration to define full Mineral Resources and that it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource” As first pass drilling has proceeded across most of its tenements, ABx has seen no reason to
. -
vary its exploration target.

Direct Shipping Ore
In this presentation all references to direct shipping ore ( DSO ) refers to the company ’s exploration objective of defining DSO grade mineralisation.
The potential quantity and grade of exploration targets is conce ptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to defi ne a Mineral Resource
and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the de termination of a Mineral Resource.
