IRON ORE STORY NOT OVER – Strongly driven by Urbanisation in the developed world
Source: Metalytics, AUSIMM Iron Ore 2105
World Steel Production
1. Asian countries outside China and the Rest of the World will take up the slack on steel growth in the medium-long term future
2. Current price unsustainable3. Future is high grade, low impurities = lower pollution, better furnace efficiency
SA Explorers Presentation - Magnetite Mines Limited -Mawson Iron Project
THE MAWSON IRON PROVINCE IS POSITIONED TO BECOME THE NEXT FORCE IN IRON ORE
1. Potentially the largest undeveloped magnetite project in the world
2. Metallurgy has shown Braemar Iron Formation concentrate can produce high grade > 67% Fe1, with low impurities, which is where the future of iron ore will be
3. Project can compare with Pilbara DSO for OPEX costs4. South Australia is the right place to build a major resource
project

WHY REBRAND ROYAL RESOURCES TO MAGNETITE MINES?
1. Provide focus being the Mawson Iron Province 2. Magnetite is the future in iron ore3. First phase of a amalgamation of assets 4. Be part of a South Australian wave of innovation

MAWSON IRON PROVINCE LARGEST UNDEVELOPED MAGNETITE PROVINCE IN THE WORLD
• Consortium has over 4500km2
of tenure• Magnetite Mines exploration
potential of 16 to 35 Billion tonnes1
• Lodestone also with large exploration potential
• Studies2 to determine viability of 100 Mtpa for 25 years +
1 ASX Announcement 29/10/2015. Note that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration willresult in the determination of a Mineral Resource. The estimate of an exploration target tonnage should not be construed as an estimate of Mineral Resource.2Conceptual Feasibility Study has been completed by the Lodestone Group for the Braemar Iron Project, which shows the the proposed Infrastructure Solution achieve a capacity of up to 100 mtpa. The Company advises that this conceptual feasibility study is not based on any assumptions of actual use of the Ito a infrastructure Solution by the Company or any other users in the Braemar region with the exception of the Braemar Iron Project.

RAZORBACK AND IRONBACK HILL DEPOSITS –JORC2004 RESOURCE OF NEARLY 4 BILLION TONNES1
WITH POTENTIAL TO GROW
1 The Mineral Resource information for the project was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2014 and the informationhas not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis the information has not materially changed since it was last reported;.

CONCENTRATE FROM THE BRAEMAR IRON FORMATION WILL BE A SUPERIOR STEEL MAKING PRODUCT
• Concentrate grade of >67 % Fe1 compared to a large portion of Pilbara production at ~62% or less
• Deleterious impurity level will be very low (P < 0.02%, Al304 < 0.5%, S <0.001%)
• Reductions in pollution and improved energy efficiency in the Furnace need high grade magnetite
1ASX announcement 27/11/2013
SA Explorers Presentation - Magnetite Mines Limited -Mawson Iron Project
METALLURGY AND BENEFICIATION • 38 to 45 μm grind sizes, coarser than WA magnetite• Standard magnetite processing flowsheets was designed during the
Razorback PFS1
• Low rock hardness and abrasiveness = lower energy budget • Optimisation underway -
o viability of 25 Mtpa concentrate1
o SAG mill v high pressure grindingo Hydroseperation to remove final impurities
1There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised

RAZORBACK DEPOSIT– RESOURCE INCREASE IS REQUIRED FOR INCREASED PLANNED OUTPUT FOR 25 YEARS +
SA Explorers Presentation - Magnetite Mines Limited -Mawson Iron Project
INNOVATION – THE KEY TO LOW COST
• Target OPEX of < US$30 in the first quarter of the cost cost curve, thus ensuring survival even at the bottom of the commodity cycle
• Utilising known technologies in an innovative approach to bulk mining and transport will reduce cost
• Magnetite Mines will apply innovation in the areas of:1. Mining2. Beneficiation3. Transportation of magnetite concentrate4. Port
