THE ERUU GOL EXAMPLE: BANDED MAGNETITE SKARN DEPOSIT

Eruu Gol resource is approx 300Mt

Eruu Gol iron ore mine production:Currently exporting 2 5 Mtpa of concetrate

New rail spur to the Eruu Gol Mine(just 20km from Bayantsogt)

– Currently exporting 2.5 Mtpa of concetrate– Plan to expand to 6 Mtpa by end 2012

Located within a ‘magnetite hill’ hence low t i ti l i i tstrip ratio, low mining cost

Banded magnetite skarn deposit hence straightforward, low cost benefication ERUU GOL VALUATION:g

Upgrading process is low capex (just crushing, screening followed by dry magnetic separation)

F d d i 34% F d i

$1.5Bn based on the 2009 CIC purchaseThis valuation made when Feed grade is approx 34% Fe, product is a

62% Fe concentrate (without the need for high cost grinding or wet magnetic separation)

This valuation made when production was just 0.5Mtpa and before their rail spur was built

Low Cost – High Margin Overburden Removal at Eruu Gol

Grade and nature of the Bayantsogt mineralisation is

19

y ganalagous to nearby Eruu Gol

SUMMARY

China mines 800Mt per year of iron ore, 19% Fe average→ Primarily magnetite sent to mills with pelletising plants→ Primarily magnetite, sent to mills with pelletising plants→ Domestic output forecast to decline in grade and tonnage→ Massive demand, high prices for Mongolian magnetite concentrate→ Mongolian mines have high valuations due to high margins, strong outlook

First target at Selenge highly promising→ All holes successful thus far, mineralisation open in all directions→ Multiple, wide mineralised iron lodes→ Banded magnetite skarn potentially suitable for low cost beneficiation→ Banded magnetite skarn, potentially suitable for low cost beneficiation→ Aiming for maiden resource by Q1 2012

H R ll iti dHaranga Resources well positioned→ Three more highly prospective targets to explore nearby in Selenge→ $16m in the bank
