IRON ORE - INDIA

BINDING AGREEMENT FOR JOINT DEVELOPMENT OF GREENFIELD STEEL PLANT

During the quarter, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Wei

Hua Group Co Ltd, China’s leading heavy equipment crane building company for the

establishment of a steel making plant in Andhra Pradesh.

The MOU progressed and was then superseded by the execution of a Binding Agreement for

Joint Development as both parties consolidate their understanding and establish the

conditions precedent and other activities to be carried out until the execution of final

Shareholder and operating agreements for the proposed project.

The transition to a binding agreement further strengthens the relationship between the

Company and Wei Hua, and demonstrates Wei Hua’s commitment to investing in the Indian

economy and importantly, the progress made by the Company to date in India.

Wei Hua Group Co Ltd, with revenues in excess of US$1 billion in 2015, has already acquired

significant parts of the future steel making plant, with the remainder to be purchased as

required, based on Indian progress. Wei Hua is looking to diversify its revenue stream, both in

location and source generation (Reference http://www.weihuagrp.com/).

Wei Hua views the Indian economy as one of the most attractive up and coming investment

opportunities in the world. India is expected to become the world's second largest producer

of crude steel in the next 10 years, moving up from the third position, as its capacity is

projected to increase to about 300 MT by 2025 from 81 MT in 2013-14. Huge scope for growth

is offered by India’s comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise

in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and

railways sectors.

In addition to this, Wei Hua also sees significant value in what NSL has been able to achieve

in India, as the only foreign company to own and operate iron ore mines and also with the

significant progress made by the Company and the Andhra Pradesh Government (GoAP) as

part of the existing joint MOU.

Blast furnace shell

As announced previously the Company has signed an MOU directly with GoAP, whereby

GoAP will facilitate the provision of necessary assistance for the Company to grow its Andhra

Pradesh mining, beneficiation and value addition activities to in excess of 8 million tonnes per

annum of iron ore production; such assistance includes land acquisition, adequate

infrastructure development and attractive incentives as per the policies / rules and

regulations of the State Government.

In addition, the GoAP will support the Company’s participation in significant projects in

Andhra Pradesh, wherever feasible. Such participation may include providing advisory

services, setting up manufacturing facilities, Infrastructure development, R&D and

Implementation support. The Company can support the development of infrastructure in

Andhra Pradesh, considering the Government’s focus on promoting manufacturing and

industrialization in the state and facilitating a conducive investment environment.

One key enabler to the execution of the MoU was the GoAP committing to the development

of the Orvakallu Mega Industrial Hub, located in the Kurnool District some 30 km from NSL’s

existing operations. The 28,000 acre hub will include access to water, power, rail and road.

The site is also proposed for one of AP’s four greenfield airports outlined in the strategic

infrastructure plan for the State. The Company will be proposing utilising this industrial hub as

a foundation for the agreement with Wei Hua Group, and continues to leverage the GoAP

MOU, with discussions on providing the approvals for the land, power, water and other utilities

for the steel project already commenced.

The Wei Hua Group also brings strong ties into the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).

The AIIB is a newly established international financial institution that aims to support the

building of infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region. The bank has 37 member states and was

proposed as an initiative by the government of China. The capital of the bank is $100 billion,

equivalent to 2⁄3 of the capital of the Asian Development Bank and about half that of the

World Bank.

Key Terms of Agreement

The joint venture Company will be established with a 50/50 shareholding and importantly, NSL

is not required to fund any aspect of the Joint Venture.

NSL shall provide reasonable assistance to Wei Hua for the feasibility studies, including the

latest market research on the Iron and Steel industry in India which will assist in determining

the size and scale of the proposed steel plant project.

Initially, NSL shall conduct a study to understand the governmental approvals, licences,

consents, no-objections etc. required from statutory, governmental and other authorities

under the laws of India for the proposed project, setting up of the JV, and commencement

of the preliminary activities for the project. This will be undertaken in consultation with Wei

Hua and NSL shall seek reasonable assistance from Wei Hua.

Next, NSL shall commence the preliminary activities for obtaining and providing the legal and

regulatory approvals, accessing available land for the proposed project and shall take all

appropriate steps towards the supply of supplementary materials and human resources for

the proposed project

NSL shall be responsible for the operations, commercial marketing and sale of the steel

products from the proposed project, on an exclusive basis.

Wei Hua shall carry out its feasibility for the steel market in India from a technical, financial

and legal perspective, with reasonable assistance from NSL where sought by Wei Hua.

project.

The binding agreement is valid for a period of 12 months from the commencement date, or

as extended by the parties in writing; or either party may terminate this agreement by giving

a notice of 30 days to the other Party.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ANDHRA PRADESH GOVT

During the Quarter, the Company further progressed actions pertaining to the Memorandum

of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) for collaboration in

the mining, beneficiation and value addition of low grade iron ores that are abundant in the

State.

Over the past 12 months the Company has executed agreements with both the GoAP and

the Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation (APMDC), the State owned enterprise

charged with maximising utilisation of mineral resources.

The scope of the MoU is to define a collaboration between the Company and Andhra

Pradesh, whereby the Company will work with APMDC in the reconnaissance and exploration

for minerals in the State. The Company has also agreed to provide state of the art testing,

process flow development and technology for the setting up of value addition plants such

as beneficiation and pellet plants for low grade iron ore located in the State of Andhra

Pradesh, an endeavour which the APMDC has agreed to assist.

To develop this MoU further both parties have been conducting detailed legal and technical

reviews of potential target projects within the State. This work is expected to accelerate

during the coming months.

Key Facts

During a World Bank survey in 2015 Andhra Pradesh was rated as #2 state in India for ease of

doing business.

The 15-year business plan sees an expected 14% growth rate projected out to 2029 for the

State, based on an aggressive infrastructure program including airports, ports, highways and

a new greenfield Capital City located at Amaravati.

The State has implemented a dedicated single window process for investments and projects,

with a guaranteed 21-day approval timeframe for all state permissions.

Two major initiatives that will impact on the State are the Vizag – Chennai and Bangalore –

Chennai infrastructure corridors. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supporting the AP

Govt in the development of the Vizag - Chennai corridor. The $900 m project will have $700

m funded by the ADB and $200 m to be provided by the State Govt. This linkage is part of the

much larger Pan Asia land bridge connecting India to China and South East Asia.

AP 26 & 27

As previously announced, the Company was able to support its important wet beneficiation

production expansion plans by gaining access to additional mining leases, designated AP26 and

AP27, through a Run of Mine (ROM) royalty based agreement.

The Company entered into a Heads of Agreement (HOA), binding on the Lessee, whereby the

Lessee agrees to grant the Company exclusive operation and management rights over the

subject mining assets for a period equal to the length of the Mining Lease and any extensions

thereto.

AP26 and AP27 are mining leases of a combined 100 acres. They are located in the district of

Kurnool, and importantly only 1.5 kms and 9 kms from NSL’s existing stockyard and its beneficiation

plants.

AP26 and AP27 are located in the same geological basin as the NSL owned Kuja and Mangal

mining leases and as such, the geology and beneficiation characteristics are similar in nature and

contain a significant quantity of iron ore material amenable to NSL’s processes.

During the quarter, the Company continued to develop the recently secured AP26 and AP27

projects. The Company has been engaged in a detailed legal and technical due diligence

program on both projects, which has included conducting geomagnetic surveys and surface

sampling of both projects.

Work will continue into the next quarter, with the Company anticipating final agreement

documents to be executed on successful completion of the due diligence program.

The AP26 and AP27 projects represent opportunities both to enhance the current wet plant

project and allow for significant future growth plans.

AP26 and 27 pit workings

AP 14 MINING LEASE

During the quarter, the Company continued to work with the Indian Government to progress

the grant of AP14 through Delhi. Specifically, the Company made detailed representations

to the Prime Minister’s Office Project Monitoring Group (PMG) during a planning workshop

held in Hyderabad.

Upon approval from the Central Government the Company will then be able to undertake

further exploration activities, including drilling operations on the lease. Work continues on the

development of the exploration program scope, including pre work on preferred supplier

sourcing.

CORPORATE

ARBITRATION AWARD

As announced on 20 August 14, the Arbitration between its wholly owned subsidiary, NSL

Mining Resources India Private Limited (“Claimant”) and Mega Logistics and Solutions

(“Respondent“) has now been concluded, with the arbitrator giving the award entirely in

favour of the Claimant.

The award given was for approximately A$250,000 which is related to unrecovered advances

(plus interest) paid to Mega Logistics and Solutions for the provision of transport and related

services.

During the quarter, the Company continued to further progress the recovery of the award.

SUPREME COURT WRIT OF SUMMONS

As announced on 16 February 2015, the Company received a writ of summons in relation to

a Coal Acquisition Agreement dated 15 June 2011 with Birmanie Nominees Pty Ltd (the

vendor under the agreement, Birmanie) relating to 4 coal EPCs in Queensland.

The writ alleges that NSL has failed to meet various obligations under the Coal Acquisition

Agreement. Birmanie has claimed $2.5m in damages.

NSL has subsequently lodged its defence, in which it vigorously denies Birmanie’s Claim. The

Company is of the view that Birmanie is not entitled to the damages sought or to any other

damages.

During the quarter, in line with the view above, the Company continued with the litigation

process.

MAGNA A$5M SENIOR SECURED LOAN

As announced on 13 August 2015, the Company entered into a conventional secured

funding loan agreement totalling A$5 million to allow the construction, commissioning and

operation of its Phase Two wet beneficiation plant, while also availing the recommencement

of the existing Phase One dry beneficiation plant at its wholly-owned Kurnool iron ore

processing stockyard.

Magna has previously provided loan support for NSL’s iron ore growth strategy in India.

As at 30 June 16, the Company had utilised A$1,100,000 towards its operations/development

and general working capital.

During the quarter, the Company continued loan repayments in accordance with the terms.

POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS

The Company continued to progress opportunities for either outright acquisition, royalty

based acquisition and/or joint venture farm in structured agreements over multiple projects

in India. These assessments remain ongoing.
