IRON SAND MININGEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview of PT. TIMUR RAYA MAS
1. The IUP covers two large concession: 710 Ha and 7,378 Ha
2. Measured deposit in explored area: 69 million tonnes
3. Inland and offshore concession. 25 km coastline length
4. Offshore potential for Iron Sand and Heavy Minerals
5. Mining permit: IUP Operasi Produksi for 20 years
6. CNC (Clear and Clean) certified from ESDM (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources)
7. Low operating cost to achieve profitable margin.
Resources• From the exploration of the 710ha there is measured deposit of 18
million tonnes
• From exploration of 4 blocks in the 7378Ha concession there is a measured deposit of 51 million tonnes.
• The offshore potential has yet to be explored
• The Fe content of the concessions range from 12% to 25%
• With simple beneficiation the Fe content can be increased to >50%. Grinding of the concentrate increases the iron content to 55 -58% by breaking off the pyroxene ( Aluminium Sulfate and Silica ).
• From the deposit resource, it is more than sufficient for 30 years of mining.
Company Vision To realise the value of Indonesia’s
abundant natural resources to establish an Indonesian steel industry using 100% local raw
materials: We will be:
The supplier of choice to the growing Indonesian Steel Industry
and the
The Indonesian supplier of choice to the Asian metals industry
Establishing a Steel Industry in Indonesia • The origins of the world steel industry can be traced
back to the early 1800’s and the development of the Bessemer and Blast Furnace processes in Europe
• The processes were established to process local Haemetite iron ore
• Indonesia has a limited Haemetite resource but an abundant, low cost local iron ore in the form of iron sand
• The development of iron making processes to consume iron sand commenced 150 years ago in New Zealand and UK
• The commercialisation of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technology has created the opportunity to develop a steel industry based entirely upon local iron sand

Phased ImplementationTwo critical elements drive the implementation Strategy: Financing, Sourcing of a fuel / reductant
Financing Fuel / Reductant Source
Following the Global Financial Crisis the tightening of rules and regulations governing financial markets has impacted project structure1. Projects are required to be broken down into value
chain components financed on a stand alone basis2. Detailed engineering design is now required prior
to finance approval thus requiring significant funds to be raised prior to Project finance e.g. The DRI Definitive Feasibility study will now cost $20 to $40 million.
3. Issuing of government, licenses and permits are conditions of funding e.g. Construction permits, Environmental permits, Export permits etc
1. Choice of DRI technology is dependent on the choice and availability of the fuel / reductant source
2. The DRI process uses either natural gas or coal as the fuel / reductant
3. The process is a chemical reaction which uses Hydrogen and carbon to remove oxygen from the ore
4. Significant coal reserves in Indonesia make coal the obvious choice, however small changes in coal chemistry have a significant impact on the operation of the DRI process
5. DRI plants are designed for a minimum 25 year life6. Ideally the process requires the same coal from the same
coal seam for the life of the plant. This requires a long-term commercial contract from a large seam (>30 million tonnes)
7. If consistent coal quality can not be guaranteed, coal gasification may be required
8. Clean natural gas provides a consistent reliable fuel source

Iron Ore Price and Relationship to Iron sand
10
The full cost of iron ore to the Steel companies reflects international ore plus freight rates:
The International Iron sand price standard has been established by New Zealand Steel indexed against the 62% Iron ore index:•Ironsand CIF price=(Index price/62)*X*Y
-. Where X= iron content of ironsand Y= % Discount
e.g: Assuming today’s 62% index price $65/t and 55% Fe ironsand concentrate:
=(65/62)*55*0.85= $49/t CIF
Assume shipping rates $10/t, realised price ex barge: $39 /t
F/Cast 62%Fe long-term $80/t applying ironsand formula = $50/t ex barge

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) - Overview
◦ DRI or Sponge Iron is a source of iron units demanded by Electric Steelmakers. It allows them to produce higher specification steel grades than is possible with conventional steel scrap
◦ Global DRI production of >80 million tonnes has been growing at a steady rate, mostly in regions where cheap natural gas is available
◦ It is estimated that 75% of the worlds DRI is produced via gas based technologies
◦ Coal based plants make up the balance
◦ The Middle East countries are major uses of the DRI process using cheap abundant natural gas and imported iron ores to supply the regions growing steel demand
◦ DRI production in the USA, led by Steel market leader Nucor, is increasing rapidly on the back of cheap natural gas and the surge in shale gas extraction in Canada
◦ India is the largest producer of DRI with >35million tonnes of capacity, 70% using coal based technology
Process Overview• The Iron Sand resource is similar to the deposits in New Zealand which are beneficiated for export, and also processed in New Zealand to finished steel products by New Zealand Steel
• The mine beneficiation process comprises of magnetic separation and grinding to produce iron concentrate
•The iron making process will use DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) technology similar to that used by New Zealand Steel
• The technology can be supplied by a number of international specialist companies
• Flow chart of processing :
Mining Beneficiation DRI Steelmaking
• Coal or Natural Gas is required for the DRI process
Examples of DRI Technologies
