Mauritania and Iron Ore Exports

• Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière de Mauritanie (SNIM) is upgrading the

handling infrastructure at Nouadhibou port, mechanising the maintenance of the railway

and building a new iron ore tanker harbour all of which are completed and due to be

opened in June 2012.

• Nouadhibou, the deep water port, is connected by railway to the iron mines in Zouerate,

675km to the east. 717km total of single track owned and operated by SNIM. Freight

trains on this railway can be as much as 3km long, reputedly the longest in the world by

the Guinness Book of Records.

792 - Kaoua el Khadra is 45km southeast of the town of Akjoujt. Akjoujt is 160km south

of the railway line at its closest point and approximately 300km east, by rail, of the port

of Nouadhibou.

791 – Cetal lies 50km south of the railway line and 135km east, by rail, of the port

of Nouadhibou. • 1974 the Mauritanian government restructured the mining industry as part of a plan to

establish economic independence and SNIM formed, a government agency and the

national iron ore company.

• Exporting to France, Italy, India and China. For

Permit 792 - Kaoua El Khadhra 792

Kaoua El Khadhra is a prospective magnetite iron ore asset located in the West African

country of Mauritania. It covers a total area of 960km2.

The positive outcome of a first pass ground magnetic survey on the western end of the 792

Permit completed by SEMS Exploration has confirmed the potential for an exploration target

of approximately 2.4 to 2.6 billion tonnes (Bt) at an average grade ranging between 28%

and 32% Fe of iron ore, in the form of magnetite Banded Iron Formations (BIF) over a 80km

strike line*.

SEMS Exploration commenced a second round of fieldwork in February 2012, comprising

infill geophysics over selected sites within Permit 792 and structural mapping of outcropping

BIF. The occurrence of BIF, as mapped by the British Geological Survey on their 1:200,000

scaled geological maps, has been verified and SEMS have identified several other BIF

occurrences on the eastern side of the Permit not previously published on these geological

maps including a 71km strike line of Fe BIF.

The results of the second round of fieldwork are expected to produce a more detailed

geological map of Permit 792 as well as identifying and setting a drill target program. We

have currently commenced discussions with prospective drilling contractors. On completion

of the drilling program the results will be compiled in a JORC compliant report for release to

the market identifying quantity and quality of the mineralisation for both hematite and

magnetite.

12

* The Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient work completed to define it beyond exploration targets, and it is uncertain if further exploration will

result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. This is a conceptual exploration target which provides an indication of the potential in terms of tonnage and grade.

Recent Mauritanian Iron Ore Transaction

Xstrata plc is one of the world’s largest global diversified mining businesses and Sphere

Minerals Limited is an ASX listed company with iron ore assets in Mauritania, West Africa.

From July 2010 to December 2011 Xstrata plc through its subsidiary Sidero Pty Ltd acquired

87.8% of Sphere Minerals Limited through an off market takeover bid at a total cost of

$558m.

In Sphere Minerals 2010 Annual Report the Summary of Mineral Resources as at 30

September 2010 in Mauritania showed 3.273Bn tonnes of iron which equates to cost of

$0.17 per tonne of iron ore.

The well regarded business and investment journal “The Eureka Report” reported in March

2012 that “The biggest story in iron ore is not that prices might be ‘toppish’, thanks to

slowing Chinese demand, but rather a remarkable re-rating of iron ore reserves.”

The Eureka Report states that undeveloped iron ore resources, until very recently, was

valued at about $1 a tonne but will now be valued at a range between $4 to $5.79 a tonne.

The Eureka Report 28 March 2012 article can be viewed in its entirety on our website

(www.charpac.com.au/?page_id=1033).

Exploration Targets

The exploration targets presented are conceptual in nature and relates to defined exploration areas where outcrops and geophysical anomalies

have been identified but mineralisation has not been delineated. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource in these

areas and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Charter Pacific has an exploration strategy to systematically test these areas to determine if Mineral Resources are present.

Information in this presentation that relates to mineral resources is based on previous announcements made by Charter Pacific (or other relevant

parties) to the ASX.

This presentation does not constitute financial product advice (nor investment, tax, accounting or legal advice) and has been prepared without

taking account of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs.

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by David Selfe, who is a Member of The

Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM). David Selfe is employed by Saewulf Geologica. Mr Selfe has sufficient experience

which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the 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’. Mr Selfe consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
