STRATEGY
AGGREGATE iron projects through corporate action
EXPLORE to increase tonnes and assess metallurgy
DEVELOP hub for processing of satellite deposits
TRANSPORT via existing & new infrastructure
MARKET product to European & Asian customers
5
To implement the business model made successful by FortescueMetals Group (large cap), Atlas Iron (mid cap), BrockmanResources (mid cap), FerrAus (small cap) and ex-WarwickResources (micro cap) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia
Aggregate a meaningful land position through acquisition, jointventure and application in world class iron province - convert irondeposits with minimal historic drilling into JORC resources andultimately mining

Extract from ASX release dated 15 November 2010
The mineral resource estimate for Rakkuri (Rakkurijoki and Rakkurijärvi) is effective from 1st October, 2010 and hasbeen prepared by Mr Thomas Lindholm, MSc of GeoVista AB, Luleå, Sweden acting as an independent “CompetentPerson”. Mr. Lindholm is a fellow member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Member #230476).Mineral resources of the Rakkuri iron deposits have been prepared and categorised for reporting purposes by Mr.Lindholm, following the guidelines of the JORC Code. Mr Lindholm is qualified to be a Competent Person as definedby the JORC Code on the basis of training and experience in the exploration, mining and estimation of mineralresources of gold, base metal and iron deposits.
The Rakkuri database includes 121 diamond drillholes totalling 21,672 metres drilled between 1960’s and 2006. Thedatabase includes 3,241 Fe assays. Drill core sample lengths vary between 0.18 and 15.65 metres with 87% of thesections being 2m or shorter (average 1.58 metres). All assays were composited to 5m for use in the interpolation.Approximately 50 of the above mentioned drillholes have been assayed with a method (ALS ChemexME-ICP61a) that tops out at 30% Fe, intended instead to optimize base metal and gold assays. Of thetotal inferred resource reported below, a portion of 13 Mton, averaging 26.4% Fe, are largely defined bythose holes. Judging by analyses available from other holes in the same zone it is considered likely thatre-assaying those holes would yield an average grade considerably higher as well as a higher tonnagesince the specific gravity is highly grade dependent.

Convert SGU deposits into JORC compliant

Greenfields iron targets JORC Exploration Target Test greenfields exploration targets that have no diamond drilling
Exploration is being planned, managed and reviewed by independent consulting firmGeoVista. The brief to GeoVista is to complete sufficient drilling to achieve the internaltonnage and grade goals (subject to funding, permitting and weather) and to enable JORCcompliant statements (Inferred) to be published for various Company deposits as soon aspractical after interpretation of results.

COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENT
The information in this report that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Mrs Amanda Arrowsmith,Consulting Geologist, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mrs Arrowsmith is a consultant to Scandinavian Resources Ltd. Mrs Arrowsmith has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and typesof deposits under consideration and to the activity which has been undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the “Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mrs Arrowsmith consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Notes(1) ASX has granted a waiver in relation to the reporting of non-JORC compliant foreign estimates. Waiver disclosures in accordance with ‘ASX companies update 11/07’ are contained in ASX release dated 28 June 2010. (2) Includes attributed tonnes assuming Scandinavian Resources Ltd meets earn-in commitments in accordance with the Tasman Metals Ltd joint venture. (3) The prospects which comprise the exploration target have been subjected to diamond drill testing, ground geophysics and interpretation by the Geological Survey of Sweden reviewed by Mrs Amanda Arrowsmith and Mr Thomas Lindholm. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.(4) JORC Resources of 66.4 Mt & Historical foreign estimates of 31.5 Mt.
