COMPETENT PERSON’S STATEMENTS AND DISCLAIMERS

Competent Person’s StatementsThe information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets is based on information compiledand reviewed by Mr Kerry Griffin, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Griffin has sufficient

i hi h i l t t th t l f i li ti d t f d it d id ti d t th ti it hi h h iexperience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he isundertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting ofExploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Griffin is the Technical Director of Haranga Resources Limitedand consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information, and information presented to him, in the formand context in which it appears.

The technical information contained in this announcement in relation to the JORC Compliant Resource for the BayantsogtDeposit has been reviewed by Mr Peter Ball of DataGeo Ltd, who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining andMetallurgy. Mr Ball has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration andto the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Codefor Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ Mr Ball consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based onfor Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves . Mr Ball consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based onhis information, and information presented to him, in the form and context in which it appears.

Exploration TargetsExploration Targets are conceptual in nature and should not be construed as indicating the existence of a JORC Code compliantExploration Targets are conceptual in nature and should not be construed as indicating the existence of a JORC Code compliantmineral resource. There is insufficient information to establish whether further exploration will result in the determination of amineral resource within the meaning of the JORC Code.

Flagship Selenge Iron Ore Project – Four Primary Targets→ Initial JORC Resource at one target (Bayantsogt)→ Large Additional Exploration Target at another (Dund Bulag)→ Close to existing rail and road infrastructure→ Next to Mongolia’s largest iron ore export mineg g→ Ability to access the massive market in northern China→ 32,000m second pass drill program commencing May 2012

L S ti M j I tLarge, Supportive Major Investor→ Lippo Group increased holding from 7.4% to 13.9% via $6m placement in March 2012→ Entire holding subject to a 12 month lock up period

Mongolian iron ore exports growing rapidly due to healthy margins and the market outlook remains strong

HARANGA HAS FOUR MONGOLIAN IRON ORE PROJECTS

Proximity to transport & infrastructure is vital to infrastructure is vital to access the northern Chinese market

Selenge and Shavdal projects are close to existing iron ore export

Selenge is the Company’s most advanced projectmost advanced project

All projects are targeting large magnetite deposits similar to those already mined in northern China

LOCATION MEANS INHERENT COST ADVANTAGE

This is a sustainable long term advantage into Chinese steel mills reliant on domestic magnetite ore and poorly served by seaborne imports.

THE SELENGE PROJECT LOCATION (Haranga: 80%)

Largest ground holding in Mongolia’s premier iron ore g pbelt 200km north of UB

Nearby to Eruu Gol mine (304Mt) and the Tumurtei (304Mt) and the Tumurtei (230Mt), Tumur Tolgoi (25Mt) iron ore deposits*

Eruu Gol iron ore mine:Eruu Gol iron ore mine:– Currently exporting 3 Mtpa– Planned expansion to 4.5 Mtpa

by end of 2012, and then y ,ultimately 8 Mtpa**

– CIC invested $700m to obtain ~35% of Eruu Gol in 2009***

Large project area, premium locationRelatively industrial region, well served by neaby rail infrastructure

ANALOG TO ERUU GOL – A BANDED MAGNETITE SKARN

Eruu Gol resource approx 304Mt

Located within a ‘magnetite hill’ hence low

New rail spur to the Eruu Gol Mine

Located within a magnetite hill hence low strip ratio, low mining cost

Banded magnetite skarn deposit hence i h f d l b fi i istraightforward, low cost beneficiation

Upgrading process is low capex (crushing, screening, dry magnetic separation)g, y g p )

Produces a 58-62% Fe magnetite concentrate from a feed grade of approx 35% Fe

ERUU GOL VALUATION:

Approx US$2.0 Bn based on 2009 CIC purchase (minimal

Eruu Gol iron ore mine production:– Currently exporting 3 Mtpa of concentrate– Expansion to 4.5 Mtpa end 2012

SUMMARY AND SELENGE PLAN

China mines well over 800Mt per year of iron ore, 19% Fe averagePrimarily magnetite mines output forecast to decline in grade and tonnes→ Primarily magnetite mines - output forecast to decline in grade and tonnes

→ Massive demand, high prices for Mongolian magnetite concentrate

B (BT) d D d B l (DB) d iBayantsogt (BT) and Dund Bulag (DB) are advancing→ Initial inferred resource at BT: 33Mt at 24.4% Fe→ Exploration target of 120 – 250Mt at DB→ Exploration target of 120 250Mt at DB→ Early high grade intersections at Huiten Gol, Undur Ukhaa remains to test→ Banded magnetite skarn, potential for straightforward beneficiation at a central site

L t d t t il i f t t d th i ti E G l t i→ Located next to rail infrastructure and the existing Eruu Gol export mine

12 Month Plan for Selenge Project→ 32,000m of drilling planned this year, commencing May 2012→ Thorough met test work program initiated; prelim Scoping Study by mid 2012→ $17m in the bank

22

→ $17m in the bank
