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.

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
2009 CIC purchase (minimal production and no rail spur at the time)

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
