Investor PresentationJogjakarta Iron Sands Project
Overview of Iron Sands Project
Large & well tested (to JORC Standard) Iron Sands Mineral Resource in Java, Indonesia, equivalent 65 Mt of IronProject NPV of $505M with projected net cash flows of $185M per annum and operating cost of $190 per tonneTargeting sales of concentrate commencing in mid 2008, generating $30M net cash flowsFurther substantial upside in project life, scale and operating costsBankable Feasibility Study for Project due for completion in mid 2008Significant Indonesian demand for end product (currently 100% imported) hence strong Government and Industry support for the project to proceedExcellent Local Infrastructure – power, water, rail, portProven Technology being applied (used by Bluescope in NZ since ‘86)Regional Licence approved, Contract of Works in progressIn partnership (70/30) with strong and well connected local Indonesian GroupExperienced Board and Management with proven project developmentskills in the iron ore sector

• 605 million tonnes of magnetite bearing sediment grading 10.8% Fe, which equates to an equivalent contained iron of 65 million tonnes
• Of the global resource, there is 273 million tonnes of magnetite rich surface sand down to 7 metres grading 14.2% Fe, sufficient for over 30 years of mining
• Global resource based on 929 holes for a total of 14,468 metres of air core drilling
Project Summary
LocationMineralisation occurs on the surface, allowing for low cost resource estimation and mining. The deposits are located close to key infrastructure:
• Railways• Gas reserves• 500,000 kva power line• Transport infrastructure
These factors should see a reduction in the capital costs of a potential development and shorten overall construction time
TechnologyThe deposit is similar to the iron sand deposits that have been mined and processed by Bluescope Steel in New Zealand over the last 30 years - it is anticipated that mining and down stream processing at Jogjakarta will be based on this same simple and proven technology
OwnershipIndo Mines earning 70% of Project, currently owns 30%On completion of the BFS Indo Mines interest will increase to 70%

Scoping Study Results
Scoping Study completed in April by ProMet Engineers1 Million tonne per annum of pig iron productionNPV of $505M @ $362/tonne ($795M @$435/tonne) Projected annual cash flow of $185M with operating costs of $190/tonne$30M per year cash flow from early sales of concentrate, mid 2008 start upCapital cost of $700MURS reports no high risk Social or Environmental IssuesPig Iron production within 3 years
Upsides being consideredAlternative Hot Metal processing could see costs reduced by $30 per tonneIncrease Concentrator Size to produce sufficient product for both pig iron and concentrate saleDownstream expansion to Specialty Steels from liquid pig iron

Indonesian Development
Contract of Works (CoW) application now in progressPerformance Bond paidPrinciple Regional Licence granted Letter of support obtained from local regionsNo determined forestry issuesNegotiations are under way
Heads of Agreement with Krakatau Steel has been signed100,000 tpa of pig iron product for 15 yearsIndonesia’s largest steel producer( >2 mtpa)Delivery to commence in 2010
There is strong interest for ferrous product from Indonesia as they currently import 100%, also interest from other regional steel producers
