Corporate StrategyRapid exploration and resource definition for iron ore

o Identify, define and develop iron ore resources in the Central Yilgarn district of Western Australia

Focus on hematite resource definition in 2012

o Maiden JORC reportable Inferred mineral Resource of 2.1 Mt at 57.6%

o Excellent potential for increasing hematite resource o Excellent potential for increasing hematite resource inventory in 2012

o Continue to focus on detailed drill testing of hematite targets at Johnston Rangeg g

o Prioritise future drill targets at other projects

Develop profitable mining operations – both hematite and magnetiteand magnetite

o Feasibility studies planned in 2012

o Initiating discussions with strategic investors in Asia (Chi I di ) i h tit l ti (China, India), proving-up hematite exploration target and maiden JORC seen as triggers to further interest

• The mineralisation at Muldoon is at or near surface and extraction through shallow open pit mining may be possible. A relatively low cost mining and crushing operation open pit mining may be possible. A relatively low cost mining and crushing operation is envisaged, possibly where a period of campaign mining is followed by crushing to minimise the need for extensive site infrastructure.

• Road transport to the public access rail, 130km to the south, with export through the Port of Esperance remains the most likely path for transport.

Successful iron ore companies require 3 key factors:

1. Mineable resource – Radar in 2012 is currently increasing the hematite resource base

2. An infrastructure pathway – Radar is in the Yilgarn province with government owned rail and port

3 A market – Iron Ore with similar quality to that defined by Radar is 3. A market – Iron Ore with similar quality to that defined by Radar is currently being sold into Asia – iron grade and ore quality form a saleable product

RADAR IS VERY WELL PLACED TO BECOME A PRODUCER
