- 1. ASX Release 6 June 2012 “Cacata Project – Scoping Study Produces Positive Results.” The scoping study test work was
completed on material from 8 drill holes representative of the deposit. The recovery numbers were derived from a scrubbing and screening at +212um to 2.36mm.
- 2. The Dry beneficiation test work was completed on 8 tonnes of sample from two distinct zones in the high grade core of
- mineralisation. The recovery numbers are derived from sizing the material to 6-19mm, drying to 1-3% moisture followed
by air classification to remove the -106um
- 3. The Wet beneficiation test work is being completed on 10 tonnes of sample from two different locations classified as
medium grade. The results are derived from scrubbing and screening the material at +106um and -12.5mm.
M&I Grade Tonnage Options
WET DRY
Preliminary Optimisation suggests:
- Wet beneficiation will be suited to
9-11Mt of the M&I resources at a cut-off of 26% P2O5
- Dry beneficiation will be suited to
6-8Mt of the M&I resources at a cut off around >28% P2O5 Mine engineering studies will optimise the value and utilisation of the entire 15Mt M&I resource incorporating the second stage with flotation.
- Bulk sampling confirmed free digging material will not require ripping.
- No filter press for product dewatering
- Transport distance to Porto de Caio is 38km less than 2012 option
- Dry Beneficiation will not require process water supply and tailings
disposal
Cacata Capex Savings
The decision between dry and wet beneficiation will be a tradeoff between additional capex for wet processing and shorter stage 1 mine life for dry processing.
Deepwater Port
Porto de Caio Cabinda
- Located in Cabinda 60km by road from Cacata
- 12.5m depth ideally suited to phosphate vessel size.

Competent Person Cabinda Project The information in the original ASX announcements and the Annual Report and Half Year Report that related to Exploration Results and Phosphate Resources is based on information compiled or reviewed by and approved for release by Ms Kathleen Body, Pr.Sci.Nat, who has over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and mineral resource estimation. Ms Body is a Principal Consultant and Director of Redbush Geoservices (Pty) Ltd and contracted to Minbos Ms Body is registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions(SACNASP)as a Professional Natural Scientist. She has sufficient experience in relation to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" (The JORC Code 2012 Edition). Ms Body has consented to inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears. Competent Person Lucunga and Pedra de Fetico Projects The information in this presentation that relates to the Lucunga and Pedra de Feitico Exploration Results and the Lucunga Vale Fertil resource estimate complies with the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code has been reviewed and approved for release by Ms Rebecca Morgan, who is a member
- f the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Ms Morgan is a full-time employee of Minbos and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the
