The NRR Roper Bar Investment

Amur's interest in NRR is held through its wholly owned subsidiary, Carlo Holdings Limited ("CHL"). The purchase value of the CLN's was US$ 4.67 million and is convertible to 13.43% of the share capital of NRR, a privately owned company.

The CLNs are convertible at the holder's option at any time from issue until 15 days prior to their maturity date on 25 August 2023. Amur's CLNs may be converted into 13.43 % of the current issued share capital of NRR. Any CLNs not converted by the third anniversary of issue will be redeemable at par. CLNs may be redeemed early by NRR at any time but in such circumstances the relevant holder is entitled to be issued with a warrant giving it subscription rights over shares in NRR equivalent to the conversion rights attaching to the CLNs and a penalty payment equal to all of the unpaid but due coupons to maturity. Glencore is also a holder of CLNs which are convertible into the equity of NRR.

The CLNs provide security over the issued share capital of NRR Group Pty Ltd and its subsidiary's interest in the mineral leases and mineral exploration licenses owned by it in connection with the Roper Bar Project once CHL / Amur receive Foreign Investment Review Board ("FIRB") confirmation that there is no objection to grant such security. This remains to be completed and Mr. Adam Habib, President of Amur and a member of the NRR board of directors will notify the Company when complete.

The Roper Bar Iron Ore Project

The Roper Bar Iron Ore Project was acquired by NRR in 2017 and is situated in the Northern Territory of Australia. Mining operations resumed in October 2020 wherein ores could be shipped without the need for significant processing, referred to as Direct Shipping Ore ("DSO"). An offtake agreement exists between Glencore and NRR for the marketing and distribution of the project's iron ore.

The Roper Bar Project has a fully integrated 'pit-to-port' logistics chain including a privately owned 171 km paved access road to a port which includes an existing barge load-out facility and product stockyard. NRR has a 2-stage restart programme with Stage 1 covering 4.0 Mt of DSO and 1.0 Mt of DMS (Dense Media Separation) production at 1.5 - 1.8 Mtpa over 3 years. Stage 2 expansion includes the installation of a silica flotation plant with target production of 4 - 5Mtpa of lump, fines and concentrate.

Robin Young, CEO of Amur Minerals Corporation, commented:

"The Nathan River Resources' Roper Bar Iron Ore Operation has benefitted from the more than 50% run up in iron ore prices during 2020. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, iron ore availability to maintain China's continued and robust steel demand has and is projected to provide strong price support for the iron ore industry over the course of the next year. This setting indicates the likely existence of a ready market for the Roper ores.

Having reached the end of the year, our lead contacts with NRR President Adam Habib and Mining Advisor Robert Marsden are now compiling the close out report for AMC's Board of Directors. I look forward to providing the year end operational update to our shareholders when Mssr's Habib and Marsden have completed their work."
