Notes to Editors

Pathfinder Minerals, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has a 100% interest in two licences to mine heavy minerals sands, containing a potential titanium dioxide ore resource. The Naburi Licence and Moebase Licence, formerly owned by BHP Billiton, are over land located on and near the Indian Ocean coast of Mozambique. Historical reported mineral resources on the property are estimated at 2.02 billion tonnes with a 3.55% total heavy mineral content, which is equivalent to approximately 71.7 million tonnes of contained heavy minerals. Confirmatory drilling and metallurgical test work will be required to upgrade the classification of the mineral resources in accordance with current AusIMM, SAMREC or CIM resource classification codes.

Exploration work conducted on the licences from the mid-1980s through to 2002 has identified significant mineralisation. Bulk sampling and metallurgical test work conducted in support of prefeasibility and feasibility studies in the mid-1990s indicates that valuable heavy minerals can be recovered using conventional dredge mining, wet concentration and dry mineral separation processes.

The Company intends to undertake a feasibility study on the licences.

Heavy Minerals Sands

The more valuable components of a heavy mineral sands deposit include the titanium oxide minerals ilmenite and rutile, and in addition, zircon. Ilmenite and rutile are used to produce titanium dioxide pigment used in the production of paint, paper, plastic, textiles, rubber and pharmaceutical products. Zircons are commercially mined for the metal zirconium and are used for abrasive and insulating purposes.
