Highlights:

·; The Q3 payment is 2.5 times the June quarter payment with further increased quarterly royalty payments expected as mining at Deception ramps-up.

Macarthur Minerals Executive Chairman Cameron McCall commented; "I am pleased to report that Fe Limited is expanding its drilling program at the Hillside Project in the Pilbara. FEL has raised over $1.2m since commencement of the Joint Venture which will be used to fund exploration and drilling activities across the tenements.
