Cehegin Magnetite Iron Ore Project
Southeastern Spain
Iberian Minerals Developing a highly prospective iron ore project in Spain
• High grade/Low impurities: Iberian is re-establishing a high grade iron ore mine to supply Europe
• Historical production: Produced 4Mt of 65%, low impurity iron ore between 1975 and 1989
• Substantial resource upside: Exploration data suggests magnetite mineralization at 25 – 30Mt+
• Strategic Partner: JV in place with Glencore (Market Cap – $85 billion)
• Brownfield site: Leading to short permitting period
• Low CAPEX: Project will be low CAPEX and competitive OPEX
Key strengths High quality iron ore project under development in Spain
• European countries produced an aggregate of approximately 38 Mt of iron ore in 2014, importing 135 Mt during this same period
Opportunity for European
Iron Ore Producer
• The project has access to excellent logistics with railways, highways and deep water port/facilities, and regional and local Government support
With access to high quality
infrastructure
• Reports indicate the operation previously produced a magnetite concentrate of 65% Fe with contained impurity elements below penalty levels – which would sell at a premium in today’s market
Premium product potential
• Analysis of the historical exploration data suggests significant magnetite mineralization

Advisory board Experienced in bringing iron ore projects in to production
Iron ore Demand to balance supply by 2018
Performance so far in 2014 - 2015
• The 65% iron ore price has fallen from circa $135/t to $70/t YTD
• Decline principally from major production increases by the likes of RIO, BHP & Vale ( the“Big 3”)
• Rationale of the Big 3: to eliminate non efficient Chinese producers
Outlook going forward
• Historically the price has rebounded sharply from these levels as high cost / low grade operations in China become uneconomic (represents approximately 35% of Chinese supply)
• Chinese efforts to reduce domestic pollution should see greater demand for higher grade product
• Delays and cancellations in start-up of multi-billion dollar projects until more attractive pricing
• Negative economics for smaller iron ore producers, particularly in Australia
• Chinese GDP still growing at 6.8% per year; Indian market expected to generate significant demand
• Iron ore consumption (driven by Chinese demand) to bring global supply in to balance by 2018
European iron ore market The world’s second largest importer of iron ore
• European countries produced an
aggregate of approximately 38Mt of
iron ore in 2014
• It imported 135 Mt during this same
period, largely from Australia and
Brazil.
• The EU is the 2nd largest importer
for iron ore behind China
• The main consumers are Germany,
Italy, France and the UK
Spain High quality infrastructure, local expertise and support
• The current Spanish government is pro-mining and actively permitting projects
• The Region of Murcia classified the Cehegin Iron Ore Project as a strategic initiative
• A mining culture surrounds the area with access to a skilled labour force
• Unemployment in Spain circa 26%
• Tax incentives and subsidies implemented for the mining industry
• The current economic climate affords the opportunity to lock in contracts at
competitive rates.
Murcia
Project overview Focused on bringing Spanish mining projects into production
Cehegin in South East Spain
• 62 mineral concessions
• 38,000m of drilling previously completed on
the four major deposits
• 4mt historical production with a historical
product average grade in excess of 65% Fe
• Very low impurities
• Low CAPEX / Competitive OPEX
• Sales priced to command a premium to
benchmark 62% Fe
• Close proximity to established infrastructure
• Ownership: 80% Iberian; 20% Glencore
Cehegin Iron Ore Project Total expanded area will cover 6,900 ha
Geology Near surface magnetite mineralization
• Near surface deposit for open pit design
• Existing resource open at depth and along strike
• Massive magnetite mineralisation occurring within bedded morphology
• Mineralisation is associated with sub-volcanic intrusive rocks of ofito-doleritic
composition
• Excellent response to magnetometry
Historical production Anticipated product grades in excess of standard 62% iron based on production up to 1985

Work program Targeting full production in 2018
Phase 1: Regional Reconnaissance, Exploration & Validation of Historical Data Phase 2: Pre-feasibility Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”)
First development phase Exploration and concept
• $2 million towards reconnaissance and verification programs
• Objective to enhance the project’s potential and verify historical data
• Review regional aeromagnetic data to select drill targets
• 2,200m (15 to 18 boreholes) to test the best regional magnetic
anomalies and extend the historical deposits
• Drill at least two boreholes in each of the selected targets
• Drill samples will be subject to Davis Tube analysis
• All work phases will be 20% funded by Glencore
Second phase development Compilation of all previously applied data and studies to generate a pre-feasibility study
• $2 million phase 2 program will provide the requisite data to generate a pre-feasibility study
• Additional 10,000m of drilling included in definition and exploration campaign with drilling to outline mineral resources to an adequate level
• The pre-feasibility study will include:
• Mineral resource estimation;
• Geotechnical investigations;
• Mine design and ore reserves;
• Metallurgical studies;
• Process plant design and engineering studies;
• Infrastructure and support services studies;
• Environment studies; and,
• Cash flow modelling and financial analysis.
• The Company will be conducting environmental studies concurrently throughout phases 1 and 2 to expedite the permitting process
Infrastructure and logistics High quality roads leading to a deep water port
