Q 4 2 0 2 0 3

Aiming to be one of the first iron ore producers in Cameroon

Maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 45Mt at 44.0% Fe, including 5Mt at 52.7% Fe (JORC)

Grades up to 65.75% Fe with low levels of phosphorous and Al2O3

Metallurgical testing by SGS has yielded a 62.7% Fe concentrate from gravity separation

Davis Tube metallurgical results indicate BIF concentrate grade of 63.5% Fe with coarse grind size of 150µm

Deep water port at Kribi constructed, largest deep water port in Central Africa

270km road from project to Kribi is being upgraded to an all weather surface

Social and environmental baseline study completed

Sample Recovery, Preparation and Assay

▪ The Company adheres to or exceeds industry sample quality assurance and quality control ('QA/QC') standards

and ensures a full chain of custody from the project to the assay laboratory.

▪ Drill collar coordinates are surveyed in by hand held GPS. Core samples are geologically logged and sawn on

site. Quarter core samples are composited to between 1m and 2m depending on geological controls and sent

to the accredited ALS Chemex ('ALS') sample preparation facility in Yaoundé. Sample pulps are then sent to the

ISO 17025 accredited ALS assay laboratory in Galway (Ireland) for fused disc XRF analysis.

▪ The Company's QA/QC policy includes the insertion of alternating blank, standard and duplicate samples on a

regular basis within the sample train. The Company uses standards with varying grades which are also

alternated. ALS also operates an internal QA/QC check assay programme using in-house standards, reagent

blanks and duplicates.
