SALES OFFTAKE CONTRACT AND PROCESSING PLANT FIRST RIGHT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT SIGNED

 

 

Diversified resources company IMX Resources NL (ASX:IXR) has signed two major agreements with Chinese partner Jilin Tonghua Iron and Steel Mining Co Ltd (?Tonghua Mining?), regarding the sale of run of mine iron / copper ore from its Cairn Hill project in South Australia, and the conditions of the first right of purchase of the processing plant in China.

 

IMX Resources Managing Director Duncan McBain said the contracts formalise the arrangements put in place in the Heads of Agreement signed last December.

 

?The agreements mark the further evolution of the project. The milestones are steadily being ticked off, with mining and railing expected to commence in Q4 2008 ahead of the first shipment in Q1 2009,? Mr McBain said.

 

The specific agreements with Tonghua Mining include the Long Term Purchase and Sales Contract For Iron & Copper Ore (?Sales Offtake Contract?) and the Asset Disposal Process Agreement For Yingkou Australian Ore Processing Company Ltd (?Process Plant Disposal Agreement?).

 

The Sales Offtake Contract covers the sale of the unprocessed ROM ore from Phase 1 of the Cairn Hill Magnetite ? Copper ? Gold project located 55 km south-east of Coober Pedy.

 

Under the Sales Offtake Contract the total planned annual ROM production for the magnetite / copper ore from Phase 1 at Cairn Hill will be sold to Tonghua Mining. Up to 1.4 million tonnes per year will be sold to Tonhgua Mining over a three year period (subject to extensions) at market related prices. The ore will be sold on a FOB basis with the target shipping specification averaging 55% Fe and 0.43% Cu. IMX Resources receives payment for both the contained iron and copper, with the prices based on internationally traded benchmark prices and a 20% discount to allow for processing costs and losses.

 

The Process Plant Disposal Agreement covers the process to be followed should the contract not be renewed by mutual agreement beyond the initial three year term. Under this agreement, IMX Resources has the first right to purchase the processing plant at Bayuquan in Liaoning Province, NE China at an independently assessed market price.

 

Recently IMX Resources was very pleased to be able to host Mr An Feng Cheng, Chairman of the Tonghua Iron & Steel Group on a visit to Australia and have the opportunity to take him to site at Cairn Hill to show him the trial mining operations and the port facilities in Darwin. IMX Resources believes that this first visit by Mr An to Australia has assisted in deepen the understanding between the two companies.

About IMX Resources NL

 

IMX Resources NL (ASX:IXR) ? is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with a current market capitalisation of approximately $75m.

 

IMX Resources is an active diversified mining company with projects in South Australia, Tasmania and Tanzania, East Africa, focusing on a range of commodities including iron-ore, nickel, gold, copper, platinum and uranium.

 

The company is disciplined in following a careful strategy to maximise shareholder value by discovering and developing ore bodies. IMX Resources achieves this by participating in multiple, quality exploration projects in joint ventures with global mining companies, and by listing spin-off companies, to ensure programs with high potential are well-funded, while retaining a significant interest to provide exposure for IMX Resources shareholders. In  2008  it  is  anticipated  that  IMX  Resources shareholders  will  have  leverage  to approximately  $17m  of  exploration,  with  IMX Resources contributing around $1.5m.

 

IMX Resources 100%-owned project is Cairn Hill, 55 kilometres south-east of Coober Pedy, South Australia. This unique magnetite Fe ? Cu ? Au project is close to the Darwin to Adelaide railway line. Phase 1, which is currently under development, is a DSO magnetite project, studies indicate this project has excellent rates of return. Testwork indicates that the ore produces a premium coarse grained magnetite product, with a clean saleable Cu / Au concentrate. IMX Resources has a three year sales offtake agreement with Jilin Tonghua Iron & Steel (Group) Mining Co Ltd for the DSO magnetite production.  Beyond Phase 1, testwork has commenced on Phase 2 of the project targeted at producing a premium grade magnetite concentrate. Phase 3 is focussed on the 90% of the 40km of magnetic anomalies remain largely undrilled. The upside for Cairn Hill remains the definition of further resources to support a long term 3-5mtpa operation.

IMX Resources spun off 70% of the Nachingwea Nickel - Copper project in Tanzania into a Continental Nickel Limited (TSXV:CNI) in August 2007. IMX Resources currently holds 47.3% of Continental Nickel and retains a 30% free carried interest in the Nachingwea Nickel - Copper project through a joint venture company structure.
