11 CAPEX requirement is expected to be modest due to: Capex and Opex Considerations 1. No additional port infrastructure required as Geraldton Port currently has abundant surplus capacity for ore storage and ship loading 2. Existing road used by Crossland Resources/Murchison Metals to haul iron ore from its Jack Hills project ( ) passes within 15km of Iron Ridge 3. High grade product needs only minimal processing and no tailings disposal facility OPEX likely to be majority related to transport and logistics, such as: 1. Road transport some 490km to Geraldton Port 2. Port storage and handling fees 11
