DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
• Economic evaluation study to be completed after initial JORC
results obtained
• Study to assess a number of options
• Road haulage of 2mtpa of DSO to Port Hedland
• 5 to10 mtpa of DSO to FMG multi user rail
• 5 to 10 mtpa mine gate sale to BHPB or RIO :::

Shares and options on issue 153 million odd. SP = $2.55
MC = $390 mill (correct me if I'm wrong). Options expire 31/7/08.
Don't know how to value this one yet. Bauxite deposits - haven't studied yet.
Market seems to be valueing the iron ore that they know is drilled.
Although, if initial jorc is 100 - 150 mill tonne high grade, low impurity DSO (which looks like coming from drill results), could still be some upside. Say at $5 tonne, we get $500 - $750 mill. What do others think?
The high grade DSO resource shows very low levels of impurities.
• The deposit is near surface, shallow and has a low strip ratio of approximately 1:1 or less.
• The Railway Prospect is extremely well located with respect to existing
infrastructure. Two Rio Tinto railways lie within three kilometres of the
deposit, and a BHPB railway is within twenty five kilometres.
• The recently reported Rio Tinto ground breaking deal with another ASX listed
iron ore junior to enter into mine gate sales has potential to provide a rapid
path for UMC mine development along similar lines. Rio Tinto has publicly
advised that the key criteria for a similar deal would be the quality of the ore
and proximity to infrastructure. UMC has both.
• The Company’s preferred development plan is for a production rate of 5mtpa
and 10mtpa.
The Company has refrained from any marketing initiatives to date, preferring to wait until an initial JORC compliant resource had been calculated. That has now been satisfactorily completed and is the subject of this ASX release. The Board will now sanction an approach to major producers to determine their interest along the lines of mine gate sales or other variants on a rail access
agreement.
