Resources

In February 2010 Atlas signed cooperation agreement Aurox Resources. agreement allows Atlas unutilised surplus berth shiploading stockpiling facilities Aurox.

Resources

Atlas Iron announced initial inferred resource 8.1mt 57.5% Fe Wodgina January 2009. January 2010 120% increase reported DSO resource 8.1mt 57.5% Fe 20.9Mt 57.7%. increase DSO resource result aggressive drilling activities mine.

Construction required commencement operations includes northern highway intersection upgrade mine access upgrades pit-ore pad mine haul screening modifications assist iron sampling stockpiling.

Processing

The preliminary study provided conceptual pit tonnages strip ratios. commencement Anson pits highly marketable targeting 57.7% Fe SiO2 (silicon Dioxide) greater 5.5% <2.0% AI2O3 (Sapphire Crystal) <0.1% P delivered screening plant.

"Wodgina's production June 2010 rate 2mtpa."

The existing resources sufficient deliver production around 20mt targeted seven-year mine 57.7%+ Fe grade.

The operating cost A$38 A$45 per ton mine. initial operating cost $50 per ton. average annual operating cost A$41 per ton mined inclusive royalties targeted mine.

Drilling

During June 2009 company declared its drilling results Wodgina Mount Webber Turner projects. RC drilling results Wodgina project were: 62m 59.2% Fe 0.07% P WDRC490 46m 60.2% Fe 0.11% P 12m WDRC816; 60m 57.8% 0.05% P 4m WDRC819; 44m 59.5% Fe 0.03% P 38m WDRC705.

Environmental Impact

Specialist Studies assessing environmental impact 2009. results indicate major environmental impacts.

Altas signed Native Title agreement Kariyarra September 2009. agreement preserves cultural values region reduces impact environment.

Altas director David Flanagan said: "This agreement represents regional based agreements required support targeted 12mtpa rate 2012."
