tonnes @16%P2O5
Other POZ Phosphate projects in the vicinity with historic drilling intersections include
Buchanan Dam, Alroy and Alexandria
Projects owned 100% by POZ with no private royalties
Targeting Further Major Phosphate Deposits
• Alexandria – 6.1m @ 15.6% P2O5 from 48.8m
• Alroy – 6.4m @ 12.0% P2O5 from 16.2m
• Buchanan Dam – 6.1m @ 25% P2O5 from 12.2m
Metallurgy
Flotation tests: Best float test to date from the coarse fraction gives a grade of 37.4% P2O5 (upgraded from 23.4% P2O5) at 53% recovery of phosphate
Highland Plains phosphate has low levels of the contaminants organic carbon, sulphur, fluorine, chlorine, cadmium and uranium

Musgrave Project (WA) Anglo-American Farm in: $50,000 to POZ, Fly SPECTREM EM Survey, Right to earn 70% in a JV, must spend $3million, required to complete a minimum 5,000metres drilling. POZ then free carried through JV until completion of BFS.
Prospective for PGE’s and Ni-Cu. Platinum Group Element assays at surface of up to 3.4 g/t (mainly platinum), 10’s of km of strike potential. The BHP Billiton Ltd controlled Nebo-Babel deposit (393 Mt at 0.3% nickel and 0.3% copper) remains the most significant discovery in the region to date.
Robinson River Manganese (NT) Agreement signed with Mineral Resources Limited subsidiary, PMI: to
exclusively explore and develop manganese deposits within POZ’s Robinson River project in NT for a free carried
royalty. PMI is a very significant manganese mining and development company with considerable expertise in bringing manganese resources to production.
Nicholson Iron (NT) POZ 100%: Large area of 1,400 km² prospective for Clinton-style oolitic iron mineralisation.
Recently a one tonne metallurgical sample was collected by Company geologists from one of the mineralised sites POZ had discovered, the sample beneficiated to up to 59.1% Fe, 7.4%SiO2, 0.03% P with a 55% recovery. Overall size potential of the iron project in this under-explored region is large.
