New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$14.1m (US$9.70m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$3.0m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 55% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$134k revenue, or US$92k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$14.1m market cap, or US$9.70m).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.3% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$1.2m free cash flow).

Iron Road Limited Announces Central Eyre Iron Project Key Processingmetrics and Benchmarked Analysis Iron Road Limited announced the technical review undertaken by Metalytics, a highly regarded specialist consulting firm to the iron ore and steel industries, has benchmarked projected iron and mass recoveries from the Company's Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) with comparable Australian and Canadian high-grade iron ore concentrate projects. It has also assessed key characteristics of CEIP concentrate in the context of high-grade iron ore products in international trade. The CEIP hosts Australia's large magnetite Ore Reserve with a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and post DFS optimisation studies complete. A key finding of the Metalytics report is that the coarse grain size and moderate hardness of the CEIP ore make it possible to reject 60% of the run-of-mine (ROM) mass early in the processing stage at the Rougher Magnetic Separation (RMS) step. Consequently, only the remaining 40% mass flow is subject to further beneficiation. This 40% stream is estimated by Metalytics to have an average iron grade of around 27.5% Fe, which is well within the usual range for magnetite mining operations. The resultant material is then beneficiated to the finished concentrate product (66.63% Fe per Metalytics analysis and modelling) at a mass recovery of 37% and an iron recovery of 90%. In Figure 1 below, Metalytics shows that these recoveries are favorable relative to appropriate comparative projects the existing or under-construction magnetite producers in Australia and high-grade coarse hematite concentrate producers in Canada. The 12Mtpa (dry) CEIP processing flow sheet is included in this release. Metalytics notes from the point that CEIP ore exits the RMS stage, its recovery parameters align with project peers. Further, because of the coarse-grained nature of the CEIP ore, its processing from that point is simpler, less energy-intensive and therefore potentially has lower operating cost than comparative projects from their respective ROM ore stages. Front end processing rejection of 60% material mass also has important and advantageous implications for unit capital intensity since this ore pre-concentration step substantially reduces the capacity that would otherwise be required for downstream processing. Bulk sample tests have shown that post
RMS grades as high as 32.5% Fe are possible, depending on ROM ore quality and comminution specifics. In respect of ore hardness, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a key physical parameter relevant to rock geomechanics for iron ore mining and crusher design. CEIP ore reports an average UCS of 110 MPa compared with approximately 450-600 MPa for markedly finer grained, significantly harder and more abrasive banded iron formation (BIF) magnetite projects in Western Australia. For reference, Clout & Manuel (2015) quote the following UCS ranges for Australian iron ores: friable 20-35 MPa, medium hardness 110-200 MPa (CEIP ore = lower end of range), hard 200-500 MPa. An additional notable feature of the CEIP ore according to Metalytics is its low annual chemical variability (aligned with the Thiess Mine Plan), which complements the consistency of its mineralogy and bulk physical properties. The relevance of this is the confidence it provides for efficient operation of the entire beneficiation line in producing high-grade iron concentrate of consistent quality. Crushing, grinding and mineral separation processes can all be
optimised, which Metalytics observes is far preferable to a situation where continuous adjustments to operational settings and flow rates are necessary to accommodate changes in feed characteristics. Based on a well-defined Thiess Mine Plan and the results of laboratory test work and process simulation studies, Metalytics' estimates of the average chemical composition of the ore feed and particle size distribution of the iron concentrate product during the 20-year steady state production period. According to Metalytics, the product sizing distribution allows for a degree of flexibility in offtake agreements for CEIP concentrate given it could substitute in either sinter or pellet feed blends, subject to value-in-use assessments.

Iron Road Ltd Announces Update On Eyre Peninsula Link Iron Road Ltd. announced that the $300 million project, called Eyre Peninsula Link, would take about 18 months to complete, with the new line expected to be energised by the end of 2022. The current transmission line powering
the region is over 50 years old with ElectraNet noting it has spent considerable time planning for its replacement to ensure it will meet the region's current and future needs, while also keeping costs as low as possible. As well as a more secure and reliable power supply for homes and businesses across the Eyre Peninsula, other benefits of the new transmission line, according to ElectraNet, include: Increased capacity to connect more users to the electricity network; Enabling new renewable energy and mining projects to connect in the future; An opportunity to extend the network in future; and Contractors supporting the local economies they work within. The new 270km transmission line will extend from Cultana (near Whyalla) to Port Lincoln via Yadnarie. Comprising double circuit 132kV, the Cultana to Yadnarie section is 275kV capable when required. Upgrades to substations at Cultana, Yadnarie, Port Lincoln Terminal, Wudinna and Middleback are also part of the project. Iron Road also notes the 31 May 2021 announcement by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) approving the expenditure required to deliver the proposed SA-NSW interconnector, Project EnergyConnect. The AER determination allows capital expenditure of $2.28 billion to deliver the project efficiently, including $457.4 million for ElectraNet to construct the South Australian section of the project. TransGrid, responsible for the New South Wales section of the project, has approved a final investment decision to proceed. ElectraNet commented that the AER and TransGrid decisions were a significant milestone for Project EnergyConnect, which they regard as a project of national significance and a priority project for the national electricity grid. According to ElectraNet, independent analysis shows Project EnergyConnect will drive competition in the
wholesale electricity market by connecting more, low-cost generation to the grid and support the ongoing transition to a lower carbon emissions future. As a large-scale, long-life proposed mining and beneficiation operation, the Company's Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) will be a significant consumer of power and a stable demand anchor located at the south-western end of the National Electricity Market (NEM). This presents a clear opportunity for development proponents of proximate, low-cost renewable energy resources on the Eyre Peninsula with a viable connection to an upgraded grid that further supports take-up of low carbon emission generation into the NEM. Following an independent review by a power industry expert as part of ongoing due diligence activities, CEIP mean power demand requirements of 167MW from "pit-to-port" are illustrated in the table below. Previous CEIP mean
power demand guidance of 212MW was incorrectly classified, referring closer to installed and peak power demand requirements. The independent review has determined that the Company's estimate of annual power consumption (MWh terms) for the 12Mtpa (dry tonnes) iron concentrate delivery model remains essentially unchanged.

Iron Road Limited Completes Independent Technical Review of the Central Eyre Iron Project Ore Processing Flow Sheet Iron Road Limited announced that Metalytics has completed its independent technical review of the Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) ore processing flow sheet. Their detailed report and associated premium grade market commentary is now being made available on a confidential basis to potential CEIP partners. Metalytics is a highly regarded specialist consulting firm to the iron ore and steel industries and their industry professionals have decades of experience consulting to resource companies (including iron ore majors), steel producers, the financial sector and public sector entities. Importantly, the independent review by Metalytics verifies the process flow sheet design used by Iron Road in its previously announced feasibility and optimisation studies to achieve expected ore processing outcomes. On a first inspection of headline project parameters, Metalytics notes the CEIP in-situ ore grade of 15.9% Fe appears unpromising by comparison with existing magnetite mining and concentrating operations. However, in Metalytics' opinion, this must be assessed against the recognition that most other magnetite ores, including the BIF ores in Western Australia and the taconite ores in the USA, are markedly finer grained, significantly harder and more abrasive than the CEIP gneissic ore. The factors Metalytics regard as most relevant to the economic viability of a magnetite operation are the quality (and hence the market value) of the saleable concentrate product (particularly its iron content and impurity levels) and the operating cost of producing it, whatever the Fe grade of the in-situ ore. A key finding of the Metalytics report is that the coarse grain size and moderate hardness of the CEIP ore, combined with its lack of chemical and mineralogical variability, make it possible to reject 60% of the run-of-mine (ROM) mass at the Rougher Magnetic Separation (RMS) step, i.e. after semi-autogenous grinding (SAG mill crushing) to 3mm particle size. Consequently, only the remaining 40% mass flow enters a ball mill circuit for grinding. This 40% stream is estimated by Metalytics to have an average iron grade of around 27% Fe, which is well within the usual range for magnetite mines. The resultant material is then beneficiated to the finished concentrate product at a mass recovery of 37% and an iron recovery of 90% levels that are, respectively, favourable, and very high by comparison with existing or under-construction Australian and Canadian high-grade iron concentrate projects. In Metalytics' opinion, these distinct features have important implications for CEIP's projected capital and operating costs. They highlight substantial reductions in the cost of electric power for both coarse and fine grinding that would be required with flow sheets to treat comparable tonnages of finer-grained, harder, and more abrasive magnetite ores. In particular, ore pre-concentration via the rejection of 60% of the ROM mass at the RMS step means that only 32.6 Mtpa of ore enters the ball mill circuit for comminution from a steady-state average of 81.7 Mtpa of ROM, substantially reducing the capacity that would otherwise be required for downstream processing. Premium high-grade iron ore products reduce energy consumption and plant emissions of CO2, other pollutants and dust, and increase blast furnace productivity and reduce slag generation. China, the world's dominant iron ore market, is continuing to push its environmental policy and regulatory agenda to reduce pollution, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Steel companies are subject to operational restrictions to control emissions and to eliminate inefficient, obsolete, and small-scale facilities. Magnetite products with a wide range of properties and from geographically diverse sources are currently traded in international markets. Magnetite is the dominant iron-bearing mineral mined in North America, China, the C.I.S. and Europe. The Chinese steel industry has been underpinned by domestic magnetite ores, although many have complex chemistries, some containing multiple metals and other undesirable elements including sulphur.
