First Iron Ore Shipment Update - C4 Deposit

HIGHLIGHTS

• Loading of ore onto the Cargo Ship "PANAFRICAN" is progressing well with 30,000 tonnes of premium high-grade lump currently loaded on board the vessel (Figure 1 & 2).
• Due to Port surge (weather event which results in evacuation of ships from Port) and berth maintenance at the Port of Geraldton, GWR's vessel will have a pause in loading but has priority to dock at Berth 5 to continue to load the remaining ~25,000 tonnes of ore onto the vessel on 6 February 2021.
• GWR and Alliance Partner Pilbara Resource Group (PRG) expect the vessel the MV PANAFRICAN to depart on or before 8 February 2021 to make its first historic shipment of Iron Ore from the C4 Iron deposit.
• High-Gradelump and fines product will continue to be stockpiled at the Port of Geradlton Site 88 location, and shipments will now continue each month in accordance with GWRs offtake agreement with Hong Kong Trader, Pacific Minerals.
• GWR is currently in the process of securing a Vessel for its second shipment of Iron Ore to its Offtake partner.
• C4 Stage 1 mining activites continue to progress on site with crushing and screening activites on-going.
• The current review being undertaken by GWR on its entire Wiluna West Iron Ore project is progressing very well with regards to:

1. Stage 1 - C4 production tonnage expansion

1. Stage 2 - C4 portion of the remaining ~20 million tonnes1 to be optimised and discussions with interested parties having commenced.

• 1. Other GWR Iron Ore deposits - Focussing on optimised high grade low strip ratio deposits.
• PRG is engaged for Stage 1 of the C4 mining operations which covers the first 1 million tonnes of C4's Mineral Resource estimate of 21.6 million tonnes at 60.7% Fe1.

GWR Chairman Mr Gary Lyons commented:

"The loading of premium high grade lump ore onto our cargo ship has progressed well and will resume on the 6thday of this month. Due to Port surge and maintenance at the Port of Geraldton, our vessel is anchored just out of port and has priority to dock at Berth 5 once maintenance has been conducted and will then load the remaining ~25,000 tonnes of ore.

We now expect the first historic shipment of Iron Ore to our offtake partner to leave the Port of Geraldton on or before 8 February 2021 and we look forward to securing a vessel for our second shipment this month.

Iron ore stockpiles continue to build at Site 88 Storage Facility at the Port of Geraldton with operations on site continuing to progress."

Members and leaders

Alliance Partner Pilbara Resource Group (PRG) is engaged for Stage 1 of the C4 mining operations which covers the first 1 million tonnes of C4's Mineral Resource estimate of 21.6 million tonnes at 60.7% Fe with assessment and modelling currently underway to increase production tonnage on Stage 1.

Under the Joint Venture with PRG, GWR is required to provide minimal capex and opex, will retain 70% share in the project profit as well as retaining the rights for ore sales, strategy and timing.

The current review being undertaken by GWR on its entire Wiluna West Iron Ore project is progressing very well with regards to increasing the production tonnage at Stage 1 (C4 Iron deposit) and optimising the remaining ~20 million tonnes1 to be optimised for Stage 2 whilst discussions with interested parties have commenced

Other than at C4 GWR currently has mining approvals in place for the C3 and Bowerbird deposits which permit the mining of a combined 7 million tonnes per annum.

The emphasis being placed on this review is to focus on high grade portions of deposits , which have low strip ratios and can be brought to production in the most effective manner in order to maximise the benefits to shareholders from the current buoyant Iron Ore prices.
