Notes to Editors

About Ferro-Alloy Resources Limited:

The Company's operations are all located at the Balasausqandiq deposit in
Kyzylordinskoye Oblast in the South of Kazakhstan.

Balasausqandiq is a very large deposit, with vanadium as the principal product
together with the carbon black substitute ("CBS") and several by-products.
Owing to the nature of the ore, the capital and operating costs are very much
lower than for other vanadium projects.

The most recent mineral resource estimate for ore-body one (of seven) provided
an Indicated Mineral Resource of 32.9 million tonnes at a mean grade of 0.62%
vanadium pentoxide ("V(2)O(5)") equating to 203,364 contained tonnes of
V(2)O(5). In the system of reserve estimation used in Kazakhstan the reserves
are estimated to be over 70m tonnes in ore-bodies 1 to 5 but this does not
include the full depth of ore-bodies 2 to 5 or the remaining ore-bodies which
remain substantially unexplored.

The grade of carbon in the deposit is over 8%.  The carbon flows through to
the tailings from where it is concentrated in a simple low-cost operation into
a 40% carbon product, the CBS, that can be used in place of carbon black as a
reinforcing filler in the making of rubber.

The Project will be developed in two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2, with Phase 1
treating 1.65 million tonnes per year.

There is an existing concentrate processing operation at the site of the
Balasausqandiq deposit. The production facilities were originally created from
a 15,000 tonnes per year pilot plant which was then expanded and adapted to
recover vanadium, molybdenum and nickel from purchased concentrates.
Alongside this operation there is a well-equipped laboratory and highly
skilled technical team who have already developed the technology that is being
built into the feasibility study and is further developing and optimising
processes needed for future vanadium and carbon operations. The plant will
operate only when profitable concentrates are available and, when not
operating as a production facility, will operate on an expanded basis as an
R&D centre.
