Operational Milestones 2011 - 2012

March 2011
Mt Windarra Refurbishment recommences
March milestone
March 2011
Mt Windarra Refurbishment recommences
As previously announced, the mining operations have now recommenced. A new pump installation will be complete in May 2011 enabling dewatering to progress beyond the current level of 168 metres.
May 2011
Cerberus Drilling Reserve
May milestone
May 2011
Cerberus Drilling Reserve
Complete infill drilling to an 80m x 80m pattern, bringing the deposit closer to surface and defining mineralisation limits. Infill drilling to 40m x 40m will be completed in the higher grade zones and a scoping study will be initiated in order to commence defining Reserves. The detailed drilling will be defined to 450m below surface during the initial Reserve/Mine Planning phase.  Should this be economic, infill drilling of the deeper high grade mineralisation below 450m depth will commence which is currently defined down to 720m below surface and is still open.
June 2011

Submit all final Government approvals
January milestone
January 2012
Submit all final Government approvals
Poseidon's approval process requires submission of the Mining & Environmental documents through the Department of State Development (DSD) of the West Australian Government. This is an enhanced approval process dictated by the fact that Poseidon's tenements are covered by West Australian "State Act" licences. Poseidon intends to submit all proposals in 3 parts for the Mt Windarra proposal, Cerberus proposal and Tailings disposal and co-product proposal. Each of these proposals will be in two parts. DSD will endeavour to clear proposals within 60 days of the final submission date in January 2012.
March 2012
BFS to 700,000t complete
March milestone
March 2012
BFS to 700,000t complete
Poseidon is completing its Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for the Windarra Nickel Project. The Windarra Nickel Project includes the reopening of the existing Mt Windarra underground mine, the development of the new Cerberus underground mine, a new concentrator plant with the associated infrastructure and a tailings disposal facility. The concentrator plant for nickel will have a 700,000 tonne per annum throughput capacity and produce a nickel sulphide concentrate. The BFS will be the key document to be used to raise the appropriate funds to build the project.
April 2012
Target Government approvals received
April milestone
April 2012
