Bellzone Mining plc

Bellzone Mining plc is an iron-ore exploration and development company with assets in Guinea, West Africa. The Company's flagship project, the Kalia Iron Project, is underpinned by its 100% owned Kalia iron deposit which has a maiden inferred magnetite JORC resource of 2.4 billion tonnes, located on the Kalia I prospect. Previous drilling results and internal estimates indicate that the Kalia iron deposit has the potential to host more than 13 billion tonnes of magnetite ore and 2.9 billion tonnes of surface oxide. Exploration work continues to further delineate and increase the resources at Kalia with the SEIA and EIA studies already underway in support of the Bankable Feasibility Study.

Bellzone intends to develop a 50 million tonnes per annum ('mtpa') iron ore operation through a two staged approach. First production is expected in 2014 at 20mtpa which is expected to fund the expansion to 50mtpa schedule for completion in 2018.

On 24 May 2010, Bellzone reached a Binding Memorandum of Understanding ('MOU') with China International Fund ('CIF') with regards to the financing of the infrastructure required for the Kalia Iron Project.

The parties have agreed to execute the definitive agreements for the infrastructure company, joint venture agreement and off-take agreement resulting from the Binding MOU.

Bellzone is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker 'BZM'.
