RAM Resources Limited
ASX Announcement
17 March 2010
RAM TO ACQUIRE MOTZFELDT PROJECT IN SOUTHERN GREENLAND
Potentially host to a world class bulk tonnage Tantalum-Niobium deposit
HIGHLIGHTS
- Ram agrees to acquire Motzfeldt multi-element project in Southern
Greenland.
- Motzfeldt Project has the potential to become a world class bulk tonnage
tantalum and niobium deposit, with additional potential value add from
rare
earth credits, though further exploration work is required to define a
JORC
resource.
- Exploration Target based on a GEUS estimate of 200-500 million tonnes at
an
average grade of 1000-1,400 ppm Nb and 100-120 ppm Ta with potential to
outline internal higher-grade zones at Anomaly 4 and 5.
However there is
currently insufficient information to define a Mineral Resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a
Mineral Resource and potential quantity and grade is conceptual in
nature.
- Multi-element focus, with potential production of a number of mineral
products, including tantalum, niobium, feldspar, zirconium, and rare
earth
oxides.
- Identification of five major radiometric anomalies, occurring over a
strike
length of 7 kilometres, of which only one, Anomaly 4, has been drilled.
- Diamond drilling on Anomaly 4 returned Ta and Nb from surface, with best
results of 630 ppm Ta205 from 18 metres and 7,800 ppm Nb2O5 from 28
metres.
- Preliminary metallurgical and engineering scoping studies completed in
2002
concluded that there were "no fatal flaws" in the Motzfeldt Project.
- Aggressive first year exploration programme planned, with Ram intending
to
drill existing targets in the 2010 field season.
- SRK Exploration Services Limited appointed as technical consultants to
conduct due diligence and prepare an exploration programme for the 2010
field season.

being targeted for tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), and rare earth elements
(REE), though zircon, uranium and thorium are also present in the
mineralised zone.
