ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

27 November 2017

Yilgarn Iron Ore Project - Jackson 5 & Bungalbin East deposits

Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) refers to the statement made by the Minister for Environment for Western Australia on Friday 24 November 2017 in respect of the company's Yilgarn iron ore project.

The Minister's statement reaffirms the Environmental Protection Agency long held position to oppose mining at the company's two Yilgarn deposits, Jackson 5 and Bungalbin East. This position has remained unchanged for a number of years.

The definitive decision on whether mining at J5 and Bungalbin East will be approved by government has always rested with cabinet and ultimately the Premier who must now carefully consider the material social and economic benefits that government's approval will deliver to the State year on year over the next decade and beyond.
