INVESTMENT IN SECURITY BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY
During the quarter, Nemex concluded its due diligence review of Sydney-based Wavefront Biometric Technologies Pty Ltd (WBT), and completed the initial investment of $700,000 to acquire a 20% in WBT.
WBT has developed and patented a biometric technology for reliable and secure authentication of a person's identity. The technology authenticates a person's identity based on the pattern of light reflected back from the tear film on the corneal surface of the eye. WBT has developed a desktop device to deliver its identity authentication solution. WBT's objective is to implement the technology on a hand held platform and then commercialise the technology (initially) in the mobile banking sector. The technology has potential applications across global sectors including banking, healthcare, military, aviation and border control.
The principal terms of the Agreement pursuant to which NXR can acquire up to a 51% in WBT were set out in the Company's ASX announcement dated 1 April 2014 and in the notice of meeting sent to shareholders on 15 April 2014.
In April 2014 WBT commenced the process of implementing the technology on a hand held platform. The product development program comprises three stages, is expected to take 14
- 18 months in total to complete and the associated costs are proposed to be funded by
NXR's staged investments.
The development work is primarily being undertaken by an experienced team in the United States, led by Dr Ed Sarver, with review and input as required by WBT personnel in Australia, including the technology's original inventor, Mr Stephen Mason, a Sydney based clinical Optometrist and researcher. Dr Sarver is regarded globally as a world leader in developing
innovative software and hardware for measuring the corneal contour and corneal modelling.

The first phase of the development program is to adapt the WBT technology onto a hand- held platform and, more specifically, be able to demonstrate that the hand-held platform will:
Acquire a live image for authentication
Automatically process the image for features used for authentication
Enroll an individual
Demonstrate authentication of the enrolled individual
In July 2014 the WBT product development team in the USA advised that the first phase deliverables (as noted above) had been met (via a hand held attachment to a mobile device). WBT personnel in Australia, including Mr Stephen Mason, are now in the process of completing their review of the product development, following which NXR will conduct its own investigations and decide on whether to exercise its option and invest a further
$625,000 to fund the second phase of WBT's product development, and thereby acquire an additional 10% in WBT, bringing its interest in WBT to 30%.
The second phase of the development plan, which is budgeted to take 4 to 6 months to complete, is to port the technology to a second mobile device, improve industrial design and user interface and improve software and system performance. WBT's objective is to present the enhanced product to potential users in early 2015, and commence the commercialisation process.
TÉLIMÉLÉ PROJECT, GUINEA (Iron)
Nemex has identified significant near surface, high-grade T1 mineralisation at the Télimélé DSO iron project. Nemex has previously outlined a fully-costed, two-stage pre-development plan that involves (i) drilling additional T1 mineralisation (where it is known to occur from previous scout drilling) to lift high-grade resources and (ii) to complete a Bankable Feasibility Study.

During the quarter the Company continued discussions with potential partners interested in assisting develop the Télimélé DSO iron project into a working mine and export operation. The decline in the iron price in recent months has further negatively impacted NXR's ability to secure funding for future development at the project.
Field work at the project was restricted during the quarter due to the spread of the Ebola virus in Guinea and the onset of the wet season.
CÔTE D'IVOIRE (Gold & Base Metals)
During the quarter, NXR continued discussions with third parties with respect to negotiating a Farm-in arrangement for Nemex's Dabakala and Alepe Projects. The discussions are on- going.
CORPORATE
During the quarter, NXR issued 90 million shares (and 45 million free attaching options) to sophisticated and professional investors who are clients of Cicero Advisory Services Pty Ltd at an issue price of 2 cents per share to raise $1.8 million.
