Current Operations

Brazil
In July 2008, G4G Resources Ltd. and Crusader do Brasil Mineracao Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary of Crusader Holdings NL, formed a strategic partnership under which the companies will work together to acquire iron ore fines in Brazil as feedstock for the production of saleable iron units.

The agreement with Crusader compliments the agreement between G4G and Iron Mineral Beneficiation Services (Pty) Ltd. (IMBS), under which G4G and IMBS have agreed to form joint venture companies to produce saleable iron units utilising the FinesmeltTM process, a technology which is patented by IMBS.

With an experienced team, offices in Belo Horizonte and Joao Pessoa and several minerals projects, Crusader is well-established in Brazil. The strategic partnership with Crusader is a very important step towards securing iron ore fines in Brazil, a country which is one of the largest iron ore miners and iron and steel producers in the world. The main focus of G4G and Crusader is to source iron ore fines as feedstock for iron production plants which will be built and operated under joint ventures with G4G’s technology partners.

G4G and Crusader are currently pursuing a number of opportunities to acquire iron ore fines in Brazil from which to produce iron units.

Iron Production
In 2008, G4G achieved an agreement with Iron Mineral Beneficiation Services (Pty) Ltd (IMBS) in South Africa to form joint ventures to deploy the FinesmeltTM iron reduction technology developed by IMBS. FinesmeltTM is a patented process which converts iron ore fines into high quality iron units. The joint venture with IMBS is a strategic relationship which compliments G4G’s iron ore development projects.

IMBS has developed and is the beneficial owner of FinesmeltTM, which is intellectual property for the conversion of iron ore fines and super fines (hematite and magnetite) into metallic iron units without agglomeration. FinesmeltTM is a unique process that converts otherwise waste iron ore fines into hot briquetted iron and pig iron. The IMBS technology utilizes thermal coal in the reduction process whereas other processes use higher priced coking coal.

FinesmeltTM Technology
The FinesmeltTM technology takes superfine iron-ore, reduces it in a rotary kiln, and ultimately produces iron units – in the form of hot briquetted iron (HBI) or pig iron – for sale as feedstock to steel manufacturers.

Methods of iron production are well known, but the FinesmeltTM technology is a new method developed to utilise the vast amount of available iron oxide fines, generated as waste product from conventional iron ore processing. FinesmeltTM bypasses the need for agglomeration – the usual way to treat superfine material – and uses cheaper thermal coal (devolatilised) as the reducing agent.

Advantages & Benefits

Scalability and Speed of Deployment
A 500,000 ton per annum FinesmeltTM plant can be produced, deployed and commissioned in a six month period.

Operational and Capital Cost Efficiency
The FinesmeltTM process allows for the cost effective co-generation of electricity. This allows the process to be significantly more operational and capital efficient than competing processes. FinesmeltTM utilizes thermal coal in the reduction process whereas other processes use higher priced coking coal.

Product and Feed Flexibility
Finesmelt™ has the ability to process non-traditional input materials. This includes sub 100-micron iron fines, iron ores with FE content greater than 62% and regular thermal coal, giving FinesmeltTM a major production cost advantage.

Development
MBS have successfully deployed FinesmeltTM technology on a laboratory test scale, and on a pilot plant scale. The Finesmelt™ Demonstration Unit in Olifantsfontein, South Africa has been running successfully for two years, with an annual production of over 8,000 tonnes.

The Nigel project, located near Johannesburg, South Africa, is currently planned to be the first plant using this technology to operate on a commercial scale. The Nigel plant will produce 50,000 tonnes per year of saleable iron units.

Commercial scale plants will comprise of multiple 50,000 tonne per year units, with each plant having a minimum annual output capacity of 250,000 tonnes.

G4G and IMBS are evaluating a number of iron ore resources as potential projects to build and operate FinesmeltTM plants. G4G’s strategy is aligned with IMBS’ global roll-out strategy, with the objective being to generate cash flow from operations.

Alternative Fuels Corporation
Alternative Fuels Corporation (AFC), a wholly owned subsidiary of G4G Resources Ltd., is focused on the production of ultra-clean transportation fuels using the Fischer Tropsch process. G4G’s technology partner is the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa (Wits). G4G and Wits are working together to form a joint venture company which will commercialize the syngas to liquids production process that has been developed by the Centre of Materials and Process Synthesis (COMPS) situated at Wits.

Under the agreement between AFC and Wits, the parties will work together to secure natural gas, coal, biomass and municipal waste assets, and then produce liquid fuels utilising the COMPS technology. COMPS has developed demonstration and pilot plants in Australia and China. The Wits-COMPS scientists who are among the most accomplished in the world in the field Gas-To-Liquids technology.

In many countries there is governmental concern over self sustainability of liquid fuels. As a result, there is increasing worldwide interest in technology that will produce fuels that are more environmentally friendly and reduce the dependence on oil. The agreement with Wits presents G4G with a unique opportunity to produce ultra-clean liquid transportation fuel like diesel, jet fuel and gasoline.

The COMPS technology is a new generation of the Fischer Tropsch technology. It can be applied to Gas-To-Liquid (GTL), Coal-To-Liquid (CTL) as well as Biomass-To-Liquid (BTL), which includes municipal waste. The technology offers reduced CO2 emissions, reduced capital and operating costs, as well as simplicity of operation and ease of scalability and is sufficiently environmentally friendly to earn carbon credits. Another advantage of this technology over conventional technologies is the modularity of the design. Smaller production units can be put up in a much shorter period of time with just a fraction of the total investment costs to start generating return on the investment once the first module is operational. The fuels produced are cleaner burning as they contain no sulphur, no particulate matter, no aromatics and no nitrous compounds.

Fischer Tropsch Catalysts
G4G Resources Ltd. has entered into an agreement the company to acquire a 51% interest in Magnetite Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd. Magnetite Holdings is a South African-based company with iron ore assets in Namibia.

Initial work has been completed by Magnetite Holdings to produce a chemical grade iron catalyst for sale to coal, gas and biomass converters which currently use the Fischer Tropsch (FT) process to produce ultra-clean diesel and gasoline. The most notable users of this particular iron catalyst are Sasol Ltd. of South Africa and other alternative fuel producers using the FT process.

Chemical catalysts break fossil fuels into their molecular parts, resulting in higher rates of production efficiency and more environmentally friendly fuels. Although catalysts have always been essential in the chemical industry, advances in catalyst technology have the potential to revolutionize the fossil fuels market. Governments who have chosen to adapt to these new technologies will have more control over their own political and economic destinies.

Catalysts in combination with the Fischer Tropsch process have the potential to:

Allow remote regions of the world to become less dependent on foreign oil by producing liquid and gas fuels from coal.
Allow economical production from stranded gas fields, which accounts for a large proportion of the world’s known gas reserves.
Free countries with large coal resources, like China and the US, from dependence on foreign oil.
Reduce emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and other particulate matter.
Promote waste recycling through conversion of plastic, rubber, municipal waste and waste oil to clean fuels.

Magnetite Holdings has an 80% equity holding in Namibian Magnetite (Pty) Ltd. Following a positive outcome from the due diligence evaluation, G4G can exercise its option to expand the current resource and obtain NI 43-101 status of the asset. Following completion of this option the completion of a bankable feasibility study, G4G will acquire a 51% interest in Magnetite Holdings.

Port Alberni, Canada
G4G Resources Ltd. holds mineral properties near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, Canada. Exploration is planned for the Macktush project area in 2009. Previous work on Macktush identified considerable alteration and anomalous Cu, Au, Ag and Mo values in the quartz veins. Geophysical surveys have identified magnetic and gravity anomalies throughout the area. This data, together with geological data from previous drilling, will be utilised to identify specific drill targets. The most prospective drill target is the Rex zone. A strong magnetic signature was recorded and elevated Cu, Au and Ag were found in surface samples. The first stage will be comprehensive structural mapping and sampling, followed by diamond drilling.
