Overview of the Goondicum Project

The Goondicum Project is a brownfield ilmenite project located in Central Queensland, Australia, 30 km due east of the township of Monto. The project, currently on care and maintenance, benefits from significant historical investment of over A$120 million on infrastructure and processing equipment, expected to allow for a cost-efficient re-start of the operations (The A$120 million historical investment is based on information with respect to the book value of its assets and historical transactions provided by Belridge, and has not been audited). Further, the Goondicum ore body is well understood due to a history of exploration and resource evaluation activities.

The Goondicum Project is located within the Goondicum crater, a topographic feature roughly circular and 6 km in diameter containing significant ilmenite, apatite (phosphate rock), titano-magnetite and feldspar mineralization. The project comprises a mining lease (ML80044) which covers approximately 20 percent of the Goondicum Crater and exploration leases covering the remainder of the crater, providing significant opportunity for resource and mine life extension.

Current mineral resources for the project, reported at a cut-off grade of 2.5% available ilmenite, are estimated at 31.3 million tonnes of Indicated Resource and 30.9 million tonnes of Inferred Resource providing 1.90 and 1.93 million tonnes respectively of in-situ ilmenite.

(1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

(2) The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

Mineralisation is planned to be mined via basic open-pit excavations using scrapers, excavators and trucks. The mineralisation is present from surface and there is no requirement for any overburden removal or for blasting or ripping of the resource.

The mineralisation will be trucked to a centrally located process plant for extraction of ilmenite and apatite. As part of the project re-start, it is envisaged the process plant will be upgraded from a nominal capacity of 1.8 million tonnes of mineral feed per annum to approximately 2.8 million tonnes per annum, lowering the operating cost structure significantly. Management believes that there is scope to further increase this level through a relatively low-cost upgrade of key processing equipment once the plant is back in operation.

The process plant employs conventional mineral sands upgrading processes including scrubbers, screens, cyclones, wet magnets and gravity spirals. Magnetic separation is then used to separate ilmenite from other by-product materials.

The ilmenite product was previously hauled 260km from the mine site to the port of Gladstone where it was shipped around the world to various customers. There is potential to reduce this haulage distance from 260km down to 160km with the construction of a new 22km mine access road, lowering off site logistics costs significantly. Further evaluation of this cost-saving opportunity will be conducted during the mine re-start process.

The project has historically sold over 61,000 tonnes of ilmenite product to pigment customers and management believes the product's performance is well understood and accepted in the market.

A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report has been prepared and will be filed by Melior on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") within the next 45 days.

Overview of Ilmenite and Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)

Ilmenite is a titanium dioxide mineral which is used primarily in the production of pigments for paints, coatings, plastics, inks and other products. TiO₂ feedstocks are used in the pigment production process due to its ability to impart brightness, opacity, strength and durability to the pigment. Management believes that TiO₂ feedstocks face limited risk from substitution as there are few viable feedstock alternatives which produce pigment of equivalent quality.

The Proposed Transaction

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that Melior Australia Pty Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), a direct subsidiary of Melior, will acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Belridge in exchange for the issuance by Melior of 38,087,971 common shares of Melior (the "Consideration Shares") to Belmont Park - Monto Pty Ltd (48.68%), Panorama Ridge - Monto Pty Ltd (48.68%) and Sashimi Investments Pty Ltd (2.62%) (the "Belridge Shareholders"), in each case in their capacity as trustees. Each Belridge Shareholder is a company formed in Australia. The Consideration Shares would represent 18.0% of Melior's issued and outstanding shares immediately after closing of the Proposed Transaction. Closing of the Proposed Transaction is subject to Exchange approval and other customary conditions. Melior expects closing to occur within the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Melior would commit to invest up to US$15 million in the Goondicum Project, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and fulfillment of all permitting, approval and licensing requirements necessary to successfully achieve a full re-start of the Goondicum Project. Melior's board of directors would direct and have ultimate approval over the total amount invested and the drawdowns and conditions for the expenditure of these funds.

Following Closing, the Belridge Shareholders would be entitled to receive an earn-out payment, payable in Melior common shares (or, at Melior's election, in cash) based on the performance of Melior by reference to its share price ("Earn-out Consideration"). The parties have agreed to predetermined earn-out payment amounts should Melior's share price reach predetermined levels with such predetermined levels being well in excess of the market price of Melior's common shares as of the effective date of the Share Purchase Agreement. The maximum number of Melior common shares that could be issued as payment for the Earn-out Consideration is 38,087,971. The Earn-out Consideration will be available for a period of four years from the date of Closing ("Validity Period").

• Change of control during the Validity Period: If a change of control event (as defined below) occurs during the Validity Period and the price at which the Melior common shares are trading exceeds specified levels above the current market price, the Belridge Shareholders would have a right to receive the Earn-out Consideration on a pro-rata basis.
• No change of control during the Validity Period: In the event that no change of control event occurs during the Validity Period, the Belridge Shareholders would, at the end of the Validity Period, be entitled to receive the Earn-out Consideration, on a pro-rata basis, if the trading price of the Melior common shares exceeds specified levels above the current market price.

A change of control event is defined as any party or parties acting in concert, other than Pala Investments Limited (Melior's current majority shareholder, "Pala Investments"), acquiring more than 50.0% of the fully diluted common shares of Melior. The payment of the Earn-out Consideration would be subject to the satisfaction of customary eligibility and performance conditions including the continuation of operations of the Goondicum Project and the Belridge Shareholders continuing to hold all the Consideration Shares. For example, assuming that no change of control occurs during the Validity Period, the Earn-out Consideration payable at the end of the Validity period will range from zero (if the Melior share price is less than C$0.41 per share) to 38.1 million shares if the Melior share price exceeds C$1.11 per share.

The Consideration Shares will be placed in escrow for a period beginning on the date on which Closing occurs (the "Closing Date") and ending two years after the Closing Date. Should Melior have a successful claim against the Belridge Shareholders during the escrow period, such claim may be satisfied by cash or by a return of the Consideration Shares with equivalent value to such claim. Consideration Shares returned to Melior are to be valued based on the price of Melior common shares on the Closing Date.

Following Closing, the Belridge Shareholders will be entitled to nominate one director to the board of directors of Melior for so long as they together hold at least 10.0% of Melior's issued and outstanding common shares.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that the Corporation's listing status will change from that of a Tier 1 Investment Issuer to a Tier 1 Mining Issuer.

A finder's fee of A$250,000 is payable by Melior to a third party on closing of the transaction.

As the Proposed Transaction is a "Change of Business" transaction, pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.2 Melior shareholder approval is required. Melior's majority shareholder, Pala Investments, has provided written consent approving the Proposed Transaction which constitutes the requisite shareholder approval. The Proposed Transaction will be at arm's length, and accordingly, will not require shareholder approval beyond that described above.

A Filing Statement in respect of the Proposed Transaction will be prepared and filed in accordance with Policy 5.2 of the Exchange on SEDAR at www.sedar.com prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction. A press release will be issued once the Filing Statement has been filed as required pursuant to Exchange policies.

Sponsorship

The Exchange has conditionally waived the sponsorship requirements of Exchange Policy 5.2. The Corporation expects that a final waiver of the sponsorship requirement will be obtained prior to closing.

Loan Arrangement

Pursuant to a loan agreement, Melior has agreed to provide Belridge with short term financing in an aggregate amount of up to C$500,000 for ongoing operational costs. It is intended that any amounts outstanding after Closing will be refinanced in a tax efficient manner for Melior.

Board of Directors

In recognition of the expected transition of Melior from a Tier 1 Investment Issuer to a Tier 1 Mining Issuer, the Board has been reconstituted with operationally experienced executives who can support and guide the Corporation in its next phase of growth as a mining company.

The Corporation would like to thank departing directors Remo Mancini, Muneeb Yusuf and Evgenij Iorich for their stewardship of the Corporation as an Investment Issuer and for their successful identification of both Asian Mineral Resources and the Goondicum Project investment opportunities.

Commenting on the transaction, Remo Mancini said:

"On behalf of Muneeb Yusuf, Evgenij Iorich and myself, I would like to say how pleased we are with the Belridge acquisition. The Board's mission of transforming Melior from an investment company into a soon to be full-fledged significant operating entity has been successfully achieved and positions Melior well to drive growth in shareholder value"

Melior welcomes Glenn Black, Joe Connolly and Martyn Buttenshaw who have now joined the Board as new directors. It is expected that Mark McCauley will join the Board as a director and become Chief Executive Officer of Melior upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Technical Information

Mineral resources were estimated by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd ("H&SC"), a geological consultancy based in Sydney, NSW, Australia and are reported in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101.The effective date of the mineral resources estimates disclosed in this press release is February 25, 2014.

The scientific and technical information, in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Simon Tear (BSc (Hons), MIAusIMM, PGEO, EurGeol, MIMO3) a director H&SC, Graham Lee (BSc, FAusIMM, CP(Geo)), an Associate of H&SC and Chris Desoe (B.E.(Min)(Hons), FAusIMM, RPEQ, MMICA) a director of Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd, who are all Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101.

For detailed technical information please see the technical report prepared by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd, which will be posted on Melior's SEDAR profile.

The Goondicum crater is a layered gabbro complex with the mineralisation for the resource estimate (covered under ML80044), measuring approximately 3.5km by 1.3km and is up to 25m thick. The gabbro in the area under investigation has undergone multiphase oxidation and erosion producing a relatively complex weathering pattern of the host rock. A new geological model has been developed with four mineralised units being delineated from drilling information and surface topography/mapping, thought to represent in situ to short-distanced transported material from both alluvial and gravity slide (soil creep) processes. The decomposed gabbro is believed to be in situ. Mineralisation comprises resistive ilmenite liberated by the relatively complex weathering process.Â

Reporting of the resource estimates used a 2.5% available ilmenite cut-off grade and a partial percent volume adjustment factor for the 2013 topographic surface (Table 1). Classification of the resource estimates is primarily based on the search criteria after consideration of other impacting criteria e.g. grade continuity, QAQC, sample recovery, density and geological understanding. The 'recoverable ilmenite' field is the available ilmenite values multiplied by the anticipated plant recovery factor of 0.8 established by metallurgical testwork.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of the Indicated and Inferred Resources and the Ordinary Kriging search ellipses in plan view.

The resource estimates are based on 224 aircore drillholes for 2,394m drilled in 2009. Drill spacing was on a nominal 125m on an MGA94 Zone 56 orthogonal grid projection. The aircore drilling generated chip samples that were collected as bulk samples for each 1m drilled interval. The samples were transported to the Goondicum Minesite where they underwent sub-sampling prior to magnetic separation. The samples then underwent size and magnetic fraction analyses at Belridge's minesite before dispatch of selected composited intervals to Downer EDI Mining - Mineral Technologies Pty Ltd (Mineral Technologies) for Clerici float/sink testwork. The QAQC for the sampling has included the use of a matrix-matched standards and field duplicates of the original aircore samples with no significant issues reported. A total of 997 by 1m composites were used to model 'available ilmenite' and 2,430 by 1m slimes composites were modelled for the slimes grades.

Reconciliation of the new H&SC block model with the 2012-2013 production showed a 10% difference which is considered acceptable for an Indicated Resource.

Further exploration opportunities exist within the remainder of the Goondicum Crater as some of the earlier drilling work by Monto Minerals had intersected significant amounts of similar style mineralisation within the Crater.

A feasibility study has not been completed and there is no certainty the proposed operation will be economically viable.
