him an invaluable addition to the BRL board. In particular he is highly regarded and internationally

sustainable development factors.
Mr Carbon has a long standing involvement with environmental issues in the Darling Range and Kemerton
Industrial Area and an intimate knowledge, understanding and experience of the approval mechanisms and
workings of the relevant government departments at both state and federal level. Mr Carbon's
qualifications and industry experience could not provide a better background for presiding over BRL's board
as its grows its planned 3MTPA Direct Shipping Ore business and in implementing BRL's Stage 2 Plans for an
Alumina Refinery in the South West of Western Australia.
The BRL board looks forward to working with Barry to deliver on BRL's Mission Statement to become a low

On his appointment Mr Carbon commented as follows
"I have watched Bauxite Resources Ltd from its ASX listing some 2 years ago and have seen its extensive
tenement holding and its rapid development and achievements to date. I congratulate Managing Director
Dan Tenardi and his experienced management team for its maiden shipment of bauxite. The Darling Range
is the world's largest bauxite and alumina producing region in the world, producing around 18%, of the
world's alumina, is home to 4 alumina refineries with established mining and environmental practices
formulated over the past 40 years. Bauxite Resources is well placed to join this sector and I look forward to
working together with the Bauxite Resources board in implementing its business plans."
