ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
23 July 2012
Outstanding High Grade Drilling intercepts from Hamersley Project
Results include; 74m @ 59.15% Fe (60.47% Calcined Fe)
Key points
-
Winmar has received results from the remaining 9 holes of its recently completed RC drill program at the Hamersley Iron project.
-
Results have produced further high grade intercepts of iron mineralisation with significant intersections in 6 holes.
-
Highlight results include an outstanding high grade intercept of;
-
74m @ 59.15%Fe (60.47% Calcined Fe) from 28m in PLRC0162, within a CID zone of 102m thickness.
-
Other high grade intercepts included;
-
28m @ 57.62% Fe (60.21% Calcined Fe) in PLRC0158 and
-
32m @ 56.81% Fe (60.57% Calcined Fe) in PLRC0159
-
Shallow high grade Detrital mineralisation was encountered above the CID in 3 holes in the south west of the deposit adjacent to hole PLRC0162.
-
This shallow high grade CID and Detrital zone will be the initial focus of development plans at the project.
-
Drilling designed to deliver a significant Resource upgrade, due in Q3, which will be used to provide an updated scoping study and mining plans.
Winmar Resources Limited (ASX: WFE) (Winmar) is pleased to announce further high grade intersections of iron mineralisation from its latest phase of drilling at the Hamersley Iron project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Winmar recently completed a 20 hole, 4012 metre RC drilling program at the Hamersley project, which included one diamond pre-collar.
It has now received assay results from the remaining 9 holes, and highlight results include an outstanding shallow high grade intercept (from 28 metres) of; 74 metres @ 59.14% Fe (60.47% Calcined Fe) in hole PLRC0162, within a broader Channel Iron Deposit (CID) zone of 102 metres @ 56.00% Fe (58.33% Calcined Fe).
A summary of the most significant new intersections is presented in Table 1. (Results from the first 11 holes were announced on the 16[th] July, and are shown in Table 3).

The results of this phase of drilling are designed to deliver a significant Resource upgrade, due later in Q3, which will be used to provide an updated scoping study and as input for potential mining plans.
The majority of holes on the program intersected CID material with the higher grade and thicker zones occurring on the Northern side of the deposit, and 13 holes returned significant intercepts. The project remains open in most directions.

In addition, significant CID intercepts were returned from 6 of the remaining 8 target depth holes. These included; 28 metres @ 57.62% Fe (60.21% Calcined Fe) in hole PLRC0158 and 32 metres @ 56.81% Fe (60.57% Calcined Fe) in hole PLRC0159 (see Figure 1 Locaton of new significant intercepts 2012 drill program) .
The latest assay results also returned significant results from the overlying detrital material in 3 of the holes from the southwest portion of the deposit. These results included; 26 metres @ 55.01% Fe (56.36% Calcined Fe) in PLRC0161, from 34 metres depth (see Table 2).
A large diameter Bauer rig is due on site in the next week to collect metallurgical samples of the detrital material.

The south western zone of CID and high grade Detrital material will be the initial focus of Winmar’s development plans for the deposit, and may provide an early pathway to production of beneficiated material and DSO. Figure 2 shows the deposit area with and image showing the overall thickness of high grade iron (>52% Fe). Some of the features of this image may reflect drilling that has failed to reach the base of mineralisation. There is also a contour of the area where the top of the orebody are within 40m of the surface.

Background to drilling program
Drilling was positioned on 400 metre spacings from previous drilling, and was designed to test for extensions to mineralisation. Drill holes to the northern side of the previous resource have shown the most consistent extensions and mineralised zones (see Figure 1). Importantly these results are outside the area of the current resource, which is a positive indicator for the upcoming new Resource estimate.
The latest phase of drilling supports a north-south trend of the main channel in the CID material, and is reinforced by the high grade result in hole PLRC0162. This may result in significant extensions to mineralisation within the northern area of the deposit.
Interpretation and assessment of all assay results from this phase of drilling is due to be completed by early August, and work will then commence on the resource upgrade. The current JORC Inferred Resource of 241.6Mt @ 54.3% Fe (which includes a main CID zone of 169.1Mt @ 55.6% Fe) will be extended by the drilling results, and will reinforce the project’s 350-400Mt @ 54-56% Fe exploration target.
About the Hamersley Iron Project
Winmar has a Joint Venture Agreement with Cazaly Iron Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly Resource (ASX: CAZ), for the Hamersley Project, whereby Winmar is able to earn 51% of the project via its exploration expenditure. Winmar has expended approximately $5 million to date and expect to complete its earn-in interest in the project by mid-2013, whereby Winmar would have expended a total of $6M as per the JV agreement with Cazaly Iron Pty Ltd.
Under the joint venture Winmar is undertaking and managing a $2.2 million exploration and development program in 2012 at the Hamersley project. This is designed to expand the project’s Resource base, advance metallurgical work on the deposit and complete surveys and studies to move the project towards prefeasibility.
The Hamersley project is located in the Tom Price Region of the Pilbara, in close proximity to Fortescue Metals’ (ASX: FMG) Solomon project and Rio Tinto’s (ASX: RIO) Marandoo and Brockman mines.

Competent Persons:
The information in this document that relates to exploration targets, exploration results and drilling data of Winmar projects is based on information compiled by Mr David Jenkins, a full time employee of Terra Search Pty Ltd, geological consultants employed by Winmar Resources. Mr Jenkins has a BSc. Honors degree in geology and is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. The information in this document that relates to the Winmar Deposit Resource Estimate is based on information compiled by Mr Craig Allison who is a Member of the AusIMM and a fulltime employee of Runge Limited, an independent resource consultancy group. Both Mr Allison and Mr Jenkins have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Allison and Mr Jenkins consent to the inclusion of their names in the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
Exploration Target:
The Exploration Target refers to the conceptual extended mineralisation of the Winmar Deposit and surrounding prospects including detrital, channel and bedded mineralisation, based on drilling to date; interpreted geological model and complementary geophysics. At the present time there is insufficient drilling to determine the extended mineralisation and estimate, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of such mineralisation or estimate.
