OPTION EXECUTED TO ACQUIRE YARRIE IRON-ORE PROJECT
Highlights
-
Company enters into an option to acquire significant north Pilbara land package from Creasy Group called “Yarrie Iron Ore Project” (“Yarrie”)
-
Yarrie is immediately adjacent to BHP’s Yarrie, Goldsworthy, Nimingarra and Shay Gap mines and prospective for high grade Fe.
Location is well serviced by infrastructure and close to coast.
Coziron Resources Limited (“Coziron” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option to acquire the Yarrie project from XFE Pty Ltd, a company controlled by Mark Creasy. Details of the arrangement are as follows:
Project Summary
Yarrie consists of four contiguous exploration licences held by XFE Pty Ltd (three granted, E45/3725, E45/3728, E45/4065 and one application E47/3727) covering a total of 1,022.2km[2] and located 160km east of Port Hedland (Fig 1). The Yarrie tenements are largely underexplored. They share boundaries in the central part with the Yarrie-Goldsworthy mining project which was until recently, operated by BHP Billiton PLC (BHP), while Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (FMG) hold granted exploration licences along the northern boundary of the project.
The tenements are serviced by a bitumen road and natural gas pipeline between Pt Hedland and the Telfer copper-gold mine and major regional roads which service the cattle industry and other mining towns in the region. The BHP owned rail connection between the Yarrie-Goldsworthy mining area and Port Hedland also services this area (see figure 1 below for details)

Prospectivity
The Yarrie project, located in the North Pilbara, is prospective for high-grade iron-ore (Fe>62%) deposits within Archaean-age sequences of volcanics and sediments termed the Cleaverville Terrain (Fig 2). These rocks unconformably overlie the granite basement, but underlie units of the Hamersley Basin. The Yarrie project covers outcrop extensions of the Cleaverville in the central and southern areas. In addition, there is significant tenement coverage to the east and north where interpretations of magnetic surveys indicate the presence of highly magnetic iron-formation subcrop beneath shallow cover. Within the sequence, the priority exploration targets are the parts of the Nimingarra Iron Formation which may be altered to high-grade haematite.

Significance of Yarrie to Coziron Resources Ltd
Yarrie provides Coziron with exposure to the North Pilbara, which is known to be mineralised with high-grade (premium quality) iron-ore. The tenements are in close proximity to the coast and well serviced by infrastructure, which is used to service existing mining and exploration projects in the area. An assessment of the existing data on the Yarrie project including results from high-resolution airborne magnetic surveys will provide a focus for future work. In addition to the prospectivity for high-grade iron-ore, the project is prospective for copper-gold and associated base-metal mineralisation which, will be assessed as part of the exploration process.
Terms of the Option Agreement
The Company has entered into an Option Agreement to Purchase the Yarrie tenements from XFE Pty Ltd.
The Option Agreement grants Coziron the exclusive right to purchase a 70% interest in the Yarrie tenements by spending $230,000 to explore and conduct due diligence on the Yarrie tenements (“Option”). In the event the Option is exercised, Coziron shall acquire a 70% interest in the Yarrie tenements in a joint venture with XFE Pty Ltd.
The Option expires on 30 September 2014
In the event that the Option is exercised, the consideration payable by Coziron to acquire the 70% interest in the Yarrie tenements is the issue of 100 million Coziron Resources Limited shares at $0.02 per share, plus the reimbursement of $711,234 for prior expenditure expenses.
