ABOUT WEST PEAK
West Peak Iron Ltd (West Peak) is an exploration company with a focus on iron ore exploration.
West Peak has focused on increasing its licence holdings through direct tenement applications both in Western Australia and Liberia since floating on the ASX in 2010. West Peak’s strategy is to actively explore its land holding to identify and focus on those projects which are believed to have the greatest potential for economic iron mineralisation through staged exploration programs. The Company’s activities are dependent on the maintenance of appropriate licences, permits and regulatory consents which may be withheld, withdrawn or made subject to limitations.
Market Cap @ 14 cps - $3.85m Cash - $1.65 (circa)
ASX code – WPI Issued shares – 27.5m Unlisted Options – 12.5m (14.25m options post shareholder approvals)
LIBERIA
West Peak has 1,007 km[2] of granted tenure prospective for iron ore in Liberia through a combination of reconnaissance and exploration licences for iron ore in the Grand Bassa, Bomi, Bong and River Cess counties. All licences contain identified iron-bearing formations and are located close to port, rail and road infrastructure (both existing and currently being upgraded to meet iron ore industry requirements). Following on from the success of the initial field work the Company now plans to undertake a detailed aeromagnetic survey, follow the wet season and subject to finalisation of a contractor.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
West Peak has built up a land holding comprising 15 granted tenements and 28 tenement applications, several being subject to ballot, in the emerging Mid West and Yilgarn Iron Provinces. High grade rock chip results have been received from the Warriedar tenement and indicate the potential for DSO type mineralisation. A magnetite target has been identified at the Dandaraga tenement from mapping and rock chip sampling of an outcropping BIF.
