WEST PEAK IRON LTD

DANDARAGA TENEMENT GRANTED AND INITIAL ROCK CHIP RESULTS RECEIVED

The Board of West Peak Iron (West Peak or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has been granted the 100% owned Dandaraga tenement (E57/0839) which covers a total area of 133 km² in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. Results from initial rock chip sampling taken during a reconnaissance visit have also been received.

Key Points:

  • The Dandaraga tenement contains 2 km of outcropping BIF in the emerging Yilgarn Iron Province.
  • Outcropping BIF is coincident with a 7 km long aeromagnetic anomaly. This anomaly forms part of a broader, 27 km long magnetic feature extending the length of the tenement.
  • Initial rock chip sampling has returned assay results of 32.56% to 58.34% Fe, which includes traverse samples of:
  • 163 metres at 38.87% Fe
  • 136 metres at 37.11% Fe
  • 119 metres at 35.84% Fe
  • Detailed mapping and further sampling is planned to assess the iron potential within the tenement area.
  • Two additional tenements, forming part of the Dandaraga Project, remains under application.

OVERVIEW

The Directors of West Peak are pleased to announce that the 100% owned Dandaraga tenement (E57/0839) covering a total area of 133 km² in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia has been granted. The Dandaraga Project also includes two tenement applications and is located approximately 70 km north of the Cashmere and Mount Forrest Iron Projects (Figure 1).

West Peak Executive Chairman, David Parker said, "we are pleased to have been granted the Dandaraga tenement in the emerging Yilgarn Iron Province and look forward to building on the initial field work and unlocking the potential of the project area".

EXPLORATION PROGRAM

West Peak has carried out an initial field reconnaissance visit which involved confirming the presence of outcropping banded iron formation (BIF) identified on published regional maps. The outcropping BIF is coincident with a strong aeromagnetic anomaly with a strike length of $7\mathrm{km}$ . This anomaly forms part of a broader magnetic feature which spans the entire length of the tenement, approximately $27\mathrm{km}$ .

Initial field work included broad-scale mapping of the BIF sequence and rock chip sampling including eight traverses. Traverse sample lines were completed at $250\mathrm{m}$ intervals along strike, as shown in Figure 2.

Following a full review of these first pass results, West Peak intends to commence a second phase of work comprising detailed mapping and additional rock chip sampling with a view to delineating an initial target for drill testing.

Coordinates are in GDA94 MGA Zone 50. BID = Bedded Iron Deposit. All samples were analysed by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF). Loss of Ignition (LOI) values were determined using Thermo-Gravimetric Analyses at 1000°C.

Rock chip traverse sampling method involved collection of a sample weighing approximately 2 to 3 kg by hammering surface outcrop at nominal 10 metre spacing, generally across the strike of the BIF.

ABOUT WEST PEAK

West Peak Iron Ltd (West Peak) is a new 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. The Company is now in the process of initiating exploration activities over these tenements.

ASX code - WPI Market Cap @ 22 cps - $5.3m
Issued shares - 24.0m Cash - $1.5m (approx.)

LIBERIA

West Peak has 1,692 km² of granted tenure prospective for iron ore in Liberia through a combination of reconnaissance and exploration licences 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). The Company is currently preparing to carry out a field program involving mapping and rock chip sampling to identify prospective targets for drill testing later in 2011.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

West Peak holds nine granted tenements and 32 tenement applications, of which five are subject to ballot, in the emerging Mid West and Yilgarn Iron Provinces. 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 holding economic iron mineralisation.
