Managing Director Comment
Commenting on the imminent commencement of drilling, Fenix’s Managing Director, Robert Brierley, commented:
“ This drill program is an important step in completing the necessary technical assessments required to complete the feasibility study on development of the Iron Ridge Project. We look forward to intersecting more iron ore mineralisation and reporting back to shareholders as we progress towards direct shipping production in the fastest possible timeframe, all the while maintaining high standards of quality control and risk management. By combining the infill and geotechnical drilling programs we have saved valuable drill meterage and preserved cash resources in the process.”

About Fenix Resources
Fenix Resources is a WA-based minerals explorer transitioning to miner.
The company’s 100% owned, flagship Iron Ridge Iron Ore Project is a premium DSO deposit which hosts a JORC 2012 compliant resource located around 490 km by road from Geraldton port.
High grade iron ore attracts a premium price on the seaborne market as Chinese steel works increasingly demand more pure inputs with lower emissions due to increasing strict government regulations.
Only requiring crushing and screening, the ore is proposed to be trucked to the port by a JV signed off on 7 May, with trucking specialist Minehaul Pty Ltd headed by respected logistics expert Craig Mitchell who was the founder and owner of Mitchell Corp before selling to Toll Group.
Negotiations are well advanced with Mid West Ports Authority at Geraldton where export capacity is available.
Pit planning, metallurgical work and mining and environmental approvals are currently being undertaken.
