Western Australian developer and explorer Fenix Resources Limited ( Company ) is pleased to report on its activities for the December 2018 quarter.
Maiden Drill Program at Iron Ridge Project Commenced
During the quarter Fenix received all necessary approvals to commence a combined diamond and RC drill program at its flagship Iron Ridge Project in the Mid-west region of Western Australia. The drill program was designed to test the depth and strike extent of the existing Inferred Resource of 5.0Mt at 64.1% Fe[1] , as well as increase the confidence level of the Resource to Indicated category.

CSA Global Pty Ltd (CSA Global) had previously prepared documentation to allow the Mineral Resource to be reported in accordance to the JORC Code (2012 Edition)[1] status and subsequently completed an Exploration Target of 0.6Mt to 7.1Mt of predominantly hematite mineralisation in a grade range of between 64.1% Fe and 65.3% with low deleterious elements, and a further 0.1Mt to 5.7Mt of goethite mineralisation grading 58% to 59.5% Fe with slightly elevated deleterious elements (Refer ASX announcement of 7 May 2018).
Please note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The exploration target is based on historical exploration results as well as a field visit conducted by CSA Global in 2018.

Figure 1: Drill Hole Location Plan
A reduced number of RC metres were drilled than originally planned as the anticipated north-eastern strike extensions did not eventuate, however additional RC metres were drilled to the west as extensions to the mineralised zone were identified. Additionally, some holes had to be abandoned prematurely due to drilling difficulties arising from water ingress and trouble air lifting the high-density hematite intersected in some of the deeper holes.
Subsequent to the quarter, the Company advised it had received all the assay results from the 21 RC holes drilled in two batches (the first batch of results was announced 17 January and the second batch on 23 January 2019).

These latest results detailed in Table 1 , illustrate the consistent high grades in the Main BIF unit with nine separate intercepts of between 20m and 70m grading >64.8% Fe.

The Company now awaits assay results for all of the diamond core samples. The 8 diamond holes and one diamond tail targeted the same mineralisation as the RC holes with the core also intended to be used for metallurgical and geotechnical testwork.
In addition, Fenix expects the results from the metallurgical testwork to be available in February and a new Mineral Resource to be completed in March 2019
$4.5 Million Prospectus Offer Closed
During the period the Company advised that the offers made under the Company’s Prospectus dated 5 September 2018 successfully closed on 2 November 2018.
