Geology & Mining
----- End of picture text -----
-
Mineralisation at Iron Ridge starts at surface and plunges gently to the south-west along strike with the deepest mineralisation intersected 230m below surface
-
Consistent high grades recorded in the main BIF after 2040m hard cap mineralisation (minor elevated alumina)
-
Feasibility assumes a single open pit operation using conventional excavator‐truck mining fleet, adopting 10m benches and mining these benches in 3 flitches
-
Ore and waste will be hauled to the ROM pad and waste dump respectively by a fleet of 100 tonne haul trucks
-
Drill and blast will be conducted using a top hammer drill rig and ANFO or heavy ANFO explosives
-
The Feasibility Study determined that over the 6.5 year LOM, ~8 million tonnes of high-grade hematite grading approximately 64% Fe will be extracted

-
Approximately 44% of the estimated capex is not payable until commercial production
-
A further $3 million of capex to be spent in year one of the project mostly in Q4
-
C1 Operating Costs are comprised of: 56.3% road transport costs 27.1% to mine and processing 12.1% to port costs
-
4.5% to corporate and administration

Low Capex contract mining & trucking concept facilitated by key project characteristics
Good Roads Sealed highway runs within ~15km of project. 490km (by road) to Geraldton Port Trucking Joint Venture Fenix formed a strategic alliance, via a 50/50 JVC, with Newhaul Pty Ltd in May 2019 . Importantly the alliance provides trucking services to the Project; and Introduces the expertise of Craig Mitchell – founder and former owner of transport and logistics provider Mitchell Corp
Port Capacity Substantial spare port capacity and 5,000tph dedicated iron ore ship loading facility at Geraldton Port currently under-utilised
Joint Cooperation Agreement
Fenix has entered into a Joint Cooperation agreement with the manager of Geraldton Port, the Mid West Ports Authority, relating to the provision of Port Access, Capacity Reservation, Handling Services; and product export contracts
