Southdown Magnetite Project PROJECT SUMMARY

  • ♦ Located 90km north east of Port of Albany on south coast of WA
  • ♦ 3 granted mining leases, 1700 hectares, freehold farming property
  • ♦ Mineralisation occurs within a banded quartz magnetite gneiss
  • $\le$ Thickness 50-100m, dipping 60 degrees south
  • Weathered surface zone 20 40m thick
  • ♦ Drilling and evaluation during 1986/1987 reported a resource of 83 mt at a magnetite cut-off grade of 15% to a depth of 150 - 170 metres in the western 2Km of the mining leases.
  • ♦ Deposit is sparsely drilled and potential exists to significantly increase resources both at depth and along strike.
  • ◆ A new drilling programme by Grange commenced in November 2004 to evaluate resources at depth and along strike.
  • ♦ Metallurgical evaluation in 1987 showed:
  • $\bullet$ A coarse concentrate grade of 64.6%Fe could be achieved by
    • grinding ore to 0.15mm and using magnetic separation
  • $\triangle$ At a 15% magnetite cut-off grade, magnetite recovery to concentrate at 69.3%Fe estimated at 37.4%
