Figure 1- Pilbara Tenement Holding

Certain regional aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies located within the Goldsworthy tenements were considered by IGO to be prospective for iron ore. IGO/WAR further enhanced these regional anomalies by detailed ground magnetic and gravity surveys prior to drill testing in late 2006. Reverse circulation drill hole (DGRC016) intersected anomalous platinum group elements, gold and copper values whilst drill testing one of several circular gravity anomalies:

  • 30m@ 220ppb PGE + Au, 0.15% Cu from 60-90m (EOH) beneath 60 metres of cover.

Modelling of the gravity, magnetics and drilling data indicated that the hole just pierced the modelled pipe like mafic intrusive. Refer to figure 2.

Figure 2 - Gravity PGE Target

Brumby as part of the Agreement will undertake a follow up reverse circulation drill programme to better test the identified mafic intrusive. IGO has the necessary statutory approvals in place to enable this programme to be commenced once a drilling contractor can be contracted for the work.

The terms of the Agreement which excludes any rights to iron ore is as follows. IGO and WAR have granted Brumby an exclusive right to explore the Project for a period of 6 months, during which time Brumby must spend no less than $150,000 on exploration, including the completion of 2 reverse circulation drill holes to test the identified mafic intrusive. Brumby may not withdraw from the Project during the Option Period, which may be extended by up to 3 months or more should Brumby be unable to reasonably complete the programme.

At any time during the Option Period, Brumby may elect to enter into a joint venture (“JV”) over the Project. If it does so, Brumby may earn up to a 60% interest in the Project by spending an amount equal to two times the minimum expenditure required by the Department of Industry and Resources for a period of 3.5 years (including the initial $150,000 expenditure).

Brumby can elect to earn a further 15% interest in the Project by the expenditure of a further $2 million over a further 3 year period.

Brumby has issued 343,750 fully paid shares to WAR. The ASX 3B, Application for Quotation of Shares, accompanies this release.

Should Brumby enter into a JV on the Project, WAR will transfer its interest in the Project to IGO and Brumby will issue a further 687,500 fully paid shares to WAR, (or the equivalent number of shares to equate to a value of $110,000 if Brumby’s share price is below 16 cents when it elects to enter into a JV). WAR will receive a 1% gross smelter royalty on any minerals mined from the Project.

The Project adds to Brumby’s very large and strategic land holding in the Pilbara Region and significantly enhances the multi commodity potential of our exploration focus and overall strategic objectives.
