CORPORATE
Strategy and Business Model
Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited (“Cape Lambert” or the “Company”) (ASX: CFE ) is an Australian domiciled, cashed–up resources and investment company, with interests in a number of resource projects and companies.
Through acquisitions in its own right and the acquisition of CopperCo Limited’s assets, and subscriptions to convertible notes, the Company has exposure to iron ore, copper, gold, uranium, phosphate and lead-silver-zinc assets in Australia, Africa and South America (refer Figure 1).
The Company’s strategy is to acquire and invest in undervalued and distressed mineral assets and companies (“Assets”), and to add value to those Assets through a hands on approach to management, exploration and evaluation to enable the Assets to be monetised at a multiple. As Assets are monetised, the Board of the Company intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to shareholders.
Acquisition of CopperCo Assets
On 29 June 2009, Cape Lambert completed the acquisition of the assets of CopperCo Limited (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (“CopperCo”). The assets included the Lady Annie copper project, the high-grade Sappes gold project, a 25% interest in the high-grade Lady Loretta lead-zinc-silver project and interests in various listed resource companies and other projects.
Takeover of Corvette Resources
During the quarter, the Company finalised its off-market, all scrip offer for the remaining issued shares in gold exploration company, Corvette Resources Limited (“Corvette”).
Cape Lambert initially acquired a 19.9% stake in Corvette as part of the acquisition of the CopperCo assets.
The offer closed on 11 September 2009, and the Company was successful in acquiring an additional 26.6%, thereby increasing its holding to 46.5% of the fully paid shares on issue in Corvette.
Convertible Notes

PROJECTS
Lady Annie Project (100% interest) (“Lady Annie”)
Care and Maintenance
Lady Annie is located approximately 120 km north of Mt Isa, Queensland (refer Figure 2).
Lady Annie was initially developed by CopperCo, who commissioned a 19,000 tpa copper cathode mining operation in October 2007. In September 2008, CopperCo expanded the plant with the objective of increasing output progressively to 30,000 tpa by mid 2009. In November 2008, CopperCo placed itself into Voluntary Administration and its assets were subsequently purchased by Cape Lambert in June 2009.
In February 2009, mining activities at Lady Annie were suspended and the project was placed on care and maintenance. Copper extraction from the heap leach pads has continued at a reduced rate since the discontinuance of mining. Cape Lambert has retained a small number of CopperCo’s workforce, including key technical staff, to continue with copper extraction and to help maintain the overall facilities.
Copper sales for the September 2009 quarter totalled 559.5 tonnes, realising US$3.2 million. Copper cathode is sold to Tennant Metals Pty Ltd at the mine gate at the London Metal Exchange cash buyers copper price on the day of shipment less US$178 per tonne.
Tenements
At the end of the September quarter, the Lady Annie tenement holdings comprised 29 granted Exploration Permits for Minerals (“EPMs”) with a total area of 1,613 km[2] and 14 Mining Leases with a total area of 29.45 km[2] .
In addition there were a total of 57 applications. Six (6) of the applications cover 21 granted EPMs, which have been conditionally surrendered to amalgamate the immediate Lady Annie EPMs into 6 consolidated project areas for optimal exploration management and statutory tenement reporting. Forty six (46) applications have sole and first priority to grant. The remaining 5 applications are competitive.
Exploration
An Exploration Manager for Lady Annie was appointed during the quarter.
Work during the quarter focused on import and compilation of the Lady Annie exploration databases, and interpretation and prioritisation of targets.
The Lady Annie tenements contain several exploration targets with the potential to substantially add to the oxide copper resources and extend mine life.
These comprise:
-
extensions and additions at the known deposits;
-
prospects with limited drilling; and
-
untested targets comprising coincident geochemical and geostructural anomalies.
Extensions to the known deposits comprise areas that are not closed off by drilling at Lady Brenda, Flying Horse, Mt Clarke and Anthill (refer Figure 3). Infill drilling and mine optimisation studies are planned to upgrade the confidence of a number of these resources to enable them to be incorporated into the mining inventory.
Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited September 2009 Quarterly Report
Page 6 of 13
ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ending 30 September 2009
There are several prospects where scout drilling by CopperCo and previous explorers returned encouraging results that are to be followed up. These prospects include Wild Gecko, Dividend, McLeod Hill and Lady Maggie (refer Figure 3). In addition there are several targets where surficial copper anomalies, associated with regional structures have not been drill tested. These include Redie Creek, Johnson Creek and Python (refer Figure 3).
Field exploration work is scheduled to commence early in 2010.
Sappes Gold Project (100% interest) (“Sappes”)
Sappes is located in north eastern Greece approximately 30 km north west of the Aegean Sea port city of Alexandroupolis, on a 20.1 km[2] mining lease, granted until 2023.
Sappes is based on the development of the underground high-grade Viper Deposit and an open pit nearby at the St Demetrios deposit. A feasibility study was completed in 2003 by Kvaerner Engineering and Construction UK Ltd (“Kvaerner”) and updated in 2006.
The Company aims to permit Sappes to enable its sale with the permitting risk removed. Permitting is expected to take in the order of 24-36 months with minimum expenditure related to the updating of the Kvaerner 2006 feasibility study, and environmental impact studies.
A review of Sappes commenced during the quarter and preliminary discussions were held with Aker Solutions (formerly Kvaerner), with regard to updating the various studies. Cape Lambert personnel are proposing to visit Sappes during the December 2009 quarter, to meet key stakeholders and to determine the best strategy for the timely completion of the permitting process.
Marampa Iron Ore Project (35% interest and Manager) (“Marampa”)
Marampa is a hematite iron ore project at exploration stage, comprising a single exploration licence, which is located 90 km northeast of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Hardrock Exploration
Mapping and Trenching
Work during the quarter focused on the generation of a structural geological model for the Gafal West prospect, detailed geological mapping and trenching at the Matukia prospect and geological mapping and sampling of pits at the Makambo prospect (refer Figure 4).
The Gafal West prospect extends 4 km to the west over a zone 1-3 km wide from the old DELCO open pit at Gafal Hill. During the quarter, SRK Consulting (“SRK”) completed a structural geological model of the Gafal West prospect using data from completed diamond drill holes and from mapping of trenches and pits completed earlier in 2009. The structural model indicates a broad basinal structural setting to the hematite mineralisation at Gafal West, with an outcrop strike length of over 8 km represented as two limbs of an east southeast plunging synform. The structural model has greatly advanced the understanding of the detailed fold morphology of the hematite mineralisation, which will result in optimum drill hole positioning as the drilling program progresses.
As part of the SRK study, 17 thin sections of the principal lithologies were prepared and analysed. These indicated that the host rocks to the hematite mineralisation are a series of quarto-feldspathic schists derived from sedimentary rocks, with the hematite horizon representing an iron-rich sedimentary precursor.
Assay results were received for the four trenches completed at the Gafal West prospect and are shown in Table 1. The best results were from trench MPTR001C, which returned 230 m
Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited September 2009 Quarterly Report
Page 7 of 13
ASX Announcement Quarterly Report Period Ending 30 September 2009
at 43% Fe from the western limb of a third generation (“F3”) synform located 1 km west of the F3 synform at Gafal Hill.
Prospect-scale mapping and trenching was completed at the Matukia prospect in preparation for the start of drilling in the first quarter of 2010. Matukia is located immediately to the north northeast of the old DELCO Masaboin Hill open pit (refer Figure 4). The mapping confirmed that outcropping hematite schist mineralisation extends continuously for over 2 km. A total of four trenches were completed across the main ridge at the Matukia prospect, with assay results expected in the December 2009 quarter.
Geological mapping and sampling of historical prospecting pits was completed at the Makambo prospect, located approximately 8 km north of the town of Lunsar. This is a new prospect identified by regional mapping. The mapping indicates areas of specular hematite schist outcropping over a strike length of approximately 800 m. Assay results from the historical pits sampled as part of the mapping program are shown in Table 2. These results indicate the potential for the Makambo prospect to host hematite mineralisation similar in grade to Gafal West.
Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling at the Gafal West prospect continued throughout the quarter with a total of 2,764 m completed, bringing the total meters completed since the start of the current program in June 2009 to 3,576.4 m in 8 drill holes (refer Table 3). The aim of the drilling program is to complete a 2 km long representative geological section across the prospect area to confirm the detailed fold morphology and aid the planning of further drilling. All diamond drill holes at Gafal West are being oriented to allow the collection of accurate structural measurements to be used to model the fold patterns of the host stratigraphy.
Logging and structural measurements of the diamond drill core completed to date, in combination with the SRK structural modelling, indicate that there are two F3 synforms present along the 2 km long section covering the eastern part of the Gafal West prospect.
The first assay results from the Gafal West diamond drilling program are expected late in the December 2009 quarter.
Auger Drilling of Gafal Pit Rim Stockpile
During the quarter, a total of 16 holes for 108 m of auger drilling were completed over a stockpile remaining from the previous DELCO mining operation at Gafal Hill. Holes were drilled on a 50 m x 50 m grid with depths varying from 1 m to 13 m with an average depth of 7 m, including a minimum of 1 m into the substrate.
Two samples were split from each 1 m interval for head assay and metallurgical test work, respectively. The head samples were air freighted to Ultra Trace Geoanalytical Laboratories, Perth for analysis. The assay results are summarised in Table 4. The average lengthweighted grade of the auger samples is 38% Fe.
Cape Lambert South Project (100% interest) (“Cape Lambert South”)
No work was conducted at Cape Lambert South during the quarter. The annual report to the WA Department of Mines and Energy was completed and submitted.
