Six more holes will be drilled, adding to the eight holes drilled in December 2009, which revealed high grade (63.4% Fe) intersections.

Mt Forrest is located 150 km northeast of Menzies, WA and the railway line which connects with the Port of Esperance. The project comprises a block of seven mining leases covering 50 sq km and over 17 km of strike. The leases are held by Mindax's 100 percent-owned YilgIron Pty Ltd.

The Directors would also like to remind eligible shareholders that the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) announced to the market on 15 December 2009 closes at 5pm (AWST) on 8 January 2010 .

About Mt Forrest Iron Project

Located in the Richardson Ranges, Mindax's 100 percent-owned YilgIron Pty Ltd’s promising Mt Forrest Iron Ore project lies 150 km north-west of the railway line at Menzies which connects with the Port of Esperance iron ore export shipping facility.

The project covers seven mining leases over 50 sq km and includes extensive iron formation as multiple bands within a folded package varying from 500 to 2000 metres width, over 17 km of strike. A small high-grade hematite deposit is recorded at Mt Richardson, immediately to the south of the Project area.

Systematic detailed mapping and rock chip sampling by YilgIron indicates extensive hematite-magnetite mineralisation at surface. Exploration priority is being given to identifying direct shipping hematite ores, with quantification of the extensive magnetite ore potential to be undertaken in the future.

December 2009 reconnaissance drilling bears out the modelling generated from systematic detailed surface mapping and rock chip sampling. Prospective ironstones shown by surface mapping are confirmed by intersections at depths up to 50 metres below the surface.

These confirm the presence of high-grade haematites:

  • 5m @ 63.4% Fe from 31m in MFC0003

  • 4m @ 62.9% Fe from 13m in MFC0007

  • 3m @ 61.7% Fe from 7m in MFC0001

within wider iron rich (haematite and geothitic) zones of various widths ranging up to 19 metres thickness.

The Mt Forrest Project also includes the Paradise Bore indicated/inferred oxide resource of 36,000 oz gold. This is hosted by the Cabaret Trend, a mineralised structure along the West Limb that has returned drill intersections of >3 g/t over 10 km.
