* Ore and concentrate grades taken from company presentations
** Coolybring results based on 6 drill holes across the magnetite section and assume silica reduction by flotation
- Ore grade is at the high end of the range and comparable to advanced WA projects
- Recovered grade at 26% is also comparatively high
- Satisfactory concentrate silica grade should be achieved by flotation
- Coolybring concentrate compares will with its competitors

Power Alternatives for TarcoolaPower Alternatives for Tarcoola

100 Mw of power required if all processing is conducted at Tarcoola
- Extend the state grid from Pimba (250km), Olympic Dam (220km) or Port Augusta (400km) to Tarcoola
