WONMUNNA PROJECT - INITIAL DRILLING RESULTS CONFIRM IRON ORE POTENTIAL

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 36m @ 58.84% Fe (including 20m @ 61.41% Fe)

  • 24m @ 59.73% Fe (including 8m @ 61.28% Fe)

  • 40m @ 55.70% Fe

The Company is pleased to announce that results of first pass reconnaissance drilling of the Wonmunna project, Pilbara region, Western Australia, have confirmed the potential of this area to host significant iron ore mineralisation.

Results received to date are for the first 48 drillholes (1,745m) in 4 incomplete drill traverses along existing tracks (Figure 1). As a result of this ‘opportunistic’ siting of drillholes, this initial drilling is arbitrary and very wide spaced, and was intended only to confirm the presence and nature of iron ore mineralisation. An additional 50 drillholes are planned for completion of the program by the end of the calendar year. These initial results therefore represent approximately 50% of the initial reconnaissance drill program.

All available results are from 4 metre composites. Follow up assay at 1 metre intervals of mineralised sections is in progress.

Significant results are detailed in Table 1 below.

These initial results from the reconnaissance drilling program indicate strong hematite mineralisation in the Marra Mamba Iron Formation, up to 20m @ 61.41% iron, with acceptable levels of impurities including P, Al2O3 and SiO2. These grades are favourably comparable with those from adjacent iron ore mining operations at West Angeles, Area C and Hope Downs.

It is significant to note that the two best Marra Mamba intercepts, drillholes WNC062 and WNC067, are situated approximately 1,500m along strike from each other. The previously reported Poondano drillhole, TRC032 (Figure1) with a intercept of 22m @ 60.8% Fe, is situated a further 1,300m east of drillhole WNC067. Collectively, these three drill intercepts occur over a total strike length of 2,800m, remaining open to both east and west over a total potential strike length in excess of 5,500m.

Infill drilling to test for strike continuity between the mineralised intercepts is to commence immediately.

The southern and eastern Marra Mamba, each of potential strike lengths of 4,000m and 2,500m respectively, remain untested by drilling.

Channel Iron Deposit (CID) mineralisation has also been intersected, from surface, in several drillholes, often directly overlying mineralised Marra Mamba Iron Formation. Whilst generally thin, and of low grade, these initial drillholes appear to be in the less prospective ‘upstream’ portion of the CID.

It is of interest to note that the better CID intercepts directly overly Marra Mamba hematite mineralisation.

The Company remains of the opinion that the CID remains poorly tested by drilling and good potential remains for the identification of significant CID iron ore mineralisation.

In summary, these initial results confirm the strong iron ore potential of the project. The remainder of the reconnaissance drill program results will be released as they become available.

Yours sincerely
