TEM | Additional Iron Targets At Euro
Key Points
-
Additional 45 iron rich outcrops identified and mapped
-
Horizons of prospective geology within a large 20km strike corridor
-
Fieldwork including further geological sampling and preparation of high priority target areas to commence in August
News Item
Tempest Minerals Ltd (TEM) is pleased to update the market regarding the identification of further iron rich horizons encountered at the Company’s 100% Euro Project in the Yalgoo Region of Western Australia.
Recently TEM announcements regarding the presence of iron rich geology mapped during reconnaissance field work [1] . Mapping in July has identified an additional 45 outcrops of similar iron rich geology in the south and central parts of the Euro Project which has extended the overall potential strike length to over 20 kilometres.
TEM’s ongoing fieldwork continues to uncover geology prospective [2] for both gold, base metals and iron ore in an environment known for world class deposits including 4 major mining projects within 5km.
Euro Project
Background
The Euro Project is more than 176km[2] of 100% TEM owned tenements which comprises part of the Companies exciting exploration portfolio in the Yalgoo region of Western Australia totalling more than 900km[2] (>604km[2] granted and 311 km[2] of pending tenure) [3] .
Parts of the project were explored in the 1990’s and early 2000’s for gold and iron ore, with drilling occurring in the north of the project area encountering significant gold mineralisation but due to depressed metal prices, were not considered priority at the time and not followed up.
The Euro Project is wedged between 4 current major operations: Karara (Iron), Shine (Iron), Mt Mulgine (Gold/Tungsten) and Rothsay (Gold/Copper) and share the same geology. Yet despite this, much of the project remains largely unexplored.
Geology
The Euro Project is located in the southern Yalgoo Greenstone belt with legacy mapping showing intercalated layers of ultramafic, mafic and felsic rocks within a heavily folded and sheared structural regime.

Isolated references to subordinate Banded Iron Formations [4] by previous geologists appear to be significantly underestimated, possibly due to reliance on remote sensing of low resolution data and insufficient ground truthing. Tempest recently reported the presence of iron bearing formations in the north of the Euro Project which exhibited banded textures consistent with those found at nearby mining operations.

Fieldwork in July included geological mapping with soil and rock samples collected in wide spaced traverses in the central and southern portions of the Euro Project.
This mapping has outlined numerous further outcrops of iron rich stratigraphy that occur both in the central portion and particularly in the southern segment of the project where more than 45 outcrops were mapped over a distance of more than 8 kilometres.
Before unseasonable wet weather hindered ongoing work, 319 soil and rock samples were collected within these wide spaced traverses and have been submitted for laboratory analysis. This work will continue in August.
Initial observations of iron enrichment and hydrothermal mineralogy observed by field geologists have been noted in geological mapping as potentially representing skarn-like alteration.
Skarn is a style of mineralisation commonly associated with large scale deposits of iron, gold and tungsten where granitoids come in contact with favourable geological units [5] . Skarn mineralisation in the Yalgoo region is known at multiple locations including Mt Mulgine [6] and is considered related to several others.

-
Ongoing surface sampling and mapping to continue in August
-
Fieldwork including native title surveys to commence in August
