-
TNG tenure in the Roper River area of the Northern Territory increased to 259km[2] with application for two new tenements.
-
60km strike of highly prospective Sherwin Iron Formation now held.
-
New tenements located along strike and in same geological province from existing iron ore mining operations.
TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) is pleased to announce that it has expanded its tenure with two new highly prospective Exploration Licences in the Roper River Iron Province of the Northern Territory, located 450km south-east of Darwin.
The project, known as the Black Range Project, comprises 209km[2] and adjoin TNG’s existing ELs 28218 and 28219, giving a Project total of 259km[2] (Figures 1 and 2).
The new tenements, ELA 30207 and ELA 30208 contain significant continuous exposures of the Sherwin Formation, which is the host to all mineralisation seen in the Roper Iron Province. Both Sherwin Iron Limited (ASX: SHD) and Western Desert Resources (ASX: WDR) have significant resources and mining operations in the area (see Figures 1 and 2).
BHP outlined 27 iron ore deposits between 1955 and 1961 hosted by the Sherwin Iron Formation over 80km of strike. Subsequent exploration has outlined extensions to the Sherwin Formation of over 150km, which is significantly more widespread than previously mapped.
The Black Range Project lies within the western portion of the McArthur Proterozoic sedimentary Basin where it occurs in the upper part of the prospective Roper Group, a sequence of fluvial to marginal marine mudstones and sandstones.
The Sherwin Iron Formation is up to 100m thick and comprises interbedded sandstone, siltstone and mudstone, with locally developed oolitic and pisolitic ironstone beds deposited in a fluvial to marginal marine environment. The ironstone beds are typically 2-8m thick and are often exposed along breakaways where they can often be traced for tens of kilometres.
Within the TNG tenements the mapped Sherwin Formation has had no previous exploration targeting its iron potential despite significant exposures. TNG’s exploration program will commence in the 2014 dry season with low cost rock sampling and trenching.

TNG’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Burton, said the acquisition of the Roper River iron ore tenements was consistent with the Company’s core focus on exploring and developing quality mineral projects in the ferrous and strategic metals space and establishing TNG as the prominent explorer of the Northern Territory.
“These additions to our iron ore portfolio complement our emerging ferrous metals business, based on our flagship Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project, and are consistent with the companies long term strategy in the Northern Territory” Mr Burton said.
“Together with the high-grade Legune hematite project – which we plan to drill this year under the recently announced new venture with Teng Fei Mining – this new acquisition in the emerging Roper River Iron Ore Province provides shareholders with exposure to some exciting, low-cost iron ore exploration opportunities without compromising our core focus on developing Mount Peake.
“We look forward to commencing exploration activities on these tenements, which should provide an additional source of news flow over the coming months,” he added.
