  • Continuity of mineralisation demonstrated by latest drilling

  • Hematite targets defined and ready for drilling

Radar Iron Ltd (ASX: RAD) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update of the exploration activity at its Johnston Range project in Western Australia’s Yilgarn region.

An RC drilling programme was completed in May 2011 with 11 holes drilled for 1844m. The drilling was aimed at sampling magnetite mineralisation from several prospects for metallurgical test work and assessment.

Magnetite targets were tested on the western limb of the 40km long Johnston range BIF complex. Assay results have been returned and metallurgical assessment has commenced.

Radar Iron Managing Director Jonathan Lea said “a number of significant intersects of magnetite have been identified in areas not previously drill tested, particularly at the Shipley and Rowling prospects.”

“We are pleased to advise shareholders that the wide spaced drilling has served to confirm the continuity of the magnetite in the areas tested, and we continue to see the significant exploration potential for magnetite mineralisation in the project area,” Mr Lea said.

Also in the Johnston Range area, further mapping and geophysical data review has defined a number of hematite targets. Drill planning has been completed and approvals obtained with drilling scheduled to commence in the September quarter at approximately 15 targets.

“The target area has, we believe, the potential to host a number of 2-5Mt hematite bodies,” Mr Lea said.

In late May, resource drilling commenced at the Die Hardy project to the south. Results will be reported as they are received with the aim of establishing a maiden JORC resource later in 2011.

Magnetite Drilling

The RC drilling was aimed at:

  • Further testing the magnetite potential at Johnston Range by establishing the depth continuity of the magnetite mineralisation exposed at surface;

  • Testing the continuity of mineralisation widths and grades along strike; and,

  • Providing samples for metallurgical test work to determine the zones with the best metallurgical properties prior to further drilling.

The prospects tested lie on the western side of the Horse Well Anticline that defines the 40km long belt of banded iron formation on the Johnston Range tenements (Figure 3).

Assaying was completed based on a 2m sample length. Details of the holes are shown in Table 1 with assay results in Table 2 below.

Discussion

A number of significant intersects of magnetite have been identified in areas not previously drill tested, particularly at the Shipley and Rowling prospects. The wide spaced drilling has also served to confirm the continuity of the magnetite in these areas and also at the Muldoon prospect.

While the priority at the moment for Radar is resource drilling at the Die Hardy project, these results will be used in conjunction with the metallurgical testing results currently underway to prioritise the magnetite drill targets at Johnson Range. Drilling is likely later in 2011 and in 2012. The large exploration potential for magnetite mineralisation in the project area as previously reported is reinforced.

Hematite Mineralisation

Further ground mapping and geophysical interpretation has reinforced the potential for multiple hematite mineralisation in the Johnston Range project area. Zones of surface hematite enrichment up to approximately 800m in length have been defined by mapping. The target, as previously indicated, remains current with the potential for a number of 2-5Mt bodies of hematite being the most likely exploration outcome.

All approvals are now in place and drill testing of the targets is scheduled for coming months. Approximately 3,000m of drilling will be sufficient to test the 15 targets defined in the project area with follow up drilling envisaged to better define any mineralisation intercepted.

Figure 4 shows the planned drilling and hematite outcrop in the western half of the Johnston Range area along with the detailed mapping completed.
