Mapping underway
As previously announced Radar Iron Ltd (ASX: RAD) has entered into an option to acquire 50% of the Uruara Iron Ore project in northern Para State, Brazil.
The Uruara project’s prospectivity is based on mapping and trenching which has identified extensive areas of massive, high grade iron ore mineralisation at surface.
Assays have been received from 11 rock samples taken from outcrop and trenches across 5km of mapped strike of iron mineralisation (Table 1). Although widely spaced, these samples were submitted to confirm the high grade and low contaminant nature of the mineralisation.

These excellent results from this preliminary mapping exercise are highly encouraging and reinforce the exciting potential of the project. Only two samples returned Fe assays significantly lower than 60%, both of which were taken at the same location within a small localized fault zone.
Field teams are currently on the ground, re-opening old access tracks to enable a more detailed mapping program on the defined areas to be undertaken soon and to hopefully confirm significant strike extensions that had been previously defined by local prospectors.

Project Details
The Uruara Project in Para State, comprises one issued exploration licence (EL) and six applications that can be readily converted to EL’s once they are deemed to have sufficient potential (Figure 2), covering approximately 68,000 Ha.
Following a 2 month due diligence period radar has the opportunity to farm into the project as detailed in the ASX announcement on November 13.

Mapping and Sampling
The Uruara project is early stage in that no drilling has yet been undertaken, however its prospectivity is based upon surface mapping and trenching which has identified extensive areas of massive, high grade iron ore mineralisation at surface.
Work to date has concentrated on the issued EL (850.245/2011), with little work carried out on the adjacent applications. Mapping on the EL has been limited to the southern portion of the lease where forest has been cleared for farming, exposing outcropping iron mineralisation.
Previous local prospectors had carried out basic mapping and trenching of outcrop of iron mineralisation, but little of a quantitative nature.
In mid 2013, teams from Sullis Mineracao carried out more detailed mapping of the southern portion of EL 850.245. This mapping identified three main mineralised corridors, two ENE and one NNW, (Figure 4).

This mapping was limited to those parts of the EL that had been cleared for farming. Within this small area, over 5km of strike extent of iron mineralisation was identified on these three zones (Figure 4) with a consistent width of between 150-300m.
Local prospectors have indicated that these zones continue eastward into the forest beyond the eastern margin of the EL, however as previously cut tracks had grown over, this could not be verified.
The iron formations appear reasonably homogenous in nature and mineralisation – with almost all occurrences being marked by large expanses of massive iron oxide mineralisation, with both massive magnetite and hematite being identified.
The weathering profile is thin, generally less than 1m, with limonite and detrital magnetite – this material is slightly more friable, however iron grades appear to remain high. The fresh rock shows grades from 59% to over 65% Fe.
The thickness of the mineralisation is unknown as no drilling has been undertaken. Several trenches were opened by hand by the previous workers, but the deepest of which could only extend to 4m due to the extreme hardness of the massive iron mineralisation. All trenches ended in massive iron mineralisation with no evidence of any vertical gradation to suggest the base was near (Plate 1).

Rock Chip Sampling
As part of the recent mapping program, 11 (eleven) samples were taken across the extent of the three identified mineralized zones, with samples chosen to represent all of the various styles of iron mineralisation – fresh outcrop, fresh rock from trenches, weathered surficial material, and altered mineralisation in the vicinity of a small fault zone.
These samples were submitted to Acme Labs in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for analysis, the results of which are shown in Table 2.
These results demonstrate that the iron mineralisation at Uruara to be high grade, and to contain encouragingly low levels of contaminants. Only two samples returned Fe assays significantly lower than 60%, both of which were taken at the same location within a small localized fault zone. The average of the remaining 9 samples, excluding these two results is 63.5% Fe.

Ongoing Work
Following these encouraging results, a team is currently on the ground at Uruara, making preparations for a more detailed and more extensive mapping program.
This work will include more detailed mapping of the exposed mineralisation on the cleared portion of the EL, as well as the reopening of old tracks into the forest to east to attempt to verify the anecdotal strike extensions.
Radar continues to undertake due diligence on the project and will provide updates periodically.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of Radar Iron Ltd
