Radar Iron Ltd (ASX: RAD) is pleased to provide shareholders with the results of the hematite target drilling programme at its project in Western Australia’s Yilgarn region.
An RC drilling programme was completed in December 2011 with 77 holes drilled for 6003m. The drilling was aimed at testing hematite targets generated from mapping and geophysical evaluation both at the Johnston Range and Evanston project areas.
Radar Iron Managing Director Jonathan Lea said, “These results are an important step in the process of defining our initial hematite resources.”

“The drilling has confirmed the potential for hematite mineralisation and more detailed drilling is now required to enable resource evaluation and further drilling approvals are pending.”
The area tested represents approximately 25% of Radar’s tenement holding with the potential to host hematite mineralisation. Mapping and geophysical assessment is continuing to define further hematite targets which will be tested in 2012.

HEMATITE DRILL RESULTS
Drill Results
The RC drilling was aimed at drill testing numerous hematite targets at the Johnston Range and Evanston projects. The targets were identified through a combination of geological mapping and aero-magnetic and gravity geophysical interpretation. The target was for near-to-surface pods of hematite mineralisation, mineable through shallow open pit operations.
The prospects tested lie around the Horse Well Anticline that defines the 40km long belt of banded iron formation on the Johnston Range tenements (Figure 3) and also an adjoining banded iron formation (BIF) ridge on the Evanston project. The Johnston Range is comprised of multiple bands of BIF and hence represents a target of several hundred linear kilometres of BIF with potential for hematite enrichment.
Assaying was completed on a 2m sample length. Assay results are shown in Table 1 below with details of the holes in Appendix 1.

Discussion
A number of significant intercepts of hematite have been identified both on the Johnston Range and Evanston Projects. Further drilling is required to test the strike and depth extent prior to potential resource evaluation.
The potential for mineralisation suitable for economic extraction has been reinforced by this drilling with the indication of pods grading over 55% Fe and up to 300-400m in length and 20m wide.
Given Radar’s expectation to access infrastructure (particularly rail and port) and the potential low capital cost of development, ore bodies of relatively small size with the grades and properties of the drill intercepts to date have the potential to be viable for mining extraction.
Further drilling is planned subject to normal approvals to enable infill drilling leading to potential resource estimation as warranted.

HEMATITE DRILL RESULTS
The drilling has only tested the more obvious targets at Johnston Range to date – the presence of multiple BIF bands and the variable strike length of the mineralisation means there are a significant number of potential targets generated from mapping and geophysics yet to be drill tested.
Radar has access to more than 1,100 km[2] of tenements with the potential to host iron ore mineralisation. Overall, the latest drilling tests approximately 25% of the area of Radar’s tenement holding that is perceived to have hematite potential. The company remains focussed on evaluating all its land tenure for hematite mineralisation in this well-endowed iron ore province.
Yours faithfully, For or on behalf of Radar Iron Ltd
