Barramine Project

Laconia Resources was granted $150,000 in funding for the Barramine project, in a co-founding arrangement under the WA State Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (see ASX announcement, 20 June 2011). Laconia will be required to match the $150,000 funding grant on a dollar for dollar basis on direct drill spending.

Laconia has identified four primary drill targets at its Barramine project from the Company’s detailed geochemical and geophysical surveys, that will test Mississippi Valley Type deposits (MVT) and Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style deposits within the project area for base metal (Cu, Pb and Zn) and precious metal (Au and Ag) mineralisation.

Mooletar Iron Ore Project

During the quarter Laconia entered into a $7.5M JV with Chinese syndicate, Sinoz Mining Investment Group, for the exploration and development of the Mooletar Iron Ore Project, near Mt Magnet in the Mid West iron ore precinct of Western Australia.
