• New aeromagnetic survey

• Hematite targets identified, initial target tonnage 10Mt

• Mapping and trial Gravity surveys completed

• Close to standard gauge rail Close to standard gauge rail giving access choices to Esperance or Kwinana ports

• No native title issues

F ll RC d illi • Follow up RC drilling programme about to startTarget tonnage is based on sampling, aeromagnetic models, density of 3.5 and depths of 100m. The potential quality and grade is conceptual in nature and there has not yet been sufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the definition of auncertain if further exploration will result in the definition of a mineral resource.
