Western Desert Resources finds more high grade iron ore at Roper Bar Iron Ore Project, NT

by Proactive Investors company news image

Western Desert Resources Ltd (ASX:WDR) has announced it has received some surface samples assaying over 60% Fe from its geological mapping program conducted at the Northern Territory Roper Bar Iron Ore Project.  The program indicates an expanded area of outcropping iron mineralisation.

The Project is a joint venture between Western Desert Resources and ITOCHU subsidiary, IMEA Exploration and Development of Australia Pty Ltd (IEDA).

Areas of known outcrop have been extended from original estimates and now total 55km² much of which dips quite shallowly (5% to 10%) to the west.

Forward exploration program

The forward 2009 exploration program for the Roper Bar project by WDR and IEDA will be principally devoted to drilling previously mapped high grade outcropping targets in Area D, Area E, and Area F of the Project, with the objective of evolving an initial resource estimate.

The drilling program is expected to commence as soon as practicable following suitable access at the
end of the seasonal rainy period.

The Roper Bar Iron Ore Project consists of six granted exploration licences (EL24307, EL24655, EL24944, EL25672, EL26759 and EL26992). The tenements are located in the Gulf Country of the Northern Territory about 40km from the coast.

Exploration is being undertaken on hematitic iron formations, both outcropping and under shallow cover the 2008 drilling program targeted mineralisation under cover and recovered ironstone material from area “D” which had a measured specific gravity of 3.2 with an average thickness of 5.7 metres. Assays revealed grades of up to 60%Fe, while subsequent beneficiation testwork successfully upgraded lower grade material to in excess of 60%Fe using the low cost heavy liquid separation technique.
