PILBARA explorer Warwick Resources today announced further high grade results from RC drilling on its Jimblebar Range iron ore project near Newman.
Jimblebar Range is located only 8km from BHP Billiton's large Jimblebar iron ore mine and railway.
This latest batch of strong drilling results also follows the company’s announcement in September 2008 of an initial Inferred Mineral Resource of 11.7Mt at 57.6% Fe (at 50% Fe cut off) for the project, and the subsequent announcements of positive drilling results, including 30m at 57.4% Fe (WRKRC198), and 62.5m at 61.2% Fe (WRKDD004) and 22.9m at 59.7% Fe (WRKDD005) from infill diamond drilling.
Warwick Resources Managing Director Bruce McQuitty said that the drilling results were further confirmation of the quality of the Jimblebar Range iron ore deposit.
The results follow the recent announcement of successful drilling results at the Company's Woggaginna and Western Creek iron ore projects.
McQuitty said the company is pleased to back up the recent exploration success at their Woggaginna, Western Creek and Caramulla South iron ore projects with further strong results from Jimblebar Range.
Highlights of the drilling included the discovery of a northeast extension to the deposit with an area of approximately 16,000m with mineralisation remaining open to the northeast, confirmation of the continuity of high grade iron mineralisation in the central part of the northern zone, and confirmation of the low alumina and low to moderate phosphorous levels of the deposit, underlining the potential for direct shipping ore (DSO).
Results were also received from eleven short RC holes totalling 105m which targeted potential extensions to mineralisation at the Company's Jimblebar channel iron (CID) prospect.
