473Mt @ 40% Fe
The global JORC Exploration Target for the Kiruna Iron Project has also been updated to:
203-273Mt @ 32-40% Fe
- JORC Exploration Targets converted to JORC Inferred Resources
- JORC Exploration Targets increased
- Metallurgy test work indicates a premium quality concentrate can be produced from the resources
- Successful exploration, joint venture and acquisition strategy firmly entrenches Kiruna Iron AB in the world class Kiruna Iron District
The success of the Kiruna Iron strategy is highlighted by the growth in resources shown below:
TweetASX Release Date JORC Resources JORC Exploration Target 21/04/2010 ― ― 28/06/2010 98Mt 8-10M @ 25-69% Fe 15/11/2010 185.7Mt @ 35% Fe 150-185Mt @ 25-37% Fe 27/07/2011 412.1Mt @ 39.9% Fe 150-230Mt @ 30-40% Fe 16/01/2012 473Mt @ 40% Fe 203-273Mt @ 32-40% Fe
Kiruna Iron - Altavaara Exploration Target Increase
Monday January 16, 2012- JORC Exploration Target increased to 55-60Mt @ 26-29% Fe
- Altavaara characterised by wide, low grade iron mineralised intercepts:
- 148m @ 29% Fe from 34m (ALT11011)
- 134m @ 29% Fe from 9m (ALT11013)
- 115m @ 27% Fe from 15m (ALT11012)
- Kiruna Hub continues to grow
Amanda Arrowsmith, Exploration Manager said “The Altavaara Prospect is shaping up to be a significant deposit within the Kiruna Hub; measurements from the 13 diamond drill holes we’ve completed have increased the JORC Exploration Target to 55-60Mt @ 26-29% Fe, up from the previously reported 10-20Mt @ 23-30% Fe. This is the exciting part; the potential to significantly increase the tonnage within the Kiruna Hub is being proven by drilling the historical government iron occurrences which have until now been overlooked.”
