Sydney - Wednesday - Oct 19: (RWE Australian Business News) - Iron Ore Holdings Ltd (ASX:IOH) has bought the Mardie tenement (E08/1849-I) in the northwest Pilbara region of Western Australia from Azimuth Resources Ltd (ASX:AZH) for $225,000 cash. The Mardie tenement has a 40km coastline and is within 20km from the Balmoral deposits which are managed by Citic Pacific Mining and Australasian Resources Ltd (ASX:ARH). The tenement does not currently contain any mineral resource, but presents exploration upside for both hematite and magnetite ore and has a pre-feasibility study completed on a salt project. IOH managing director Mr Alwyn Vorster said the tenement acquisition was part of IOH building its future business model, primarily in the Western Pilbara. "IOH will continue to develop its business through the acquisition, exploration, feasibility study and commercialisation of strategically located mineral properties in this region," he said.
