PILBARA EXPLORER PRODUCES IMPRESSIVE IRON GRADES OF 64.7pc FE
Sydney - Tuesday - May 27: (RWE Aust Business News)
***************************************************
OVERVIEW
********
Shares of Strike Resources Ltd (ASX:SRK) received a boost from
the company's latest report on its latest exploration progress.
It announced high iron grades averaging 64.7pc Fe and confirms
the potential of the Paulsens East project
This is only part of the company's diversified international
minerals activities.
However, it's still early days yet as the results came from a
recently conducted rock chip sampling program within its 75 per
cent-owned Paulsens East project tenements, located approximately 140
kilometres west of Tom Price in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Highlights included:
* Average iron grade of 64.7pc Fe from 55 rock chip samples
collected from the Paulsens East project in April;
* Highest returned grade of 67.67pc Fe;
* 3,000-metre RC drilling program scheduled to commence in May to
determine the grade and extent of mineralisation and delineate a resource
for mining;
* Consulting Engineering Group to be engaged shortly to conduct a
scoping study for the development of mining operations and transportation
of ore by road to a regional port;
* High-grade nature of ore supports a potential DSO lump and fine
product capitalising on high prices for premium-grade iron ore; and
* Subject to satisfactory completion of drilling and scoping
study, Strike is targeting a one million tonne-per-annum mining operation
from the Paulsens East project commencing as early as February 2009.
Paulsens East project tenements cover a total area of 19.64
square kilometres.
The company has recently completed a rock chip sampling program
along the length of the hematite ridge.
Surface samples were collected at 50 metre intervals and returned
an average iron grade of 64.7pc Fe, with one sample returning 67.67pc Fe.
The closed spaced sampling program was undertaken to further
delineate the high grade mineralisation present along the ridge and to
assist in the outline of a proposed drilling program to support a mining
operation from such area.
Previous exploratory drilling results completed in December 2006
returned high-grade intersections in areas averaging 65.15pc Fe from 14
to 16 metres and 63.4pc Fe from 18 to 22 metres.
As a follow-up to the initial drilling campaign and the success
of the recently completed rock chip sampling program, the company has
announced it will shortly begin a 3,000 metre RC drilling campaign.
This drilling program, which is scheduled to commence before the
end of the month, will focus on delineating the extent of mineralisation
and the grade of the iron ore deposit.
The program will involve drilling 60 to 80 near horizontal holes
over the length of the 3,000 metre outcrop.
The company is encouraged by these early exploration results and
based on it now having sufficient confidence in the Paulsens East project
has undertaken the following:
* Engaged a project manager to lead the development of this
project to production;
* Commenced environmental and heritage studies to obtain the
grant of a mining lease for the project; and
* Engage a consulting engineering group to conduct a scoping
study to support a one million tonne-per-annum mining operation.
