http://www.portergeo.com.au/database/mineinfo.asp?mineid=mn1269 Anyone like geology? Just some more iron ore reports from the area. Here is a bit There are two main deposits at Mbalam, namely Mbarga and Metzimevin. These occurrences lie on a contorted and disrupted 35 km long magnetic iron formation and have been tested by the UNDF and the Canadian International Development Agency between 1976 and 1984.
Mineralisation at Mbarga was tested by surface trenching of laterite and scree covered massive hematite for an estimate of 184 Mt @ >60% Fe over a strike length of 2 km and average width of approximately 400 m, but up to 600 m wide in places.
At Metzimevin two 600 m long hematite outcrops were tested by 6 diamond drill holes which intersected thicknesses of 37 to 65 m of >64% Fe with 0.056% P, 0.67% Al2O3, with massive hematite persisting to a depth of 200 m at steep dips of 70 to 80? SW for an estimated 35 Mt @ >60% Fe.(I liked this bit)
On the basis of the UNDF testing, the two deposits have a combined resource of approximately 220 Mt @ >60% Fe, within a potential 800 Mt of mineralisation.
