PepinNini Minerals (ASX: PNN) has received a number of hematite and hematite-goethite iron enrichment intersections above 50% iron at the Robinson Range Iron Ore Project as the company works towards a JORC Resource.
In total, 63 boreholes have been completed for 3,161 metres of drilling within six prospect areas.
Results include:
- 26 metres at 61.2% iron from 20 metres;
- 45 metres at 59.7% iron from 6 metres, including 39 metres at 61.1% iron; and
- 10 metres at 53.9% iron from 2 metres, including 4 metres at 57.5% iron from 4 metres.
The drilling program is designed to investigate potential iron ore Resources, including direct shipping ore, at 11 prospect areas.
Robinson Range covers 700 square kilometres in the Midwest region of Western Australia, 550 kilometres north east of the planned Oakajee Port and Rail development near Geraldton.
The region has emerged as Western Australia’s next major iron ore province, second to the Pilbara, and holds considerable potential for the discovery of both iron-ore and manganese deposits.
The remaining 35 drill holes in the program have been delayed by mechanical problems, and will be completed once a suitable replacement drill rig is commissioned.
