Significant Initial Assay Results received from Hillside

 

Highlights:

 

-          Anomalous Gold found in rock chips from newly discovered quartz veins with same orientation as nearby historic gold mine;

-          Significant base metal grades returned from outcropping cupiferous gossan including the following:

-          HS008: 0.185ppm Au, 37.8ppm Ag, 0.46% Zn, 6.36% Cu; and

-          Drill targets identified with drilling to commence as soon as possible.

 

Fe Limited (ASX: FEL) (FEL or the Company) recently entered into an earn in agreement with Macarthur Minerals Limited (Macarthur) in respect of 18 tenements in the Pilbara ranging from south of Nullagine to north of Pilgangoora. The tenure is prospective for lithium, gold, copper, base metals and iron ore with many known deposits within and around the tenure and the eastern Pilbara in general.

 

Samples from the recent reconnaissance trip were submitted to the lab during the first week of August with a rush order specifically for samples from the Hillside tenement group (Hillside Project). Three of the assays received so far have returned strongly anomalous grades for base metals and gold from three different locations, refer table 2 for all results (table 1 shows sample locations). The base metals result from the gossan outcrop shows similar copper grades to a historical rock chip from a gossan outcrop directly south along strike approximately 6km away. Both outcrops lie within a strong magnetic anomaly identified in a heliborne electromagnetic survey conducted by Macarthur during 2018 (refer figure 1). This gossan will be a high priority drill target in the coming months.

 

The Company is currently planning field work in the near future including detailed mapping and further chip sampling of the Hillside Project. Preliminary planning for initial drilling is underway with the arrangement of heritage works (if required) and earthworks for logistical and access requirements. Final drill sites will be determined following detailed mapping and ground truthing of targets already identified from desktop aerial mapping that is also underway.
