dc.description.abstract | The Roper Bar Project consists of two granted exploration licences (EL26759 and EL29548) which are 100% owned by Western Desert Resources (WDR) through its wholly owned subsidiary, WDR Iron Ore Pty Ltd. The Licences are located about 240 km east of Mataranka in the Gulf Country of the Northern Territory. Exploration is being undertaken for hematitic iron ore within the Sherwin Formation. The Roper Bar project is situated within the Bauhinia Shelf of the McArthur Basin. The McArthur Basin is an intracratonic platform basin of Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic age. Exploration within the area has concentrated on the Sherwin Formation within the Maiwok Subgroup of the Roper Bar Group. Previous exploration activities have extended outcropping iron mineralisation beneath surface to identify largely flat-lying oolitic hosted mineralisation, particularly at Areas B and Area D prospects. Exploration activities conducted during the current reporting period comprised geophysical wireline logging of 107 of the 212 drillholes completed in the previous period. In addition metallurgical testwork was conducted on samples taken from the diamond drill program at Area D North and a new Mineral Resource estimate for Area D was undertaken. The exploration program for the 7th year of licences will consist of close spaced RC and diamond drilling for resource evaluation purposes, and further metallurgical testwork. | |
