Drilling programme aims to double iron-ore project resource

摘要

Aim-listed exploration and development company Ferrex hopes to at least double the inferred resource - 139-million tonnes at 37% iron - of its Mpumalanga-based Malelane iron-ore project with the second drilling programme, due to start in August, says Ferrex MD Dave Reeves. He tells Mining Weekly the new drilling programme will run for two months, adding, however, that the company still needs to finalise access agreements for the project.
