Welcome to the Pluton Resources website.

TonyPluton has a small, but experienced team focusing on taking our Irvine Island iron ore project to development. This project is located within the Kimberley iron ore hub and near to the Koolan and Cockatoo Island Mines. Ore from the hub is renowned for its quality and low impurities. Our drilling confirms commercial tonnage of iron ore on Irvine Island. The island adjoins deep water channels and is well placed close to Asian markets. We have no need for rail. We also enjoy a strong relationship with the native title holders, Mayala People, and together we plan to make the Irvine Island project a long-term operation that creates significant value for all stakeholders. You will find more information about Irvine Island and our other projects on this website. If you have any questions about our company then please feel free to contact me.

Regards, Tony. (Mr Tony Schoer, Managing Director, Pluton Resources Ltd.)
