IRVINE RESOURCE UPGRADE – TARGETING UP TO 108Mt @ 66% IRON CONCENTRATE
Managing Director Tony Schoer said: “We are not yet half-way through the current drilling programme in total metres drilled, so to be able to announce an upgraded Inferred Mineral Resource of 294 Mt of quality feed to target production of up to 108 Mt of high grade concentrate at 66% iron is a fantastic result.”
Irvine Island Fe resource upgraded from 54Mt to 294Mt
Pluton Resources Limited is an ASX listed company (PLV) planning a significant iron ore mining and shipping project at Irvine Island in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Pluton has a 100% stake in the project targeting approximately 200 million tonnes of 66% iron concentrate. The project is being developed in partnership with the traditional owners of the island, the Mayala Aboriginal People. Pluton also has copper gold and silver projects in northwestern Tasmania.
Welcome to the Pluton Resources website.
Pluton 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.)
