Magnetic Resources Nl Jubuk Gravity Survey Extends Magnetite Target Zone
25.05.2011 | ABN Newswire
12:26 AEST May 25, 2011 ABN Newswire (C) 2004-2011 Asia Business News PL. All Rights Reserved.Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - As announced previously Magnetic Resources Nl (ASX: MAU) is conducting a detailed gravity survey over its Jubuk magnetite project.
The gravity survey is expected to provide greater definition of target zones and to allow prioritisation of target areas for drilling. Preliminary gravity results show numerous strong responses and indicate that the magnetite zone could extend about 600m south of the drilled area, where the magnetic data indicates a narrowing and weakening response.
Drilling in mid 2010 of a second prospective parallel zone (termed Marriotts) to the south of Jubuk did not intersect significant grades however it is anticipated that the gravity data will allow more effective positioning of drill holes to test this large target zone.
The gravity survey is being extended to the south along both prospective horizons and will be subject to intensive processing and interpretation in conjunction with the airborne and ground magnetic data previously collected by Magnetic Resources.
The new gravity target zones add a further 2.7km to the existing 4km strike of known magnetite mineralisation and have the potential to add significant tonnages to the Jubuk mineralisation. Drilling of these priority targets will commence upon completion of the necessary permitting. Test work on the Jubuk mineralisation continues to indicate a premium quality magnetite product of the type sought by a range of international consumers.
