Jubuk Sample Locations
Perth, Mar 11, 2009 AEST (ABN Newswire) - As recently reported (MAU ASX Release 9 March 2009), Magnetic Resources (ASX:MAU)has identified a 35km-long aeromagnetic trend near Corrigin, WA, considered to be prospective for iron ore. By way of clarification, the recent sampling of banded iron formation (BIF) over an 800m strike length returned iron values up to 53.2%Fe ranging from 34.3%Fe to 53.2%Fe, averaging 39.6%Fe from 9 samples as shown in the figure and table below. Several rock chip sampling traverses have been completed over the outcrop areas to obtain material for preliminary Davis Tube testwork.

Based on the sampling and ground magnetic surveying completed to date, Magnetic is encouraged by the results and has an exploration target of 200-300 million tonnes in the central 9.5km of the stronger magnetic anomalies. In addition to the measured outcrop thicknesses, this target is based on the interpreted thickness and strike extent of the BIF from ground magnetic or aeromagnetic data. The target size and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at this stage and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the identification of a resource of this size and grade.
