ASX Announcement — January 2015
Figure: Diamond drill rig at Bald Hill deposit.
The Joint Venture commenced drilling of the 9km long magnetic trend at Bald Hill in late 2012, to expand the resource
base of Fusion beyond the existing Mineral Resources at the deposits of Koppio, Brennand, Kapperna and Iron Mount.
A total of 15 diamond drill holes have been completed by the Joint Venture over Bald Hill since, however land access
has held up completion of the planned program. The signing of a new access agreement to allow further drilling is a
significant step towards completing the planned program. A resolution to access for the remainder of the program is
expected over the coming months.
Fusion
The Fusion project comprises a 50km long magnetic banded iron formation on the Southern Eyre Peninsula in South
Australia. The project revolves around numerous satellite magnetite ore deposits feeding into a centralised processing
facility to produce a magnetite concentrate. The concentrate is in turn planned to be transported via a relatively short
40km slurry pipeline to the proposed Port Spencer export facility also being developed.
