Pluton Resources’ Irvine Island Iron Ore Grades Receive Boost With CSIRO Tests

Testing of Irvine Island bulk magnetite samples by the CSIRO has boosted the stocks of Pluton Resources (ASX: PLV) as it managed to produce high grade concentrates with low impurities through beneficiation.

The market liked the results from the potentially iron ore rich Irvine Island also, and Pluton shares rose by 6%.

Irvine Island is Pluton’s premier iron ore project located within the Kimberley Iron Ore Hub in Western Australia. Drilling on Irvine Island has identified a Irvine Island orebodyInferred Resource of 54Mt at 49% iron (including 25Mt at 55% iron), with Phase II drilling targeting up to 130Mt of iron ore.  Managing Director Mr Tony Schoer said, “Tests indicate we can concentrate up to 37Mt of product from this 54Mt resource. This compares well to Cockatoo Island which has produced about 40Mt of product since mining began in the early 1950’s”. These islands are well located, with Cockatoo Island being the first mine in Australia to export iron ore. Tony Schoer, “There is direct access to deep water and no need for rail”. Mineralisation on Irvine Island remains open outside of the areas covered by Phase II drilling.

Welcome to the new Pluton Resources website.

Pluton has a small, but experienced team focusing on taking our Irvine Island iron ore project to dTonyevelopment. 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 owners, 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.
