Burley Minerals Limited (ASX: BUR) has commenced a mapping and rock-chip sampling programme at its 100% owned Cane Bore Iron Project. Cane Bore is located within the world class Pilbara Province of the Western Australia and located less than 100km by sealed road from the Onlsow and the Port of Ashburton.
Burley Minerals managing director and CEO, Stewart McCallion commented: “Burley’s geologists have their work cut out for them to cover the CID mineralization areas identified with earlier reconnaissance work. There is about 1,500ha of potential CID mineralization to map and sample, over about 30km of strike length. We have covered the East flank this past week and we will get the first batch of rock-chip samples delivered to the lab.”
The Cane Bore exploration licence area is adjacent to the sealed Northwest Coastal Highway, intersecting the Onslow Road. The Cane River area was historically explored for iron resources in the late 1960s, but only wide-spaced sampling of surface materials was reported. More recent reconnaissance work, using satellite imagery, multi-spectral imagery, topographic data, and extrapolation of known regional resources, indicates the potential to delineate more than 30 linear km of CID mineralization, Burley’s geologist are now mapping and collecting rock chip samples over approximately 1,500ha of CID target areas.
Burley has Heritage Protection Agreements in place with and is pursuing cost estimate and schedules to complete heritage surveys. Furthermore, the Programme of Work (PoW) application for the maiden drilling programme was lodged with DEMIRS.
“Since receiving the exploration licence, we have lodged the PoW for the maiden drilling programme over the priority targets with DEMIRS. In addition, we are in touch with the Traditional Owners of the land to arrange heritage surveys over the priority drilling targets, and they are working on cost estimates and timing for the surveys.” Added Stewart.
