The debt facility has been approved on condition that Fair Star Resources should obtain a duly executed native title agreement and mining lease over the Steeple Hill tenements.
The facility is also dependable on the conclusion of the off-take agreement.
Fair Star is planning to execute a three-phase development strategy.
The first phase will include recovery of deposits of alluvial iron ore in a low-cost mining operation. The second phase will include drill and blast operation for hard rock hematite and the third phase will include recovery of magnetite.
