Drilling at the Mt Padbury prospect will target hematite mineralisation within the Robinson Range iron formation contained within the E52 / 2279 tenement.

Geological mapping at the site has delineated iron ore targets with hematite-goethite mineralisation, with grades of up to 63.3 iron achieved from surface rock chip samples.

Padbury Mining will integrate the Mt Padbury operations with the ongoing evaluation drilling of the magnetite and hematite potential near Telecom Hill prospect.
