West Pilbara Iron Ore Project
Leeuwin Metals Ltd
Pilbara Region, Western Australia
Iron
Status: Exploration
100% Ownership
Exploring for High Grade Lithium
Project Location & Area:
-
Located in the Pilbara, one of the world’s premier iron ore producing regions
-
Situated 13km north of Rio Tinto’s Mesa A Mine, and near CZR’s Robe Mesa and Macro’s Deepdale
-
~150km southwest of Ashburton Port (Onslow), and 380km northeast of Port Hedland via sealed roads
-
Excellent proximity to existing infrastructure including highways and export routes
Project History:
-
Internally generated project targeting Channel Iron Deposit (CID) mineralisation
-
Two phases of rock chip sampling completed, defining mineralisation over 2.4km of strike
-
Grades consistently exceed 50% Fe, with low impurity profiles and strong calcined iron results
Value Drivers:
-
Multiple rock chip assays exceeding 50% Fe, with low Al₂O₃, SiO₂ and P
-
High-grade assays include:
-
55.27% Fe, 62.4% CaFe, 6.74% SiO₂, 2.27% Al₂O₃, 0.02% P
-
54.94% Fe, 62.22% CaFe, 7.10% SiO₂, 2.10% Al₂O₃, 0.015% P
-
54.66% Fe, 61.48% CaFe, 8.12% SiO₂, 2.01% Al₂O₃, 0.01% P
-
54.19% Fe, 60.78% CaFe, 7.65% SiO₂, 2.66% Al₂O₃, 0.20% P
-
53.73% Fe, 60.27% CaFe, 8.88% SiO₂, 2.65% Al₂O₃, 0.012% P
-
53.05% Fe, 59.35% CaFe, 11.62% SiO₂, 1.90% Al₂O₃, 0.02% P
-
52.14% Fe, 57.98% CaFe, 12.50% SiO₂, 2.57% Al₂O₃, 0.02% P
-
51.66% Fe, 58.05% CaFe, 9.96% SiO₂, 4.09% Al₂O₃, 0.12% P
-
50.41% Fe, 56.39% CaFe, 12.61% SiO₂, 3.83% Al₂O₃, 0.02% P
-
-
Mineralisation confirmed as goethite-rich pisolitic CID, similar to major nearby deposits
-
Next steps: detailed mapping, geophysical targeting, and first-pass drilling upon grant of tenure
-
Strong strategic positioning alongside Tier-1 operators in a world-class iron-producing region
