AMMG produces encouraging results at Bencubbin

THE DRILL SERGEANT: The first phase of reverse circulation (RC) drilling being conducted by Australia Minerals and Mining Group at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Annie’s Prospect at the Bencubbin iron ore project in Western Australia has produced encouraging Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) results.

The results were achieved from what the company described as “the most promising iron mineralisation zones”, with an average concentrate grade of above 70 per cent iron, an average mass recovery of 42.8 per cent and low contaminants.

“This first stage drilling program has produced extremely promising iron concentrate results from the beneficiation DTRs”, Australia Minerals and Mining Group managing director Ric Dawson said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“With a coarser grind size than has previously been reported in the Mid-West area, this has the benefit of lower energy input in a processing plant.

“With potential access to rail infrastructure traversing through the tenement, and the relatively close location to the port of Kwinana, it provides encouragement for pursuing a magnetite project in this locality.”
