Zinc Australia Drilling At Mount Alexander

ZINC Australia has begun diamond drilling at the Mount Alexander magnetite iron ore project in Western Australia.

According to the Perth-based explorer and developer, it plans for diamond drilling to take place at two 500m holes to determine the width, grade continuity, and metallurgical performance of the mineralisation.

Zinc Australia says the holes will be collared at the base of the steep north west face of the BIF magnetite unit and drilled approximately 560m southeast at a shallow angle to traverse the full width of the mineralisation.

Zinc Australia claims the permission for drilling six additional holes have been approved, which will follow up the resource definition drilling.
