Projects
Advanced Stage: Highland Plains Phosphate Project
At the most advanced stage is the Highland Plains Phosphate Project, an historical estimate with grade and tonnage for this project was reported in Phosphate Australia's prospectus. However, as it was not reported in accordance with the JORC code that estimate is not able to be stated here. Readers are referred to the prospectus (available from this website) for this information.
The total area of the Highland Plains embayment as a drilling target is 6.5km2. Initial drilling will begin on an area of approximately 1km2, a shallow drilling target area, where historic drilling intersected phosphate mineralisation which commenced from 0 to 3 metres in depth.
The historical estimate above is based upon percussion drilling of 36 holes at Highland Plains for a total of 1,184 metres.
Future Work Program at Highland Plains:
- Resource definition drilling on known phosphate area. The total area of the Company's Highland Plains embayment as a target for drilling is 6.5km2.
- Initial drilling would begin on an area of approximately 1km2 that is a shallow drill target area where historic drilling in this area intersected phosphate mineralisation which commenced from 0 to 3 metres in depth.
- Follow up reconnaissance drilling of further highly prospective embayments along strike from Highland Plains to the west.
