Murchison Metals have been granted approval by DoIR for a Programme of Work for exploration activities at their Rocklea Project.
The two tenements, to be known as the Rocklea Project, total over 400 square kilometres and are considered to be highly prospective for Channel Iron Deposit style mineralisation. Up to 40 strike kilometres of prospective paleo-channel has been identified on the tenements from satellite imagery and geological mapping. Located between the major iron ore mining towns of Tom Price and Paraburdoo, the Rocklea tenements are close to existing infrastructure that will facilitate exploration and potentially any future development activities. The project is situated 50 km north-west of Paraburdoo and 30 km west of Tom Price.707 drill holes across two tenements have been approved. The project is expected to be completed over ten weeks and will target the highest priority Channel Iron Deposits within the identified paleo-channel to ascertain any future development potential.
ecologia Environment assisted Murchison Metals with:
botanical surveys of the project area;
approval documentation and processes;
a comprehensive Exploration Environmental Management Plan.
