Jimblebar Range

Target commodity: iron ore

  • An area of iron enrichment approximately 1.8km long and from 50m to 200m wide developed over a steeply dipping sequence of banded iron formation.
  • Located just 8km from BHP Billiton's Jimblebar iron ore mine and railway line and 1km from the Jimblebar CID.
  • Broad, high grade, near surface intersections of iron ore mineralisation from first phase drilling, including 60m @ 60.5% Fe from 6m depth (WRKRC60), 58m @ 60.6% Fe from 10m depth (WRKRC68), 44m @ 61.3% Fe from 14m depth (WRKRC64) & 36m @ 61.3% Fe from 26m depth (WRKRC69).
  • Intense goethite-haematite enrichment of BIF units, extending from surface to vertical depths of approximately 70m.
  • Mineralisation remains open in several directions, principally along strike and to the east.
  • Levels of contaminants are low to moderate, indicating potential for direct shipping ore.
  • Resource drilling Q2 2008.

Caramulla South 

Target Commodity: Iron Ore

  • Located 19km to the east of BHP Billiton's Jimblebar iron ore mine and railway.
  • Targeting an east-west striking strip of Marra Mamba Formation, up to 120m wide and 4km long, near the northern margin of the exploration licence.
  • First pass drilling (3 effective RC holes) by Warwick intersected multiple zones of iron mineralisation, with better results including, 21m @ 56.3% Fe, 0.012% P from 15m depth (WRKRC46); 11m @ 59.2% Fe, 0.081% P from 9m depth (WRKRC47); and 9m @ 55.9% Fe, 0.024% P from 36m depth (WRKRC47).
  • Phosphorous levels are low (avge. 0.041%) and levels of other contaminants are low to moderate.
  • Resource drilling Q2 2008

  Jimblebar Channel Iron Deposit (CID)

  Target Commodity: Iron Ore

  • Located 8km from BHP Billiton's Jimblebar iron ore mine and railway line.
  • CID outcrops as a 3km long NNE-striking mesa from 75m to 150m wide.
  • The channel has a gentle "U-shaped" profile, infilled by up to 7m of iron-rich pisolite grading to 57% Fe.
  • Phosphorous levels are very low (max 0.025% P).
  • Resource drilling Q2 2008.

Woggaginna

Target Commodity: Iron Ore

  • Multiple zones of strong iron enrichment associated with Banded Iron Formation (BIF).
  • Grades up to 63.0% Fe and low contaminants indicate Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) potential.
  • Magnetics indicate more than 40km of strike length of BIF units within project area.
  • Woggaginna is Warwick's largest iron ore exploration target identified to date.
  • Drilling Q3 2008.

Ten Mile CID

Target Commodity: Iron Ore

  • Substantial new channel iron target.
  • Located 55km south of Newman and 10km from the Great Northern  Highway.
  • Outcropping CID over 3km strike length with potential to extend beneath shallow cover.
  • Initial rock chip samples to 58.5% Fe.
  • Levels of contaminants are low to moderate, indicating potential for direct shipping ore.
  • Driling Q3 2008.
