Magnetic End Use REO’s
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration
Target is conceptual in nature, that there has been
insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource
and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Refer to ASX
Announcement of 6 August for further details.
