Solomon Hub Deposits – Firetail, Kings and Queens. The Solomon Project area is situated approximately 60km to the north of the Tom Price township in the northern Hamersley ranges. Outcropping geology in the project area is dominated by the Dales Gorge, Whaleback Shale and Joffre Members of the Brockman Iron Formation which hosts large bedded iron deposits (BID) throughout the Hamersley Province. The Firetail deposit comprises the majority of BID tonnes at Solomon, where geologically favourable environments have allowed for the formation and preservation of large tonnages of bedded iron mineralisation.Mineralisation within the Solomon area is hosted by buried Channel Iron Deposits (CID), Bedded mineralisation (BID and Detrital mineralisation (DID). Outcropping geology in the area is the Dales Gorge, Whaleback Shale and Joffre Members of the Brockman Iron Formation which contain the BID mineralisation. Incised into this bedrock geology are the large Channel systems which contain the DID and CID mineralisation.Firetail: The bedded mineralisation has a strike length of 7km and outcrops on the north and south limbs of an anticline. Mineralisation is strata bound, has an average thickness of 20m and extends to a depth of 100m below surface in places.
