The Sino iron project geologically lies near the George Palmer deposit, which is situated within the Hamerseley basin.The Hamersley Basin, located in the Pilbara Block in northwestern Western Australia, is about 500 km long and 250 km wide, with a west-north westerly elongation. The basin is defined by the extent of the Hamersley Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks and contains extensive banded iron formations (BIFs) and large hematite-goethite iron deposits, which occur with the BIF units.Archean (42800 Ma) granite-greenstone outcrops over most of the northern half of the Pilbara Block and is unconformably overlain by the Hamersley Basin in the southern half of the block except for a few exposures in inliers or domes within the basin.The Hamersley Group conformably overlies the Fortescue Group and is conformably overlain by the Turee Creek Group. It is approximately 2.5 km thick and consists of four important iron formations separated by sequences of dolomites, shales and volcanics.
