Deposit type

• Iron formation hosted

Summary:

The DSO deposits were derived from the iron-bearing sediments of the Sokoman Formation and Ruth Formation. The ores, comprising blue and red hematite with goethite and limonite, were formed by the leaching of the gangue minerals such as chert, silicates and carbonates. Of the 22 different deposits that constitute the Project, ten selected deposits were drilled in 2008 and 2009. Drilling yielded 64.1 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves. There are 11.75 million tonnes of inferred resources remaining. In addition, about 40 million tonnes of historical resources will be drilled to expand the resource base.
