Doesn't look the same on this map. There's just a small gap between GIR and BHP, which I assume is ROYs. Not much distance between them for some potential tonnage. Good nearology though.DJ, How close is GIR's tenament and does the strike run into ROY? I'm trying to find a decent map at the moment. It looks like it MUST by your map above.
So, lets hope those extensions go a little bit further north. Surely this will be part of their drilling to begin in March?Direct extensions to BHP'sSilver Knight iron ore deposit identified, with outcropping high-grade MarraMamba iron ore mineralisation exposed on Giralia'sground, grades to 63.5% Fe.
Reports on adjoining BHP operated mining lease (recently released to open file) include drill intersections of 129 metres @ 59.6% Fe, and 108 metres @61.5% Fe close (less than 200 metres) north of the boundary of Giralia's tenement.

This is from GIRs last presentation on the BHP drilling:

Yep, but looks to be a small area. Crystal ball is telling me possible BHP/GIR/ROY JV. SHould we propose it?Hey Kennas, remember ROY has that little sqaure tenement to the left of GIR tenement. South east of the BHP Silver Knight deposit found.
If you look at my map it shows they have tenements above GIR and next to them. BHP resource actually looks like it gets deeper as it progresses east, which is where ROY little sqaure tenement comes into play!
• Assays for a further 7 holes just received from initial drilling of Giralia's 100% owned Western Creek project (10 kilometres west of Newman) show more thick near-surface intersections of direct shipping ("DSO") Marra Mamba iron ore. New results include:
50 metres @ 60.4% Fe from surface,
42 metres @ 60.2% Fe from surface,
38 metres @ 58.6% Fe from 10 metres
• The new results are considered highly encouraging as they show thick zones of significant mineralisation as direct extensions to BHP's Silver Knight iron ore deposit now extending to the limit of Giralia's drilling to the south and west.
Part US I think, most stocks have come off I feel. May be a little consolidation after the strong bounce up. Or, maybe we should be concerned....I can't see why though at the moment. I don't think there's any results pending and they are just about to start a drilling program. Unless the rigs have fallen through. If anything it's the time for speculative buying with the expectation of good drill results coming in the weeks and months ahead. Note speculative, poor results and she'll be smashed. Actually, the good results from the GBG drilling smashed it, so who knows???Anyone know if the recent ROY drop due to the drop in the US? Or is there something I should be more concerned about?
MUNGADA HEMATITE PROJECT TAKES KEY STEP IN ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVALS PROCESS
...........Mr Kaeding (GBG PR dude) said the recent Government Strategic Review of the Banded Iron Formation Ranges had indicated that up to 30% of the total number of ranges should be reserved. The review also recognised that development planning and environmental assessment of the Karara/Mungada/Blue Hills range system was well advanced, and the creation of a national park or Class A nature reserve was inappropriate at this stage.
“Mungada is one of the 28 banded iron formation ridges identified in the Strategic Review and Gindalbie has provided extensive environmental and biodiversity information on its Mungada project area.” he said.
Seems a high % chance that they'll find some iron in there GN, but as you say, smallish area compared to the GIR and BHP strike. Perhaps it extends to the north? More doubtful. I'm not sure why they're not putting a hole into the small package to the south, that looks like it's gotta have a decent fe content too. As far as development and value to ROY, you'd expect whoever starts mining that area to farm into ROYs tenament for a % of the returns and ROY goes free carried to development or something like that. Or, maybe ROY makes a takeover bid for GIR and BHP?Well great news today that all the clearances have been approved and that drilling can start on ROY's iron ore prospects soon. (Start of April)
I must say that obviously you would think that they should get some good hits out of the Prairie Downs projects being so close to Grialia's Silver Knight prospect, but to me it looks like a very small piece of land!
Is it even that useful if they do find anything?
Would Giralia offer to buy that land? Or go into a JV over it?
Sorry if those questions sound a bit silly, but I have no idea
Going off ROY'S map it looks like a no brainer that they will have some good hits with Iron Ridge and Homestead. The Mindy Prospect covers more area so i hope they find something there with their drilling. On one of their maps it shows Mindy prospect encompasing a large Iron Formation.
Guess time will tell
