Pardoo Mine Flow Sheet 20 6. JORC Statement 1 of 2 Pardoo DSO Project – References to Exploration/Production targets and Potential Atlas has reported on 25 July 2008 a resource of 24.05 million tonnes at 56.0% Fe and a probable reserve of 7.387 million tonnes at 57.3% Fe at its 100% owned Pardoo DSO Project. While the company intends to do further exploration on the Pardoo Project tenements and remains optimistic it will report additional resources and reserves in the future, any discussion in relation to targets, resources, reserves or ‘ore’ over and above the resource of 24.05 million tonnes at 56.0% Fe and a probable reserve of 7.387 million tonnes at 57.3% Fe is only conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource over and above the resource of 24.05 million tonnes at 56.0% Fe, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource over and above the resource of 24.05 million tonnes at 56.0% Fe nor the development of a reserve over and above the probable reserve of 7.387 million tonnes at 57.3% Fe . Abydos Project – References to Exploration/Production targets and Potential Atlas has reported on 30 July 2008 a resource of 15.13 million tonnes at 56.9% Fe and a probable reserve of 7.428 million tonnes at 58.1% Fe at its 100% owned Abydos DSO Project. While the company intends to do further exploration on the Abydos Project tenements and remains optimistic it will report additional resources and reserves in the future, any discussion in relation to targets, resources, reserves or ‘ore’ over and above the resource of 15.13 million tonnes at 56.9% Fe and probable reserve of 7.428 million tonnes at 58.1% Fe is only conceptual in nature.

Ridley Magnetite – References to Exploration/Production targets and Potential Atlas has reported on 2 October 2008 a magnetite resource of 1.45 billion tonnes at 36.6% Fe at its 100% owned Pardoo Project. While the company progresses the pre feasibility study assessing the projects economics, and remains optimistic it will report additional resources in the future, any discussion in relation to targets, resources, reserves or ‘ore’ over and above the resource of 1.45 billion tonnes at 36.6% Fe is only conceptual in nature.

  • IRON ORE MINING — ATLAS IRON Statement by Minister for Mines and Petroleum MR W.R
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 17 October 2013] p5147b-5147b Mr Bill Marmion IRON ORE MINING — ATLAS IRON Statement by Minister for Mines and Petroleum MR W.R. MARMION (Nedlands — Minister for Mines and Petroleum) [9.05 am]: Iron ore is the state’s highest value commodity. In 2012 it accounted for $51 billion, 70 per cent of all mineral and energy sales, and 53 per cent of all sales, indicating how important this commodity is to the state. New and expanded iron ore mines lifted iron ore production quantity by 12 per cent to a record 476 million tonnes last year. I am pleased to see that this sector continues to grow. On Wednesday, 9 October I had the pleasure to open Western Australia’s newest iron ore mine, called Abydos. The Abydos mine site is Atlas Iron’s fourth mine site, located 130 kilometres south east of Port Hedland. Atlas Iron opened its Pardoo mine in 2008, its Wodgina mine in 2010 and the Mt Dove mine in 2011. Production from these mines last year was 6.2 million tonnes of iron ore. The Abydos site was commissioned in July this year and the first iron ore was hauled on 23 August. The resource is 24.8 million tonnes of 57 per cent iron, and should have a mine life of six to 10 years. The Abydos mine will add to production in 2013, with a forecast rate of production of two to three million tonnes per annum. I was also fortunate enough to visit the site of Atlas Iron’s Mt Webber mine, which will become Atlas Iron’s fifth mine when it commences mining next year.
