Murchison Metals announced an updated Mineral Resource estimate for its 100% owned Rocklea Iron Ore Project in Western Australia. The latest estimate confirms Murchison’s view that Rocklea is developing as an Channel Iron Deposit (CID), with the potential for a proportion of the resource to be suitable for direct shipping. Using a 50% Fe cut-off, total Resource (Indicated+Inferred) is estimated at 89 million tonnes grading 59.9% CaFe.
