New iron ore prospect at Jungle Dam

Southern Uranium Ltd has located new high grade iron outcrops that further advance the iron ore prospects of the company’s Jungle Dam project on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. New prospecting, detailed magnetic surveying and a revised prospectivity model have upgraded the potential for shallow haematite as Direct Shipping Ore (DSO). Mr John Anderson MD of Southern Uranium said that the company had revised its strategy at Jungle Dam to focus on the potential for higher grade and shallow haematite as DSO. It planned to commence drilling of highpriority areas at the earliest opportunity. The company’s objective is to determine whether an iron ore resource could be established to Inferred Category by early 2011. He added that Southern Uranium is preparing to do a detailed gravity survey over the Central West zone to better map the haematite prospective areas. This will assist the prioritization of targets for the next round of drilling planned to start as soon as a drill contractor is secured.
