Western Desert Resources has announced that assay results from drilling at its flagship Roper Bar Iron Ore Project in the Northern Territory of Australia have identified a new deposit at Area E. The high grade Beneficiable ore zone is sub-horizontal at shallow depth and a maiden JORC resource Mineral Estimate is due later this year. In 2009 a brief drilling program resulted in three JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimates at Areas D, E and F. At Area F the initial resource was 14 MT 49% Fe with a high grade DSO core of 7 MT 59% Fe.
