Nowa Nowa Project (Victoria)
PROJECT LOCATION
Iron Deposits investigated by the Vic Govt in early 1900s and 1950s Magnetic anomalies discovered in 1950s & investigated by Vic Govt including some diamond drilling
5 mile deposit described as a skarn. However there are no granite intrusions or limestone in the area
Deposits are potentially 50 to 100 million tonnes in size
Grade of 17 surface rock chip samples taken from 3 prospect areas is 50% to 63% iron (Fe)
