Cap-Ex Iron Ore Ltd (TSX-V: CEV) (“Cap-Ex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of a ground gravity survey conducted by Tata Steel Minerals Canada Ltd. (TSMC) on the Company’s wholly owned Block 103 property located in the Labrador Trough northwest of Schefferville, Quebec. The ground gravity survey, performed in October and November of 2014, was designed to explore for DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) by targeting airborne anomalies with high gravity readings associated with a low magnetic background. The survey is part of TSMC’s work commitments pursuant to a Road Access and DSO Exploration Agreement announced on October 8, 2014.
The ground gravity survey was successful in the detection/confirmation of anomalies that suggest the presence of buried masses of iron with densities exceeding 2.67 g/cc (grams per centimeter cubed) characteristic of DSO type deposits. All of the selected airborne targets showed values that would be expected from DSO type large tonnage iron deposits. In addition, new gravity anomalies were identified that were not observed in the airborne survey.
Measurements from 887 gravity stations were collected by the Quebec-based geophysical consulting company GEOSIG INC. Their geophysicist commented “Gravity anomalies on the ground gravity survey are much stronger and more obvious [than the airborne survey], leaving no doubt about their existence” (GEOSIG INC. Block 103 Ground Gravity Survey Work Report). Based on the positive results from this survey, in-field geological verification including drilling is highly recommended.
The ground gravity survey, although successful in identifying anomalies, was not able to survey all the proposed DSO targets identified from the airborne survey due to weather based time constraints. This leaves the possibility to further increase the number of quality gravity anomalies for future field verification and drilling.
Graham Harris, the CEO of Cap-Ex, comments “We are now able to focus on the highest potential areas for identifying DSO reserves adjacent to TSMC’s new processing and shipping facility. The ground gravity survey results confirm Cap-Ex’s strategy to move forward with exploration focused on identifying easily accessible low cost DSO style iron ore. We look forward to continuing this exploration program with TSMC on Block 103 property this coming season.”
