Northern Cobalt flew a detailed helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the property. Three-dimensional modeling of these data indicates the intrusion could potentially host resources of roughly 1.8 billion tons averaging 20 percent iron, or 470 million tons averaging 40 percent iron. Metallurgical test work completed by a previous company produced a concentrate assaying 66.1 percent iron, 2.85 percent TiO2, and 0.66 percent V2O5 from a composite sample grading 20 percent iron. |
