You are dead right about there being a whole lot of activity in this area as I have found out by looking at the Minotaur presentation at the Australian China Resources Symposium held in Adelaide on 11th July 2012.
The presentation was titled Braemar Iron Formation, Australias next big Iron Ore Province.
Some tit bits from the presentation that is more than well worth a read as follows:
# Braemar Iron Formation has the potential for large open cut mines. #Each mine has the capacity to mine 50 to 100 Million tonnes per year. #Foreseeable 100year minimum mine life. # Located 150 to 300 km from Port Pirie. # Rail line has 10million tonnes per year spare capacity # If rail line is duplicated can transport 25Mtonnes per year. #5300 nautical miles to Shanghai # Capital Investment $6,650 M
Muster Dam tit bits
# 500kms from Adelaide # 20 year min min lifetime #Capacity 10Mtonnes per year # Mine could commence production in 2014
Presentation given by Andrew Woskett Minotaur team heading to China soon.
