IRON ORE RESULTS AT BELLARY SPRINGS ====================================== Pelican Resources Limited (ASX: PEL) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Sunrise Exploration Pty Ltd (Sunrise) recorded positive iron ore results from a field sampling programme at its Bellary Springs project, 20 km northeast of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The detailed sampling was undertaken as follow-up to previous interesting iron ore results from an earlier sampling programme of the pisolite capped mesas within the Bellary Springs tenement covering a total area of 196 km2. A total of 18 rock chip samples, mostly collected from numerous old costeans, returned values of up to 60.09% Fe with acceptable silica and alumina values and low phosphorous averaging 0.047% P. Field work indicated that the better grades were confined to a north – south striking pisolitic channel 1100 metres long and 100 to 150 metres wide. Actual thichness is difficult to ascertain but, based on the old trenching, is 2 to 4 metres deep. The mineralisation sampled is centred on about AGM 84 co-ordinated 600300E and 7445500N and lies within 2km of Rio Tinto’s Paraburdoo to Tom Price railway line.
