ABx Tasmanian Tenements
During the March quarter 2010, ABx lodged eight (8) new exploration tenement applications in Tasmania totalling 1,441 km2. The bauxite-types encountered in Tasmania range in nature from pisolite-capped bauxite through to amorphous tabular bauxite but extend over considerable distances across central Tasmania.
Tasmania’s proud mining heritage rivals NSW and QLD and Tasmania has the advantage of very short-haul distances by rail to export ports that have capacity for increased export volumes.
Assay results from the 14 best sites samples across the Tasmanian tenements are summarised below:
