Mining prospects now held in Far North Queensland
The three prospects now held in Far North Queensland are the Whispering Ridge Magnetite Project -
Whilst chasing Iron the Holder appears to have also hit into the potential for major gold and other minerals, as the prospects sit on the Palmerville fault zone, there is now the potential to look for a Kidston sized gold mine= 3.5 million oz, a Mt Leyshon= 3.1 million oz or a Mt. Wright= 1 million oz. Within EPM15896 is the “breccia pipe”, earlier discovered just East of Boeing Hill which was called “The Wright Breccia”. That was because of its close visual and mineralogical similarity to the Mt. Wright Breccia Pipe in Ravenswood. This is the breccia that RGC, an earlier explorer, missed with their poorly placed hole nearby. The nearby prospects identified as “C-

Three of the world’s largest smelters and refineries are located near Townsville being:-
YABULU NICKEL REFINERY
Queensland Nickel operates the Yabulu Refinery which is located 25 kilometers north-
The Refinery processes nickel and cobalt-
Annual Nickel production of approximately 35,000 tones.
TOWNSVILLE ZINC REFINERY
The refinery was built by Sun Metals Corporation Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary of Korea Zinc Company Limited which produces 10 per cent of the world's zinc from plants in Korea, the USA and Australia.
The refinery consumes more than 400,000 tones of zinc concentrates each year, sourced from North West Queensland and other zinc mining areas in Australia and overseas. These concentrates are converted into approximately 200,000 tones of value-
TOWNSVILLE COPPER REFINERY
Operated by Xstrata Copper Australia.
The company’s Townsville copper refinery is one of the world’s leading electrolytic copper refineries producing copper cathode from copper anode produced at the Mount Isa smelter. The refinery uses the company’s ISA PROCESS technology producing approximately 300,000 tones of copper cathode per year.
TOWNSVILLE PORT
The Port of Townsville handles around 10 million tones of diverse cargo annually and is well connected to the internationally recognized North West Mineral Province and surrounding agricultural industries.
The port is situated in the heart of tropical North Queensland (1,359 kilometers north of Brisbane, Queensland's capital city) and provides Australia and its international business partners with a world class gateway for commerce and trade.
Three prospects now
held in Far North
Queensland
Below is a general overview of the area from Cairns through to Townsville to assist in your evaluation of logistics and infrastructure requirements.
The Sunday Creek Mineral Prospects have many similarities to the earlier major Magnetite, Gold & Copper “Tennant Creek style” mineralization at the Northern Territory of Australia. The opportunity to commercially mine gold and copper associated with the magnetite means the gold, copper and other steel making materials maybe value-
