Whispering Ridge Magnetite Project Far North Queensland
As Owner, Manager and Operator, our goal is to produce high grade iron/magnetite for coal washery medium under Mineral Development Licence MDL 298 at Far North Queensland.
Whispering Ridge MDL 298 (Situated within Sunday Creek EPM15896) is located south west of Cairns some 105 kms from Innisfail and approximately 30 kms south east of Innot Hot Springs near Mount Garnet; making it reasonably accessible for development.
Mourilyan Harbour, located near Innisfail, can take ships up to 45,000t. The main focus has been to produce high grade magnetite for the coal washery market in Queensland and export the surplus products as DSO.
Proposed inital planning of stage areas of DEM (Digital elevation models) for exploration, mining, associated infrastructure and downstream industrial development under review for LiDAR Whispering Ridge / Sunday Creek Industrial Corridor-Slurry Pipeline, and transporatation alternatives to Mourilyan Harbour / Townsville port for Magnetite and other Mineral Ores Far North Queensland Australia.
Our endeavour is to replace imports by mining and supplying high grade magnetite used for the extraction of impurities from Queensland coal whilst exporting surplus iron ore.
The Whispering Ridge magnetite deposit is surrounded by the Sunday Creek tenement which lies on the western margin of the Carboniferous Glen Gordon Volcanics in the southeast corner of the Atherton 1:250,000 geological map sheet. The area is dominated by Tertiary and Quaternary alluvial and lateritic deposits, with prominent outcropping Permo-Carboniferous volcanics and intrusives, which include the Boeing Hill and Conical Hill hydrothermal breccia complexes. Proterozoic Hall’s Reward Metamorphics, consisting of amphibolites and meta-sediments underlie Recent and Tertiary sediments (Donchank, Rienks, 1984; Grimes, 1984). The area is dominated by northwest and minor northeast trending structures. The northwest trending structures are thought by some workers to be related to or part of the Palmerville Fault Zone.
Sub-Regional Stratigraphy, Structure and Geologic Setting – Whispering Ridge
These topics are all adequately addressed in the report by B.M. Nichols “EPM 10078 Sunday Creek Report for the twelve months ending 3 May 1997”
The Whispering Ridge Magnetite Deposit(s) occur at the structural interface between northwest striking, presumably Precambrian, micaceous mudstones and arenites to the west and an equigranular Permo-Carboniferous, fault bounded wedge of “granite” cropping out to the east. The age and true composition of this intrusion is at this stage conjecture. In outcrop it looks remarkably like the typical Elizabeth Creek Granite that crops out extensively west of Mt Garnet and in the Mt Surprise area (Figure below) from the original report referenced above).
