Fenix Resources (ASX:FEX) is an exploration company focussing on the development of its 100% owned Iron Ridge high grade hematite project, located in the Mid-West of Western Australia.
Fenix added the project to its portfolio through the acquisition of Prometheus Mining. Iron Ridge is situated on an existing mining lease and has been subject to historical mining activity
The project has a current resource of 5 million tonnes at 64.1 per cent iron ore and Fenix’s goal is to increase the Iron Ridge resource up to 8 to 10 million tonnes at 65 per cent iron ore, which attracts a premium price.
