Magnetite Mines (ASX:MGT) boosted resources to 3.3 billion tonnes at its monster Razorback magnetite iron ore project in South Australia by updating its “highest quality” Iron Peak resource.

Iron Peak is now of suitable size and quality to investigate processing the deposit in the first years of operations, the company says.

Razorback is a huge development, with the $60m capped stock requiring ~$665m for the Stage 1, 3Mtpa development announced in the 2021 PFS.

But this has since changed, with the company betting big on the emerging green steel thematic.

Optimisation studies are due for completion in March looking at a larger scale, 5Mtpa development.
