Ore quality

Magnetite of exceptional grade.

The magnetite ore on Aaron Mining's claims is high quality. Extraction and processing methods to be implemented at the site produce a magnetite concentrate grade of sixty nine point eight percent iron.

Fe69.8%Iron concentration after processing

Verified by XRF mining testing.

Independent analysis confirms a 69.8% iron concentrate produced in the KM5675 test program, certified assay 69.70% iron, ALS Certificate VA18138068, with very low contaminant signatures across heavy metals. The table below is handheld field screening from sampling work, shown for indication only. It is not certified laboratory chemistry and does not stand in for the concentrate assay above.

All processed ore can be made into pellets upon request. Natural ore (50–100mm) is run through a jaw crusher only.
