Beyla (Boola) Property Map

The Beyla property exploration by GIO showed Banded Iron Formations with enriched areas with hematite. However most of the outcrops and samples taken in the field are showing a strong magnetite concentration instead of hematite. The Iron content is up to 55% Fe in the Beyla licence.

Further exploration is planned to define the extension of the target areas to acquire a better characterization of the composition of the deposit. The future exploration is based on field work and on the airborne magnetic survey results undertaken by GIO in April 2012.
