  概述:由KerryStoke拥有的铁矿石控股公司(IronOreHoldings,IOH)公告宣布其一处BucklandHills项目的新资源。IOH称这一未开发的JORC资源,位于皮尔巴拉地区BucklandHills临近力拓运营区域,约有4790万吨品味在58.05%的铁矿石。伦敦海洋证券经纪人SamSpring认为这一未开发资源进一步表明了IOH有能力在未来6个月内迅速描绘出其具有的高位品矿石资源。

  原文:KERRY Stokes' Iron Ore Holdings is continuing its run of new announcements, releasing a maiden resource for its Buckland Hills project.

The emerging junior said the maiden JORC resource at Buckland Hills, which is located in the West Pilbara near Rio Tinto operations, was 47.9mt at 58.05 per cent iron ore.

London broker Sam Spring from Ocean Equities said the maiden resource at Buckland Hills further illustrates IOH's ability to quickly delineate high grade resources in the next six months.

"We believe the recent developments provide the foundation for a further significant resource growth and share price re-rating, and we view the recent weakness in IOH's share price as an attractive entry point,'' he said in a client note.

Shares in the Perth-based company were up 3.23 per cent to $2.24 in early trading.

The Bucklands Hill announcement follows a list of positive newsflow from the company, which revealed early last month a new iron ore discovery in the Pilbara.

The company said at the time that assay results at the Fingers prospect, at its Koodaideri South project, indicated an exciting new discovery.

That prospect, along with the rest of IOH's stable of interests, is located near Rio Tinto operations and supporting infrastructure.

Seven Network's billionaire chairman Kerry Stokes paid $12 million in July 2007, to take control of IOH, through his investment company, Australian Capital Equity. He has since increased his holding to 51 per cent.

IOH is one of the fortunate juniors that was able to strike a deal with Rio Tinto, which enables the sale of ore from IOH's Phil's Creek deposit to Rio Tinto in a mine-gate process.

The junior has also entered an exclusive agreement with Rio Tinto for the major to examine IOH's Iron Valley deposit, about 10km from Rio Tinto's Yandicoogina operation, which might lead to the purchase of part or all of the lease covering the deposit.

Mr Spring said that while Buckland Hills will also be potentially an attractive asset to Rio, and its Japanese joint venture partners, because of the potential size of the project and its location, it could also be of interest to Aquila Resources, which has neighbouring assets.
