The Port Gregory Garnet Project is a 226 sq km Western Australian tenement package 100% owned by Heavy Minerals Limited. The project contains a JORC Compliant Mineral Resource estimate of 166 Mt @ 4.0% (THM) with 5.9 Mt of Contained Garnet.
The Port Gregory Garnet Project is in the established mineralogical terrain of the Hutt River Garnet area within the Shire of Northampton in the mid-west coastal region of Western Australia.
It is situated approximately 45-60 km north of Geraldton, 45-65 km south of Kalbarri, and 40 km north-west from Northampton.
Adjacent Projects
The Port Gregory Garnet Project borders GMA’s active Port Gregory garnet mine and the RDG Lucky Bay garnet mine.
Geology
The tenements are located over an area of heavy mineral deposits in Western Australia which are ultimately, but indirectly, derived from the weathering of crystalline igneous rocks in the Archean Yilgarn Block. Heavy mineral grains derived from the Yilgarn Block were initially deposited in thick sequences of Mesozoic sediments that filled the Perth Basin. The tenement area lies in the most northerly part of the Perth Basin, on the western side of the Northampton Block.
