Chairman Clifford Elphick said the study was a pivotal moment in the development of the Zanaga project.
"These results confirm that Zanaga is one of the most attractive undeveloped iron ore projects globally, with the potential to offer a low cost long life operation capable of producing a premium high quality iron ore product, with significant expansion potential," he said.
The project will now move into full feasibility study, the outcomes of which will guide a decision on whether to develop the Zanaga project's 6.8bn tonne mineral resource, the firm said.
