WEST PERTH, Western Australia, Jan. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - Nevada Iron Ltd (the Company) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 278.61 acres of free hold land (including mineral rights) adjacent to the existing West Deposit (covering the western 1/2 of section 9 T24N R34E in Churchill County, Nevada). The strategic acquisition of this land accomplishes several objectives:
The consideration paid was US$400,000 in cash and a 2% NSR on production from the area purchased.
Commentary
Mick McMullen, Executive Chairman commented on the acquisition: "This transaction adds to our portfolio and importantly makes mine planning and permitting easier. We now have flexibility in the location of our plant and infrastructure and can now locate these facilities away from adjacent land owners. As seen in Figure 1, the magnetic anomaly clearly extends into this newly acquired ground and we can now lay our pit back into this new area, which adds to our mineral reserves."
Michael Higginson
Company Secretary
