United Minerals reports extensive iron ore in its Pilbara project

It is reported that United Minerals Corporation's initial drilling campaign at its Pilbara iron ore project has encountered extensive iron ore mineralization at multiple locations from drilling within E47/1429, one of three granted tenements held by UMC in the Central Pilbara iron ore province of Western Australia.

High grade mineralization has been discovered in the highly prospective Mount Newman Member of the Marra Mamba Iron Formation in a centrally located part of the target zone.

The Railway Prospect is open 1.3 kilometer to the east, 400 meters to the west and opens at depth to the south and north. Also the mineralization is still open further to the east into UMC's Area B.

The Jocelyn Prospect drilling has defined mineralization persistent at depth which is open to the east and south east. Further drilling is required to link up areas of mineralization.
