Iron Man saves Wolverine from certain death, but in the process he unfortunately gives his crippling weakness at the start of the comics to his fellow Avenger.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Avengers: Tech-On # 2!

by marvel Iron Man just inadvertently gave Wolverine his old comic book weakness after saving him from certain death. The Armored Avenger has a long and rich history in the comics and has frequently addressed its weaknesses by periodically upgrading its costume. But in Tech-On Avengers # 2, written by Jim Zub with illustrations by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz and letters from Travis Lanham of VC, Tony Stark saves Logan’s life at the cost of imprisoning him in high-tech armor.

In Avengers: Tech-On, the Avengers defeated Thanos and destroyed the Infinity Stones, but the Stones pieces were reused by the Red Skull. Calling the collected remains “Infinity Mirror Shards”, the Red Skull removes the powers of all the Avengers and all the superpowers of everyone on Earth. While some Avengers simply lose their strength or speed, Wolverine loses his healing factor and immediately collapses from acute adamantium poisoning. His metal skeleton is now killing him from the inside out – but Iron Man has a solution in the form of advanced suits for his entire team.

High-tech 3D printed suits recreate or replace the powers of each Avenger: Captain Marvel’s suit can fly and shoot energy beams, Captain America’s suit comes equipped with a new shield (to replace the destroyed one with The Red Skull) and Spider -The Man Has Multiple Arms (mimicking the Iron Spider costume popularized in Avengers: Infinity War). But Wolverine’s costume is somehow able to recreate his healing powers: “Tony’s Crazy Pewter can plan stabilized by the Healing Factor, so I’m back in the fight.” Wolverine says as he puts the new costume to good use. Of course, this means that outside the costume, Wolverine loses his ability to heal once again.

Wolverine is therefore entirely dependent on the suit for survival – much like Iron Man’s first appearance in Tales of Suspense # 39. Written by Stan Lee with illustrations by Don Heck and Steve Ditko, Tony Stark’s first costume was incredibly bulky but necessary to contain the electromagnet that kept shrapnel from reaching his heart. Tony was forced to constantly wear the large suit breastplate under his clothes – if it was ever removed or the armor lost its strength, he could die. In that regard, Wolverine also seems locked in wearing the armor – at least until Tony and his fellow Avengers find a way to reverse Red Skull’s Infinity Stone-fueled actions.

As one of the most popular X-Men, Wolverine doesn’t die (or rather to stay death) easily. Logan’s healing factor allows him to take a tremendous amount of punishment that would easily kill any other human. Removing this healing factor allows Wolverine be vulnerable; making him dependent on Iron man the armor can even allow the two characters to bond in a new way during the remaining numbers of Avengers: Tech-On.

Shang-Chi 2 will never be able to adapt its most important comic story

Marvel’s Dark Ages just gave Tony Stark a whole new low-tech suit, but there’s no doubt that steampunk Iron Man armor is a recipe for disaster.

WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Dark Ages # 1, available now from Marvel.

Tony Stark has never been one to hold back with his elaborate inventions, especially not when they come in the form of new armor. Whether it’s something for Iron Man, War Machine, or anyone else, Tony Stark is always ready to organize any occasion. And although the lights have gone out for good in the Marvel Universe of Dark times, Tony managed to build a suit capable of making his way through the Dark times.

After The Unmaker’s old threat resurfaced and threatened to destroy the world from within, Doctor Strange led a select team of heroes to deal with the threat. While they were able to defeat the Unmaker by unleashing the power of a reality where electricity could not work, it led to this same electromagnetic pulse emanating from all over the planet. Within moments all the machines stopped working, including the ones in the Iron Man costume. At that time, Tony Stark was flying over New York, the aftermath of the explosion ripped his leg off by a crashing plane that he blindly collided with. Although this is a far cry from the end of the story as well as Tony Stark’s role in it, although the situation forced him to become a different kind of Iron Man.

RELATED: Dark Ages: How Marvel’s Next Epic Left The Avengers In The Dark

As revealed at the end of Dark times # 1 by Tom Taylor, Iban Coello, Brian Reber and Joe Sabino of VC, the former Avenger miraculously survived his injuries. Not only that, but he even managed to craft a working Iron Man suit without any cutting edge technology at his disposal. This new armor has already been glimpsed, although how it works remains to be seen. One can only assume that this combination is a combination of steam power and rocket propulsion, since anything that looks remotely like an arc reactor is excluded. As impressive as it may be, it has disturbing implications.

Aside from the fact that Tony wears either a giant boiler, an engine, or both, the armor itself could only have been made from anything Tony could put together by hand. Without the means to do something as simple as plating one of its armor, it would have to be constructed from steel, iron, or brass. It all adds up to some extremely heavy and incredibly fragile Iron Man armor that is at best a slightly better version of his very first suit and at worst, a flying time bomb. And, to top it off, there’s not even a hope that this is all part of a bigger effort to turn the world around, as Tony is now working alongside a particularly ominous Apocalypse.

Steampunk and Iron Man aren’t two diametrically opposed concepts, but they work much better together in theory than in practice. Considering the state of affairs in Dark times, it’s understandable that Tony Stark will do his best with what little is available to maintain his own killer advantage on this Endless Night. Then again, the obvious risks of donning this armor would involve a level of desperation the Ironclad Avenger would not have seen in some time. At the very least, it gives readers one more reason to look forward to following the events of this latest darker alternate version of the Marvel Universe.

• CSAMT survey underway in the central anomaly and Big Easy showing area to define additional targets for drilling along strike and at depth
• Cartier Iron completes 100% gain on Big Easy property

TORONTO, Aug.25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Cartier Iron Corporation (CSE: CFE) (“Cartier Iron” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the planned 10,000m diamond drilling program at the Big Easy Low Sulfurization Gold-Silver Project near Clarenville, Newfoundland. Drilling will initially focus on the Central Anomaly where previous drilling (see June 8, 2021 press release) confirmed a large zone of silicification up to 200m wide with epithermal gold and silver mineralization. This additional drilling will make it possible to explore more in depth this very promising zone which extends for at least 600 m laterally. Table 1 lists the initial planned drill holes and Figure 1 shows the location of the chargeability anomaly with the planned drill holes. Drilling is also planned to test the chargeability / resistivity anomalies identified on the Sleigh Pond grid in the southern part of the property as described in the press release of June 8, 2021 and as illustrated in Figure 1. The Sleigh Pond program will likely take place in the winter of 2022. The drilling program is managed by Mercator Geological Services and drilling is performed by Logan Drilling Group.

Cartier Iron commissioned Clearview Geophysics of Brampton, Ontario to perform Controlled Magneto-telluric Audio Source (CSAMT) reconnaissance in the central anomaly – Big Easy showing area, as shown in Figure 1. The part field of this survey has been completed and the data is currently being processed. It is expected that this survey will provide further information on the depth and depth extent of potential epithermal mineralization.

Tom Larsen, CEO of Cartier Iron, said: “We are delighted to begin diamond drilling at Big Easy. Our previous work has described a number of very promising targets along extensive structures with large zones of silicification with gold-silver mineralization. With the closing of the $ 5.2 million financing on July 7, 2021, we are now well positioned to conduct an aggressive exploration program on our 100% owned Big Easy property.

Cartier Iron Chief Technical Advisor Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Said, “Preparation for the drilling program has progressed fairly quickly with all the required permits in place. We look forward to receiving the results of the CSAMT survey in the coming weeks. These will be validated against our previous geophysical and drilling results and incorporated into three-dimensional models of Big Easy mineralization to show how known targets extend at depth and potentially to produce new targets for drilling along. The direction.

CSAMT survey

CSAMT is a geophysical technique that measures the conductivity of underground materials using electromagnetic waves from a remote transmitter. Electrical and magnetic sensors are used to characterize the distortions in the flow of underground currents that result from changes in conductivity. In audio frequencies, this technique makes it possible to measure relatively resistive rocks from 250m to 1000m in depth. The Big Easy showing and central anomaly drill results suggest the epithermal system may be stronger at greater depth, which is why CSAMT was chosen to look deeper than the limit of about 200 m from previous polarization / induced resistivity (IP / Res) surveys.

Approximately 20 linear km were surveyed over twelve (12) lines spaced 200 m apart to extend coverage southward from the Big Easy showing to the IP / Res target of the central anomaly where drilling in 2018 and 2021 confirmed strong weathering and significant gold values. The silicification that accompanies the placement of gold in epithermal systems typically results in an extremely low conductivity volume that can be mapped in three dimensions using CSAMT data.

Cartier Iron completes the acquisition of a Big Easy property

Pursuant to the Big Easy Ownership Acquisition Agreement, as amended (the “Acquisition”), the Company issued the final tranche of one million common shares to the sellers of property. The issuance of shares, combined with the prior realization of the minimum required exploration expenditure of $ 2 million, fulfills all of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the acquisition, under which it holds a 100% interest. in Big Easy, the sellers hold a net 3% smelter royalty, which can be reduced to 2.5% through two-step payments totaling $ 500,000 on or before November 21, 2022.

Qualified person

In July, commodity prices ended largely higher, with the exception of iron ore and petroleum.

Thermal coal and LNG were among the top performers, as this chart from the Commonwealth Bank research office shows:

Brent crude up for four consecutive months

Brent crude rose nearly 2% in July, its fourth consecutive monthly increase.

Forecasts released by majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron last week indicated that the market would remain tight, analysts said.

On the ASX, a merger project for Oil search (ASX: OSH) valued at $ 22 billion could be the biggest deal on the Australian stock exchange this year.

Santos (ASX: STO) improved its offering for OSH and now offers 0.6275 new Santos shares for each Oil Search share, which values ​​each OSH share at $ 4.52.

The offer appears to have found favor with the OSH Board of Directors.

Copper drops for two consecutive months from record highs

Copper prices fell 7% in July after falling 8% in June, after record prices a month earlier.

However, Citi has improved its near-term outlook in light of recent massive sales and remains bullish on pricing over the next 3-6 months.

The short-term supply risk is increasing after the recent strikes in Chile. BHP’s Escondinda copper mine could be at risk if government-led negotiations fail to appease Chilean workers.

In the smallest capped space, Sandfire Resources (ASX: SFR) has obtained the operating license for the Motheo copper mine in Botswana and is now ready for full-scale construction of the $ 279 million ($ 364 million) project.

Preliminary results of Golden Mile (ASX: G88) A helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) study of the company’s Yarrambee project in Washington state looks promising – with 48 high priority base metal targets identified.

Thermal coal increased in July

The rise in thermal coal in July is mainly linked to a hotter-than-usual summer in North Asia.

Glencore, the world’s largest producer of thermal coal for the maritime export market, also contributed to the increase in the price of coal, with production falling 19% in the first half of FY21, as part of its plan to reduce coal production in Australia.

A parabolic rise in spot market prices for alternative-generated fuel gas has also pushed some electric utilities into the thermal coal market.

Electric utilities in Japan, Korea and Taiwan have turned to thermal coal as a cheaper alternative to liquefied natural gas (LNG) whose prices have skyrocketed.

China’s coal supply, meanwhile, is experiencing the most acute shortage since 2011, which is exacerbated by its unofficial ban on Australian imports.

There are a number of ASX coal companies that provide exposure to the thermal coal market including, BHP (ASX: BHP) with its Mount Arthur mine in NSW, Terracom (ASX: TER) with its Queensland Blair Athol mine, and Yancoal Australia (ASX: YAL) with its portfolio of NSW Hunter Valley mines.

Whitehaven Coal (ASX: WHC), at the same time, released its quarterly report for June, promising investors that 10-year highs in thermal coal prices were poised to bring greater cash flow.

LNG lifted on warmer temperatures

Spot prices for LNG delivered to North Asia rose in July, fearing warmer-than-usual temperatures in the region could push up demand.

Gas shortages in Europe also mean that competition for LNG cargoes has intensified last month.

According to the ABC report, the level of gas shortage in Europe is now around 56% of capacity, compared to 71% on average over five years.

Disruptions at export terminals in Peru and PNG also exacerbated the tight supply.

On the ASX, Impact energy (ASX: STX) waits behind the scenes and has just completed production testing of the West Erregulla 4 well, as part of its West Erregulla assessment campaign (Perth onshore basin) in the Kingia sandstone.

Talon Energy (ASX: TPD) received approval from the Mongolian government in July, which will allow it to explore one of the most promising coal gas pools in the world.

The area covers 8,400 km2, and is less than 20 km from the Sino-Mongolian border and close to the gas transmission and distribution network of northern China.

Iron ore falls on China’s crackdown

Iron ore prices fell sharply towards the end of July amid demand concerns in China.

The ABC reports that Chinese policymakers are seeking to limit the growth of steel production to reduce emissions.

The Chinese government can be quietly satisfied after sentiment around cutbacks in steel production finally pushed the price of iron ore down, hammering it 7% to no more than US $ 180 / t on Friday.

On the ASX, Fortescue (ASX: FMG) and Mineral resources (ASX: MIN), were the large caps most affected by the decline.

More sensitive iron ore miners and explorers have widely fluctuated between 5-20% decline.

Among the terrestrial planetssolar systemAnd Mercury is an exception. In its contrasting interior in silicate shell and metal core, the latter represents three quarters of its total mass! Much higher in the case of Venus and Earth – a third – as for Mars – a quarter. Even more surprising is its density, given the generally higher iron content, which exceeds all other planets. To explain this difference, two theories have followed one another. The first imagined a gradient of the fraction of iron available to form the planets according to the distance from the sun. The vision was then replaced by the idea of ​​collision (s) which blew up the rock mantle of Mercury. However, a new paradigm seems to dust off the oldest theory by tilting in its favor. But has the mystery of iron mercury really been solved?

The magnetic field of the young sun. The solar dynamo creates a strong magnetic field (green lines) that attracts the iron-rich magnetic particles to the Sun in a planetary accretion disk. Source: NASA / JPL-Caltech.

The magnetic field of the young sun

Researchers at the University of Maryland and the University of Tohoku have developed a model that represents the chemical makeup of planets as a function of heliocentric position. As a starting point for their study, they postulated that the density, mass and iron content of the planet vary with its distance from the solar magnetic field. Specifically, about the young Sun, at the time when planets were still forming in a protoplanetary disk. “The Sun is made of plasma, highly conductive, capable of supporting and amplifying the magnetic field”, describes Joao Pedro Marquez, lecturer at the IAS and at the University of Paris-Saclay. However, macroscopic movements such as convection or rotation have been shown to amplify them more, which is called the dynamo effect. That is why young stars, spinning very quickly, have a strong magnetic field. But this electromagnetic dance is in reality a waltz, in which the partner of the solar star is only the disc that surrounds it …

Much like a spinning disc, the sun is absorbed into plasma, through which electric currents pass. “These two astrophysical bodies interact and create instability in the disc,” notes the astrophysicist. The resulting magnetic field will attract iron particles to the center of the solar system, producing a gradient visible on both planets and meteorites. Then the accumulated iron sinks into the core under the influence of gravity, at the same time expelling oxygen from the lighter. But is this process enough to get an iron core like Mercury? I am not entirely sure according to Joao Pedro Marquez: “Such a scenario does not exclude the addition of a celestial collision, because Mercury still contains a lot of iron! “.

From iron to earthly life

However, the results presented by the researchers raise questions according to Matthew Finsendon, who is also a lecturer at the IAS and the University of Paris-Saclay. Thus, the planetary orientation presented in the research mainly depends on the state of Mercury, which clearly stands out in terms of intensity. The scale used also curiously flattens the state of Venus which, unlike the defended scenario, is less dense than Earth – but more distant. A problem that seems to be solved by the unexpected absence of Venus in several characters … but it is not the only anomaly to count. “According to this model, the formation of Mercury will be completed in just two million years, which seems fast,” notes Matthew Finsendon. In addition, the migration of giant planets should be at the origin of important movements of matter, which would distort the appearance of the gradient. The reasons for questioning are piling up… However, there is one point in particular that looks promising: the state of exoplanets.

To validate their findings, the researchers propose to observe other star systems similar to ours, in order to see if the planetary iron gradient in our system is located elsewhere. If the density of the planets decreased with the distance from the star, they would be right… really? “There are still potential biases. Perhaps near the star, the outer layers of the planet risk disappearing after the collision, in which case the theory of the collision of Mercury remains plausible, ”suggests the astrophysicist. With its unusual nucleus, Mercury is one of the few planets that still has a magnetic field. The core of a planet is truly crucial to sustaining life… as we know it! The blue planet therefore has a magnetosphere through the liquid part of its iron core. Cosmic rays refract there before seriously damaging the health of living organisms. What if life existed without a magnetic field? With organisms living exclusively underground or resistant to radiation. Matthew Finsendon insists: “If there is life, it must adapt as much as possible to its development environment.

Calcutta: Unprecedented iron ore and pellet prices are forcing small secondary steel units in various states, including West Bengal, to shut down or cut production, officials said on Sunday. In West Bengal, at least five of those MSME units have closed while another 100 to 115 have cut production by 15 to 50 percent, Steel Re-rolling Mills Association chairman Vivek Adukia said.

“Secondary steel MSMEs are also waiving the power requirements of DVC and WBSEDCL (West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited),” Adukia said.

In Bengal, about 500 units are engaged in sponge iron, rolling mills and steelmaking through induction furnace. All of these units, along with factories in other states, are suffering from unprecedented iron ore prices, pellet prices due to the unhindered export of the ore.

The secondary steel associations of West Bengal, Odhisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh jointly asked the Prime Minister and the Minister of Steel for their intervention and the imposition of a 50 percent export duty on pellets.

Secondary steelmakers have argued their demand for pellet export duties for a year without any effective action from the government, Adukia said.

West Bengal Sponge Iron Manufacturers Association President Shankar Lal Agarwal said the price of pellets rose from Rs 4,500 per tonne in May 2020 to Rs 15,000 per tonne in June of this year, impacting costs a ton of steel of 20,800 Rs.

Officials claimed that 50,000 secondary steel MSMEs plunged into losses despite such high steel prices.

“Companies with their own sources of pellets and iron ore are making a profit,” Adukia said.

Advocating the government to make raw materials available for domestic industry, Agarwal called on the government to allow a consortium of smaller units (up to 5 members per consortium) to bid in auctions that will help reduce dependence on the free market.

Mercury’s disproportionately massive core could be the result of the Sun’s powerful magnetic influence rather than the consequence of a cataclysmic collision with another body in the ancient past, according to the results of a new study.

Since the advent of spaceflight, humanity has sent only three spaceships to unravel the secrets held by Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system. In the 1970s, NASA’s Mariner 10 spacecraft made three separate overflights of the planet, capturing high-resolution images and capturing data about Mercury’s magnetic field.

Decades later, on March 17, 2011, the agency’s MESSENGER spacecraft became the first probe to orbit Mercury. He then spent four years characterizing the alien world in unprecedented detail. Meanwhile, the joint European / Japanese mission BepiColombo is still on its way to the planet and is expected to arrive at the end of 2025.

As a result of these efforts, astronomers have learned a lot about Mercury, but it still holds a plethora of mysteries that the scientific community has yet to solve.

One of these mysteries is related to the internal structure of the planet. Analysis of data collected by orbiting spacecraft taking detailed readings of Mercury’s gravitational signature had in the past revealed that the planet had an iron core of disproportionate mass to the size of its mantle.

To be more precise, it is estimated that the core is about three-quarters of the mass of Mercury and has a radius of about 1,289 miles (2,074 km), while the outer rocky shell of the planet is only 250 miles (400 km). in depth. This makes it the second densest planet in the solar system.

Until now, the main theory as to why Mercury has such an unusually large nucleus for such a small planet has centered on the idea that it was in fact a much larger planet that had fallen victim to a planetary collision in the distant past. According to this theory, the cataclysmic force of the interaction was sufficient to remove much of Mercury’s outer shell, leaving behind a shallow mantle to cover the core of the once larger planet.

However, according to the new study, Mercury’s unusual structure may actually be the result of the natural influence of the Sun’s magnetic field.

The authors created a new computer model of the primordial cloud of dust and gas from which planets in the solar system would eventually form, and simulated the effect of a young Sun’s magnetic field on the swirling mass. It was discovered that the magnetic influence of our mother star brought the iron grains embedded in the cloud closer together. This resulted in the planets that formed closest to the Sun to have a much larger iron core than those that would one day orbit in the most distant regions of the solar system.

The researchers combined their model with previous research on planetary formation, in order to calculate the speed at which the material would be attracted to the Sun. They found that the planetary compositions predicted by their model correlated well with the actual planets that make up our solar system today.

As well as shedding light on how our home solar system came to merge and subsequently mature, the new research could also have important implications for astronomers hoping to better understand distant exoplanets spread across the galaxy.

“You can’t just say, ‘Oh, a star’s makeup looks like this anymore, so the planets around it have to look like this,” said William McDonough, professor of geology at the University of Maryland and one of the authors. of the new study. “Now you have to say, ‘Each planet might have more or less iron depending on the star’s magnetic properties when the solar system starts growing.'”

The team is now looking for an alien star system in which rocky planets are known to orbit, with which they can further test their theory.

Iron Man created a Thor clone during Marvel’s Civil War – but the God of Thunder was paid off when he returned to Earth a little later.

Thor humiliated Iron Man in an act of revenge for his betrayal during the Marvel superhero’s Civil War. Superheroes have always tended to clash. In fact, it’s kind of a tradition for heroes to fight when they first meet – a tradition even honored by the MCU. Thor and Iron Man clashed in The Avengers, with Stark only lasting as long as he did because his armor was able to absorb Thor’s lightning energy.

The 2006 comic Civil war The event was Marvel’s biggest superhero grudge match, sparked by the Super Human Registration Act. The superhero community has gone its separate ways, with Captain America and other unregistered heroes being considered outlaws. The conflict quickly escalated, in large part because of Tony Stark’s critical mistakes; he worked with the other superhero geniuses on his side to create what he saw as WMD, a Mighty Thor clone. It didn’t go well and this Thor clone killed Goliath in a battle before being destroyed by Hercules in a rematch. The Superhero Civil War occurred at a time when the real Thor Odinson was dead, having ushered in the last Ragnarok. Needless to say, the death did not last, and when Thor returned he was seriously unhappy to learn what Stark had done with genetic samples he had secretly obtained.

Iron Man confronted Thor when the God of Thunder visited New Orleans in search of the spirits of the gods in Thor # 3, by J. Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel. Stark was in charge of SHIELD at the time, responsible for the enforcement of SHRA, and he attempted to persuade Thor to sign up. Thor let him speak for a while, his anger growing, and it wasn’t until the thunder began to rumble and lightning bolts erupted in the skies that Stark realized this wasn’t going to be a friendly reunion. “You took my genetics coded“, thundered Thor,”and, without my permission, unbeknownst to me, used it to create an abomination – an aberration – an insult – and you told the world it was me. You have defiled my body, desecrated my confidence, violated all that I am.“His words were like thunder – and then came lightning.

Iron Man’s repulsor blasts had absolutely no effect on Thor, so the Armored Avenger decided to do that old school – melee. It was a silly idea because Thor pushed him back with a single contemptuous blow from Mjolnir that caused so much damage that it would take two minutes for Iron Man’s self-healing systems to get him back into action. Thor followed this with an electromagnetic pulse that shut down each of Stark’s systems, ripped off his helmet, and made it clear that there was a big difference between a god of thunder and a mortal man in a metallic suit. With Stark humiliated, he left him in New Orleans, promising that their conversation would continue later. “My armor is fried,“Stark cried out, dejected.”How am I supposed to get back to base?“Thor didn’t even turn around to tell him:”Walk.“

Iron Man had grown too familiar with Thor, confident he knew what his friend was capable of. Suddenly he remembered that the god of thunder was a force of nature, storm lord, and he realized in all their past arguments and arguments that his old friend had held back. The humiliation was complete as there is no doubt that Stark did not return to base; instead, he will have called in reinforcements, forcing him to admit to his people that he had been completely outclassed. He had learned what it meant to cross a god – and would never make the mistake of underestimating Thor Again.

Iron ore is the lifeblood of Australia’s economy, so it’s curious that relatively few companies are listed with the commodity on their books.

This is especially true for companies listed in northern Western Australia – Australia’s iron heart, but sometimes a difficult place for younger, small businesses to gain a foothold.

“Most of the important and potential areas for iron ore are locked up with the majors,” Pantera Minerals chief executive Matthew Hansen told Stockhead.

“A number of other iron ore projects are blocked due to their location, without access to rail, or may not be of sufficient scale to support a stand-alone operation.”

Pantera (ASX: Proposed PFE) is a company that is going against the trend and will go IPO with its main asset, the Yampi iron ore project just off the WA coast in the Kimberley, about 150 km north of Derby.

The company’s prospectus was recently released, highlighting its listing plans with an immediate focus on Yampi and a series of potential mineral areas to follow.

In its iron ore project, Pantera has a truly unique proposition for those looking for exposure to the raw material.

“Location, location, location… that’s what sets Yampi apart from other projects,” said Hansen.

“The project is ideally located, right on the coast and less than 5 km from a potential deep water port location. “

The region is not exactly untapped – the Buccaneer Archipelago, straddling the coastal Yampi region, is home to both Mt Gibson Iron’s important Koolan Island project and Pluto Resources’ Cockatoo Island project.

In the case of Mt Gibson, you are talking about an iron ore reserve of 30 million tonnes at 64% iron and resources of 68Mt at 63% iron, with 70Mt already mined. Prolific is one way of putting it.

Iron ore is a high grade industry, and standard fine measurements in the international market are 58% and 62% respectively. Allowing for greater efficiency, higher quality materials tend to command higher prices.

At Yampi, initial grapple and rock chip samples assayed up to 68% iron. Enthusiasm for connoisseurs of the region, who are eager to get the drilling rigs running.

“Pantera has hired former Mount Gibson exploration geologist Nick Payne as head of exploration,” said Hansen.

“Nick had walked our land when he was at Mount Gibson and had always loved it, and was extremely happy to join us in sending a rig to Yampi.”

The first item on the agenda once listed is the execution of a five hole drilling program on the Project. A custom-built rig by local contractor Harrington Drilling was designed to do the job.

Hansen said he expected majors in the region to closely monitor the results of the first drilling.

“If we are successful at Yampi this year, what does that mean for a company like Pantera with an EV of $ 6.3 million at the IPO?” he said.

“It would only be natural for our neighbors and some much larger companies to monitor what is happening in Yampi very closely. “

Ace in a convincing deck

Pantera may have an iron ore project as an immediate priority, but it’s far from a one-ride pony when it comes to areas of exploration.

Among the projects listed in his books are the Yampi Copper Project, just 8 km southeast of its namesake iron ore project, as well as the Weelaranna Manganese Project and the Frederick Polymetallic Project which tested for high levels of lead-zinc.

Yampi’s copper project harbors a large iron ore-copper-gold-looking electromagnetic target – a fascinating proposition with such long-range predictions for the red metal.

At Weelaranna, Pantera owns a manganese project north of Element 25’s Butcherbird project (ASX: E25) (+ 260Mt of manganese ore in JORC measured, indicated and inferred resources) where X-ray fluorescence results of selected samples were on average 37% and went up to 42% manganese.

Frederick is located approximately 170 km west-northwest of Galena Mining’s Abra project, which is on its way to becoming a high-grade lead producer.

Sampling of rock chips here tested high levels of lead / zinc – recording 1.7% lead, 1.03% zinc, 13 grams per tonne silver and 0.17% copper.

Hansen said the combined projects present an exciting proposition for potential shareholders of the company.

“All of the projects in the Pantera books are very promising and we are extremely excited to start exploring them,” he said.

All of Pantera’s projects are located in northern Washington, the state’s mineral heart, and their positioning means the company will be able to conduct exploration activities year-round.

The region has seen its fair share of controversies in recent years over indigenous title and the protection of important sites, with the most obvious one being the Juukan Gorge disaster which ultimately caused a severe roll over atop Rio Tinto.

Hansen’s legacy is potentially a first for an Australian iron ore company. He is a proud Noongar man who worked for a number of mining majors before moving into the legal field as an advisor to mining companies.

Yampi is part of the indigenous title of the Dambimangari people, and Hansen said the Pantera team will be extremely inclusive and culturally focused.

“As the man from Noongar who runs Pantera, it is in our DNA to make the traditional owners of all our projects work together,” he said.

“Our goal is to build mutually beneficial relationships based on honest engagement. “
