Bekisopa surface iron-ore

The Company is a public company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia and registered in Victoria under the provisions of the Corporations Act on 6 October 2009, with the name Akora Resources Limited (Formally Indian Pacific Resources Limited) and ACN 139 847 555. The Company is domiciled in Australia.

The Company is an exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of the Bekisopa Project, the Satrokala Project, the Tratramarina Project and the Ambodilafa Project, iron ore projects in Madagascar. In all we hold some 308 km2 of tenements across these prospective exploration areas, with each project being covered by several separate tenements. There are numerous prospective tenement areas at each project location that show distinct anomalies that warrant further exploration evaluation.

The Bekisopa Iron Ore Project in Madagascar hosts an Inferred Resource of 194.7million tonnes (Mt) with the potential to produce a quality Direct Ship Iron Ore product and a premium grade 67.6% iron concentrate suitable for Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) pellets for the steel industry’s accelerating decarbonisation.
An updated Scoping Study has been released and shows the Bekisopa Iron Ore Project to be economically viable and could build to 2 million tonnes per year of high-grade Direct Shipping Iron Ore.
Pre-feasibility Study has begun to advance plans to develop the Bekisopa DSO for the project, including building the team to complete these projects.
