Company Statement

Spitfire Resources Limited aims to create shareholder wealth through exploration, discovery and development.

Spitfire's key asset is the South Woodie Woodie Manganese project. This project covers approximately 500 square kilometres of tenements and 899 square kilometres of tenement applications in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. South Woodie Woodie is located 50 kilometres south of the historic Woodie Woodie Manganese mining centre and has not been subject to modern exploration techniques until recently.

Spitfire is focused on taking advantage of the booming commodity market via the exploration and rapid development of its prospects within the East Pilbara region.

It is also the intention of Spitfire to actively investigate and acquire additional well-located prospective mining tenements both in Australia and offshore as its presence as an emerging company in the resources sector grows.


Current Operations

South Woodie Woodie Manganese Project
The South Woodie Woodie Project is located about 1,200km north of Perth, and 230km north east of Newman in the East Pilbara Manganese Province of Western Australia. Prior to acquisition, the Project was formerly owned and managed by AIM-listed Churchill Mining Plc via its wholly owned subsidiary Planet Mining Pty Ltd ("Planet").

The Project Area consists of three granted Exploration Licences (“EL’s”) covering an irregularly shaped north-south trending area about 40km long, and between 5 and 15km wide and comprising a total area of about 490km2.  The company has also applied for 899 square kilometres of further ground, which is located approximately 13 kilometres south of the three granted EL’s.

The South Woodie Woodie Project is located approximately 50km along strike and to the south of the Woodie Woodie Manganese Mining Centre operated by Consolidated Minerals Ltd.

Since the late 1990's modern technologies have been deployed to explore for manganese orebodies including the use of new geophysical techniques, in particular helicopter-borne electromagnetic, high resolution gravity and dipole-dipole induced polarisation surveys.

Exploration has also been based on a new conceptual model for manganese mineralisation and the extensive use of these geophysical techniques to search for "blind" deposits, that is, those that are hidden below younger rocks and regolith and are not exposed at surface. In particular, induced polarisation and gravity ground surveys and airborne electromagnetic surveys have had direct exploration success, although many deposits were found by a combination of techniques
