Speewah (WA): During 2011, King River Copper (formerly Speewah Metals Ltd) drilled 266 holes for more than 18 000 metres at the Speewah titanium-vanadium-iron deposit. The company completed hydrometallurgical test work in February that confirmed a mixed chloride-leaching process could be used to extract the titanium, vanadium and hematite. In March 2012, the company released a new JORC Code compliant resource estimate for the deposit of 4712 Mt at 0.3% V2O5, 2.0% titanium (Ti) and 14.7% iron (Fe), an increase of 32% on the previous resource estimate. In April 2012, the company completed a scoping study and, in May 2012, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the traditional owners of the land. In September 2012, the company suspended activities at Speewah, citing limited funding and an unfavourable outlook for financing.
