Altus Strategies (LSE:ALS,TSXV:ALTS) has released an update on exploration activities at its 97.3-percent owned 400km² Bikoula and Ndjele high grade colluvial iron ore project in southern Cameroon.

As highlighted in the press release:

• Reconnaissance pitting and mapping confirms additional supergene haematite
• Historic drilling results include 57.8m at 51.4 percent iron (incl. 30.8m at 57.9 percent iron from 3.8m)
• Previous metallurgical testing by SGS has yielded a 62.7 percent iron concentrate from gravity separation
• Project strategically located close to existing road and potential rail line to Kribi deep sea port

CEO of Altus, Steven Poulton said:

High-grade iron ore products are currently yielding significant premiums to general market prices. Our Bikoula project is located within a strategic iron ore corridor in southern Cameroon and hosts a high grade unconsolidated colluvial and haematite weathered blanket, above a primary magnetite orebody. As previously reported, preliminary metallurgical test-work on representative samples from Bikoula have yielded a 62.7 percent iron concentrate from gravity separation alone.
