Australian mineral resources company WPG Resources Ltd has announced that it has re-entered the
iron ore business in South
Australia, signing a binding heads of agreement with Brisbane-based Maosen
Australia Pty Ltd for the development of the Giffen Well
iron ore project.
WPG will hold interest in Giffen Well through its subsidiary Giffen Iron Private Limited, which can earn up to an 82 percent interest in the joint venture after A$5 million payment and funding a bankable feasibility study.
