Maiden Pilbara resource for Alien

This article was published in Mining Journal, but couldn't read before since behind paywall.
Bill told the publication some important details:
"From very initial high level scoping study review work, we are very confident the economics of this project will be very low with a very small capex to get started, along with the high quality of the ore and, more significantly, the upside potential of the tenement to host substantially more DSO grade material in the ridge systems," said Good.
"We feel that the current iron ore price will level out soon to a more acceptable level and high demand for the DSO grade material will continue as there is still huge growth in the pipeline, hence the need for quality raw materials."
Good said Alien had started initial concept studies, which were "extremely positive for having a very competitive breakeven cost even with the current dip in the iron ore price, especially if you factor in the location of the project, the very low capex needed, with no railway or port building needed or even huge pre-strip requirements".
Then the article mentions, "Han**** is one of two tenements that sit within the Hamersley project, which borders licences held by Fortescue Metals Group, Han**** Prospecting and BHP."
So the options for our economic high-grade DSO sitting at surface are there:
Standalone, IPO/Spin-off, JV or large cheque.
Looking very promising indeed for shareholders :)
