Development of Cardero Resources’ Pampa El Toro Property
in Peru
J. Ripke; Cardero Resource Corporation, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Cardero Resources is developing its iron (magnetite) sands resource in Peru, Pampa El
Toro, located near Nasca in the desert coastal region of southern Peru. The property is approximately
45 km from the port of San Juan, close to the large Marcona iron mine. A percussion
drilling program was completed and SRK Consulting Engineers have been retained
to complete the NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. During 2008, a dry
magnetic separation pilot beneficiation plant was designed and operated for two separate
campaigns. Additional testwork has shown that screening to remove a small fraction of
high silica material results with a concentrate containing greater than 65% total iron. Forty
tons of 58% iron content concentrate was shipped to the U.S. for electric smelting tests. In
addition, a research program is being conducted to recover valuable titanium and vanadium
from the slag.
