Located within one of Liberia’s iron ore mining districts, the Mofe Creek Project is 10km along strike from the previously mined Bomi Hills mine.

The project is characterised by coarse grained, itabirite. It is located 20km from the coast for potential haul-road trucking or conveyor of product to the coast and transhipment through barge to deeper water.
