This will speed up the process to develop the project and start production. Importantly, It will also cut required start-up capital.<\/p>\n<p>Under this scenario, the Yunndaga rail siding will be progressed once cashflows have been established from operations.<\/p>\n<p>Iron ore futures, currently at US$135.55\/t, received a boost from China\u2019s central bank predicting a cut in the reserve requirement ratio for banks within the next two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Direct Shipping Ore Marketing <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Alongside Argonaut and its financial advisors, JNO has also started a process with major metal traders in selling Mount Mason DSO with the requirement of offering potential debt finance and securing hedging while the iron ore price is right.<\/p>\n<p>With production planned at 1.35mtpa \u2013 lower than the majors \u2013 secured hedging is needed to ensure continued and profitable operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Progress continues at Mount Ida, too<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, at the large Mount Ida magnetite project, Juno has started a process to attract a substantial partner to earn-in at the asset level, with capacity to complete a feasibility study, permitting requirements and ultimately development<\/p>\n<p>In the Mount Ida project area, Phase 2 drilling is under way on both the Northern and Southern lithium soil anomalies after ranked priority areas were evaluated on the ground by JNO\u2019s consulting senior geologist.<\/p>\n<p>Extended soil sampling also begun on the balance of JNO\u2019s mining lease tenure on Mount Ida and Mount Mason, in parallel with the drill program.<\/p>\n<p>The exploration began late last year after JNO <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/resources\/juno-raises-full-3-6m-starts-drilling-in-lithium-corridor-of-power\/\">boosted its coffers by $3.6 million<\/a> from an entitlement offer<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Juno Minerals, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
