Phosphate Australia Limited engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of phosphate, iron, and uranium properties in Australia. The company was formerly known as Nicholson Resources Limited and changed its name to Phosphate Australia Limited in February 2008. Phosphate Australia Limited was incorporated in 2008 and is based in West Perth, Australia.
hosphate Australia Limited is in a very strong position to make new greenfields phosphate discoveries. Some of the most prospective ground in the Northern Territory is held by the Company. There are three main areas of interest (see figure):
1. Along strike from Highland Plains following the Proterozoic unconformity.
2. North of Highland Plains targeting Cambrian phosphate inliers within the Proterozoic.
3. Radiometric anomalies within the Georgina Basin itself.
Recent geological mapping by the Northern Territory Geological Survey ("NTGS") has identified outcrop and sub-crop of iron-bearing formations on the Company's tenements that lie within the South Nicholson Group. NTGS confirmed that one of these formations is equivalent to the host unit for the Constance Range iron ore deposits that lie just over the border in Queensland. The style of mineralisation has been described as Clinton type oolitic ironstones.
Iron ore exploration was conducted in the Constance Range area in Queensland in the early 1960s. Results for this exploration are based upon historical data that was prepared before the introduction of the JORC Code and as such is not able to be included in this Prospectus.
Since the discontinuation of the Constance Range iron ore project in the early 1960s, iron ore industry economics have changed considerably. The massive stratiform oolitic ironstones for which the Company's South Nicholson Basin tenements are prospective and has known occurrences, make it an excellent iron ore exploration target.
The Company's tenements in the South Nicholson Basin are under explored for iron ore and have considerable potential to convert known iron occurrences into commercial tonnages and grades. From recent mapping and site visits the Company has defined target areas for follow up.
It is the intention of the Company to follow up these targets with field mapping and sampling.

The Company's tenements in the South Nicholson Basin region are prospective for uranium. The rocks here are from Lower to Upper-Proterozoic in age and are being targeted for unconformity type uranium deposits. The "hot" (uranium rich) Murphy Inlier granite adjoins the northern part of the tenement area which could potentially act as a source for uranium rich fluids.
There are numerous airborne uranium radiometric anomalies on the Company's tenements that are prospective for uranium mineralisation; these anomalies warrant ground follow up.
The Company intends to field map and sample the uranium radiometric anomalies and associated structures. A hand held scintillometer will be used whilst mapping to assist with identifying any areas of outcropping uranium mineralisation or account for the radiometric anomalies. The results from mapping and sampling programs would provide orientation data for follow up geophysics surveys and drilling as required.
