Wind Break confirmed as high grade rare earths deposit

A 30 hole drill campaign at Wind Break discovered thick, clay-hosted high grade rare earth elements in an old timber plantation

Results confirm the 100 km[2] exploration target area

ABx’s drilling campaign resumed last week, focusing on high grade Rubble Mound and extensions of the high-grade Deep Leads zone

ABx Group (ASX: ABX) is pleased to announce high-grade rare-earth elements (REE) results from the first rare earths drilling campaign at the Wind Break deposit, which is located 15 km northeast of the 52 million tonne Deep Leads-Rubble Mound rare earths resource[1] . The results are an emphatic confirmation of ABx’s northern Tasmanian exploration target area that exceeds 100 km[2] (Figure 1).

High Dy+Tb : Like all ABx rare earths in Tasmania, the Wind Break mineralisation is highly enriched in the two rare earths with the most critical supply risk, dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), with Dy+Tb exceeding 4.5% of TREO. This remains the highest proportion of Dy and Tb of any clay-hosted rare earths resource in Australia, and is globally very high. The grades of thorium and uranium are also very low.

The bottom layer in the first hole of this campaign, hole WB126, exemplifies the high proportion of Dy and Tb – see Table 1.

ABx Group Managing Director and CEO Mark Cooksey said:

“Our ionic adsorption clay rare earths resources are exceptionally enriched in the two most critical rare earths, namely Dy and Tb, and the Wind Break discovery continues this pattern. It also confirms that ABx’s REE are predominantly found in scrub country that has been converted to hardwood and pine plantations that are more amenable for development than Tasmania’s highly valuable farmland. ABx strongly endorses the value of agricultural and rural land.

“These latest results have confirmed that ABx’s exploration technology is unravelling the origins of this unique rare earths resource and leading us to the richer, thicker rare earths mineralisation.”

Next steps – Drilling is underway and extraction studies continue

ABx’s 2024 drilling campaign began on schedule on Monday 15 January and will focus on the large potential extensions of Deep Leads and Leech Scrub high-grade zones, and also commence drilling at the high-grade Rubble Mound zone that is yet to be drilled specifically for REE mineralisation.

At the same time, ABx is continuing its research into a low impact method of extracting its REE mineralisation.

This announcement is approved for release by the board of directors.

General

Information in this report relating to Exploration Information and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Ian Levy who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Levy is a qualified geologist and director of ABx Group Limited.

Mr Levy has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity, which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Levy has consented in writing to the inclusion in this report of the Exploration Information in the form and context in which it appears.

Table 2 - Summary of resource estimation information of 20 November 2023 referred to above, in accordance with LR 5.8.1

Geology and geological interpretation REE mineralisation occurs in clay layers that overlie a Jurassic age dolerite
basement in a district with some residual weathered Tertiary age alkali
basalt. Jurassic age tholeiitic dolerite and Tertiary age bauxite-laterite are
the main bedrock geological units. Paleochannels host thicker clay zones
which host the rare earth element mineralisation.
Sampling and sub-sampling techniques Sampling was at 1 metre intervals. Subsampling for assaying is by
quartering the clay samples twice and each time, mixing diagonally
opposite quarters. Assay results from resampling correspond satisfactorily.
Drilling techniques RC aircore and push-tube coring used. Auger drilling is being tested.
Criteria used for classification, including
drill and data spacing and distribution.
Indicated Resources are those blocks with grades above the cut-off grade
that were estimated based on a minimum 4 samples within 120 metres.
Inferred Resources are those blocks with grades above the cut-off grade
that were estimated based on a minimum 4 samples within 250 metres.
Sample analytical method Assay samples are analysed by standard NATA-approved induction coupled
plasma analytical methods for rare earth elements at ALS labs in Brisbane
(method ME-MS81) and LabWest in Perth (method MMA04). Interlab
comparisons proved satisfactory.
Estimation methodology The centroid of each 1 metre sample is accurately located in Easting, Northing
and RL coordinates.
Because the clay horizon drapes the topography, estimation is by two runs of
horizontal circular search ellipses. The first search ellipse is 120 metres
horizontally and 2 metres vertically to define Indicated Resources. The
second search ellipse is at 250 metres to estimate Inferred Resources.
Clay density is typically 2 tonnes per cubic metre, but some samples exhibit
density loss, so a density of 1.9 tonnes per cubic metre was applied globally.
Cut-off grade Block cut-off grade is 350 ppm TREO - CeO2which is equivalent to 250 to
300 ppm TREO – CeO2 in drillholes. A separation between background
and mineralised grades exists at 190-260ppm TREO-CeO2. See Fig 10.
Mining and metallurgical methods and
parameters, and other modifying factors

None applicable at this resource-drilling stage. Production and
rehabilitation strategies are being reviewed. Deposits of this type are
mined in China but under very different jurisdictions. The land is freehold
hardwood and pine plantations.

Table 3 shows the drill assay data and the JORC Appendix 1 information is attached.

mineralised prospects
• Geological continuity is established by drill pattern
• Grade continuity is not yet established beyond 50m
• Sample compositingnot applied
Orientation of

geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures
is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
• GPS location.
• Airborne Radar RL and LiDAR topography
• Lidar topography contoured at 1m height intervals
• All holes are short straight vertical holes
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions usedfor any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
• All data are presented as received from labs
• Intercept summaries, if and when presented, are
length-weighted arithmetic averages
• Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) are an aggregate of
all rare earth oxides. TREO-CeO2is TREO minus
Cerium oxide values.
Relationship
between miner-
alisation widths &
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
• Mineralisation typically 3 to 6 metres thick and
Drillholes are sampled at 1 metre intervals
• Horizontal layers drilled by vertical holes means
intercept thickness is true thickness
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
• N.A. Diagrams presented give appropriate
information
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
• All new results are reported in this report and
reference made to previous tabulation of data
Other
substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size
and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and
rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
• N.A. Information provided is appropriate.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological
interpretations andfuture drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
• Step-out drilling over a wider area has been
planned, work plans submitted and new drill rig
configurations have been developed.
