EXPLORATION UPDATE

Narryer Project (100% BUX), Gascoyne Region, WA

  • Unprecedented rock chip REE result (0.45% TREO) at Prodigy Prospect

  • Ground EM survey successful, three conductors defined for drill testing NiCu-PGE and carbonatite related REE targets

  • EL 09/2722 granted to secure strike extensions of the Bandito Prospect

Buxton Resources Ltd (ASX:BUX) is pleased to update shareholders on recent progress at the Company’s 100% owned Narryer Project in WA’s Gascoyne region.

Highly Anomalous REE in Rock Chip at Prodigy Prospect

Field reconnaissance identified a previously unknown outcrop of mafic volcanic rocks at the Prodigy Prospect within E09/2427, rocks which are otherwise covered by flatdipping quartzites. A Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) result of 0.45% was returned from a chip sample of relatively fresh basaltic rock (Figure 1).

These Rare Earth Element (REE) results (Table 1) are an impressive 22 to 93 times higher than background for basaltic rocks, which average 0.01% TREO. A significant proportion (52%) of the REE is the more valuable Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (HREO) fraction which totals 0.24% of this sample, as per Table 1 below (see Table 4 at end of text for full REE suite assay results).

  • • HREO (Heavy Rare Earth Oxide) = Eu2O3 + Gd2O3 + Tb2O3 + Dy2O3 + Ho2O3 + Er2O3 + Tm2O3 + Yb2O3 + Y2O3 + Lu2O3

This level of REE enrichment in only moderately weathered rocks suggests to Buxton that there is potential for carbonatite-type REE mineral systems on the Narryer Project tenure , which is effectively completely unexplored for REE. Most previous exploration along this part of the Yilgarn Craton margin, and Buxton’s focus to date, has been on ortho-magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE potential.

The potential for a carbonatite-type REE mineral system to occur in this area is further supported by;

  • Reconnaissance portable XRF analysis of outcropping volcanics at Prodigy which returned elevated levels of pathfinder elements such as niobium, phosphorus, barium, and copper.

  • The pattern of the airborne magnetic anomaly images (Figure 2), which at Prodigy is consistent with the gently dipping volcanics / quartzites observed in outctop, whereas the Bandito magnetic anomaly exhibits circular / concentric patterns that resemble the central intrusive core of typical carbonatite complexes.

  • Buxton’s MLEM results (see below) at Bandito which have defined two drill targets at 85-90m depth.

With the granting of E09/2722, Buxton now holds 1,918 km[2] in four granted ELs along the highly prospective Yilgarn Western Margin, including the adjoining Proterozoic Badgeradda Basin. A ~30 km long tectonic sliver of the Badgeradda

PO Box 661 Suite 1, First Floor T. 08-9380 6063 www.buxtonresources.com.au Nedlands WA 6009 14-16 Rowland Street E. [email protected] Subiaco WA 6008

==> picture [209 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

Basin has been emplaced here along this craton margin; the full extent of that sliver and margin is now covered by Buxton’s exploration licenses E09/2427 and E09/2722. Nothing other than sedimentary rocks had previously been identified in this area.

The broad tectonic and geological setting is conceptually prospective for REE, with the Gascoyne region shaping up as Australia’s REE hotspot. REE projects nearby include Yangibana (under construction, ASX: HAS), Mangaroon (ASX: DRE), Mick Well (ASX: KFM), and Innouendy (ASX: DM1). The only REE operation in production in Australia is Mount Weld (ASX: LYC), near Laverton, WA.

MLEM Survey defines Drill Targets at Bandito and Ranger

A highly targeted moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey has been completed at three sites at the Narryer Project on tenements E09/2427 and E09/2428.

The locations for the MLEM survey were chosen based on Buxton’s 2022 AEM survey which identified several high priority targets for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralisation at the Bandito and Ranger prospects. A total of 3 individual plates have been modelled with conductance values between 100 – 2,100 Siemens (Table 2, Ranger prospect shown in Figure 3).

Table 2 Model results of EM plates

Table 2 Model results of EMplates
Locality Estimated Size of EM Plate Conductance
(Siemens)
Bandito_A 400m x 400m 250
Bandito_B 700m x 300m 100
Ranger_A ~230m depth,~870m strike,size unconstrained 2100

The plate modelled at Ranger_A has a high conductance (2,100 Siemens) consistent with the Ni-Cu-PGE target. The Ranger_A plate is ~230 metres in depth and ~870 metres along strike, although the southern side is poorly constrained due to the source plunging to depth. The modelling at Bandito resulted in two lower conductance plates likely related to magnetite, and consistent with the carbonatite related REE model.

Results of the EM modelling, and the unprecedented REE rock-chip result, have encouraged Buxton to plan an initial exploration RC drill program of four holes totalling 835 metres (Table 3). These holes would test for carbonatite-associated REE mineralisation at Bandito, and Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation at Ranger .

Additional Narryer Project progress includes;

  • Programme of Work approval by DMIRS for drill testing of MLEM plates modelled at Ranger and Bandito prospects.

  • A Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) has been executed with the Wajarri Yamaji Aboriginal Corporation (WYAC).

  • E09/2922 has been granted. This secures the along-strike extension of the Bandito Prospect, and brings Buxton’s 100%-owned total Narryer holding to 1,918 km[2] in four granted Els.

Buxton is now engaging with WYAC to conduct a heritage survey at Bandito and Ranger , along with undertaking additional ground geochemical follow-up of numerous airborne EM and radiometric targets.

About the Narryer Project

The Narryer Terrane forms part of the Archean Yilgarn Craton margin which hosts the recently discovered, world-class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project. This new discovery by Chalice Mining Ltd and the presence of numerous Ni-Cu-PGE occurrences along a >1,000km strike length defines the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province - a highly prospective new exploration frontier now subject to intense exploration activity. Buxton has also now identified that the Narryer Project has potential for carbonatite-related Rare Earth Element (REE) style deposits in the Proterozoic Badgeradda Basin rocks which have been accreted to the Yilgarn Craton. The Narryer Project also has potential for regolith-hosted REE within both Proteroxoic and Archean successions.

During 2021 & 2022, Buxton completed ground reconnaissance, a regionally extensive 1-km spaced ground gravity survey and a highly targeted 2566.6-line km Airborne EM survey. Interpretation of the AEM data has identified multiple high priority anomalies, three of which warranted immediate follow-up by moving loop EM.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down-hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
The Ground Electromagnetic (EM) survey was
undertaken by Wireline Services Group using GeoResults
DRTX TX4 high power transmitter (~90Amps), highly
sensitive EMIT Fluxgate B-field sensors and single-turn
16 mm copper cable. The SMTFluxgate B-field receiver
used an In-loop Position. The moving loop EM used a
200m square loop.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Positional control for the MLEM survey and rock chip
sampling was via handheld GPS (+/-5m).
Specification of the grid system used. All coordinates are based on Map Grid Australia Zone 50,
Geodetic Datum of Australia 1994
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The MLEM crew used handheld Garmin GPS units for
topographic control. The estimated accuracy of this
system is 1-2m which his deemed sufficient for this type
of survey.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The MLEM survey consisted of 212 stations conducted
on 200m spaced lines with 100m spaced acquisition
centres.
Rock chip sampling programs are reconnaissance in
nature and sample spacing is deemed appropriate for
this stage of exploration.
No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve calculations have
been performed.
No sample compositing has been undertaken.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of data in
relation to 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.
The MLEM survey achieves an unbiased sampling of the
EM field by constantly moving the transmitter loop.
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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. The EM data was maintained on secure servers managed
by WSG and the independent contractor. Final data as
received by Buxton is also stored on a secure network.
The chain-of-sample custody is managed by BUX staff.
Samples were stored at the field camp and sampled in
the field by BUX staff and contractors. Samples were
placed in calico bags and further secured ingreenplastic

a compilation of other relevant open file data.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The primary target mineralisation style in the Project
area is interpreted to be primary orthomagmatic
intrusion related Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide type.
The Project covers regions of the Narryer Terrane in the
Yilgarn Craton, which includes reworked remnants of
Archean greenstone sequences and layered mafic-
ultramafic complexes that are prospective for intrusion-
hosted Ni-Cu-(Co)-(PGEs). The Project also covers a sliver
of Badgeradda Basin – a poorly characterised sequence
of volcanics and sedimentary rocks which may be
Neoproterozoic – Mesoproterozoic in age.
The Project is situated on the (NW) margin of the Yilgarn
Craton which - a deep-seated structural configuration
that is favourable for the focussing of magmatic
intrusions and related sulphide deposits.

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.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Not applicable.
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 used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
Not applicable.
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’).
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.
See text and figures in body of release.
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.
Reporting of BUX’s rock chip sampling is limited areas of
outcrop or subcrop, float samples and highly weathered
samples have been omitted for clarity & relevance.
This is not deemed to misrepresent the indicated
prospectivityof the tenementpackage.
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.
Not applicable.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).
See text and figures in body of release.
