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).

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

==> 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 .

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.

| 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. |

||
| 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). |
