Significant Rare Earth Results from Drilling and Rock Chip Sampling at Khartoum Project

Highlights:

  • Recent assessment of results from rock chip sampling and RC drilling previously completed by the Company at the Khartoum Project, North Queensland, has identified significant Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values including:

  • Rock chip values to 6993ppm and 5782ppm TREO.

  • Drilling results of 8m at 2096ppm and 2m at 3093ppm TREO.

  • High ratio of Heavy REO including 62% (with 1680ppm Y203) and 81% (with 2310ppm Y203).

  • High ratio of Magnetic REO with 15 samples greater than 20%.

  • Significant values to 1230ppm Nd2O3, 456ppm Dy2O3, 377ppm Pr6O11, 54ppm Tb4O7, 218ppm Gd2O3, and 2310ppm Y203.

  • Elevated REE samples collected in areas of significant Sn and W sample results, from 5 different prospect areas.

EV Resources Limited (ASX:EVR) (“ EVR ”, or the “ Company ”), is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Khartoum Project, located in North Queensland.

A recent assessment of rock chip and drill samples has identified several prospect areas that have returned significant Rare Earth Element (REE) results. The samples were initially collected during the Company’s exploration efforts to define tin (Sn) and Tungsten (W) mineralisation.

Rock chip samples were collected from various prospects within EVR’s Khartoum tenure, either from historic mine dumps or outcropping geology that indicated potential for Sn and/or W mineralisation. The drill samples are from RC drilling completed by EVR during 2022 to test Sn geochemistry targets.

Drilling was undertaken in the Boulder area to test the significance of surficial Sn geochemical anomalies in areas of greisen alteration of host granites. The drilling intersected elevated REE at shallow depth at a few locations (see Table 2 for a summary of significant REE results). Most of the intersections returned a high ratio of Magnetic REO with maximum values of 223ppm Dy2O3, 1052ppm Nd2O3, 233 Pr6O11 and 39ppm Tb4O7. Many of the drill results are from 4m composite samples, hence grades may be greater over individual metre intervals.

EV Resources’ Executive Director Adrian Paul commented:

“The Herberton-Mt Garnet Mineral Field has always been recognised as a highly mineralised, prospective and under-explored region. Recent studies by the Queensland Geological Survey has highlighted the district, including EV Resources Khartoum Project tenure, as having potential to host epithermal, intrusive-style and porphyry-style mineralisation. Work by the Company in the past 18 months since acquiring the tenements has defined several areas with potential for economic Sn and W mineralisation, with one prospect having already been tested with preliminary drilling. The presence of significant Rare Earth Element values, and particularly critical NdPr magnet REEs, highlights the potential of the Khartoum Project to host critical metals.”

The most significant REE rock chip results are from areas of highly altered and greisenised fractionated granite outcrop. These include samples returning Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values of (See Table 1 for a summary of elevated REE results):

  • Adelaide - 3920ppm TREO (1680ppm Y203, 323ppm Nd2O3, 305ppm Dy2O3 and 47ppm Tb4O7).

  • Gows - 3295ppm TREO (675ppm Nd2O3, 83ppm Dy2O3, 155ppm Pr6O11 and 15ppm Tb4O7).

  • Fingertown - 4678ppmTREO (2310ppm Y203, 151ppm Nd2O3, 456ppm Dy2O3 and 54ppm Tb4O7).

  • Geebung - 6993ppm TREO (1230ppm Nd2O3, 377ppm Pr6O11, 99ppm Dy2O3 and 20ppm Tb4O7) from Geebung.

It should be noted that the REE results are from samples that were collected during exploration for Sn/W and were not targeting REE mineralisation, hence the significance of the elevated REE values. Also of note is that there are no significant REE values in the immediate areas of drilling, indicating surface depletion of REE elements, or the presence of lithological units intersected in drilling that do not have a surface expression.

Data collected to date has been assessed at a high-level by a Brisbane-based Geological Consultancy, who noted that the level of TREO anomalism does potentially indicate a broader mineral system which warrants further investigation. It should be noted that although highly anomalous, the values are an order of magnitude lower than typical hard rock primary REE deposits.

EVR recognisies considerable upside considering no work has been undertaken specifically targeting REE mineralisation at the Khartoum Project and of over 5000 rock chip samples in the geochemistry database less than 500 (EVR samples) have been analysed for a full suite of REE elements. Although drilling is sparce throughout the Khartoum tenure, only the holes completed by EVR in the Boulder area have been analysed for REE elements. Hence, the anomalous REE areas are heavily skewed towards prospects that have been sampled by EVR.

Further work is required to determine the significance and potential of the REE values. Host mineralogy is not yet understood and will be a key factor in determining the metallurgical process required to extract REEs and to what extent REEs could contribute to the Khartoum Project’s economic potential.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce
a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Rock chip samples of selected zones of outcrop or mullock from workings were collected based on geological
determination.
Bulk RC drill samples were collected at one metre intervals and riffle spilt to a 87.5:12.5 ratio. Initial 4m composite
samples were collected by spear sampling consecutive bulk bags to provide composite samples. Where
significant assay values were returned, 1m riffle spilt samples were submitted to the laboratory to provide a
result more indicative of in situ mineralisation.
All samples were between 2-3kg and were individually labelled and geologically documented.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Drill type was face sampling hammer reverse circulation using a 140mm bit..

Commentary
The recovery and moisture content of each 1m drill sample sample was visually assessed and recorded.
A high-capacity rig with auxiliary booster was used to ensure sufficient air capacity to maintain dry samples.
Cyclone and splitter were cleaned at every rod change and after every hole.
There is no apparent relationship between sample recovery and grade.
Geology of rock chip samples was recorded. Geological records have primarily been quantitative.
All RC samples were geologically logged by a qualified geologist at one metre intervals as each hole was drilled.
Data captured included lithology, oxidation state, mineralogy and alteration.
Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected. RC chips were retained in trays for future reference.
All holes for their entire length were logged.
For RC drilling each individual one metre sample of approximately 30kg is passed through a cyclone into a rotary
cone splitter. Approximately 87.5% was collected in a large plastic bag which is retained for future use if required.
The 12.5% split was collected a separate calico bag from the cone splitter. All samples were tube (spear)
sampled to provide 4m composite samples. 4m composite samples were initially submitted to the laboratory.
1m samples corresponding to significant 4m composite results were then submitted to the laboratory.
At the laboratory, samples were dried crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. This is considered to
appropriately homogenise the sample to allow subsampling for the various assay techniques.
No Certified Reference Material, duplicate samples or blanks were used.
Sample sizes are industry standard and considered appropriate.

Commentary
Rock chip and drill hole sample analysis was undertaken by ALS Laboratories in Brisbane, Australia. Samples
were sorted, weighed, dried, crushed, and pulverised to 80% passing -75um.
Sn, W and In and a standard suite of RRE’s were analysed by Lithium Borate Fusion with ICP-MS finish (code
ME-MS81). Over limit Sn values were analysed by Sn-XRF15b. Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cu, Li, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sc, Tl
and Zn were analysed by 4 acid digest and ACP-AES finish (code ME-aACD81)
No geophysical or hand held XRF instruments were used.
Laboratory QAQC was undertaken.
Rock chip data was collected and documented by EV staff geologists in the field and transferred to an electronic
database.
Drill Hole Data including meta data, lithological, mineral, downhole survey, sampling, magnetic susceptibility,
etc., was collected electronically or entered directly into an excel spread sheet in the field. All data was then
merged into the primary database.
All significant drill hole intersections were verified by the Company’s Chief Geologist.
Assay data was not adjusted.
Drill hole collar and rock chip locations were surveyed using handheld GPS. Down hole surveys were undertaken
using a Reflex Multishot digital survey instrument. Stainless steel starter rods were utilised to minimise any

Commentary
Drilling was orientated to cross the mineralisation trend at moderate angles based on the orientation of mapped
surface outcrop.
No sample bias due to drilling orientation is known.
Sample chain of custody was managed by the employees of EV resources. All samples were bagged and tied
in numbered calico bags, grouped into larger tied polyweave bags in the field. Samples collected in the field
were transported by geological staff to the Company’s Mt Garnet field base where they were collected by
courier and transported directly to the laboratory. All sample submissions were documented via ALS tracking
system and all assays reported via email.
No audits or reviews were deemed necessary as this work is purely qualitative assaying for first-pass exploration

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.

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.

Commentary
Calculated intersections are based on down hole length, true width is not known. The holes were designed to
intersect mineralisation at a near-perpendicular orientation based on surface outcrop mapping, however true
width of intersections cannot be determined at this stage.
A drill hole location plan is included as Figure 2. As drilling was of an initial exploratory nature, with only a small
number of holes drilled at each location, drill hole sections are not deemed necessary at this stage.
All results above the cut off reporting value of 1000ppm TREO have been reported.
All meaningful & material exploration data has been reported.
Exploration within the Khartoum Project tenements is at an early stage. EV intends to undertake more
systematic, detailed exploration work over higher-priority targets, including mapping and channel sampling along
the extent of outcrop that has previously returned elevated results.
If the results of rock chip values is of sufficient grade and extent of outcropping target is deemed significant,
further appraisal of prospects will be by drilling.
Further drilling is being planned to follow up the significant zones of mineralisation intersected in drilling.
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Relationship
between
mineralisation widths
and 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
(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
Calculated intersections are based on down hole length, true width is not known. The holes were designed to
intersect mineralisation at a near-perpendicular orientation based on surface outcrop mapping, however true
width of intersections cannot be determined at this stage.
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.
A drill hole location plan is included as Figure 2. As drilling was of an initial exploratory nature, with only a small
number of holes drilled at each location, drill hole sections are not deemed necessary at this stage.
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 results above the cut off reporting value of 1000ppm TREO have been reported.
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.
All meaningful & material exploration data has been reported.
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).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Exploration within the Khartoum Project tenements is at an early stage. EV intends to undertake more
