High-grade Mineral Sands Intersected at Pyramid Hill

  • Results received for a reconnaissance drilling program for mineral sands at Pyramid Hill with highlights from the Farrelly Prospect including:

PHAC1803 17m @ 9.8% THM from 12m; including11m @ 14.4% THM from 16m; that also includes1m @ 21.6% THM from 16m; and7m @ 16.8% THM from 19mPHAC1804 18m @ 5.5% THM from 13m; including7m @ 10.7%% THM from 20m; that also includes4m @ 12.0% THM from 22mPHAC1790 6m @ 4.8% THM from 8m; including1m @ 9.6% THM from 8mPHAC1789 7m @ 2.1% THM from 10mPHAC1788 4m @ 2.9% THM from 11m

  • The high-grade Farrelly Prospect is open in all directions, with follow up aircore drilling planned to determine the orientation and scale of the prospect

  • Visual mineralogical assessment has identified encouraging levels of potentially valuable heavy minerals including zircon, rutile and ilmenite

  • Monazite was also observed, which is known to contain Rare Earth Elements (REE), considered critical metals for clean energy technologies, with further test work required to quantify grade and REE content

  • Additional metallurgical work is required to determine the quality of the Valuable Heavy Minerals (VHM) which is important in understanding the significance of the identified mineralisation

  • Several other areas of mineral sands mineralisation were intersected that require further assessment

  • Gold exploration continues at Pyramid Hill with aircore drilling ongoing, including infilling areas of previously announced anomalous results, as well as the reconnaissance screening program to identify new prospects

Falcon Metals Limited ( ASX: FAL ) ( “Falcon” or “the Company” ) advises that it has received results for select samples from a 77-hole aircore program at its Pyramid Hill Project in Victoria (see Figure 1), focused on assessing two permits for mineral sands and associated REE. Although the permits drilled were initially explored for gold, Falcon recognised the potential for mineral sands mineralisation after completing a review of historical work on areas where the Murray Basin cover is considered prospective for mineral sands. The review of previous work carried out in the 1970s and 1980s identified specific targets that were selected for testing in this program. Although widespread mineral sands mineralisation was noted by these previous explorers, the depth of testing and the sporadic nature of sampling and subsequent analysis means this data is not of sufficient quality to be used.

was also noted that this work did not adequately test for the presence of higher-grade strandline-type deposits. Falcon’s targeting was specifically focused on finding these higher-grade zones within the areas selected.

Several holes at the newly named Farrelly Prospect returned high-grade results, with detailed grain counting and sachet scanning recording encouraging levels of valuable heavy minerals, including elevated zircon and rutile. Although monazite is present, further work is also needed to accurately quantify the amount of this mineral and the associated REE mineralisation. Falcon is planning a second phase of work on this prospect involving follow-up drilling, metallurgical test work and detailed mineralogical assessment.

Anomalous minerals sands were also intersected at the Marmal Prospect in line with historical results. Several drill holes in the northwest of EL007120 confirmed the presence of mineral sands in areas that had not been previously explored. Falcon will await further mineralogical assessment to determine if additional work is warranted on these lower priority areas.

Falcon Metals’ Managing Director Tim Markwell said:

“The intersection of these high-grade zones of mineral sands in the Murray Basin is a positive development for Falcon, and this initial short program of drilling is in addition to the gold exploration program that is ongoing. Our focus will undoubtedly remain on gold, to vector in on potential highgrade discoveries in one of the world’s great gold provinces.

It is easy to forget we are also in a mineral sands province where several companies are in the process of developing large projects. Falcon will take the initiative to further assess the mineral sands potential off the back of these results and look for ways to create additional value for shareholders.”

Reconnaissance Aircore Program

A review of the Falcon land position in Victoria for critical minerals identified several areas with known mineral sands and related REE potential in the Murry Basin cover in EL006864 and EL007120. Victoria is a known mineral sands province with several large projects currently in development phase. In the Victorian Murray Basin, there are at least five known mineral sands deposits with published JORC Resources. These are noted below in Table 1, with three of the nearby deposits shown in Figure 1.

In October 2023 Falcon completed 77 reconnaissance aircore holes for 3,461m across EL006864 and EL007120 on the most prospective areas of these permits. Select samples were sent to Diamantina Laboratories in Western Australia for Heavy Media Separation (HMS) test work to determine the Total Heavy Mineral (THM) content of the samples. Given anomalous results were returned, a second phase of work was conducted to determine the mineral suite to check on the Valuable Heavy Mineral (VHM) content which is critical in determining the significance of the results. This was a two-step process with detailed grain counting completed on a small subset of the results (ten samples), and the results used to complete a faster sachet scanning process to provide a high-level gauge on the broader mineral sands suite. All samples that returned >1 THM% were sent for sachet scanning. This level of work is considered sufficient to provide Falcon with enough information to determine next steps for any areas considered prospective. On the plan maps showing the mineral sands results, <3 VHM% x metres is considered to have low potential.

Farrelly Prospect

Several high-grade results were returned from the Farrelly Prospect (see Figures 2 and 3) with holes PHAC1803 and PHAC1804 returning the best results from the program. These holes were drilled on an east-west roadside, 200m apart, and were the only holes drilled in this area by Falcon.

PHAC1803 17m @ 9.8% THM from 12m; including

▪ 11m @ 14.4% THM from 16m; that also includes

• 1m @ 21.6% THM from 16m; and • 7m @ 16.8% THM from 19m

PHAC1804 18m @ 5.5% THM from 13m; including ▪ 7m @ 10.7%% THM from 20m; that also includes • 4m @ 12.0% THM from 22m

Over 5km north-northeast of these results, Falcon drilled a further three holes 200m apart which also returned anomalous results.

PHAC1790 6m @ 4.8% THM from 8m; including

▪ 1m @ 9.6% THM from 8m • PHAC1789 7m @ 2.1%% THM from 10m • PHAC1788 4m @ 2.9% THM from 11m

Although it is too early to determine if both lines of drilling are part of the same mineralised zone, it provides a compelling target for exploration given the shallow high-grade mineralisation. Falcon is well advanced with planning for infill and extensional drilling to investigate the extent and geometry of the high-grade mineralisation at the Farrelly Prospect. It is expected that this drilling will commence in the coming week.

Figure 2 Location of Farrelly Prospect

The sachet scanning of samples from the Farrelly Prospect confirmed that a suite of VHM is present in the high-grade areas. Some of the insitu VHM% grades are encouraging, particularly PHAC1803 with 17m @ 9.8% VHM from 12m (see Table 2). Given the high-grade of the Farrelly Prospect, the heavy mineral content is potentially significant with zircon ranging from 14% to 25%, rutile 5% to 13% and ilmenite 20% to 36%.

Grain counting was completed for five one-metre intervals from the Farrelly Prospect (Appendix 3) and this confirmed the presence of monazite (a REE bearing mineral, of which REE’s are considered critical metals for clean energy technologies), with values varying from 0.5% to 2.5% (See Table 3). It was noted by the mineralogist that accurately quantifying monazite is better suited to other techniques and additional mineralogical test work will provide more confidence in the abundance of monazite and the presence of xenotime throughout the mineral sands in Falcon’s tenements.

Marmal Prospect

The Marmal Prospect was identified by Aberfoyle Resources in the late 1980’s and infill drilling was completed but the available data was not of appropriate detail to develop an exploration target. Drilling completed by Falcon confirmed the presence of a low-grade but generally shallow prospect with a high percentage of VHM. There is some scope to increase the scale of the prospect to the south where more consistent zones of mineralisation were encountered in consecutive holes (see Figure 4), however, this target is a lower priority than the Farrelly Prospect.

Regional Results

An area in the northwest of EL007120 was targeted for drilling because it had never been explored but appeared to be the possible southern extension of a strandline that is held by Iluka Resources (ASX: ILU) under a retention licence. Although these results were not as encouraging as the Farrelly Prospect, they did highlight that some mineral sands potential does exist within the western part of EL007120 (See Figure 5).

Next Steps

Drilling is expected to recommence at the Farrelly Prospect by the end of the week. This program will involve the collection of sufficient material to allow for more advanced metallurgical test work to be undertaken.

It is anticipated that this program will take approximately one week to complete and then the rig will return to the gold exploration program.

Results from the other zones of anomalous mineralisation will be reviewed and further test work undertaken to determine which areas are sufficiently prospective to warrant follow up drilling.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Falcon Metals.
