With 10,407 metres of drilling completed this year from a total of 13,917 metres completed to date, we look forward to many more new discoveries. Diamond drilling, co funded by the DMIRS Exploration Incentive Scheme, of the outer magnetic rim of two large-scale ferrocarbonatite targets successfully intersected its intended magnetic source. Core has been logged and sampled and we are currently awaiting assay results.
There remains an exciting pipeline of drill targets recently discovered along the Y42 Splay ironstone where 4.19% TREO and 0.9% Nb2O5 were assayed in outcrop rock samples. As well there are numerous outcropping ironstone targets delineated from satellite imagery and geophysical targets undercover requiring additional drill testing.”
Lanthanein Resources Ltd (ASX: LNR) ( Lanthanein or the Company ) is pleased to announce assay results from the recent infill drilling completed at its Lyons Rare Earths Project in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia ( Lyons Project ). The drill program targeted high-grade rare earth mineralisation previously discovered at the outcropping ironstones at Lyons 12 and 13 (Figures 1 to 3).
Additional drilling of targeted priority high magnetic curvilinear trends where two 450 metre deep diamond holes co funded with $200,000 from the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) Exploration Incentive Scheme to investigate potential for large tonnage REE carbonatites similar to Lynas Corporation’s Mount Weld deposit in Western Australia.
A total of 93 RC and two diamond drillholes totalling 10,407 metres were completed testing both the known ironstones at surface, ironstone and carbonatite targets undercover (Figure 7). Assay results will continue to be received with approximately 60% of results received to date.
RC Drilling Assay Results Lyons 12 and 13 (LYRC112 to LYRC147):
The Company’s step out and infill drilling program from its maiden drilling program (refer to ASX Announcement dated 14 December 2022) completed a total of an additional 36 Reverse Circulation drillholes at Lyons 12 and 13 (Table 2) for 2,791m drilled, at an average depth of 78m. Mineral Resource Estimation is currently underway.
Significant 2023 drill intersections (Table 1) at the Lyons 12 and 13 prospects (Figure 1 to 5) include:
-
LYRC135: 1m at 0.76% TREO and 1.22% Nb2O5 from 33m
-
LYRC138: 2m @ 0.57% TREO and 0.18% Nb2O5 from 14m
-
LYRC141: 2m @ 0.66% TREO and 0.49% Nb2O5 from 51m
-
LYRC140: 3m @ 0.36% TREO and 0.63% Nb2O5 from 34m
-
LYRC133: 1m at 0.36% TREO and 1.09% Nb2O5 from 53m
Potential remains for further discoveries of ironstones and carbonatites (Figures 6 and 7) within the Company’s tenure where no historical REE exploration has occurred.

About Niobium
Niobium (Nb) is a ductile refractory metal that is highly resistant to heat and wear. Approximately 90% of niobium use is attributed to the steel industry, predominantly as a micro alloy with iron to make steel lighter and stronger. Applications of niobium in battery technology are evolving with potential to revolutionise the electric vehicle market.

Lighter, stronger and corrosion resistant steel
The addition of small, relatively cheap, amounts of niobium (much less than 1%) significantly increases the strength and decreases the weight of steel products. This results in more economic, beneficial products for use in the construction industry (e.g., beams in buildings, bridges, oil rigs, railway tracks), in gas and oil pipelines, and in the automotive industry where weight savings result in increased performance and fuel reduction.
The addition of approximately 300g of niobium can reduce the weight of steel in a mid-size car by 200kg which increases fuel efficiency by 5%.
Battery Technology Development
The incorporation of niobium into various battery components has shown the potential to enhance performance across a range of attributes including:
• Super-fast charging (<6 minutes) and discharging rates;
• Prolonging the lifespan of battery-powered products (more charging cycles); and
- Improved safety (lower fire risk).
CBMM, the world’s largest niobium producer, has a partnership with Toshiba to advance battery technology incorporating niobium and commercialise the next generation of batteries.
Niobium Supply
Niobium production is heavily concentrated in Brazil, primarily under the control of CBMM. Brazil accounts for approximately 95% of global niobium supply from two producers: CBMM and China Molybdenum. Magris Performance Materials (MPM), the world’s only other producer, operates the Niobec niobium mine in Canada.
Niobium is a Critical Mineral
Niobium is essential for advanced technology and is identified by the Australian, US and Japanese Governments and the European Union as a critical mineral, i.e. minerals (or elements) considered vital for the well-being of the World's economies, yet whose supply may be at risk of disruption.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| 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. • 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assaying. Two sampling techniques were utilised for this program, 1m metre splits directly from the rig sampling system for each metre and 3m composite sampling from the spoil piles. Samples submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site geologist. 1m Splits From every metre drilled a 2-3km samples (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each metre of drilling. All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30). |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
RC Drilling Topdrill undertook the program utilising a Schramm T685 wheel-mounted (8x8) drillrig with additional air from an auxillary compressor and booster. RC bit size was 5.5inch. |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
RC Drilling Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practise’ approach to achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the mineralised zones. Best practise sampling procedure included: suitable usage of dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting off bottom between each metre, cleaning of sampling equipment, ensuring a dry sample and suitable supervision bythe supervising geologist to ensure |

| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
RC drill chips were logged by a qualified geologist with sufficient experience in the geological terrane and relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry standard logging system which could eventually be utilised within a Mineral Resource Estimation. Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, weathering and structure were all recorded digitally. Chips were washed each metre and stored in chip trays for preservation and future reference. RC pulp material is also analysed on the rig by pXRF, scintillometer and magnetic susceptibility meter to assist with logging and the identification of mineralisation. Logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi- quantitative in nature. |
| Sub- sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
RC Drilling From every metre drilled, a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter. QAQC in the form of duplicates and CRM’s (OREAS Standards 460, 461 and 465) were inserted at a rate of 1:50 samples. Blank samples were inserted at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within mineralised zones, a standard and a blank were inserted. 2-3kg samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories (Perth), oven dried to 105⁰C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 0.66g charge for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30). Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored. |

upon assay result receival. • All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Wangara, Perth where 250g of RC sample were pulverised to better than 85% passing minus 75 micron. • A 66-gram aliquot of pulverised sample is fused with 12:22 lithium borate flux containing an oxidizing agent, and poured to form a fused disk. The resultant disk is then analysed by XRF spectrometry specifically for Rare Earths (ALS Method ME-XRF30) • Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE determination. • Standards, duplicates and blanks were submitted with RC samples every 50m and within mineralised ironstones. Airborne geophysical data including magnetics and radiometrics (eK, eTh, eU) were collected by MagSpec Airborne Surveys. The survey was flown with a Cessna 206 aircraft. Magnetic data was collected from a G-823A cesium vapour magnetometer using a 50m line spacing and 30m sensor height. Radiometric data was collected from an RSI RS-500 gamma-ray spectrometer of 32L Crystal Volume flown at 30m sensor height and 50m line spacing. All readings (X,Y,Z) were within a 2m accuracy. Traverse Line Direction was East-West. |

| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Logging and Sampling Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite database. Significant intersections are inspected by senior company personnel. No twinned holes have been drilled at this time. No adjustments to any assay data have been undertaken. Field data is entered into excel spreadsheets to be loaded into a database. |
| 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 |
• Collar position was recorded using a Garmin handheld GPS which has an accuracy of +/- 5m. |

| 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 drillhole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interceptiondepth 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. |
An overview of the drilling program is given within the text within this document. |
| 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 used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No pXRF readings or metal equivalents are reported. |
| Relationship between mineralisatio n 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Drilling is undertaken close to perpendicular to the dip and strike of the mineralisation. The true thickness of the mineralisation intersected in drill holes cannot currently be calculated. |
