Lyons 12 and 13 Infill Drilling Extends High Grade REE and Niobium

  • Infill drilling at the Lyons 12 & 13 prospects extend known strike length of economic TREO mineralisation to 1,200 metres and remains open

  • Maiden Resource Estimation at Lyons 12 & 13 and Project Exploration Target in process

  • 1 - 5 metre widths of REE mineralised ironstones at Lyons prospects analogous to Hastings Technology Metals Simons Find, Frasers and Bald Hill REE deposits ~2.5km away¹

  • Significant new intercepts from the latest round of drilling include:

  • LYRC135: 1m at 0.76% TREO and 1.22% Nb2O5 (45% NdPr:TREO) from 33m

  • LYRC138: 2m @ 0.57% TREO and 0.18% Nb2O5 (50% NdPr:TREO) from 14m

  • LYRC141: 2m @ 0.66% TREO and 0.49% Nb2O5 (46% NdPr:TREO) from 51m

  • LYRC140: 3m @ 0.36% TREO and 0.63% Nb2O5 (39% NdPr:TREO) from 34m

  • LYRC133: 1m at 0.36% TREO and 1.09% Nb2O5 (42% NdPr:TREO) from 53m

  • Drilling of the Lyons Magnetic Intrusive Complex, related to ferrocarbonatites under cover completed, with assays awaited

  • Kilometre scale potentially mineralised ironstones both undercover and outcropping still to be drill tested

Mr Brian Thomas, Lanthanein Technical Director commented “The REE results of this current round of infill drilling of the high grade mineralised ironstones which outcrop over 1.2km strike at Lyons 12 and 13, demonstrates the economic potential the prospect. This current round of drilling will now allow us to begin a maiden Mineral Resource Estimation at Lyons 12 & 13.

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.

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

good sample quality.
At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample
recovery and grade.
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.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

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 drill
hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
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.
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.
