Lanthanein Resources Limited ( Lanthanein or the Company ) is pleased to provide its quarterly report for the three-month period ending 31 March 2023.

Gascoyne Rare Earth Elements (REE) Project, Western Australia

During the quarter the Company advised that an RC drilling programme of >10,000m targeting large scale Carbonatite targets and high-grade Ironstones had been planned at the Lyons Rare Earths Project, Western Australia. In addition, two diamond holes, jointly funded under DMIRS EIS scheme, are to be drilled into deeper Carbonatite targets in April.

The proposed drill programs will target large scale Carbonatite intrusive targets and high-grade ironstones as previously discovered at Lyons 11, 12, 13 and 27 ( Figure 1 ).

Further rock chip sampling, high resolution satellite spectral interpretation and drilling programs are planned to investigate additional targets not yet followed up, including thorium and magnetic anomalies throughout the Lyons Project and the high priority structural target along the major Bald Hill lineament which transects both the Edmund and Lyons Project Areas.

The Bald Hill lineament is the major control on rare earth mineralisation at Hastings Technology Metals Yangibana mine and represents a very high priority target for Lanthanein. Potential remains for further discoveries of ironstones and carbonatites within the Company’s tenure where no historical REE exploration has occurred.

The Company was awarded a $200,000 in co-funding from the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme to investigate potential for large tonnage REE carbonatites similar to Lynas Corporation’s Mount Weld deposit in Western Australia.

Carbonatites are becoming increasingly important due to potential to host economic quantities of Th, U, Nb, P, Y and rare earth elements, which are strategically important for modern technology. Within the Lyons Block and along the Bald Hill Lineament, numerous carbonatite intrusions have been modelled from the airborne magnetics (Figure 2) with a similar dimension to the Mt. Weld carbonatite.

Two drill holes to 450m depth are proposed the test the outer magnetic rim of two of the larger carbonatite intrusives including LI-03 at 3km diameter and LI-01 at 4km diameter. Fenitic alteration (incl. magnetite and Th) are found to be associated with the outer rim of these intrusive bodies.

On 24 March 2023 the Company advised that two surveys for heritage avoidance and flora had been completed to allow access for the upcoming 10,000m RC drilling programme. In addition the Company advised that the field camp had been established for the exploration programmes and site works commenced.

New Ironstones Defined at Lyons from Satellite Data

During the quarter announced the discovery of new ironstones found during recent fieldwork following up of Wordview satellite targets at the Lyons Rare Earths Project.

Anomalous Carbonatite signature mineralisation demonstrates the potential for both high grade REE mineralisation and larger tonnage REE and Nb2O3 within the main LI01-01 carbonatite target areas (Figure 3).

Anomalous Carbonatite indicator minerals from four newly discovered ironstones within the LI-01 Carbonatite target (Figure 3) include:

  • WVLY07 1400m long ironstone outcrop (LNR3430) 0.25% Nb2O3 and 0.25% ZrO2

  • (LNR3431) 0.25% TREO, 0.22% Nb2O3 and 0.72% ZrO2

  • WVLY31 (LNR3435) 0.33% TREO and 0.3% P2O5

  • WVLY32 (LNR3436) 0.4% TREO

  • WVLY42 (LNR3432) 0.12% Nb2O3

The Worldview satellite ironstone target WLY021 (Figure 4) occurs as a 2,000m long east-west feature, extending into the magnetic lineament ironstone target for an additional 800m west. A number of similar magnetic lineaments along the western boundary occur as splays off from the northeast trending magnetic lineament and host the Dreadnought Resources (Y42) ironstone. Fieldwork to ground check and sample this and other outcropping targets is planned to be completed early in the next quarter.

Murraydium Rare Earths Project, South Australia

Following the completion of the extensive community relations project, the first phase of the roadside aircore drilling programme at the Murraydium Project commenced in March at the Bordertown block of EL6717.

The programme has been planned for up to 307 Holes and is expected to be completed during Q2.

This region is considered highly prospective for ionic clay hosted rare earth deposits. Previous work done in the region by AR3 has outlined an extensive mineralised system where shallow near surface exploration has the potential to delineate significant JORC Resources of REEs.

The Murraydium Project is located in the south-eastern region of South Australia with EL 6717 covering an area of 872 km[2] of the Murray Basin (Figure 5). The region is seeing continued activity in the exploration for REE minerals with the success of Australian Rare Earths (ASX:AR3) at their 100% owned Koppamurra Project, host to a total mineral resource of 101 Mt @ 818 ppm TREO[1] , plus other successes with Resource Base Ltd (ASX:RBX) announcing a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 21Mt @ 767 ppm TREO (Inferred) at their Mitre Hill Deposit in the Murray Basin in Victoria.

1 JORC resource comprising 1Mt @ 894ppm TREO (Measured) , 63Mt @ 839ppm TREO (Indicated) and 38Mt @ 782ppm TREO (Inferred) (17 April 2023)

Koolya Project, Western Australia

During the previous quarter Lanthanein completed a first pass Aircore drilling program at Koolya Kaolin and High Purity Alumina Project in Western Australia, ( Koolya Project ). A wide spaced drill program with drillholes spaced 500m apart, covered 15km of prospective kaolin rich granite and intersected widespread kaolin of varying thickness, with a best result of 30m thick bright white kaolin from 4m depth (KAC014) (Figure 6).

During the quarter analysis was completed on the samples to quantify the specific characteristics such as ISO Brightness, Alumina content, presence of Halloysite and rare earth elements.

In April the Company announced the brightness results confirming the ultra-high bright kaolin at Koolya. In addition, the kaolin assays showed very low contained deleterious elements. Further analysis will be undertaken to better quantify the presence of Kaolinite and Halloysite using XRD analysis. A total of 10 samples had ISO-Brightness > 79.35 and four samples > 800ppm TREO (Tables 1 and 2).

Following these positive results further infill and step out drilling will be undertaken in Q2 & 3 to assist with the generation a mineral resource estimate by Q4, 2023.

Corporate

Capital Raise

On 1 February 2023, the Company announced it had received firm commitments from sophisticated investors to raise $2,520,000 (before costs) via a placement ( Placement ) of 140 million shares at an issue price of $0.018 per share ( Placement Shares ).

The subscribers to the Placement were issued 1 free attaching option exercisable at $0.03 expiring 31 December 2024 ( Placement Options ) for every two Placement Shares subscribed for.

The Placement was managed by Inyati Capital Pty Ltd ( Inyati ) and on 10 February 2024.

The funds raised from the Placement will be used primarily to fund drill programs planned at the Company’s Gascoyne REE Project and the Murraydium Ionic Clay REE Project.

Divestment of Tolukuma, Papua New Guinea (PNG)

The Company has previously announced the signing of an agreement with PNG based Tolu Minerals Limited (previously Lole Mining Limited) ( Tolu ) for the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Frontier Copper PNG Ltd, the holder of the Tolukuma Exploration Licence EL2531.

Under the Binding Terms Sheet entered into with Tolu on 18 March 2022, in consideration for the acquisition of the Tolukuma Gold Project, Tolu agreed to pay Lanthanein A$2 million comprised of A$500,000 cash and a further A$1.5 million either in cash or by way of the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in Tolu ( Tolu Shares ), at the same issue price as the initial public offering to be conducted by Tolu, or a combination of Tolu Shares and cash, at the election of Tolu ( Initial Consideration ).

==> picture [121 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

One of the conditions under the Binding Term Sheet is Tolu either successfully completing its planned initial public offering and listing on the ASX or some other recognised securities exchange or the securities in Tolu being sold to another company that is listed on ASX or some other recognised securities exchange.

On 28 March 2023, Tolu advised that it had received notification from the ASX that the prospectus should contain further information. Tolu are of the opinion that this approach will likely to incur time delays and unbudgeted costs and as such have withdrawn the proposed Prospectus with a view to lodging a new prospectus, compliant with the ASX requirements, in Q2.
