Location – Ethiopia Prospect, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia
- Clay beneficiation is underway on multiple holes (including ETH029). This process has increased rare earth grades by an average of 184% in previous samples
iTech Minerals Ltd (ASX: ITM , iTech or Company ) has received the second batch of analytical results from resampling of historical drilling at the Ethiopia Prospect on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. The second batch includes results from both beneficiated samples that concentrate the clay fraction and unbeneficiated samples which are straight from the ground, with no processing. Both sets of results are very positive. The beneficiated samples show an increase in thickness and extent of REE mineralisation across the prospect and the unbeneficiated samples indicate continuing improvements to thickness and grade. In particular, the preliminary results from drill hole ETH-029 have confirmed iTech’s expectation of thick, high-grade rare earth elements (REE) at the end of a line of drilling. The rare earths in ETH-029 continue to display enrichment of neodymium and praseodymium (~24% Nd+Pr), which are critical in the production of permanent magnets for electric vehicles and renewable energy. Significantly, this drill hole also shows a greater enrichment of high value heavy rare earths (~34%).
“What is particularly significant is that these results not only confirm the anticipated higher rare earth grades but the location of these holes also suggests that the potential Ion Adsorption Clay style of mineralisation is open in several directions. iTech is really looking forward to testing these areas in our upcoming drilling program.”

A detailed review of historical data, from aircore drilling undertaken by Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd in 2007, identified thick intervals, up to 24m, of high purity kaolin clay, over an area of approximately 1 km x 1km (Fig. 2). Of the 41 aircore holes drilled, a preliminary 10 holes were sub-sampled to assess the potential for high purity kaolin and ion adsorption clay (IAC) REE mineralisation. The results were successful and show thick intervals of high purity kaolin at or near surface with coincident total rare earth element oxides (TREO) ( ASX Release, 12-Nov-21, Rare Earth Potential Confirmed at Kaolin Project). This encouraged iTech to sample the remaining drill holes.

Unbeneficiated results
Preliminary results from the remaining holes have been received (Table 2). These analyses were undertaken on the bulk sample prior to clay beneficiation. Based on the aluminium, silica, iron and REE values, iTech selects prospective samples for kaolin and/or REE mineralisation for clay beneficiation test work. Within this set of samples is drill hole ETH-029, which showed potential for high REE grades over a thick interval based on historical cerium values. ETH-029 had a historical analysis of 33m @ 356 ppm Ce from surface. This is over three times the Ce concentration in the best samples submitted to date, and over a significantly thicker interval. Analysis of the complete suite of REE has translated into a substantial result of:
- ETH-029 32m @ 1038 ppm TREO from 0m
oincluding 8m @ 1687 ppm TREO from 8m

Next Steps
iTech is now undertaking the kaolin beneficiation process on selected samples from the remaining 13 drill holes. In previous samples the REE’s have been significantly concentrated in the clay component, upgrading the REE grade on average 184%. This confirms that the REE’s are bound to the clay particles, and with the heavy rare earth element and neodymium and praseodymium enrichment, this is possibly an ion adsorption clay style of REE mineralisation. Samples are being sent to ANSTO in Sydney to understand the REE recoveries and what proportion might be ionically attached to clays and therefore readily recoverable.

JORC 2012 EDITION - TABLE 1
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 (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole 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. |
Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd • Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drill cuttings were collected at 1 metre intervals and contained in large plastic bags. Samples for geochemical analysis were collected as 6 metre composites taken over the entire length of each hole. The composites were collected by taking equal volumes from the contributing 1 metre bulk samples with the resulting composites weighing approximately 3-4 kilograms. A total of 258 original composite samples were collected. Additionally, eleven of the original samples were duplicated and submitted to the laboratory to determine laboratory accuracy and maintain quality control. • The Competent Person has referenced publicly sourced information through the report and considers that sampling was commensurate with industry standards current at the time of drilling and is appropriate for the indication of the presence of mineralisation. |
| 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.). |
• Ethiopia RAB holes ETH-01-41 – drilled by Johannsen Drilling using drill rig Edison 2000. Historical report no other details provided. • All holes were drilled using a small diameter percussion hammer run on RAB rods and in effect the drill method can be considered as open hole percussion. • The Competent Person has referenced publicly sourced information through the report and considers that drilling techniques was commensurate with industry standards current at the time of drilling and is appropriate for the indication of the presence of mineralisation. |
| Drill Sample Recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
• Ethiopia RAB holes ETH-01-41 - historical report no details reported. |

• Drill collar information, geological logs, total count gamma scintillometer and spectrometer readings and magnetic susceptibility readings were recorded in excel spreadsheets and made available in appendices 1-5 of PACE Report DPY4-33 |
| Sub- Sampling Techniques and Sample Preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all cores 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. |
Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd • Samples for geochemical analysis were collected as 6 metre composites taken over the entire length of each hole. The composites were collected by taking equal volumes from the contributing 1 metre bulk samples with the resulting composites weighing approximately 3-4 kilograms. • Additionally, eleven of the original samples were duplicated and submitted to the laboratory to determine laboratory accuracy and maintain quality control. Archer Materials and iTech Minerals • Kaolin rich intervals of the original Adelaide Resources 2007 RAB drilling were subsampled and submitted for kaolin analysis at Bureau Veritas based on visual estimates of whiteness and kaolin content. Additional samples were selected based on elevated Ce values as an indicator of TREO content. • The Competent Person has referenced publicly sourced information through the report and considers that sampling techniques was commensurate with industry standards current at the time of drilling and is appropriate for the indication of the presence of mineralisation. |

| 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. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd • Ethiopia RAB holes ETH-01-41 - historical report, no geochemistry details reported. However, duplicate samples were deemed to be within an acceptable range • Total count gamma scintillometer readings were made on each sample obtained from all the drill holes. Total counts were obtained using an Exploranium 110 instrument. • Where anomalous high counts were recorded estimates of uranium (U ppm), thorium (Th ppm) and potassium (K %) were obtained using an Exploranium GR-135G spectrometer. • Magnetic susceptibility readings were made on all composited (6m) drill samples using an Exploranium KT9 instrument Archer Materials and iTech Minerals • Kaolin rich intervals of the original Adelaide Resources 2007 RAB drilling were subsampled and submitted for kaolin analysis at Bureau Veritas using the following method oScreen with 45 micron screen using cold water oRetain both fractions oDry each fraction in low temp over oRecord masses. oRiffle split a 10gm (+45 and -45 fraction) for whole rock assay (14 element oxides) and LOI. iTech Minerals • Samples submitted by Archer materials were resubmitted for ISO (B) brightness and rare earth element analysis to Bureau Veritas.

| weight applied to the sample. • Brightness measurements were generally conducted according to (i) ISO 2469 Paper, board and pulps - Measurement of diffuse radiance factor (diffuse reflectance factor) and (ii) ISO 2470-1 Paper, board and pulps - Measurement of diffuse blue reflectance factor Part 1: Indoor daylight conditions (ISO brightness). Modifications were made, where appropriate, to these ISO procedures due to the difference between the materials in this standard and the current test samples (i.e. paper, board and pulps versus kaolinite/halloysite containing powders). • The Spectra Magic NX software was activated and the CM-25d spectrophotometer connected to the computer. • Spectrophotometer standards provided with the unit (i.e. zero and white) were run at the start of each analysis session and every 2 hours thereafter. • A clean ceramic tile was placed on the weighing balance. This tile was used for the preparation of the three replicates for each sample - a new tile was used for each additional sample. • A plastic tube was placed on the ceramic tile and the sample placed in it, to just below the top of the tube. The steel pin was then carefully lowered onto the sample and the tube/sample/pin/ceramic tile carefully moved to the press. • The arm of the press was moved to achieve a weight of 20 kg on the digital scale, for approximately 5 seconds. The pressure was gradually released, then the pin carefully removed. This resulted in a disc approximately 10 mm thick. • The disc was then inverted and placed, along with 8 others, in a 800 Watt microwave and dried, at full power, for 10 seconds. The 'dried'discs were then placed in a |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral Tenement and Land Tenure Status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
• Tenement status confirmed on SARIG. • The tenements are in good standing with no known impediments. |
| Exploration Done by Other Parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Relevant previous exploration has been undertaken by Shell Company of Australia Pty Ltd, Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd and Archer Materials Ltd • See body of report for details on previous exploration |

| – Dip and azimuth of the hole – Downhole length and interception depth – 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 clearlyexplain whythis is the case. |
||
| Data Aggregation Methods |
• 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. |
• Archer Materials kaolin analysis intervals were aggregated using no lower or upper cut-offs. • Adelaide Exploration U, Th and Ce intervals were aggregated using a 100 ppm Ce lower cut-off and with no high cut • iTech Minerals REE analysis intervals were aggregated using a lower cut-off of 200ppm TREO with no upper limit applied |
| 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 downhole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘downhole length,true width not known’). |
• Ethiopia RAB holes ETH-01- 41 – holes were drilled vertically which is appropriate to sufficiently assess the horizontally lying weathering profile and kaolin and REE mineralisation. |
| 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. |
• See main body of report. |
| 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. |
