High Grade Hyden REE Project Secured Under Option

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • High-grade rare-earth element (REE) project secured under option

  • Extremely high-grade clay total rare earth oxide (TREO) drill sample of 46,716 ppm ( 4.67% ) TREO from 12m in hole 22-018 including:

  • 11,503 ppm (1.15%) La2O3

  • 10,918 ppm (1.09%) Y2O3

  • 2,682 ppm (0.27%) Pr2O3

  • 9,320 ppm (0.93%) Nd6O11

  • 1,561 ppm (0.16%) Dy2O3

  • High proportion of HREO (heavy rare earth oxides) – 37%

  • LREO (light rare earth oxides) represent 63%

  • Nd6O11 + Pr2O3 accounts for 26% ( 12,002 ppm or 1.2% ) of TREO

  • No systematic sampling or analysis for the full suite of REE has been undertaken on the project, only three samples tested to date

  • Significant gravity anomaly (2.8km x 2.2km) identified from regional gravity dataset east of high-grade TREO clay sample

  • Five additional exploration licence applications have been lodged bringing the project area to over 1,300km[2]

  • Programme of Works (PoW) submitted and approved for additional drilling and land access agreement reached with the key landowner, allowing additional exploration to be undertaken early in the new year

Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘ Mamba ’, ‘ M24 ’ or the ‘ Company ’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to purchase 100% of the REE rights over four exploration licences (E 70/5003, 5756, 6040 & 6047) covering an area of 561km[2] of predominantly broad acreage grain farms surrounding the wheatbelt town of Hyden. In addition to the area secured under the option agreement, Mamba has also applied for an additional 5 exploration licences (E 70/6353, 6354, 6355, 6356 & 6357) covering a total of 755km[2] , bring the total area covered by the Hyden project to over 1,300km[2] (see Figure 1).

Commenting on securing the high grade REE Project, Managing Director, Mike Dunbar said:

“We are very pleased to be able to secure this exceptionally high-grade clay REO project under option. Given most clay hosted REO mineralisation tends to be between 800 and 2,000ppm TREO, to have identified a zone of 46,700ppm , or 4.67% TREO in clays from the very limited sampling represents a very compelling target. The preliminary technical due diligence completed so far has also identified a

significant gravity anomaly just to the east of the area of limited REE sampling, which suggests there is significant potential in the area, not just for clay hosted REE deposits but hard rock REE potential as well. The significance of and relationship between the gravity anomaly and the exceptionally high clay REO grades identified is unknown at this early stage, and understanding the relationship forms a key aspect of the exploration strategy going forward.

As part of the option, we have committed to drilling for clay hosted REO mineralisation on the project in the coming months. To facilitate the drilling, a PoW has already been submitted and approved by DMIRS and with the land access agreements with the farmer already in place we will be able to commence drilling as soon as the farmer has harvested the paddocks of interest.”

Licograph Pty Ltd, the vendors of the property, have undertaken limited exploration in the area for graphite on the project over the last three years including drilling of 28 aircore holes for a total of 1,032 metres (see table one for collar information). A total of 280 samples were collected from the 660 metres of drilling completed in 2022. Analysis was undertaken for carbon on these samples, however full geochemical analysis including REE analysis has only been undertaken on three samples from the 2022 drilling (see Table two for full analytical data). Unfortunately, not only did Liocgraph not undertake analysis on all the samples collected, but they did not fully sample the drill holes, with samples only collected where graphite was logged.

As a result the clay surrounding the exceptionally high grade REO analysis of 1m @ 46,716 TREO from 12m in hole 22-018 was not sampled at all, and with the samples now destroyed (due to cropping of the area), redrilling of the area is needed to fully understand the full extent of the high grade mineralisation. Significantly the heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) represent 37% of the TREO and the Nd6O11 + Pr2O3 (NdPr) represent 26% of the TREO in the one sample taken from hole 22-018 (see Table 2 for full details).

Mamba has committed to completing this drilling and sampling of the clay REE potential during the option period, which extends until the extension of term of E 70/5003 is received, which is expected to be after the end of March 2023.

In addition to the high-grade clay hosted TREO mineralisation identified in the very limited sampling completed, during the technical due diligence completed on the project so far, a regionally significant gravity anomaly (2.8km x 2.2km) has been identified from the regional gravity datasets (see Figure 2). The proximity of the gravity anomaly along and a magnetic unit that runs through the, suggests that there is potential not only for clay hosted REE mineralisation, but also hard rock REE mineralisation within the project.

Mamba will undertake detailed magnetic and gravity surveys over the area to better define the geophysical anomalies prior to drilling of the bedrock source of the responses.

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 down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

The sampling undertaken by Licograph was dominated by aircore drilling.
The samples were placed on the ground in rows of 10. Intervals with
visible graphite was sampled in calico bags and samples transported to
laboratories for analysis. Intervals that did not have any visible graphite
were not sampled. As a result samples from intervals with no graphite
have been destroyed when the field was cropped. An XRF analysis was
undertaken on selected samples and anomalous REE samples sent for
full laboratory analysis. Only the full laboratory analysis is reported, as
in the CP’s opinion, XRF analysis for REE I sonly considered to be a
guide and full analysis needs to be undertaken for a definitive result.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

No duplicate samples were taken, however analysis was validated
through the use of internal laboratory standards and duplicates.

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

Samples were collected in the field and transported to the ALS for
analysis. As the bulk of the analysis was undertaken for graphite, the
samples were assayed using Graphitic carbon by IR Spectroscopy (ALS
code C-IR-18. The three REE samples taken were analysed by Lithium
Borate Fusion ICP-MS (ALS code ME-MS81) four elements (Dy, Gd, Pr
and Sm) from sample 211 reported over limit (>1000ppm) and were re-
analysed using the high grade REE method High Grade REE Fusion /
ICPMS (Als code ME-MS81h). only the REE (and REO) results are
reported in this announcement.

No relationship between sample size or recovery and grade is evident
from the data collected to date.

Some XRF analysis has been undertaken on the sample pulps, however

for REE by ALS, and only one sample from hole 22-008, 22-017 and 22-
018. Full analysis for the remaining samples is recommended, however
as reported in the body of the report, only intervals with visual graphite
were sampled, as a result, intervals above and below of the reported high
REE (or REO) results were not sampled and samples from the interval
shave been destroyed. Re-drilling of the area is required to better
understand the extent of the mineralisation being reported.

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Sample spacing is wide and not at a distribution that would allow
estimation of a Mineral Resource.

No Compositing has been undertaken.
Orientation

geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures
and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.

Very limited sampling for REE has been undertaken. Given the aircore
holes are vertical and unsurveyed and the sampling of aa assumed sub
horizontal clay horizion drill orientation would not have resulted in any
sample bias.

There is no known relationship between drill orientation and interval width
at this stage.
Sample

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

It is not known what sample security procedures Licograph had in place
for the samples.
Audits or

exploration has been undertaken for REE over the project.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The Hyden Project area is located in the Western Gneiss Terrane of the
southwest Yilgarn Province. The tenements are covered by Palaeozoic,
Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments that unconformably overlie or are faulted
against Precambrian sequences of schists, gneisses, granites and sediments.
The tenements cover a northerly striking aeromagnetic anomaly that appears to
be related to a BIF/ultramafic sequence which is offset to the east in the central
part of E70/5003 by a later eastwest Proterozoic dolerite dyke.

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.

Drilling data is included for all holes in Table 1 in the body of the report.
Additionally a map of all Licograph drilling is incorporated. However only three
samples are being reported one single metre interval from each of holes 22-
008, 22-107 and 22-018. As mentioned in the body of the report, additional
re-drilling and full sampling of the holes in the area is needed to assess the
extent and significance of the mineralization being reported.
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.

Only three single individual intervals are being reported (see Table 2 in the
body of the report)
• No metal equivalents are reported, however elemental assay results have been
converted via industry standard factors as outlined in Section 1 of this JORC
table 1 above.

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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

Very limited sampling for REE has been undertaken (three samples). Given the
aircore holes are vertical and unsurveyed and the sampling of aa assumed sub
horizontal clay horizion drill orientation would not have resulted in any sample
bias.

There is no known relationship between drill orientation and interval width at this
stage. Only single metre downhole results are reported. The true width of the
mineralisation is unknown at this stage.
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.

Appropriate plans are included in the body of the 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.

Only samples with appropriate laboratory analysis for REE are being reported.
Additional sampling is planned of existing samples
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics;
potential
deleterious
or
contaminating substances.

The regional DMIRS geophysical datasets have been assessed for the region
and the 1VD bouguer Gravity image from the southwest Yilgarn GSWA survey
highlights a significant gravity anomaly east of the high grade REE
mineralization. Relevant diagrams are incorporated into the body of the report
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.

As mentioned in the body of the report, additional drilling has been planned
and permitted on the project. It is expected that as soon as the farmer has
harvested the crop from the paddock of interest, drilling of at least 10 holes to
validate the high grade REE results will be undertaken. Additionally detailed
gravity and magnetic surveys are currently being planned to understand the
significance and relationship of the gravity anomaly to the east of the
significantREE mineralisation.
