De Punt resource and reserve drilling has been fully completed and reflects a Use of Funds[7] from the proceeds of the most recent Rights Issue. The Company expects to deliver a Maiden JORC Mineral Resource for the De Punt prospect in June 2023 and continue to progress all activities required to develop the deposit as soon as possible.
To provide context, average VHM (%) grade for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 for the Northern Beaches and Tormin Beaches were 10.5% VHM and 9.1% VHM respectively. The Updated Ore Reserve[8] estimate for the Western Strandline of 60.3 million tonnes was at 3.7% VHM (14.7% THM). Drillings results above are significantly higher than current beach and Inland reserve material. 149 of the 169 holes completed (88%) have significant intercepts, that being intercepts over 5% VHM.
Interim Chief Executive Officer Adam Bick commented: “MRC remains exceedingly pleased with the results seen to date in the initial De Punt drilling program. These spectacular results clearly indicate the existence of a large, high grade, southern extension to the Western Strandline. MRC will use these results to deliver a Maiden JORC

Mineral Resource that is expected to materially extend the life of mine of the Tormin asset beyond the recently upgraded[8] Geelwal Inland Strands resource and reserves”.
Background
In July 2022,MSR was granted Prospecting Right 10240PR to explore the Inland Strands area, covering 4,495 hectares. This prospecting area is 13km long and adjacent to the existing mining operations.
In August 2022 an airborne magnetic and radiometric (“AMR”) survey was conducted over the De Punt Prospecting Right[9] with two main linear magnetic trends identified within the tenement; the Western linear trend which is 13km long and the Eastern linear trend with an aggregate length of 8km (see Figure 2). Geologically, these magnetic trends appear to be a continuation of palaeo-marine strandlines identified at Geelwal Karoo, the Western Strandline (35-40m above mean sea level), and an Eastern Strandline (~86m above mean sea level). Geelwal Karoo strandlines reported a total of 212.7Mt Mineral Resources and 60.3Mt Ore Reserves[10] with mining of the Western Strandline having commenced in year 2020.

Locally referred to as ‘Inland Strandlines’, these multiple buried palaeo-strandlines run semi-parallel to the coastline at Tormin’s Geelwal Karoo and De Punt tenements (Figure 2). At De Punt, seven major drilling targets (identified along strong magnetic anomalies) have been identified over the strike of the Western and Eastern Strandlines extensions, covering an area of approximately 700 hectares.
Mineralogically and lithologically, the strandlines are a concentration of high-grade Valuable Heavy Minerals (“VHM”) with horizons overlying the strandlines in the form of an aeolian facies (orange feldspathic sand), erosional surface facies (dorbank, silcrete, calcrete) and red aeolian sands deflation zones that have also been confirmed to be mineralised. VHM comprises ilmenite, zircon, rutile, magnetite and garnet, which are sold as concentrates.
The first phase of the resource drilling at de Punt (~6,000 metres) commenced in October 2022 and targeted mainly the Western geophysical aeromagnetic anomaly. Additional identified anomalies to the east have not been drilled at this stage. Future drilling programs will include drill holes targeting these anomalies.

Resource Definition Drilling
The drilling program was concentrated on defining resources along the Western Strandline with a total of 169 drill holes (165 within the identified Western strandline geophysical anomaly) drilled for 6,018m, in fence lines 250m apart on 25m hole spacings in the southern portion and 500m apart on 25m hole spacing in the northern portion of the prospecting area.

The exploration holes drilled in fence lines as shown in Figure 3 (Line DP-L07) and are located as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 below. All one metre drillhole samples were dried, weighed, de-slimed (removal of -45 micron fraction) and screened (+2mm oversize) before assaying at the Tormin laboratory by XRD machines (the Rietveld method after HLS) and at external laboratories for QA/QC. The Company expects to release a maiden JORC Mineral Resource of the De Punt Inland Strands in Q2-2023.
The drilling program was undertaken using a truck mounted air core drilling rig as noted in Appendix 2. Due to the size of the drill rig used, including the air compressor, drilling on occasion proved difficult at depth where gravels and bedrock were encountered. This resulted in 15 of the drill holes with returned assays being terminated in significant mineralisation (greater than 20% VHM). This potential issue will be further assessed and addressed in future drilling programs.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sampling over 1m down-the-hole intervals as determined by 1m marks on the rig mast. Drill samples were riffle split into approximately 3kg samples to be assayed. Technicians undertaking the splitting are supervised by mine site geologist to ensure sampling quality. Duplicate samples were riffled for the Tormin mine laboratory external QA/QC checks. |
| 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 (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
All sample analyses were undertaken by the Tormin mine laboratory. The mine owns and operates a state of the art heavy liquid separation lab with Panalytical XRD machines. All grades reported are from XRD results on heavy liquid sink. Industrial laboratory XRF machines (Panalytical Epsilon 3 ED) are used by Tormin mine as a grade verification check on the XRD zircon content. The Tormin mine laboratory completed its own internal QA/QC checks that include CRMs, duplicates and blanks. External sampling checks (one out of every 20 samples) have been done by XRD Analytical and Consulting in Pretoria. |

Apart from the mid-Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary (Paleogene) sediments along the coast, numerous small fossiliferous, marine, and terrestrial deposits of Neogene age outcrop along the coastal zone. The onshore mineral sands are marine palaeo-terraces “Inland Strands”, aeolian sands and fluvial sediments. These targets were formed during Miocene, Pliocene, and Quaternary/Pleistocene coastal transgression (sea move inland) and regression cycles. |

| Drillhole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes: Easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole 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 clearly explain why this is the case. |
A summary of the 3,041m of aircore drilling (5,839m sampled in total for 6,018m total drilled) is reflected in the text of this release. The minimum hole length is 18m, maximum 63m, average depth of drilling is 35.6 metres and the median is 37m. East collar ranges – 227,101.9mE to 233,168.9mE. North collar ranges – 6,490,923.4mN to 6,500,835.5mN. Azimuth ranges/dip ranges – vertical drilling. |
| 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 weighting or cutting of HM values, other than averaging of grades intersected were reported. As all samples are 1 metre in length, no length weighting is required in averaging grades. |

| 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 down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
The strandline mineralisation is sub- horizon in nature and the aircore drilling intercepts are vertical. Thickness of intercept reported is therefore true thickness of the 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 drillhole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Maps, sections, and plan view are provided in this 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. |
Intersection with grades above 10% or above 5% VHM have been reported in this release to indicate the high-grade strandline zones. |
| 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. |
Historical drill data is not reported as it is classified as historical foreign estimates that are non-JORC compliant. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg 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. |
Additional drilling activities to be planned upon receipt of all assay data and Maiden JORC Mineral Resource. Maiden JORC Mineral Resources of De Punt will be released in June quarter 2023. |
