The acquisition represents a significant next step in MinRex’s tenement acquisition plan to become an emergent lithium explorer with high-quality assets within a 70km radius of world-class Lithium and Tantalum producers Pilbara Minerals (ASX: PLS) Pilgangoora and Mineral Resources (ASX:MRL) Wodgina. The new Tambourah North, Tambourah Creek, Shaw River, Coondina and Soanesville projects supplement and offer fantastic synergies to the Moolyella, Coondina East, Coondinia South and Haystack Well lithium projects to be acquired by MinRex, as announced on 17 November 2021, and MinRex’s existing White Springs lithium project.

MinRex Resources Limited Chief Executive Officer Mr Kastellorizos commented:

“The MinRex team, which includes Director George Karageorge, who is one of the founding geologists of the Pilbara Minerals owned Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum deposits, are delighted with the success of the Company’s strategy to acquire further and more highly prospective ground in the East Pilbara World Class Mineral Field. Geological evidence supports all project areas to host significant lithium bearing pegmatites based on recent rock chip assaying results and the extensive historical tin/tantalum mining over extensive pegmatites. Our highly experience team will be ready for drill testing once the detail geological mapping/sampling has been completed. Further work will commence immediately on the re-interpretation of airborne magnetic/potassic data to locate the pegmatite on the ground but also defined trends and structures which appear to control the Li-Sn-Ta mineralisation”.

Tambourah North Project (E45/4953)

In 2013 Altura Mining Limited identified outcropping lithium mineralisation hosted within pegmatites. Initial investigation of the licence for rare metal mineralisation suggests that lithium is present as lepidolite in pegmatites located along the granite-greenstone margin. Three (3) rock chip samples were collected over the outcropping pegmatites. All samples display high lithium content recording up to 1.38% Li2O (lies just outside the eastern boundary of E45/4953) and the remaining samples containing 0.22% and 0.25% Li2O lie within E45/4953.

MinRex’s review of historical exploration indicates the tenement is prospective for pegmatite-hosted mineralisation close to the granite-greenstone contact. Limited evaluation of exposed and outcropping pegmatitic strongly suggests additional field work is warranted to identify the continuity or presence of lithium mineralisation.

In 2019 Abeh conducted a brief reconnaissance program over Tambourah North Project area with one rock chip sample collected. The assay results were significant as the pegmatite hosting spodumene and lepidolite hosted within the greenstone belt, returned values of up to 2.02% lithium oxide (LiO2) 1.75% rubidium (Rb) and 1,276 ppm caesium (Cs). The sample was collected on the northern margin of the current exploration licence area.

Shaw River Project (E45/4601)

The Shaw River Project (E45/4601) is part of the Shaw River Tin Field located within the Shaw Batholith, a complex structural dome comprising multiple granitoid intrusions. Associated with the younger granitoids are swarms of fractionated pegmatite and pegmatite-aplite sills. The pegmatites are quartz-K-feldspar rich, with albite, muscovite/biotite, and accessory spessartine, cassiterite, zinnwaldite, lepidolite, fluorite, tantalite, green muscovite and magnetite. The source for widespread alluvial and eluvial cassiterite-tantalite concentrations.

A feasibility study completed by Greenbushes Ltd in 1987 over the current tenure of Shaw River and the surrounding other historical tin/tantalum areas. In 1994, Mt Edon Gold Mines (Australia) Ltd conducted an extensive exploration activity including bulk stream sediment sampling program over the Cooglegoong, Elsey and the Five Mile areas (Five Mile area is held within the current Shaw River Project). The assays highlight high-grade Tin and Tantalum mineralisation (see Table 5).

No lithium exploration was conducted. Further work is required over the pegmatite stockworks and rich migmatites to determine the likelihood economic resources of lithium, tantalum, tin, and the yttrium group minerals.

Coondina Project (E45/4266)

The Coondina Project (E45/4266) has a historic Tin/Tantalum mineral resource located on the tenement. A feasibility study of the historic resource was completed by Greenbushes Tin Ltd in 1987 over the current tenure of Coondina and the surrounding other historical tin/tantalum areas. The area was determined to be tin rich with considerable scope for increasing the historic mineral reserve with further auger drilling. No sampling for lithium has been conducted.

Soanesville West Project (E45/5071), Soanesville South Project (E45/4455) & Soanesville Central Project (E45/3926)

Very little historical exploration work has been conducted over Soanesville West Project (E45/5071), Soanesville South Project (E45/4455) & Soanesville Central Project (E45/3926) project areas with only minor exploration conducted by PacMinex Pty Ltd in 1975.

The limited exploration work included sampling around the Magnifique Gold Mine with high grade gold assays returning from the old tailings site and one rock chip sample near the Magnifique shaft. The gold assays vary from 3.9g/t to 16g/t Au with silver values ranging from 4g/t Ag to 10g/t Ag. Anomalous lead values range from 0.14% to 0.53% Pb.

The 16g/t Au rock chip was collected from a fresh basic volcanic rock from dump surface around the shaft. It was noted the sulphides were located from the pre-crushed dump site with visible galena (lead), arsenopyrite, pyrite and stibnite with no further work was conducted.

(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.

presence of encouraging amounts of gold...in quartz samples from the pre-

Open File Western Australia Report No. A99843: The Tambourah area is host
to small hard rock gold deposits hosted by quartz veins and shear deposits
and derived alluvial accumulations. Field observations suggest these deposit
styles do not demonstrate immediate potential for gold mineralisation on
E45/2346. Current exploration focussed on rare metal mineralisation
associated with pegmatite outcrops. Several rock chip samples of exposed
lithium mineralisation were collected and evaluated for their rare metal
content. Conclusions & Recommendations: Earlier exploration activities at
Tambourah have been unable to identify significant gold and base metal
mineralisation, however, evidence of outcropping lithium mineralisation was
identified. Ongoing exploration will need to employ a combination of
geological, geochemical and geophysical studies to aid in the identification of
deep or buried orebodies
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Exploration is targeting lithium bearing pegmatites in the aureoles of
granites. This part of the Pilbara contains multiple Archean granites intruding
mafic volcanics and sediments. Pegmatites are emplaced from extrusion of
the granites into the surrounding country rock. This work is looking for
comparable targets to the Pilgangoora and Wodgina styles of mineralization.

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.
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.
NA
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’).
NA
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.

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.
All results are presented in the Figures and Tables in the body of report.
