OUTSTANDING LITHIUM ASSAYS AT MINREX TAMBOURAH NORTH LITHIUM PROJECT, EAST PILBARA

RC Drilling Planning Currently Underway with Rapid Progress on the Granting of Marble Bar Projects

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Large pegmatites hosting visible Spodumene and Lepidolite have been identified over the Tambourah North Project area.

  • Rock chip assays confirmed lithium-tantalum mineralisation:

  • 2.56% Li2O, 1.59% Li, 105 ppm Cs, 80 ppm Ta, 40 ppm Nb, 100 ppm Sn, 1,293 ppm Rb.

  • 1.91% Li2O, 1.19% Li, 518 ppm Cs, 370 ppm Ta, 150 ppm Nb, 2,542 ppm Rb.

  • Tambourah North Project hosts large, stacked pegmatites over 1.5km length by 150m in width.

  • Tambourah North pegmatites stacked at surface in goldilocks zone in the Granite-Greenstone of the Pilbara Supergroup and have visible coarse and fine grained Spodumene & Lepidolites with zoning along strike and across strike.

  • The sampled Ta-Nb enriched pegmatites are considered to be part of zoned LCT pegmatite swarms with exploration ongoing to identify more extensive lithium-rich pegmatites.

  • The potassic geophysical survey over Haystack Well potentially has outlined buried pegmatites which could explain the source of strongly elevated surface lithium results.

  • Encouraging indicators for LCT pegmatite over Shaw River based on anomalous Rubidium (710 ppm Rb) and Tin (120 ppm Sn) assay results.

  • The identification of extensive untested zones over Haystack Well Project confirmed anomalous tin-tantalum-rubidium results shows strong indicator of localised LCT pegmatites.

  • Advancing Heritage Agreement and Heritage Surveys over Marble Bar Lithium Projects adjacent to the Global Lithium Resources Archer Deposit (ASX:GL1 hosting 10.1Mt @ 1.0% Li).

  • Ian Shackleton (ex-Global Lithium Resources Archer Deposit founding geologist) appointed as Exploration Manager.

MinRex Resources Limited ( ASX: MRR ) (“ MinRex ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce the results from its recent field program the Company’s Lithium Projects in the East Pilbara of WA. In February 2022, MinRex conducted a first pass helicopter reconnaissance program over the new acquired Lithium-Tin-Tantalum Projects, which involved rock chip sampling of the identified pegmatites on the ground. Assay results received have validated previously reported lithium mineralisation from the previous project owners through the observation of spodumene and lepidolite mineralisation.

MinRex Resources Limited Managing Director Mr Karageorge commented:

“We are delighted to have confirmation of the high-grade lithium identified from the extensive spodumene hosted outcropping pegmatites over the Tambourah North Project areas. The high-grade lithium-tantalum-caesium-rubidium rock chip assay results indicates enrichment of fertile pegmatite field. These rich spodumene stacked pegmatites have extensive width, strike and zonation which have all the hallmarks of a potential Pilgangoora Lithium Deposit. MinRex is

currently working on the first RC drill program to test the extensive stacked pegmatites over its project areas with a view of signing a drilling contractor to undertake drilling over the projects imminently.”

Tambourah North Lithium Project

Tambourah is located approximately 200 km south southeast of Port Hedland and 80km southwest of Marble Bar within the Pilbara Mineral Field. Access is via the Great Northern Highway or the Marble Bar – Port Hedland Road and the connecting Hillside Woodstock Road.

During the reconnaissance, a series of stacked pegmatites hosting spodumene striking 330[0] over 1 km with approximately 50m in width were located within the greenstone belt. Spodumene rich pegmatites were identified in the northern portion of the tenement within the Apex Basalt greenstone belt. In conjunction, acicular-lepidolite-albitemuscovite rich pegmatites were located on the contact zone between the Petroglyph Gneiss (granite lithology) and Apex Basalt greenstone belt in the southern area.

Haystack Well Lithium Project Area

The tenement is located 170km north of Newman, and 35km south of Nullagine, accessed via Marble Bar Rd. The project includes historic tantalum alluvial workings. Based on the limited rock chip samples collected, anomalous tintantalum-rubidium shows strong indicator of localised LCT pegmatites. The Twin Wells Alluvial Prospect showed strong extensive stacked swarms pegmatites striking within a southerly direction over 650 metres. The potassic geophysical survey over Haystack Well potentially has outlined buried pegmatites which could explain the source of strongly elevated lithium in the soil samples anomalies (soils vary from 200 ppm to 589 ppm Li).

Based on the soil and most recent rock chip sampling, there is evidence of granite fractionation based on the enrichment of pathfinder elements such as 23 ppm Ta, 14 ppm Be, 45 ppm Nb and 50 ppm Cs within soils. Rock chip sample MRR029 and MRR030 yielded 40 ppm Ta, 90 -150 ppm Li, 20 ppm Sn, 1,257 - 2,355 ppm Rb with 45 - 597 ppm Cs. The trace elements analysis indicates that the granite is zoned anomalous in tin-beryllium-niobium grading to lithium and caesium in the surrounding zone - a typical zonation pattern for lithium pegmatites

The two lithium anomalies are greater than 1.5km long are situated in the pegmatitic aureole surrounding the granite and are open in all directions and follows the Goldilocks Zone perfectly. There is over 40km of Goldilocks zone untested by surface geochemistry and drilling. The soil anomalies equate to ~2.9km of contact strike-length, yet the remaining ~20km of granite aureole zone is yet to be adequately sampled.

Coondina Project

The Coondina Project (E45/4266) contains an abundant of late-stage pegmatites swarms which principally host the tin/tantalum mineralisation. Historically, 1,770.71t of tin concentrate and 84.33t of tantalite concentration was produced on site. No lithium exploration conducted over these pegmatites. The Coondina Project has a several historic non-JORC 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

Shaw River Project

The Shaw River Project is part of the Shaw River Tin Field. The tin field are 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. They are the source for widespread alluvial and eluvial cassiterite-tantalite concentrations

Up until 1975, the Shaw River tin field produced 6,585t of tin and 548t of tantalite concentrates (containing 20.2t of Ta2O5), with the greatest production from alluvial placer deposits. Historical heavy stream sediment sampling has outlined very high-grade Sn-Ta mineralised zones (up to 42.2% tin and 3.41% tantalum ) within extensive pegmatite occurrences (ASX Announcement 24[th] November 2021). The Pegmatites are the sole primary source of the tin and tantalum mineralisation.

The rock chip assays results highlighted very encouraging indicators for LCT pegmatite based on anomalous Lithium (up to 120 ppm), Rubidium (high of 710 ppm Rb), Caesium (up to 46 ppm) and Tin (max 120 ppm Sn) assay results. Further detailed ground geochemical surveys will be undertaken then followed up by RC drilling.

MinRex has applied for a PoW with WA Mines Department to commencing drilling over the historical workings outlined as part first phase of drilling. Potential for economic recovery of tin/tantalum by the reworking of old tin–tantalum tailings dumps within the project are a possibility with further investigations.

Appendix 2

– JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1 report

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 (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.
27 Rock Chip samples collected varied in weight from 1kg up
to 3 kg with sampling selected based on visual mineralisation
or host rock potential within the indicative target
mineralogy.
All samples will be submitted to Nagrom Labs Pty Ltd in Perth
using standard industry assay methods for pegmatite
analysis.
All sample information, including lithological descriptions
and GPS coordinates were recorded during the sample
location.
Individual samples were bagged in calcio bags and sent to
Nagrom, Perth for aqua regia XRF102 and ICP_MS.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg 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).
N/A – No drilling was undertaken
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
N/A – No drilling was undertaken
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
N/A – No drilling was undertaken.
The Project areas is currently classified as early stage of
exploration and no Mineral Resource estimation is appliable
Some sample photos have been included along with
outcropping pegmatites.

Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core 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 thegrain size of the material being sampled.
The rock chip samples were collected from outcrop in the
field.
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.
Nagrom used internal 2 duplicates, 4 repeats and 4 standards
as part of the quality control.
The entire samples were dried, crushed and pulverised to 85%
passing <75 um. The rocks were analysed for the full suite of
elements including XRF102 (%) SiO2, Fe2O3, SO3, CaO, K2O,
BaO, TiO2, with Li, Ta, Nb, Sn, Pb and Cs completed ICPMS
(ICP004 method).
Acceptable levels of accuracy from these rock chips have been
established.
Verification of sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
The verification of significant intersections has been reviewed
by independent consultant from Odessa Resources Pty Ltd
No adjustment to assay data
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

All rock chip locations were recorded with a handheld GPS
with +/- 5m accuracy
GDA94, Zone 50 and 51 was used
Data spacing and distribution 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.
Data spacing and distribution was dependant on the
identification of pegmatite dykes.
The locations of the samples are provided in Appendix 1.
There is insufficient data to determine any economic
parameters or mineral resources.
Orientation of data in relation
to 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.
Not Applicable
ASX Code: MRR ASX Code: MRR
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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. MinRex staff delivered all the samples from the field
directlyto Nagrom Labs for analysis.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits or reviews have been undertaken

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.
All Project areas are 100% held by MinRex Resources Ltd.
Heritage agreements will be executed with the Native Title
party during the course of the year.
Exploration done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
Very little lithium exploration has been undertaken over
these project areas. No ground geophysics and very little
geological mapping has been historically completed.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. The deposit types been explored includes the Archer Lithium
Deposit which includes LCT Pegmatites.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
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 detractfrom the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
N/A no drilling undertaken
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 high-grade cuts have been applied or any aggregation
methods have been applied
No usage of metal equivalent has been used

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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’). _
Samples are rock chips taken from surface and are not
representative of the entire thickness of the pegmatite units
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.
All maps have been inserted within the announcement.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
Not applicable
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.
Not applicable
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.
