ASX Release

MARBLE BAR DRILLING UPDATE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Results and analysis of MinRex’s 2022 maiden reconnaissance Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling program on its Marble Bar and Tambourah North Projects.

  • The drilling campaign was completed at the end of December 2022 across the Talga-Moolyella, Tambourah and Sisters Projects.

  • Drilling at all three projects intersected lithium mineralisation at low, sub-economic grades: -

  • Talga Moolyella Multiple thick Pegmatite was intersected in several drillholes in the western portion of the Project. Notable assay results include:

  • MBRC028 was 6m @ 0.13% Li2O from 14m-20m.

  • o MBRC053 was 2m @ 0.12% Li20 from 6m-8m. o MBRC030 was 2m @ 0.12% Li2O from 17-19m.

  • Tambourah North

Multiple Pegmatites were intersected in all 9 drillholes with the thickest intersection MBRC060 of 32m from 0m to 32m (see Figure 2).

Notable assay results to date from:

  • MBRC058 was 4m @ 0.11% Li2O from 118m to 122m.

  • o MBRC060 was 10m @ 0.13% Li2O from 77m to 87m.

  • Further exploration including geophysics and mapping are required to delineate potential economic grade lithium bearing pegmatites. MinRex will engage new geophysical technology and high-level structural mapping over anomalous drilling results to identify mineralization at depth and pegmatites undercover to determine new targets within and outside of the reconnaissance drilling areas for Sisters and Talga and Tambourah.

MinRex Resources Limited ( ASX: MRR ) (“ MinRex ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce the completion and assay results from our stage 1 reconnaissance maiden RC drilling programs at the Sisters, Talga-Moolyella, and Tambourah North Lithium Projects.

MinRex Managing Director and CEO Mr George Karageorge commented;

“The MinRex team has successfully completed our maiden drill program at Marble Bar in less than 6 months at the end of 2022 with notable results requiring follow up investigation on pegmatites at surface and undercover. The drilling programs to date only cover minimal areas over the 5 key lithium projects and further targets over the highly anomalous outcropping pegmatites and pegmatites undercover and improved our understanding on the controls on mineralisation.

Minrex will also deploy new geophysical technology such as Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) to map pegmatites below cover and over exiting reconnaissance drillholes and along strike creating more targets for upcoming drilling programs on a priority campaign basis”.

Figure 1 - Tambourah North RC Drilling

Tambourah North Lithium Project

Rock chip sampling and mapping programs that commenced in April-May 2022 yielded encouraging results. In the central area of the tenement a pegmatite containing fine-grained spodumene was noted to be hosted within the Apex Basalt.

Rock chip samples returned 2.56% Li2O, 115 ppm Cs and 40 ppm Ta (MRR028) and 1.91% Li2O, 518 ppm Cs, 370 ppm Ta (MRR040) as reported to the ASX in April 2022.

The 2022 December drilling program targeted the lithium rock chip sample results in a small area in the central part of the Project.

The RC drilling program was undertaken with a total of 9 drillholes for 1,159m completed at the end of December 2022 ( see Figure 1 ).

Thick intersections of pegmatites were successfully drilled with all 9 drillholes intersecting pegmatites from various intervals.

The best intersection from drillhole MBRC060 had a 32m intersection from surface (0-32m), in coarse-grained to finegrained quartz-feldspar-mica rich pegmatite.

Notable Intersections Include (see Table 1 and Table 2):

  • MBRC060 was 10m @ 0.13% Li2O from 77m to 87m.

  • MBRC058 was 4m @ 0.11% Li2O from 118m to 122m.

The Southern portion of the tenement was mapped and sampled in May 2022 and the occurrence of lithium-bearing minerals is dominated by lepidolite-rich pegmatites in the Petroglyph Gneiss.

ASX Code: MRR

The notable rock chip sample results reported to the ASX in September 2022 were MRR050: 0.78% Li2O and 40 ppm; MRR051 - 1.01% Li2O and 94 ppm Ta; MRR052 - 1.48% Li2O and 63ppm Ta; and MRR053 - 1.49% Li2O and 181 ppm Ta.

The Southern area has approval for drilling by the Western Australian Government Regulator DIMRS, however, further approval by the Native Title Owners and a heritage survey is a prerequisite to demarcate areas of drilling before a proposed drilling program can meet final approval.

Additional analysis including petrology is required to determine whether the mineralised lithium in the assay results is muscovite, lepidolite or very fine grained acicular spodumene crystal.

Figure 2 - Talga Project RC Drilling

Talga Lithium Project

The RC drilling program over the Talga Lithium Project (formerly Moolyella) comprised of a total of 39 shallow, vertical drillholes for 2,825m that was completed December 2022.

The drilling targeted highly elevated soil anomalies containing up to 447 ppm lithium as reported to the ASX in November 2022.

A total of six small target areas were drill tested over the historical soil samples and mapped pegmatites accounting for less than approximately 11% coverage over the tenement area (see Figure 2).

Multiple intersections of pegmatite were successfully drilled in over 70% of the drillholes with the best intersection being from MBRC047, which had multiple intersections of pegmatite, albeit without lithium mineralisation, with 14m from surface, 5m from 25m and 4m from 46m (see Table 1 and refer to the ASX Announcement October 2022).

The RC drill chips identified various pegmatite composition with mineralogy including plagioclase-orthoclase feldspars, muscovite-biotite, garnet, tourmaline beryl and rose quartz.

Additional analysis including petrology is required to determine whether the mineralised lithium in the assay results is muscovite, lepidolite or very fine grained acicular spodumene.

ASX Code: MRR

Notable Intersections Include (see Table 1 and Table 2):

  • MBRC028 was 6m @ 0.13% Li2O from 14m-20m.

  • MBRC030 was 2m @ 0.12% Li2O from 17-19m.

  • MBRC053 was 2m @ 0.12% Li20 from 6m-8m.

The distance along strike between drillholes MBRC028, MBRC030 and MBRC053 is approximately 850m. The pegmatites as mapped in 2022 are stacked and in sheets across strike from east to west.

The pegmatite may extend at depth well below the shallow drilling (average hole depth approximately 70m) and surface pegmatite sheets could be part of a larger pegmatite source at depth.

The pegmatite below the current drilling may also host higher-grade lithium, tin, and tantalum mineralisation within thicker zones.

Hence the Company will follow up on the results to date with additional dill targets to infill and extend drilling between the drillholes chasing continuity along strike and mineralisation that remains open between the area yet to drilled (see Figure 2). Approximately 70% of the northern portion of the tenement remains completely untested by surface geochemistry or geological mapping. Ground exploration activities will concentrate in the northern portion of the project area with further heritage surveys are planned for 2023.

Figure 3 - Sisters Project - RC Drilling

Sisters Lithium Project

Drilling of 14 RC drillholes for a total of 2,350m was completed in October 2022 (see Figure 3).

The drilling targeted the Southern Pegmatites that were mapped and sampled in April and May 2022 with high-grade lithium results reporting from surface rock chip sampling including MRR024B: 1.59% Li2O (refer to the ASX Announcement April 2022).

Multiple thick pegmatites were intersected in 8 of the 14 RC drillholes with the best multiple intersections from MBRC014: 4m from 26m, 14m from 65m, 8m from 167m and 7m from 199m as reported in the September 2022 Quarterly Activity Report.

The drill results at Sisters were less than satisfactory, however, the company will deploy new geophysical technology including Deep Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) and Ambient Noise Tomography to identify pegmatites and determine new targets within and outside of the reconnaissance drilling areas for Sisters, Talga and Tambourah Projects.

The elevated soil lithium-tin- tantalum anomalies from work undertaken by BCI Minerals Limited in 2017 covers a much greater area than the reconnaissance RC drilling footprint and target generation remains a work in progress.

JORC Code 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 (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.
A total of 9 angled reverse circulation (RC) drill holes were completed for 1,159m
over the Tambourah North Project.
Samples were collected from the cuttings returned from the RC drilling at intervals
of 1m for all metres drilled. The 1m samples were collected directly from the cone
splitter beneath the cyclone on the drilling rig. Samples nominally weighed
between 2kg and 5kg and averaged around 3kg.
Duplicates were collected at a rate of every 50 samples and standards, or CRM
(Certified Reference Materials) were also submitted at the rate of every 50 samples
for assay. Industry standard practices were used to ensure sample representivity.
Intervals were geologically logged by a geologist at the same time as the drilling
was undertaken.
Nagrom Laboratories in Perth applied industry standard QA-QC for sample
preparation and appropriate instrument calibration.
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).
Strike Drilling used a X350 track-mounted RC drill rig using a 5.5” face sampling
hammer with and industry standard cyclone and cone splitter to complete the
program.
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.
All one metre intervals were logged, sample recoveries were estimated as a % and
the condition of the sample (dry or wet) were recorded by the geologist.
It was estimated by the geologist that the sample recovery was good for most of
the samples collected and submitted for analysis with little to no groundwater
encountered.
Ingeneral,it is considered that the recoveries weregood as observed bythe

consistency of the duplicate samples collected from the drill rig.
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.
All RC drilling is qualitatively and quantitatively logged for geological attributes in
their entirety including as appropriate major & minor lithologies, alteration and
weathering from the start to end of the hole.
The Project area is currently classified as at early stage of exploration and no
Mineral Resource estimation is applicable.
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.
All RC holes were sampled and split at 1 metre intervals using a cone splitter
beneath the cyclone to produce a sample between 2kg and 5kg for submission to
Nagrom Labs in Perth.
A nominal one in fifty of all samples are analysed in duplicate. In addition, re-splits
if required, are also analysed to determine the precision of the sample
preparation and analytical procedures.
The sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material been sampled.
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.
Approx. 4% of submitted samples are in the form of either standards (CRM) and
duplicates and were submitted with the normal batches of samples to Nagrom
Laboratories Perth.
A statistical review of the duplicates and CRM data by independent database
management firm Rock Solid has not identified any bias with the sampling or
assays.
All samples were submitted for analysis to Nagrom Laboratories in Perth.
Geophysical Tools: Not Applicable
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.
All field data was collected then transferred into a computer database stored by
independent consultants Rock Solid.
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 thegrid system used.
All drill holes collars were picked up using a hand-held Garmin GPS with an
accuracy of +/-5m.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control. An Axis North Seeking gyro was used multi-shot mode to collect at 20m intervals
downhole data.
The datum for data is GDA94, Zone 50.
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 spacings and distribution at this stage is not considered adequate for
estimation of a Mineral Resource.
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.
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.
All RC drill holes were angled at between approximately -54 degrees to -62 degrees
(refer Table 1).
Holes MBRC055-MBRC057 and MBRC059 were drilled nominally towards the
northwest to intersect the interpreted dip and strike of the pegmatites as close as
possible at right angles to estimate their true width.
Holes MBRC058 and MBRC060-MBRC063 were drilled oblique to what is
interpreted to be the dip and strike of the pegmatites and the down-hole
intersections may not reflect their true width.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were stored on site prior to being transported to the laboratory for
analysis by reputable freight company. The sample pulps are stored at the either
the laboratory or a secure Company location.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Approximately 20% of the sample pulps assayed by Nagrom were sent to ALS Perth
for check analysis. A review and comparison of results showed very correlation
between the two laboratories (>95%).
No other adjustment, audits or reviews have been undertaken.

Exploration done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Limited exploration has been completed over the Project. No ground geophysics or
drilling has been undertaken. Exploration has been limited to geological mapping and
surface geochemistry (rock chip and soils).
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. The project lies in a pegmatite field hosted within the Apex Basalt near the contact
with Petroglyph Gneiss.
The prospective area for the Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type pegmatites has
been traced over an area of around 200m by 450m. It comprises several individual
pegmatites that range in surface outcrop width from 1m up to 30m. The pegmatites
strike at around 050 degrees and are interpreted to dip moderate to steeply (50-70
degrees) to the southeast.
The lithium appears to be associated with fine micas and in some instances
spodumene, although the latter was not observed in the drilling program.
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

drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o

notable assay results/intervals and should not be considered a proxy for significant
intercepts.
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 true width and geometry of the intercepts is not well understood as these are
first-pass exploration drilling results and drill spacing is insufficient.
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.
Refer Announcement.
A cross -section has not been included as the geological controls on the
mineralisation are not sufficient to draw meaningful relationship on geometry.
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.
N/A
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.
There is no other substantive data / information pertaining to these drilling intercepts
to report.
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.
Future work program will involve looking at the potential for LCT pegmatites
elsewhere on the tenement.
