HIGHLIGHTS
-
MinRex secures highly prospective Lithium-Tin-Tantalum-Rare Earth Projects in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia, representing a significant next step in MinRex’s plan to become an emergent lithium explorer with high-quality assets surrounding world-class Lithium and Tantalum producers Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) Pilgangoora, Mineral Resources (ASX:MRL) Wodgina and Global Lithium (ASX:GL1).
-
MinRex completes first pass reconnaissance on new East Pilbara Projects with 18 samples collected and extensive outcropping pegmatites delineated. Samples are with Laboratories for processing, with assays expected in 6 weeks.
-
Tambourah North Lithium Project (E45/4953) has outlined lithium mineralisation hosted in pegmatites within significant with values from 0.22% to up 2.02% lithium oxide, 1.75% rubidium and 1,276 ppm caesium.
-
Tambourah Creek Project (E45/4275) hosting lithium mineralisation within pegmatites with assay values of 0.74% lithium oxide.
-
Shaw River Lithium Project (E45/4601) 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. Up until 1975, the Shaw River tin field produced 6,585 t of tin and 548 t of tantalite concentrates (containing 20.2 t of Ta2O5).
-
MinRex’s maiden first pass drill program over the Queenslander Prospect has intersected thick highgrade gold mineralisation including 23m @ 5.08g/t Au. Significant drill assays include MQRC2 – 10m @ 4.74g/t Au from 69m and MQRC7 – 23m @ 5.08g/t Au from 64m
-
The Company remains well funded with $4.28 million in cash at the end of the quarter.
MinRex Resources Limited (ASX: MRR) (“ MinRex” or “ the Company ”) is pleased provide the following report on its activities during the December 2021 quarter. The Company’s primary focus was the lithium-tin-tantalum-rare earth project acquisitions in the East Pilbara of Western Australia and the completion of the RC drilling campaign over the Queenslander Gold Project within the Sofala Gold Project in New South Wales.
Western Australia
During the quarter, a project package comprising 8 exploration licences, 5 exploration licence applications and mineral rights to battery metals over an additional 3 exploration licences and 2 exploration licence applications, with a total project area of 890km[2] ,was secured by the MinRex. The projects vary in prospectivity based on known historical mining of tin and tantalum, recent high grade lithium rock chip samples, surface geochemistry and potassic linear features (potassic has the potential to delineating shallow pegmatites which might be hosting lithium-tin-tantalum-rare earth mineralisation). A notice of meeting seeking shareholder approvals for the acquisitions has been dispatched to shareholders and the meeting is to be held on Wednesday 16 February 2022.

-
Late-stage pegmatites swarms which principally host the tin/tantalum mineralisation. No lithium exploration conducted over these pegmatites.
-
The Coondina Project (E45/4266) 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 reserve with further auger drilling. No sampling for lithium has been conducted.
-
Greenbushes have delineated unmined mineralised zones – massive amount of work is required to place all the exploration results within GIS format – this work will enable rapid JORC estimation once drilling has been completed. No Drilling has ever been conducted over the Project area.

Haystack Well Project E46/1380
-
The project includes historic tantalum alluvial workings (MINEDEX registration S0029250) - a strong indicator of localised LCT pegmatites). Previous exploration includes a soil survey conducted by Balx Pty Ltd.
-
Soil sampling indicates two lithium in soil anomalies >200ppm Li (with assays up to 589ppm Li in soil) situated in the pegmatitic aureole surrounding the granite. Trace elements analysis indicates that the granite is zoned anomalous in tinberyllium-niobium grading to lithium and caesium in the surrounding zone - a typical zonation pattern for lithium pegmatites
-
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.

Soanesville Projects (E45/4455, E45/3926, and E45/5071)
-
Similar geological and structural features to Wodgina and Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Deposits.
-
Regional geological structure within E45/3926 is similar to Pilgangoora which hosts the Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX: PLS) Mining Operations ([email protected]% Li2O, 116ppm Ta2O5).
-
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.
New South Wales
MinRex completed its first pass RC drilling campaign over the Queenslander Gold Prospect, within the Company’s Sofala Project. 7 RC holes for 686m were completed designed to test the historical high-grade targets within a broad gold mineralisation structural corridor defined by coincident historical gold workings.
The Mine was first discovered in 1888 and worked until 1935 on a small scale. Total tonnage mined was in excises of 7,011t producing 3,696 oz Au averaging 6 g/t Gold. The Queenslander Mine occurs within an imbricated thrust zone at the point where the Big Oakey fault intersects the line of the Wiagdon Thrust and the thrust veers to 205[o ] along an 025[o ] trending lineament. The Wiagdon Thrust separates the Silurian Tanwarra Shale from the Sofala Volcanics. Free gold and gold incorporated within the sulphide lattices is associated with carbonate and sulphide stockwork veinlets. Gold also occurs disseminated within the altered diorite Gold also occurs disseminated within the altered diorite.
The thick high-grade gold lodes show significant strike and down dip with strong gold mineralisation delineated at depth. Within the gold lodes, there are strong magnetic susceptibility recordings which are associated with pyrite alteration. This can used as a targeting tool to delineate undiscovered gold mineralisation through magnetic surveys
