••
RareX Limited (“the Company”, “RareX”) (ASX: REE ) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its Trundle Gold-Copper Joint Venture Project , located in the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW. The Trundle Project is a 65%: 35% joint venture between RareX and Kincora Copper Limited (“Kincora”; TSX-V: KCC).
Kincora has recently completed a $5.33 million capital raising to accelerate drilling activities at Trundle and undertaken a site visit review by senior members of its exploration team.
Kincora has also confirmed details of a substantial expansion of its drilling program at Trundle, with permits secured and landowner access agreements in place for a further 17 diamond drill holes targeting an economic porphyry copper-gold deposit and/or skarn deposit. Kincora has also reported further encouragement from recent diamond drilling at the Mordialloc prospect, with results from recently completed holes reported in this announcement.
John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, Senior VP of Exploration, at Kincora commented: “Drilling at the Mordialloc prospect is continuing to provide significant indications of being in close proximity to a high-grade part of the porphyry system. Kincora’s third hole at Mordialloc is currently drilling, intersecting intense propylitic alteration with some veined zones hosting chalcopyrite mineralization. This further confirms our view that the Mordialloc prospect of the Trundle project has the potential for the discovery of an economic gold-rich copper porphyry deposit.”

“With access re-established after the local lambing season, the team is very excited to shortly resume drilling at the Trundle Park prospect located in the southern part of Trundle. An extensive drilling program is planned to follow up the near-surface skarn system potential and to continue testing for a causative underlying mineralized porphyry copper-gold deposit, suggested by favourable results in our first drill hole.
“The recent capital raising provides funding to continue the systematic drill focused exploration programs at both Mordialloc and Trundle Park. With new permits in place for a further 17 holes across the Trundle project and a good working relationship with the landowners and local stakeholders, the Company is well placed to significantly advance our exploration targets in the upcoming months.”

The Mordialloc Prospect
As previously announced, assay results from Kincora’s first hole (TRDD002) at the Mordialloc target confirmed historical drilling results and returned metal grades comparable to the distal zones of the Northparkes and Cadia-Ridgeway porphyry deposits, within inner-to-outer propylitic style hydrothermal alteration – see ASX announcement: 24 July 2020.
These results together with previously untested industry-leading “Typhoon” induced polarization (IP) and magnetic surveys completed by previous explorer High Powered Exploration (HPX), and anomalous and increasing copper, gold and molybdenum grades towards the end of CTD006 (hole ending at 524m) encouraged Kincora to step out approximately 150m to the south of TRDD002 with drill hole TRDD005 (the second Kincora hole at the Mordialloc target).
TRDD005 was drilled to 958m and returned multiple broad zones of anomalous copper, gold and molybdenum, including localized moderate to higher grade intervals. A summary of anomalous assay results and notable intervals is shown in Table 4.
Significantly, a relatively shallow and previously unidentified skarn was also intersected in TRDD005 (including 12m at 0.33g/t Au and 0.29% Cu from 138m, including 2m at 1.4g/t Au and 1% Cu from 142m).
While returning anomalous and encouraging mineralization and alteration, the drill hole is interpreted to have been drilled to the east away from the targeted mineralized quartz monzonite porphyry complex – see Figure 4.
The favorable higher-grade results from TRDD005, coupled with significant grades from prior drill hole CTD006 (44m @ 0.15% Cu, 0.12g/t Au and 41ppm Mo) encouraged Kincora to drill TRDD006 to the west.
Propylitic alteration and surface mineralization have also been identified at surface in this area, and rock chip samples were collected and are currently being assayed. Together with the results from TRDD005 and TRDD006, this supports the concept of multiple mineralizing positions and phases of intrusions, with the potential for the discovery of a near-surface finger porphyry deposit.
Drill hole TRDD006 is ongoing at 727m depth with encouraging alteration and visual sulphides (including chalcopyrite) having been intersected, supporting the concept of close proximity to a potassic and higher grade core of the targeted system.
The first drill hole at the Mordialloc target (TRDD002) is proposed to be reopened and extended as interpretation of the alteration and assay results suggest these may represent the halo of a mineralized porphyry intrusion system.
Further drilling in addition to the ongoing hole TRDD006 and the extension of TRDD002 is proposed to aggressively test the targeted finger porphyry setting and potential clustering of associated mineralized systems across a significant strike where anomalous surface and end of hole geochemistry, and geophysics are complementary – see Figure 3.
Similar vectoring from drill hole alteration indicators was the exploration approach that was the key to the discovery of Cadia-Ridgeway, the majority of the Northparkes deposits and also Alkane Resources’ recent discovery at Boda.

Figure 4: Cross section of current drilling at the Mordialloc target
Alteration and mineralisation returned in holes TRDD006, TRDD005 and CTD006 provide strong encouragement for close proximately for the targeted high-grade potassic core of a Macquarie Arc “finger” or “pencil” porphyry target.
The Trundle Park Prospect
Kincora will shortly resume drilling at the southern Trundle Park target following the completion of TRDD006, the end of seasonal lambing and the provision of updated permits and landholder access agreements.
The Company’s first drill hole (TRDD001) intersected multiple significantly mineralized skarn zones including 51m @ 1.17 g/t gold and 0.54% copper from 39m and 18m @ 0.53 g/t gold and 0.05% copper from 284m. TRDD001 also intersected broad anomalous mineralization (including 21.1m @ 0.25 g/t Au and 0.03% Cu from 664m to end of hole) in the outer zone of the targeted adjacent porphyry intrusion system – see ASX announcement: 6 July 2020.
Kincora’s second follow-up drill hole (TRDD004) was drilled 269m to the west of TRDD001, a considerable step-out, and was completed to 694m targeting a blind finger porphyry and not targeting the previously intersected high-grade skarn mineralization in TRDD001.
RareX Limited Suite 23, 513 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008 Ph: 08 6143 6720 ACN: 105 578 756
==> picture [150 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
TRDD004 did not intersect any skarn alteration and is interpreted to have intersected volcanics intruded by monzodiorite and monzonite across a fault block with minor potassic alteration at the bottom of the hole – anomalous results presented in Table 3. Such a fault setting is not uncommon in other Ordovician age porphyry systems in the Macquarie Arc and TRDD004 has assisted understanding of the fault blocks and potential preservation levels within the Trundle Park target.
With unencumbered access, high-priority drilling at Trundle Park will initially test the northern and southern strike of alteration and mineralization intersected in TRDD001 within the same interpreted fault block – see Figure 1. These holes will seek to test both the standalone near-surface gold-rich skarn and underlying finger porphyry potential at the Trundle Park target.
The Bayley’s Prospect
Drill-hole TRDD003 was completed to 721.5m at the Bayley’s target, confirming an interpreted fertile porphyry setting with zones of anomalous mineralization within the targeted quartz monzonite porphyry – see Table 2.
Further potential remains within the Bayley’s target zone, with drilling proposed in the second stage of the ongoing drilling program seeking to test the standalone potential for a finger porphyry within the larger northern Mordialloc intrusive complex. However, due to encouraging results with TRDD002 and TRDD005, combined with access (lambing) and permit constraints, a second hole was not completed during phase 1 of Kincora’s maiden drilling program.

Mr Moulang is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientist and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Moulang consents to the inclusion in this release of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
The Trundle Project
The Trundle project is located 30km west of the China Molybdenum Company Limited (“CMOC”) operated Northparkes copper-gold project, in the same Northparkes Igneous Complex.
Past explorer drilling has been extensive with the completion of 2208 holes for 61,146 metres but deeper drilling utilising modern exploration knowledge has been very limited.
Over 92% of prior drilling has been to less than 50 metres depth, a depth that the existing major mines in this belt suggest is just too shallow, with just 11 holes beyond 300 metres (0.5% of holes drilled).
Existing significant drill intersections supports vectoring to very compelling targets for ongoing phase 1 drilling program at three existing mineralised systems – Trundle Park, Mordialloc and Bayleys. These systems have not been drilled since industry leading Induced Polarisation survey's, including HPX’s proprietary Typhoon system, and magnetic modelling were completed.

| Appendix 1: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 | ||
| Trundle Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | |
| 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. |
• The Trundle Park prospect at the Trundle Project was drill tested by our Joint Venture partner, Kincora Copper Limited with Diamond Drill core by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd. • Diamond drilling was used to obtain orientated samples from the ground, which was then structurally, geotechnically and geologically logged • Sample interval selection was based on geological controls and mineralization • Sampling was completed to industry standards with ¼ core for PQ diameter diamond core and ½ core for HQ and NQ diameter diamond core sent to the lab for each sample interval • Samples were assayed via the following methods: - Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay) - Multiple elements: ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements) - Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis) has been assayed, but not reported - Assayresults >10g/tgold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed |
| 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). _ |
• Diamond Drilling (DD) completed using PQ, HQ3 and NQ2 diameter |
| 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 topreferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• Drill Core recovery was logged • Diamond drill core recoveries are contained in the body of the annoucnment |
| 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. |
• Systematic geological, structural and geotechnical logging was completed by Kincora geologists and consultant |

| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• The detail of logging was appropriated for the understanding and sampling of this style of mineralization • Drill core was photographed |
|
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• Once all geological information was extracted from the drill core, the sample intervals were cut in half with an Almonte automatic core saw, bagged and delivered to the laboratory. • This is an appropriate sampling technique for this style of mineralization and is the industry standard for sampling of diamond drill core. |
| 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. |
The reported assays were analyzed by ALS. The following techniques were used: • Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported. • Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter reported. • Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis), sampled but not reported. • Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed using an appropriate assay method In addition to internal checks by ALS, Kincora incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards and blanks for 5% of all assayed samples. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
• Significant intercepts were calculated by Kincora’s geological staff. • No twinned drill holes have been completed. • The intercepts have not been verified by independent personal • There are numerous shallow drill holes in the Trundle Park prospect that verify the gold and copper tenure of the prospect. • There has been no adjustments to assay data with ME-MS61 results reported for copper assays beingthe lower result relative to ME-ICP44. |

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | • Exploration has been conducted by multiple previous explorers include Newcrest Mining, Calibre Mining, HPX and Clancy Exploration • The review and verification process for the information disclosed herein for the Trundle project has included the receipt of all material exploration data, results and sampling procedures of previous operators and review of such information by Kincora’s geological staff using standard verification procedures |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | As per body of announcement |
| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole 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. |
As per body of announcement |
| 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. |
• Significant intercepts were calculated using weighted averaging • Interpreted near surface skarn gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.20g/t and 0.10% respectively. Internal dilution is below cut off. |

| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• Porphyry gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.10g/t and 0.05% respectively. Internal dilution is below cut off. |

| 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’). |
• Geometry of the mineralised zones, including true width, is unknown due to lack of drill density |
| 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 aplan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Maps and diagrams are included in the body of 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 be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• Reporting is considered balanced |
| 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. |
• Nothing further |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or large scale step out drilling. |
• Exploration is ongoing. • Exploration activities are to be undertaken by Kincora Copper, the Company's joint venture partner. • This announcement is reporting the assay results from drill holes 3, 4 and 5. Assays are waiting for final hole of the 6 hole program and drilling is set to begin on an additional 17 holes. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
