RareX acquired the Cummins Range Project in late 2019 and quickly completed a geophysical program to better define drill targets. Drilling was originally scheduled to begin in April but was delayed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program comprises over 6,000m of Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling targeting new discoveries, extensions to the known Resources, the conversion of Inferred to Indicated Resources within the known mineralisation and the collection of samples for metallurgical testwork.

Figure 2 - Planned Drill Program at Cummins Range
The mineralisation at Cummins Range is hosted within the weathered laterite horizon above the carbonatite intrusion – a similar geological setting to the world-class Mt Weld Rare Earths Deposit owned by Lynas Corporation (ASX: LYC).
RareX has mobilised its own geological and field staff and has contracted RC drilling company, KTE Drilling, to complete the program. The program is expected to run for two months and be completed by the end of September. Results will be provided as they come to hand.
RareX Executive Director Jeremy Robinson said: “We are confident that this program will deliver the results required to advance Cummins Range as a significant rare earth asset in Australia at a time of increasing geopolitical tensions and strong forecast demand growth for rare earth permanent magnets.
