POSITIVE ORE SORTING TESTWORK RESULTS A FURTHER BOOST FOR CUMMINS RANGE RARE EARTHS AND PHOSPHATE PROJECT

Ore sorting offers potential to reduce plant size while maintaining product tonnage

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Preliminary metallurgical testwork shows promising ore sorting performance

  • Outstanding results achieved with a high REE recovery to Ore Sort Product and good mass rejection

  • Very positive implications for project economics, particularly in light of the growing scale of the Project

  • Primary flotation test work now underway both in Australia and with world experts, Baotou Mengrong Fine Material Co. Ltd

RareX Limited ( RareX, the Company ) (ASX: REE) is pleased to report positive outcomes from an ore sorting testwork program conducted on samples collected from its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths Project ( the Project, Cummins Range ), located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The testwork was led by RareX with support from other consultancies, with results confirming the amenability of the Cummins Range material to ore sorting technology and demonstrating the potential to reduce the size of the beneficiation plant while maintaining the product tonnage.

RareX Managing Director, Jeremy Robinson, said: “This testwork shows that there is good potential to upgrade the primary material ahead of grinding and flotation, essentially doubling the feed grade for the Project and drastically improving the project economics. This is an exciting and very positive development, particularly given the rapidly growing scale of the Project with current drilling. We are looking forward to results from the next phase of primary flotation testwork, now underway.”

INTRODUCTION

The Cummins Range Rare Earths Project is a globally significant rare earths project located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia near the township of Halls Creek. The Project has a JORC Indicated and Inferred 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (cut-off grade 0.5% TREO) containing 18.8 million tonnes of 1.15% TREO and 10% P2O5 with a high neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr) to TREO ratio of 20%[1] .

1 ASX Announcement 19 July 2021: RareX delivers major resource upgrade at Cummins Range Rare Earths Project.

The primary rare earth mineral in the weathered part of the deposit, with the deposit outcropping in multiple locations. Within the primary part of the deposit both monazite and bastnaesite occur. The major gangue minerals of the deposit include goethite, apatite, calcite/dolomite and silicates.

ORE SORTING PROGRAM

Sighter ore sorting testwork was performed on a composite collected from the primary zone of the Cummins Range deposit at TOMRA Sorting Solution in NSW. The composite was crushed to a P100 grind size passing 30mm and screened at 10mm to prepare the feed for the ore sorting testwork.

This work was aimed at assessing the amenability of the Cummins Range material to ore sorting and producing a high TREO product fraction with as-high-as-possible TREO recovery by way of highdensity REE-bearing inclusion product ejection.

The sorter used for this testwork was TOMRA’s COM Tertiary XRT (X-Ray Transmission) (Figure 1). To set up/train the sorter and to parameterise the software, images were taken of the samples while samples were exposed to high energy X-rays. The X-ray sensor signal depends on atomic density and material thickness and gives information on the inner composition of the particles. By combining two energy levels simultaneously, it is possible to differentiate particles by their atomic densities.

Figure 1: TOMRA COM Tertiary Sorter

Based on changes in the X-ray intensity, the images were mapped and classified as either high atomic density (blue and black) or low atomic density (red) using proprietary TOMRA Sorting image processing software, and the sorting-task algorithms specific for the Cummins Range ore were developed. An example of the image processing is shown in Table 1.

The +10-30mm material was fed through the trained ore sorter with a single pass to sort into the product (REE-bearing ore) and waste. A summary of the ore sort results is included in Table 2.

Table 2: Ore Sort Results Summary

Element Mass Mass TREO + Y TREO + Y

Ore Sort Waste 64.00 48% 0.34 7%
Ore Sort Product 70.00 52% 3.87 93%

As shown in the table above, 93% of the total rare earths in the feed material was successfully maintained in the Ore Sort Product while rejecting 48% of the mass as waste. This is a very encouraging result, demonstrating the amenability of the Cummins Range material to ore sorting technology. The results have shown excellent potential to significantly reduce the plant size and transport requirements from mine to the beneficiation plant while maintaining the rare earth product tonnage through the inclusion of an ore sorting circuit to reject the gangue minerals upfront.

Given these positive results, further ore sorting testwork will be undertaken to improve on the current results and optimise the ore sort circuit. This next phase of testwork will be carried out at both a batch scale and at a larger scale using representative samples from the deposit.

PRIMARY FLOTATION TESTWORK

Further flotation test work is about to commence aiming to bulk float a combined rare earths and phosphate concentrate for subsequent separation, including with magnetics. If successful, this would give RareX increased optionality to decide which infrastructure components would be located at the mine site compared with the coast.

Furthermore, given the presence of both monazite and bastnaesite in the primary ore zone – similar to the giant Bayan Obo deposit in China – RareX has recently executed a non-disclosure agreement with Baotou Mengrong Fine Material Co. Ltd, an independent, world leading rare earth laboratory in China. A program is due to commence in November with a scope of work that will include testing regimes using commercially available and bespoke flotation reagents on both the regolith and fresh rock portions of the Cummins Range resource using samples aggregated to represent the run-of-mine (ROM).

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of RareX Limited.

Appendix 1: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling techniques and data - Metallurgy

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.
• Diamond drill cores were sampled for the ore
sort testwork. Samples were selected based on
drill assays, drill hole location and intervals,
geological and mineralogical data. Samples were
riffle split from bulk samples and sent to Auralia
Metallurgy in Perth and/or Nagrom Perth and/or
ALS Perth for assays and further testwork.
• Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Half core was sent to a laboratory to conduct
crushing, sampling and assaying. All laboratories
used in the assaying of the Cummins Range
material were checked for sampling and assaying
equipment and equipment calibrations /
accuracy.
• 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
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1m 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.
• Sample interval selection for the metallurgical
testwork was based on geological controls and
mineralisation of the deposit, the samples were
considered representative of the mineralisation
that were intended to be tested.
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).
• Drilling techniques used for the Cummins Range
samples used for the metallurgical testwork
were:
o
Diamond drilling in 2021- 2022 using HQ and
PQ sized rods.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
• Samples used for the metallurgical testwork were
quarter cores. Additional laboratory assays were
undertaken on the samples submitted for the
testwork and showed good alignments to the
drill assays.

• Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
• Larger and more capable rigs were used for
collection of the metallurgical samples which
allowed for good recoveries of samples. During
each drill program, all drill rigs were checked by
professional geologists, and all drill holes were
logged and monitored for recoveries and
accuracy prior to sample splitting and logging.
• 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.
• Holes used for the metallurgical testwork had
good sample recovery hence minor sample bias.
There is no distinctive relationship exist between
sample recovery and grade.
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.
• All samples used for the metallurgical testwork
were geologically logged to a detail level that
supported the metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

quarter, half or all core taken.
• Cores were cut in half and quarter, quarter cores
from each selected interval were used for this
metallurgical testwork.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet
or dry.
• N/A
• For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
• Samples used for the metallurgical testwork were
diamond drill cores which were split and
prepared with appropriate equipment. Where
required, the samples were crushed / ground
and/or chemically treated to ensure the samples
were properly prepared for the required
testwork.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• All sample preparation and sampling equipment
was cleaned with adequate procedures before
taking of each sample to ensure there is no cross-
contamination between samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected,includingfor instance

sampling.
samples showed high repeatability of drill assays
suggesting good representivity of the in-situ
material hence no further sampling was required.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
• The metallurgical sample sizes were appropriate
to the grain size of the material being sampled.
Where necessary, material was crushed and/or
pulverised before riffle / rotary split to ensure
good consistency of sampling representivity.
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.
• The assay analyses of all samples were conducted
by registered laboratories (i.e., ALS and Nagrom
etc.) with suitable equipment and well-known
quality assurance accreditation to ensure the
accuracy of the assay results. Samples were
assayed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP).
• 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.
• There was no reliance upon geophysical tools,
spectrometers, or any other techniques for the
required metallurgical testwork apart from the
use of a portable XRF to quickly track the
progress of metallurgical tests. These XRF results
were later confirmed with ICP analysis at the
laboratory. The XRF had been calibrated for very
elevated levels of REE and phosphate. System
checks, blanks and standards were analysed
before any PXRF readings were taken.
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
• The metallurgical samples were tested against
the standards and the good alignments to drill
assays confirmed the accuracy of the results.
Bench-top XRF assays were also verified with
additional ICP assays and the XRF equipment was
further calibrated to ensure the precision is well
established.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
• There are no significant intercepts mentioned in
this announcement.
• The use of twinned holes. • Twin holes were not used for collection of
metallurgical samples.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The Cummins Range REO deposit occurs within
the Cummins Range carbonatite complex which
is a 2.0 km diameter near-vertical diatreme pipe
that has been deeply weathered but essentially
outcropping with only thin aeolian sand cover in
places. The diatreme pipe consists of various
mafic to ultramafic rocks with later carbonatite
intrusions. The primary ultramafic and
carbonatite rocks host low to high grade rare
earth elements with back ground levels of 1000-
2000 ppm TREO and high grade zones up to 17%
TREO. The current resource sits primarily within
the oxidised/weathered zone which reaches to
120m below the surface. Metallurgical studies
carried out to date show that the rare earth
elements are primarily hosted by Monazite which
is a common and favourable host for rare earth
elements.

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.
• The resource has been reported using cut-off
grades of 0.5% and 1.0% TREO and are
considered appropriate for a potential open
mining scenario and metallurgical testwork.
• 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.
• No aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
• N/A
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.
• The Cummins Range resource is mostly located in
the regolith profile of the Cummins Range
diatreme. The weathering profile has created
super high grade REE mineralisation with
significant vertical and horizonal development.
These high grade intersections are mostly
focused along a north west structure that
extends for over 800 m. Thick vertical
intersections along this structure will thin as you
move towards the north east or south west. The
horizontal development of these zones can reach
up to hundreds of metres. Mineralisation is
developing in favourable horizons within the
regolith and is interpreted to be horizontal. All of
the drilling where the metallurgical samples were
taken from were at 60 degrees to the south and
is sufficient to test a horizontal ore body.
• 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’).
• No drill intercepts have been reported in this
announcement.
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.

• 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.
• N/A
Further work • The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. 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.
• The resource is open along strike and at depth.
Diamond drilling is currently in progress for
extensions to the deposit.
• Metallurgical work will continue to refine the REE
and phosphate recovery process.
• A PFS has been authorised to commence.
