Assays pending from multiple deep diamond holes
RareX Limited ( RareX , the Company ) (ASX: REE) is pleased to report significant new results received from diamond and reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling being undertaken as part of the 2022 growth drilling program at its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths and Phosphate Project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The first assays for a complete diamond drill hole have been received for CDX0020, which returned an impressive intercept of 384.4m at 4% P2O5 and 0.3% TREO and a high-grade rare earths zone of 11.6m at 1.9% TREO .
Assays have also been received for six RC drill holes which returned wide and high-grade phosphate and rare earths intercepts including 153m at 11% P2O5 and 0.4% TREO from hole CDX0081.
Multiple broad intercepts over one hundred metres have the potential to significantly expand both the rare earths and phosphate components of the Cummins Range deposit and add to the current JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (at a 0.5% TREO cut-off) of 18.8 million tonnes at 1.15% TREO and 10% P2O5 (ASX: 19 July 2021).
These outstanding results add further momentum to the Cummins Range Project following the delivery of the recent positive Scoping Study (ASX: 12 September 2022) and are expected to further enhance project economics.

RareX Managing Director, Jeremy Robinson, said the initial assay results from deeper drilling had further increased the scale of the Cummins Range deposit and confirmed the presence of a very large mineral system:
“Our deeper drilling has shown that carbonatite pipes are very large mineralising systems capable of hosting millions of tonnes of rare earth oxides and top-quality rock phosphate. We look forward to releasing further results from diamond holes to the south-east, closer to the centre of the system.
“The phosphate mineralisation on the Phos Dyke is shaping up to be a very large body of phoscorite, with the rare earths-rich carbonatite veins reported in this release and in our last announcement proving to be an added bonus.”
Diamond Drill-Hole CDX0020
CDX0020 has intersected numerous phosphate and rare earths zones including 384.4m at 4% P2O5 and 0.3% TREO. The wide zone is centred around the 80m wide Rare Dyke, as shown on Figure 1.

The Rare Dyke and hanging wall/footwall positions have abundant coarse disseminations of apatite with 26 monazite/bastnasite mineralised zones ranging from 0.3m to 11.6m. These zones accumulate to a total of 43m at 1.7% TREO (significant intercepts shown in Table 1). The strongest mineralised zone of 11.6m at 1.9% TREO and 7% P2O5 is located on the hanging wall contact of the Rare Dyke. Multiple rare earth zones above are hosted in carbonatite bands proximal to the Rare Dyke.

Figure 1 shows phosphate intercepts for the drill-holes completed up-dip of hole CDX0020. All of these drill holes have strong phosphate and rare earths mineralisation including CRX0063, which intersected 121m at 7% P2O5 and 1.2% TREO.
All of the drill holes completed up-dip have been stopped in strong phosphate mineralisation, with the footwall position of the Rare Dyke remaining wide open.

Phos Dyke RC Results
Assays for the first three drill holes at the Phos Dyke (CRX0074, CRX0075 and CRX0081) have been received with all three generating intercepts of more than 100m of high-grade phosphate.
The most mineralised was CRX0081, which intersected 153m at 11% P2O5 and 0.4% TREO , including 20m at 25% P2O5 and 0.82% TREO and 10m at 31% P2O5 and 1% TREO. The drill intercepts are shown on Figure 3 and the Percent Metre Contour plan is shown in Figure 5. Significant phosphate intercepts are shown in Table 2.

An additional rare earths domain is also emerging to the north of the Phos Dyke, with the widest intersections being 46m at 1.1% TREO including 1m at 8.2% TREO in hole CRX0075.
A higher-grade zone of 7m at 2.5% TREO was also intersected in the upper 30m of hole CRX0074. Assays are pending for surrounding drill holes to support this new development.
Rare Dyke North-West RC Drilling
Assays have been received for the three RC drill holes (CRX0071, CRX0072 and CRX0073) drilled in the north-western extent of the Rare Dyke, testing along strike of hole CDX0013, which intersected 26m at 2.3% and 13% P2O5 (ASX: 18 January 2022). The location of these holes can be found on Figure 6.

Numerous mineralised zones were intersected in hole CRX0071, including 7m at 1.9% TREO and 6% P2O5, 29m at 0.9% TREO including 5m at 2% and 4m at 2% TREO. All of these intersections are located within a larger phosphate intersection of 98m at 8% P2O5 and 0.7% TREO.
CRX0072 was drilled in front of CRX0071 and intersected 76m at 5% P2O5 and 0.5% TREO, with rare earth intercepts of 4m at 1.4% TREO and 14m at 0.9% TREO.
CRX0073 had narrower rare earths mineralisation and weaker phosphate. These intercepts can be found in the significant intercept Tables 1 and 2. The weaker mineralisation likely marks the northwestern edge of the Rare Dyke.

| Cummins Range 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 Cummins Range Rare Earth deposit is being drilled tested with RC drilling and diamond drilling. • The RC drill rig used a 5 ½ inch diameter hammer. Each 1m bulk sample was collected in a plastic bag. • Diamond drill sizes used are PQ, HQ and NQ2 • Each metre was analysed with a portable XRF, and recovery and geology logs were completed. • Sample interval selection was based on geological controls and mineralisation • Each 1m RC sample has a 4% cone split from the drill rig. Samples submitted to the laboratory vary in length from 1m to 4m. • Each core sample was cut in half with an automatic core saw. The half core sample was sent to the laboratory with intervals ranging from 0.3m to 1.3m. • Samples are assayed for 35 elements using peroxide fusion with a ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish |
| 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). _ |
• Prefix CRX drill holes are reverse circulation (RC) drilling • Prefix CDX are diamond drilling. |
| 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. |
• Recoveries for all drill holes were recorded for each metre. • Recoveries for the RC drilling in this announcement are >95% • Recoveries for the Diamond drilling in this announcement are >99% |
| 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 metres drilled had a geology log completed. Geology logs were aided using geochemical analysis from a portable XRF. • The detail of logging is appropriated for Mineral Resource estimation. |
|
|---|---|---|
| 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 the grain size of the material being sampled. |
• A 4% split from the cone splitter on the drill rig is used for the laboratory assay. Samples are often composited and samples can range from 1-4m. • This RC sampling technique meets the industry standards and is appropriate for this style of mineralisation and for resource estimation. • Diamond core was cut in half with an automatic core saw and half the core was sent to the laboratory. This is an appropriate method for this style of mineralization and for resource estimation. |
| 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 analysed by Nagrom. The following techniques were used: • 35 elements were assayed for using peroxide fusion with a ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish • In addition to internal checks by Nagrom, RareX incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards, blanks and duplicates for 8% 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 RareX geological staff. • The intercepts have not been verified by independent persons • There are numerous drill holes with in the Cummins Range resource of comparable tenure • All assay results are reported to RareX in parts per million (ppm). RareX geological staff then convert the parts per million to ppm oxides using the below element to stoichiometric oxide conversion factors. La2O31.1728,CeO21.2284, |

| 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 the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
• Drill hole collars were located by handheld GPS and DGPS • All coordinates are in MGA Zone 52H 2020 • Topographic control is maintained by the use of previously surveyed drill holes. The Cummins Range deposit is located on flat terrain. • Down hole surveys were taken every 10m usingan Axis Gyro tool |
| 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. |
• CDX0020 was targeting closer to CDX0016 but the hole dropped significantly in the upper 300m, resulting in a 200m gap between hole CDX0020 and CDX0016. An infill hole is being drilled between the two to establish grade continuity. The exploration team are seeing the same geological positions mineralised along strike, suggesting RareX have a solid geological model, however this is not supports by assays as yet. • The purposed of the RC drilling on the Phos Dyke is to extend the phosphate and rare earths mineralization to the north east. Drill spacing of 40m x 40m grid is appropriate to establish geological and grade continuity. • 2m to 4m RC composites were completed in areas where higher grades were not expected |
| 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. |
• The angled drill holes were directed as best as possible across the known geology. |

| Cummins Range Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
• The Cummins Range REO deposit is located on tenement E80/5092 and is 100% owned by Cummins Range Pty Ltd which is a wholly owned subsidiary of RareX Ltd. Cummins Range Pty Ltd has purchased the tenement from Element 25 with a potential capped royalty payment of $1m should a positive PFS be completed within 36 months of purchase finalisation. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• CRA Exploration defined REO mineralisation at Cummins Range in 1978 using predominantly aircore drilling. Navigator Resources progressed this discovery with additional drilling after purchasing the tenement in 2006. Navigator announced a resource estimate in 2008. Kimberley Rare Earths drilled additional holes and upgraded the resource estimate in 2012. |
| 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 |

| 1000-2000ppm TREO and high grade zones up to 17% TREO. The current resource sits primarily within the oxidised/weathered zone which extends to 120m below the surface. Metallurgical studies by previous explorers and by RareX show the rare earth elements are hosted by monazite and bastnasite which are a common and favourable hosts for rare earth elements. |
||
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• All drill hole locations are shown on the drill plan and collar details are tabled within the 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 • A lower cut off grade of 0.5% TREO was used for the rare earths intercepts with a maximum of 4m dilution. The cut off grade and dilution are thought to be appropriate due to likely open cut mining methods that would be used on the outcropping ore body. • A lower cut off grade of 3% P2O5 was used for the phosphate intercepts with a maximum of 6m dilution. The cut offgrade and |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |

| dilution are thought to be appropriate due to likely open cut mining methods that would be used on the outcropping ore body. • No metal equivalent values have been used |
||
|---|---|---|
| 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 angled drill holes were directed as best as possible across the known geology. • The true widths of the phosphate and rare earths intercepts in this announcement are likely >80% of the true width. The current geological model interprets the Phos Dyke and surrounding lithologies to be similar to the Rare Dyke dipping to the south west. Current drilling is aimed at 50 degrees and 60 degrees dip cutting the interpreted lithologies at a high angle. |
| 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. |
• A drill hole plan, sections and contoured plan view of the Phos Dyke are included. |
| 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. |
• RareX have a JORC compliant resource of 18.8Mt at 1.15% TREO, 0.14% Nb2O3 and 10% P2O5. Metallurgical studies are currently being conducted. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or large scale step out drilling. |
• Awaiting assays for diamond and RC drilling • Metallurgical tests are being conducted |
