  • Attractive Basket Price of US$34.2/kg based on US$110/kg NdPr

  • Phosphate characteristics are highly favourable for organic phosphate production with potential to also use in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries

  • Updated Cummins Range Scoping Study underway

Australian rare earths and phosphate developer, RareX Limited (ASX: REE) ( RareX or the Company ), is pleased to report a further substantial increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths-Phosphate Project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The second instalment of the updated Cummins Range MRE (following the updated MRE reported on 30 March 2023) combines the Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke and contains an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 519Mt at 0.32% TREO (total rare earths oxide) and 4.6% P2O5 (phosphate) with appreciable quantities of niobium and scandium. The amount of contained TREO is 1.6Mt with 360Kt of contained NdPr oxide.

This MRE makes Cummins Range the second-largest rare earths deposit , and the largest undeveloped rare earths deposit , in Australia.

Within the large phosphate resource are significant tonnes of high-grade TREO including 52Mt at 1.02% TREO from a 0.6% cut-off. This accounts for one-third of the total contained TREO for the MRE and shows there are significant tonnages of high-grade rare earth veins within the phosphate Resource.

The addition of the Phos Dyke resource adds significant phosphate tonnages with an increase of 105Mt at an average grade of 6% P2O5 and 0.26% TREO. The TREO grade is lower than the Rare Dyke but has a higher NdPr content of 25% and higher HREO content of 8%. The updated Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke MRE includes 67Mt at 0.5% TREO and 7% P2O5 in the higher-confidence Indicated category, which is mostly contained in the upper 100m. Importantly, the concentration of the high value metals neodymium and praseodymium is 73kt.

A phosphate cut-off was chosen for the MRE as it better represents the geology and economic potential of the deposit in that it captures the phosphate and almost all of the rare earths.

Substantial quantities of phosphate will be mined to access rare earth mineral concentrations and RareX intends to extract value from both the phosphate and rare earths. In addition, the Company will investigate the value opportunities presented by the appreciable quantities of niobium and scandium present in the deposit.

While elements of the pre-feasibility study (PFS) are underway, the aspects impacted by this updated MRE have been re-scoped. It is anticipated that the re-scoped PFS will initially be able to be presented as an updated Scoping Study, setting the scene for all PFS work streams.

Overview

RareX is pleased to present an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths-Phosphate Project in Western Australia. The Rare Earths and Phosphate MRE is based on the Cummins Range Carbonatite Pipe at the Cummins Range Project, located 130km south-west of Halls Creek in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The 2km x 2km carbonatite pipe is entirely contained in tenement E80/5092, which also contains multiple geochemical and geophysical anomalies that have not been tested.

Since 2019, when founding Managing Director Jeremy Robinson started RareX, staged drilling campaigns have resulted in an increase in the geological understanding of the carbonatite system and a corresponding increase in the tonnages of contained TREO and P2O5.

The 2021 TREO resource estimate captured the regolith mineralisation on top of the Rare Dyke and parts of the Phos Dyke. Subsequent drilling has focused on extending the rare earths mineralisation into the fresh rock and increasing the tonnages of high-grade phosphate on the Phos Dyke at shallow depths.

Recent world events have put enormous strain on the world supply of phosphate, with the phosphate price increasing by 100% last year.

Compared to other phosphate deposits in Australia and the world, Cummins Range has a significant advantage given its proximity to Wyndham Port on the northern Kimberley coast. The additional value of the phosphate will significantly enhance the economics of the Project considering the pervasive occurrence of the mineral apatite throughout the 2km x 2km pipe and the ease of processing.

The additional 20,000m of drilling completed in the last two years has resulted in a 760% increase in contained TREO compared with the 2021 MRE and an increase of 1,120% compared with the 2019 MRE.

The graph in Figure 1 below provides a comparison of the three resources RareX has completed. The rare earths and phosphate mineralisation is open in all directions, and is likely only constrained by the boundaries of the pipe.

Commenting on the finalised Mineral Resource estimate, RareX Chief Executive Officer, James Durrant, said:

“Our exploration efforts at Cummins Range have delivered us a terrific result, reflecting both a huge amount of work by Guy Moulang’s team and the vision of our Chairman, Jeremy Robinson. Cummins Range now stands out as a large and attractive source of both rare earths and phosphates, with the updated global Mineral Resource Estimate providing an incredible foundation to move the Project firmly into the development chapter.

“We are very excited to deliver this result for our shareholders, demonstrating that RareX has ownership of the largest undeveloped rare earths asset in Australia, with significant quantities of contained rare earth oxides and phosphate giving us exposure to two global mega-trends, being decarbonisation and the requirement to feed a rapidly growing global population. We look forward to unlocking the value of this asset for our shareholders.”

Project Location

The Cummins Range Rare Earth Project is located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, south-west of the town of Halls Creek, as shown below.

Access to the Project from Halls Creek is via the Great Northern Highway and then the Tanami Road to Ruby Plains station. From there, access is along station tracks. Halls Creek also has a sealed airstrip and connects to the ports of Wyndham and Darwin via the Great Northern Highway.

On 12 May 2022, the Western Australian Government announced the decision to seal the Tanami Road. The Western Australian State Budget 2022/23 has allocated an additional $100 million, alongside the recently announced $400 million Federal allocation, to completely seal the Tanami Road in Western Australia.

The decision to seal the Tanami Road will improve safety, accessibility and flood resilience to better support communities and industries in the north-east of Western Australia. Along with a new access road planned for development later in 2023, the Tanami upgrade will help RareX develop steady-state operations throughout the year, in particular, during the wet season.

Main Roads Western Australia has developed plans to seal the first 20km section south of the Great Northern Highway near Halls Creek in 2022. Detailed design, ground surveys and approvals are also planned or underway.

The infrastructure is ideally suited for bulk commodity transport and logistics with the Tanami Road upgrade meaning the whole supply chain will be on sealed roads. Wyndham Port is being upgraded and improved as a strategic port and the Ord River Hydro Power Station has reserve capacity for energy supply.

The Kimberley Port Authority has recently applied to the Commonwealth Government for Wyndham Port to be allocated as the port of first entry, setting the scene for a strategic upgrade of this important piece of infrastructure, which is already powered by hydro-electricity.

RareX is also collaborating with the agricultural industry in the region, with an MOU in place to develop a product roadmap with OrdCo, the distributors of fertilisers into the Ord River, and soon to be Carlton Plain, agricultural sectors. An MOU is also in place with Agrimin (ASX: AMN) to collaborate on product haulage, port handling and trans-shipment facilities.

Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke Resource

RareX engaged CSA Global, a member of the ERM group of companies, to estimate an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the Cummins Range carbonatite dykes. The MRE is reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) and is shown in full in Table 1.

CSA Global is satisfied that the techniques and methods used by RareX are consistent with industry standards as stipulated by the JORC Code (2012). The quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) supports the data that RareX has provided.

The MRE is considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction on the following basis:

  • the resource is situated in a favourable mining jurisdiction, with no known impediments to land access or tenure status;

  • the volume, orientation and grade of the Mineral Resource is amenable to mining extraction via bulk tonnage open pit or underground mining methods;

  • preliminary metallurgical test work shows extraction and concentration of rare earths and phosphate can be achieved using traditional processing techniques; and

  • a Scoping Study was completed in September 2022 (ASX release: 12 September 2022), which outlines an open cut mine and flotation beneficiation facility at site producing a rare earth mineral concentrate and a phosphate mineral concentrate, which can be hauled along mainly sealed roads to Wyndham Port. The Scoping Study further demonstrated potential for economic extraction.

The phosphate Mineral Resource was estimated using ordinary kriging interpolation techniques and reported at a 2.5% P2O5 cut-off grade

The Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke MRE is estimated over 800m of north-west – south-east strike, 500m of width, and 500m down-dip.

Geology Model

The Cummins Range pipe is a phosphorous-rare earth rich system with phosphorous and rare earths mineralisation found in variable quantities over the entire pipe. Drilling in the north-western portion of the pipe is the focus of this MRE.

The Cummins Range deposit is centred around two sub-parallel carbonatite dykes (Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke) that strike at 320 degrees and dip at 60 degrees to the south-west. The Rare Dyke and the Phos Dyke have intruded into the clinopyroxenite forming large apatite rich carbonatised alteration holes.

Within the carbonatites and wall rock alteration zones are monazite-bastnaesite-parisite rich veins that reach up to >20m wide. These phosphorous and rare earth rich rocks are present to significant depths with intersections drilled 600m below surface. The pyroxenites, carbonatites and alteration zones contain consistent disseminated to massive apatite and variable rare earths.

Sitting on top of the larger dyke (Rare Dyke) is a well-developed weathering profile hosting high grade rare earths, phosphate, scandium, and niobium mineralisation. The weathering profile can extend to greater than 100m depth. A combination of residual, or eluvial, chemical weathering and primary mineralisation has contributed to the strong enrichment of rare earths and phosphate.

A majority of the rare earths mineralisation in the regolith is contained in monazite with the remainder contained in bastnaesite and crandallite. Weathering processes have created an increase of monazite and apatite concentrations with portions of the regolith phosphate having potential for direct shipping ore ( DSO ).

==> picture [596 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

Large volumes of apatite rich phoscorite surround the Phos Dyke with consistent low grade rare earths in the form of monazite. Many of the 2022 drill holes bottomed in phoscorite and the extent of this rock type is open to the north, east and south.

The geological model was simplified to three geological units:

  1. Regolith – combination of all the domains in the regolith profile with the base of the weakly weathered oxidation boundary marking the lower boundary.

  2. Ultramafic/pyroxenite – undifferentiated ultramafics, including altered ultramafics and phoscorite.

  3. Carbonatite – dolomitic and calcic carbonatite.

Sampling

Navigator Sampling

  • Bulk samples were collected in green plastic bags, along with a 9:1 split from the cyclone.

  • 4m composites were taken during the time of drilling using a PVC spear for dry samples and an aluminium scoop for wet samples.

  • All composites that returned >1000ppm Ce were resampled on 1m intervals before commencement of the 2007 wet season. The 1m intervals were bagged from the drill rig 9:1 cone split.

Kimberley RC Sampling

  • No details on RC sampling have been recorded for the 77 drill holes completed by Kimberley. All drilled metres were sampled on 1m intervals, and it is assumed Kimberley used industry standards, which is sampling the 1m split from the cyclone on the drill rig.

RareX RC Sampling

  • For the 2020-2021 drill seasons the bulk sample was collected in green plastic bags and no split was taken. The cyclone was cleaned after every 3m drill run and where sticky clays were intersected, the driller would lift the hammer off the bottom and clean the cyclone after each metre. Wet samples were left open for water to evaporate.

  • Sampling intervals were determined by geology with the aid of a Niton pXRF. Sample intervals ranged from 4m, 3m, and 2m composites in areas of no expected rare earths mineralisation. Mineralised zones were sampled on 1m intervals.

  • The bulk bags were put through a 50/50 or 75/25 riffle splitter multiple times to achieve the desired 3kg sample. The splitter was cleaned between each sample and bulk samples were not put through the splitter until dry to avoid cross contamination.

  • In the 2022 drill season instead of splinting the entire bulk bags as done in previous years, the cone split from the drill rig cyclone was used which is 5% to 8% of the metre drilled.

Sampling Analytical Methods and QA/QC

The analytical method used to assay has remained consistent through all the drilling used in the MRE with a peroxide fusion digest, with an ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish. 4-acid digest was used by navigator as a qualifier and is described below. Table 4 summaries the assay details for all the holes.

Kimberley Rare Earths assayed for 30 elements: Al, Ca, Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ho, La, Lu, Mg, Nb, Nd, P, Pr, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, Tm, U V, Y, Yb, Zr. Laboratory QA/QC was conducted and assessed during previous resource estimates. However, RareX have not been able to obtain the raw data.

RareX has assayed for 42 elements: Ba, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Lu, Nb, Nd, Pr, P, S, Si, Zr, Sm, Sn, Ta, Tb, Th, Tm, U, W, Y, Tb, Hf, Al, C, K, Ag, As, Be, Na, S, Sr, Zn, Li and Pb. RareX used standards, duplicates and blanks comprising 10% of the samples in RC assay batches and 6% in the diamond assay batches.

A batch of 178 pulps from all three of the RareX drill programs were sent to an alternate laboratory to be assay via Peroxide Fusion with ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish as umpire checks. The elements assayed were P, Sc, Zr, Ce, Ho, Sm, Y, Dy, Tb, Nb, Gd, Tm, Pr, La, Ta, Yb, Er, Lu, Eu, Th, Nd, Hf and U. The umpire checks confirmed the accuracy of the analytical batches from 2020-2022.

The competent person is of the opinion that the quality of control procedures adopted by Navigator, Kimberley Rare Earths, RareX and both the laboratories are of sufficient quality for an Inferred and Indicated mineral resource estimate.

Specific Gravity

During the 2021 and 2022 drill programs, RareX exploration team completed regular SG measurements using the Archimedes Method. A total of 787 SGs were taken on numerous rock types in the regolith and fresh rock. Each SG sample was geologically logged and SGs were then divided into the geological domains and averaged. Table 5 below summarises the SG values applied in the mineral resource estimate.

Cut off Grade

A cut off grade of 2.5% P2O5 was used in the Mineral Resource estimate. Due to the size of the Mineral Resource and the potential for a very long mine life, a 2.5% cut is considered appropriate. Other deposits of comparable size and grade in the world have use similar cuts.

The apatite at Cummins Range lends itself to form high quality rock phosphate. Being an igneous phosphate deposit the resource contains very low levels of potentially toxic elements allowing upgrading. The coarseness of the apatite and simple mineralogy should also assist concentration.

Metallurgy

Beneficiation testwork to date has been focused on both rare earth and phosphate concentration and samples from different dykes and zones were tested.

The majority of 2021 and 2022 testwork was targeted at achieving a TREO grade between 10% and 20%, with acceptable recovery. This was achieved and exceeded; and the results were used to support the 2022 scoping study[1] . The September 2022 scoping study outlines a 15% TREO monazite concentrate from metallurgical testing. Since September 2022, metallurgical programs in Australia and overseas have been focused on refining the process and results are expected in coming months.

Phosphate optimised beneficiation as a strong alternative to rare earth focused beneficiation is also being explored. Phosphate flotation tests on weathered and fresh rock material from the Phos Dyke have produced concentrate grades of >39% P2O5 with >80% recovery[2] . Although the phosphate flotation of the Phos Dyke materials were not focused on rare earths concentration, the results showed similar TREO recovery trend to P2O5 with recoveries >60%. Phosphate flotation on the Rare Dyke material is currently in progress with results expected in coming months.

Bioavailability tests of phosphate samples are up to 4 folds the industry high bioavailability standard indicating the potential to produce direct shipping ore and phosphate mineral concentrate[3] .

Refining testwork carried out on the Rare Dyke material showed good amenability to conventional methods which demonstrated good rare earth extraction and impurity removal.

Estimation methodology

A block model constrained by the interpreted geological envelopes was constructed with a parent cell size of 12.5m (E) by 12.5m (N) by 5m (RL) adopted, with each cell dimension subdivided by a factor of 4 to achieve sub-celling to maintain the resolution of the geological domains. Samples composited to 1m length were used to interpolate oxide grades including rare earth oxide, P2O5, and Sc2O3 into the block model using ordinary kriging interpolation techniques. A search ellipse of 300m (X) by 300m (Y) by 70m (Z) was used to select samples for grade interpolation for P2O5, and 250m (X) by 150m (Y) by 50m (Z) for the rare earth oxides, within the strongly weathered zone, which hosts the highest grade P2O5 and TREO population in the MRE. A minimum of 8 and maximum of 22 samples were used per block estimate. Block grades were validated both visually and statistically. All modelling was completed using Datamine software.

The following density values were assigned to each geological domain, with the mineralisation bearing domains assigned the following density values; cover (2.0t/m[3] ), pan (2.5t/m[3] ), completely weathered (2.2t/m[3] ), strongly weathered (2.4t/m[3] ), moderately weathered (2.6t/m[3] ), weakly weathered (2.8t/m[3] ), pyroxenite (3.13t/m[3] ) and carbonatite (2.98t/m[3] ). Results were derived from Archimedes method test work using diamond core billets.

Mineral Resource Classification

The Mineral Resource is classified as a combination of Indicated and Inferred, with the Mineral Resource reported in accordance with the JORC Code, with geological and sampling evidence sufficient to assume geological and grade continuity within the volumes classified as Indicated. The classification levels are based upon an assessment of geological understanding of the deposit, geological and grade continuity, drillhole spacing, quality control results, search and interpolation parameters, and an analysis of available density

information. The Indicated volumes cover the volumes with 25m x 25m drill spacing, and Inferred covers volumes with up to 100m by 100m drill spacing.

Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction

The Cummins Range MRE is expected to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction ( RPEEE ) on the following basis:

  • the resource is situated in a favourable mining jurisdiction, with no known impediments to land access or tenure status;

  • the volume, orientation and grade of the resource is amenable to mining extraction via open pit or underground mining methods;

  • preliminary metallurgical test work shows extraction and concentration of rare earths and phosphate can be achieved with traditional processing techniques; and

  • a Scoping Study was completed in September, 2022 (ASX release: 12 September 2022), which outlines an open cut mine and flotation beneficiation facility at site producing a rare earth mineral concentrate and a phosphate mineral concentrate, which can be hauled along mainly sealed roads to Wyndham Port. The Scoping Study further demonstrated potential for economic extraction.

Potential To Grow Resource

The Cummins Range pipe is a phosphorous rare earths rich system with most drilled metres containing phosphate and rare earths mineralisation. The pipe extends over an area of 2km x 2km and the MRE is positioned in the western portion of the tenement and covers 40% of the pipe. The remainder of the pipe has sparse drilling with most holes containing phosphate and rare earths.

In the below Figure 7, the MRE is shown on the carbonatite pipe. The labelled drill holes are the RC holes that will not be included in the MRE. There are only 15 RC drill holes with a maximum depth of 49m. All of these holes except one have significant phosphate and rare earths mineralisation and intercepts are shown in Table 6.

The nearest five RC drill holes (KRC134-KRC138) to the Phos Dyke mineralisation are 300m to the east. The holes range from 40m to 49m deep and all finished in strong mineralisation.

Appendix A JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

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.

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 (e.g.
‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Drilling history includes:

CRA Explora�on (1978), Diamond drilling (DD) 2,400 m, plus
2,341m aircore (AC) and 302 m Rotary air blast (RAB). DD data
was retained for geological modelling but assays not used for
MRE.

Navigator Resources (2007), 148 AC holes (4510 m), 93 reverse
circula�on holes (RC) (9293 m). Holes drilled 60° towards south,
40 m spacing,

Kimberley Rare Earths (2012), 77 RC holes (4229 m)

RareX Limited (2020), 58 RC holes (6,146 m)

RareX (2021), 22 RC (1,440 m), 19 DD (3,830 m). Holes drilled
towards 050° or 230°, orthogonal to the strike of the carbona�te
pipe.

RareX (2022), 31 RC (3,943 m), 20 DD (10,473 m)

Navigator Drilling NRC001-NRC0093 (drilled in 2007); 4 m
composite spear samples were taken and assayed. Assay
intervals that returned results <1000ppm Ce were then
resampled. The 10% cone splits from the drill rig were then used
for the 1m re-assays.

Kimberly Rare Earths (KRE) Drilling KRC094-KRC0170 (2012) – All
drill meters were assayed on 1 m intervals using a 10% cone split
from the drill rig.

For RareX drilling:
o
CRX0001-CRX0070 – en�re Bulk samples were split down
into 1-4 m composites using a 50/50 or 75/25 rife spliter.
o
CRX0071-CRX0104 – 7% cone split from the drill rig was used
for 1-4 m composites. Composite samples were combined
using a 50/50 rife spliter.
o
CDX0001-CDX0050 - Diamond drill sizes used are PQ, HQ and
NQ2. PQ drill core was quarter cored and HQ, NQ2 were half
cored. Samples ranged from 0.3 m to 1.3 m.
o
The same por�on of drill core was always sampled rela�ve to
the orienta�on line or cut line.

Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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 are reverse circula�on (RC) drilling, and
diamond drilling using PQ, HQ, and NQ2 diameter core sizes.

AC and RAB holes were not used to support the Mineral
Resource model.
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.

The 2007-2012 samples (Navigator Resources and Kimberley
Rare Earths Ltd) were collected as both 4m composites for ini�al
assaying and 1m samples for follow up assaying of anomalous
zones. Most holes had good sample recovery although a limited
number of holes encountered high ground water infow and
karst type weathering in void forma�ons at depth exceeding
40m. Difcult drilling condi�ons including binding clays, voids
and water fow in several holes.

The 2020 infll drill program (RareX) involved drilling between
historic drillholes to test con�nuity of grade. The program used
a larger and more capable rig which resulted in good recoveries
in most of the drilling with an averaged of greater than 90%
sample recovery.

The cyclone was cleaned a�er every 3m drill run and where
s�cky clays were intersected, the driller would li� the hammer
of the botom and clean the cyclone a�er each metre. Wet
samples were le� open for water to evaporate.

All diamond drilling of PQ and HQ in the regolith was drilled with
triple tube to increase recovery.

There is no rela�onship between RC or diamond drilling 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.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.

The total length andpercentage of the relevant

All but three drill holes (NRC090-NRC093 for a total of 300 m)
have had a geological log completed.

RareX geological logging was aided using geochemical analysis
from a portable XRF. Geological logging includes weathering,
regolith and protolith iden�fca�on, mineral percentages,
altera�on, colour and texture.

Diamond drill core drilled by RareX has geotechnical, structural,
pXRF, recovery, photography and magne�c suscep�bility logs.

All diamond drill metres have had geotechnical assessment by
RareX staf. Rock strength, RQD, and rock hardness were
measured and allocated numerical values that will be easily
interrogated.

All of the above logs are quan�ta�ve with the excep�on of
geological logs in the regolith which can be qualita�ve.

Competent drill core was either halved (HQ, NQ2) or quartered
(PQ) using an Almonte core saw. Incompetent drill core was
divided using a bolster.

Navigator Drilling NRC001-NRC0093 – 4 m composite spear
samples were taken using a PVC spear. Assay intervals that
returned results <1000 ppm Ce were then resampled. The 10%
cone splits from the drill rig were then used for the 1m re-assays.

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
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

Navigator – 4 m composites were taken at the drill rig and sent
to Intertek where a 4-acid digest, with ICP-OES and ICP-MS
fnish. Where 4m composites returned cerium assays
>1000ppm, 1m re-assays were conducted on each of the metres
in the composites. The 1 m re-assays were a peroxided fusion
digest with ICP-OES and ICP-MS fnish. This technique is
considered as a total analysis for elements in considera�on for
this resource. 40 elements were assayed for. Laboratory QA/QC
was completed with regular standards, blanks and repeats.

Kimberley Rare Earths used Intertek for the 1m assays using
peroxided fusion digest with ICP-OES and ICP-MS fnish. This
technique is considered as a total analysis for elements in
considera�on for this resource. 30 elements were assayed for.
Laboratory QA/QC was completed with regular standards,
blanks and repeats.

RareX have used Nagrom for all assaying, using peroxided fusion
digest with ICP-OES and ICP-MS fnish. This technique is
considered as a total analysis for elements in considera�on for
this resource. 34 elements were assayed for. For drill holes
CRX0001-CRX0070 and CDX0002-CDX0019 a four-acid digest
with an ICP-OES and ICP-MS fnish was used for 13 indicator
elements. Nagrom applied their own QA/QC with regular
standards, blanks and repeats. RareX also applied regular
standards, duplicates and blanks comprising 10% of the samples
in RC assay batches and 6% in the diamond assay batches.

The quality of control procedures adopted by both the
laboratories are in line with industry standards and acceptable
levels of accuracy and precision have been established
throughout the genera�ons of assaying.

RareX’s quality of control procedures are in line with industry

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the

CRA Explora�on defned REO mineralisa�on at Cummins Range
in 1978 using predominantly aircore drilling. Navigator
Resources progressed this discovery with addi�onal drilling
a�er purchasing the tenement in 2006. Navigator announced
a resource es�mate in 2008. Kimberley Rare Earths drilled
addi�onal holes in 2012.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The Cummins Range REO deposit occurs within the Cummins
Range carbona�te complex which is a 2.0 km diameter near-
ver�cal diatreme pipe that has been deeply weathered but
essen�ally outcropping with only thin aeolian sand cover in
places. The diatreme pipe consists of various mafc to
ultramafc rocks with later carbona�te intrusions. The primary
ultramafc and carbona�te rocks host low to high-grade rare-
earth elements with background levels of 1000-2000 ppm
TREO and high-grade zones up to 20% TREO. Disseminated
apa�te is through all rock types and is also contained in
phoscorite. Above the carbona�te dykes is a well-developed
regolith profle that extends to 100 m below the surface where
a combina�on of residual, or eluvial and chemical weathering
have redistributed and upgraded rare earths and phosphate.

QEMSCAN and MicroXRF results have showed that all the
phosphate is contained in Apa�te and Monazite. The Apa�te
contains low UTh, no cadmium and chlorine, and elevated
levels of Fl that are well below acceptable limits.

o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not

from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.

All drill collar and intersec�on details for explora�on results

All drill hole details used in this Mineral Resource have been
previously announced on the ASX between 2019 and 2023.

All holes drilled by Navigator, KRE and RareX have been used

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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.

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

Weighted averages were used to calculate significant
intercepts for the 15 Kimberley Rare Earth drill holes shown in
Table 6. These intercepts were calculated using a 2.5% P2O5cut
with No more than 5m dilution.

No metal equivalent values were used in the announcement.
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 (e.g. ‘downhole length,

on Mineral Resource estimation.

The use of geology in guiding and controlling
Mineral Resource estimation.

The factors affecting continuity both of grade
and geology.

The confdence in the geological interpreta�on is refected in
the Mineral Resource classifca�on levels assigned to the
Mineral Resource es�mate.

Geological models were based upon drill hole samples,
including geological logs of lithology and weathering, and
sample assays.

No alterna�ve interpreta�ons have been considered.

The geological models guided the Mineral Resource es�ma�on,
with sample popula�ons for the total rare earth oxides and
phosphate mineralisa�on sta�s�cally reviewed, and geological
domains combined, or kept separate, as considered
appropriate.

The geological models provided by RareX extend along strike,
across width and to a depth beyond the extents of the classifed
Mineral Resource.

The geological interpreta�on for the regolith zone has provided
models for completely, strongly, moderately and weakly
weathered zones, based upon geological logs and chemical
assays of the samples. Two paleo-lakes (‘pans’) were modelled,
inflled with sediment. A thin veneer cover of alluvial and/or
elluvial sediments cover the deposit.

Within the strongly weathered domain are several other
geochemical domains based upon geological and geochemical
analyses of samples. These domains include silcrete, Mg-
deple�on and high phosphate zones. These domains were not
included in this Mineral Resource es�mate due to �me
constraints, but the sample analyses within the domains
infuenced the local block es�mates.

The primary zone comprises clino-pyroxenite and carbona�te
domains.

Grade con�nuity is primarily controlled by the strike, dip and
plunge of local geology, both within the regolith (mul�ple
weathering domains with fat lying to shallow dipping
geometries) and within the carbona�te and pyroxenite
(moderate dips)..
Dimensions
The extent and variability of the Mineral
Resource expressed as length (along strike or
otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface

Resource.

The Mineral Resource extends along strike (320°) 850 m, across
strike 800 m, and extends down dip to a maximum of 500 m
below surface.

In the case of block model interpolation, the
block size in relation to the average sample
spacing and the search employed.

Any assumptions behind modelling of selective

Any assumptions about correlation between

Description of how the geological interpretation
was used to control the resource estimates.

Discussion of basis for using or not using grade
cutting or capping.

The process of validation, the checking process
used, the comparison of model data to drillhole
data, and use of reconciliation data if available.

Datamine Studio RM so�ware was used for all geological
modelling, grade interpola�on, resource classifca�on and
repor�ng. Snowden Supervisor (v8.15) and GeoAccess
Professional were used for geosta�s�cal analyses.

A block model with block sizes 12.5 m(X) x 12.5 m(Y) x 5 m(Z) was
constructed, using the same fagging variables as used to fag
the drillhole samples. The block size compares favourably with
the 25 m x 25 m drill spacing in the majority of the Indicated
classifca�on domain.

A topographic DTM was used to deplete the block model at
surface.

All drilling data obtained by Navigator, Kimberley Rare Earths
and RareX was used to support the Mineral Resource es�mate.
Data obtained by CRA Explora�on was not used due to quality
control issues with the data.

Drillhole samples were fagged against the mineralisa�on
wireframe solids, and appropriate Datamine variables were set
to unique numeric values, for each wireframe solid.

Samples were composited to 1 m length and were used to
interpolate all REO grades, plus P2O5, Sc2O3, Nb2O5, U3O8,
ThO2 into the block model using ordinary kriging interpola�on
techniques. Accessory oxides including CaO, Fe2O3, MgO and
SiO2 were also interpolated.

Sta�s�cal assessments of all the oxides were carried out on
composited sample data which were fagged within the
geological domains, to determine if oxides could be combined
into larger domains. In this regard, the rare earth oxides within
the completely weathered, moderately weathered and weakly
weathered domains were combined into one domain. The
strongly weathered domain was sta�s�cally determined to be
a hard boundary for resource es�ma�on. The pan domain is
depleted by all REO and phosphate and is regarded to be a hard
domain boundary.

An assessment of high-grade sample assays was carried out so
that appropriate grade capping could applied.

Normal scores variograms were modelled for most oxides from
data in the regolith and primary domains. Low nugget efects of
≤10% were modelled for P2O5 and the REOs, short ranges of up
to 60 m and long ranges of > 100 m were modelled. Primary
direc�ons for P2O5 within the regolith are shallowly plunging
towards the west, and WNW for TREO. Within the primary
zones, moderate plunges were modelled for TREO and P2O5
towards the west.

The completely weathered, moderately weathered and weakly
weathered domains were combined into one domain for grade
interpola�on of REOs and P2O5.

Top cut and composited sample grades were interpolated into
the block model using ordinary kriging. The Datamine felds
LITHZON and WEATH were used to control grade interpola�on
with hard es�ma�on boundaries between the individual
regolith and primary lithologies, except where previously
noted.

A search ellipse of 300 m (X) by 300 m (Y) by 70 m (Z) was used
to select samples for grade interpola�on for P2O5 within the
strongly weathered zone, which hosts the highest grade P2O5
popula�on in the Mineral Resource. A search ellipse of 250 m
(X) by 150 m (Y) by 50 m (Z) was used to select samples for grade
interpola�on for the REOs within the strongly weathered zone.
Search ellipse radii were determined from variogram ranges,
and appropriate radii were determined for the other domains.

A minimum of 8 and maximum of 22 samples were used per
block es�mate. Search ellipse radii were increased when
needed to ensure all blocks were interpolated.

Oxides interpolated into the model are:
o
Heavy rare Earth Oxides (HREO): La2O3, CeO2, Pr6O11,
Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3; and Light Rare Earth Oxides
(LREO): Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3, Yb2O3,

o
Sc2O3, P2O5, Nb2O5, ZrO2, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3, MgO, SrO,
ThO2, U3O8, SiO2.

Selec�ve mining units were not adopted into the model.

Strong correla�ons were noted between the rare earth oxides,
due to being hosted in the same mineral (Monazite). The REOs
have very similar variogram models, and assump�ons were
made regarding common search ellipse radii and other
interpola�on parameters.

assumptions

Assumptions made regarding possible mining
methods, minimum mining dimensions and

potential mining methods, but the assumptions
made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources
may not always be rigorous. Where this is the
case, this should be reported with an
explanation of the basis of the mining
assumptions made.

A Scoping Study was completed in 2022 (ASX release, 12th
September, 2022). This Scoping Study was completed on the
2021 resource of 18.9Mt @ 1.15% TREO and 10% P205. The key
project fnancial metrics were posi�ve and the preferred
development path was to establish an open cut mine and
fota�on benefcia�on facility at site producing a rare earth
mineral concentrate and a phosphate mineral concentrate
which is trucked along mainly sealed roads to Wyndham Port.
At Wyndham Port, a hydroelectric powered rare earth refnery
facility is envisaged which produces a mixed rare earth
carbonate (MREC) product for export with a by-product of
merchant grade phosphoric acid.

The Scoping Study was completed on a much smaller resource
and focused on op�mising TREO recovery. The new block
model will be used to assess the poten�al for an open cut
mining opera�on with a focus on both phosphate and TREO
recovery. Recent metallurgical test work on the phosphate has
delivered premium phosphate concentrate with greater than
39% P2O5 using conven�onal fota�on circuits. Bioavailability
tests on the phosphate has also shown strong bioavailability
with up to 4 x the accepted industry standard. These results
show that lower grade P2O5 can be mined to achieve a
premium phosphate product.

Mining study work with the new resource will commence in
May 2023.

environmental impacts of the mining and
processing operation. While at this stage the
determination of potential environmental
impacts, particularly for a greenfields project,
may not always be well advanced, the status of
early consideration of these potential
environmental impacts should be reported.
Where these aspects have not been considered
this should be reported with an explanation of

Bulk densi�es were determined using the water displacement
method, with diamond core billets used.

The following means were calculated from the main modelled
data: Cover (mean density 2.0 t/m3, 6 samples), Pan (2.5 t/m3,
0 samples, recommended value provided by RareX),
completely weathered (2.2 t/m3, 2 samples), strongly

Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral
Resources into varying confidence categories.

Whether appropriate account has been taken of
all relevant factors (relative confidence in
tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input
data, confidence in continuity of geology and
metal values, quality, quantity and distribution
of the data).

Whether the result appropriately reflects the
Competent Person’s view of the deposit.

The Mineral Resource is classifed as a combina�on of Indicated
and Inferred, with the Mineral Resource reported in
accordance with the JORC Code, with geological and sampling
evidence sufcient to assume geological and grade con�nuity
within the volumes classifed as Indicated. The classifca�on
levels are based upon an assessment of geological
understanding of the deposit, geological and grade con�nuity,
drillhole spacing, quality control results, search and
interpola�on parameters, and an analysis of available density
informa�on. The Indicated volumes cover the volumes with 25
m x 25 m drill spacing, and Inferred covers volumes with up to
100 m by 100 m drill spacing.

Mineral Resource classifca�on was applied to the block model
using a cookie cuter approach, with polygons digi�sed around
drill samples from the regolith domains and using ‘slope of
regression’ outputs (using values of >0.7 for Indicated) from the
P2O5 kriging to guide the limits of the polygon.

Solid wireframe models were built capturing Indicated and
Inferred volumes for the Primary zones, which were added to
the block model and fagged with the appropriate resource
classifca�on.

The results appropriately refect the Competent Person’s view
of the deposit.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral
Resource estimates.

No audits or reviews of the current MRE have been undertaken
apart from internal reviews carried out by CSA Global.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative
accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral
Resource estimate using an approach or
procedure deemed appropriate by the
Competent Person. For example, the application
of statistical or geostatistical procedures to
quantify the relative accuracy of the resource
within stated confidence limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed appropriate, a
qualitative discussion of the factors that could
affect the relative accuracy and confidence of
the estimate.

The statement should specify whether it relates
to global or local estimates, and, if local, state
the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant
to technical and economic evaluation.
Documentation should include assumptions
made and the procedures used.

Only OK and IDS methods were used to interpolate the grade
variables, and no other es�mated methods were used in
parallel.

Relevant tonnages and grade above nominated cut-of grades
for P2O5 are provided in the introduc�on and body of this
report. Tonnages were calculated by fltering all blocks above
the cut-of grade and sub-se�ng the resultant data into bins by
mineralisa�on domain. The volumes of all the collated blocks
were mul�plied by the dry density value to derive the tonnages.

The Mineral Resource is a local es�mate, whereby the drillhole
data was geologically domained, resul�ng in fewer drillhole
samples to interpolate the block model than the complete
drillhole dataset, which would comprise a global es�mate.
