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

The 2023 drill program was focused on gaining further understanding of the metallurgical domains and continuity of high grade phosphate in the regolith. Drilling was also completed on the eastern edge of the Resource where pit designs required definition.

This drilling has underpinned an updated Resource estimate totalling 524Mt at 0.31% TREO and 4.6% P2O5, including a higher-grade TREO Resource of 44Mt at 1.02% TREO and 5.8% P2O5 based on a 6,500ppm TREO cut. The updated Resource confirms Cummins Range’s status as Australia’s largest undeveloped rare earths deposit and the second-largest rare earths deposit overall, and makes Cummins Range a significant potential source of NdPr magnet and LFP battery quality phosphate in northern Western Australia.

Cummins Range is a unique rare earths project due to its favourable phosphate mineralisation, which makes peer comparison analysis difficult. The Project’s exposure to the two major sectors of the green energy transition - energy generation/use and energy storage - means the deposit underpins a rare project opportunity with reduced development and operational risk.

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, now classified by the Australian Federal Government as a Strategic Mineral[3] , will be mined with the rare earth mineral and RareX intends to extract value from both the phosphate and rare earths.

In the 2023 field season[4] an improved geological model was created, which defined several domains within the regolith that will allow accurate mining study work to be completed for the production of rare earths phosphate concentrate ( REPC ), potentially preceded by monetised rock phosphate direct shipping ore ( DSO ). Metallurgical studies[5] have shown lower grade rare earths and phosphate are easily upgraded to a high grade REPC. The rare earths can then be extracted from the REPC at a phosphoric acid production plant, potentially supplying the LFP (lithium ferro phosphate) battery supply chain[6] . Using this product approach allows RareX to extract the most value from the two commodities within the large Cummins Range resource.

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 which are being prepared for exploration in mid-2024[7] .

In April 2023, RareX announced an MRE which included drilling from 2020-2022. This 2024 updated Resource includes an additional 50 drill holes that were drilled in 2023 for a total of 4,451m, including five diamond drill holes into the Rare Dyke and the Phos Dyke, and 45 RC holes into the Phos Dyke. Collar details and significant intercepts are shown in Tables 5, 6 and 7.

An enhanced Scoping Study was announced in August 2023[8] , which outlined a staged approach to phosphate and REPC production delivering an economically robust project, which would be viable even in current rare earth pricing scenarios in part due to the phosphate content contained within a clean apatite mineral.

The additional value of the phosphate significantly enhances the economics of the Project considering the pervasive occurrence of the mineral apatite throughout the 2km x 2km pipe and the ease of processing.

Subsequent to the enhanced Scoping Study, RareX has signed terms sheets to de-risk the bulk supply chain, including with Newhaul for product haulage services, MudArk for 4Ha of land adjacent to the bulk loading facility (BLF) at Wyndham Port, and with KMG, the owner of the BLF, for loading capacity[9] . These terms sheets provide for accurate cost modelling, with the negotiation of long form binding operational contracts now underway. An MOU is also in place with Agrimin (ASX: AMN) to collaborate on product haulage, port handling and transshipment facilities.

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, on a mostly sealed highway. The Kimberley Port Authority has applied for Wyndham Port to be licenced as a port of first entry.

RareX Chief Executive Officer, James Durrant, said: “The Resource is now well defined in the early pit shell giving us confidence in our metallurgical and economic modelling – critical for a rare earth project. Near term drilling at Cummins Range can now focus on the potential presence of a nearby carbonatite cluster which, if appropriately mineralised, has the potential to contribute to higher project valuations from either scale or mine life.

“I would like to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of the RareX team under the leadership of our Exploration Manager, Guy Moulang, in safely and cost effectively delivering improved Resource definition to what remains Australia’s largest undeveloped rare earths project by contained tonnes of rare earths, and what is shaping up to be one of Australia’s most capitally efficient and lowest operating cost rare earths developments.

“We look forward to continuing to de-risk the project though the next milestones of offtake, definitive engineering and project approvals, which we’re confident will occur in parallel with a recovery in rare earth prices from their current unsustainable levels.”

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. The Tanami upgrade will help RareX develop steady-state operations throughout the year, in particular, during the wet season.

The first ten-kilometre section of Tanami Road has been sealed and is now open to traffic, Construction and sealing of the 41km section, through the hills south of Great Northern Highway, is continuing and planned to be completed in 2024/25. Detailed road design for the next 73km of road to Wolf Creek Crater is continuing along with preliminary road design for a further 45 kilometres of road to Billiluna and work to secure the remaining Environmental and Heritage Approvals. Heritage surveys by Jaru Traditional Owners for the first 114km of road and materials sources to 60km mark have been largely completed, and further environmental surveys are progressing. Development of concept designs for the remaining 200km of road to the Northern Territory Border has commenced[10] .

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 is working through the process with the Commonwealth Government for Wyndham Port to be licensed as a port of first entry, setting the scene for a strategic upgrade of this important piece of infrastructure, which is already powered by hydro-electricity.

Rare Dyke and Phos Dyke Resource

RareX engaged ERM 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.

ERM 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

  • an enhanced Scoping Study was completed in August 2023 (ASX release: 22 August 2023), which outlines an open cut mine and flotation beneficiation facility at site producing a phosphate mineral concentrate and a rare earth-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, 700m 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 ).

Large volumes of apatite rich phoscorite surround the Phos Dyke with consistent low grade rare earths in the form of monazite. Many of the 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 2022-23 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.

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 2023 drill season RareX increased the SG measurements in the regolith profile by 325% using the Archimedes Method. A total of 1236 SGs have been 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 6 below summarises the SG values applied in the mineral resource estimate.

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[11] . 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[12] . The phosphate flotation of the Phos Dyke materials showed reasonable TREO recoveries of >60%. A bulk flotation was also completed on the Phos Dyke regolith composite and showed similar results with slightly improved grades and recoveries[13] .

Phosphate flotation testwork on the overall regolith zone started in late 2022 and is currently in progress. Testwork to date mainly included collector screening, gangue mineral depression, desliming and magnetic separation and were conducted on regolith composite representing ROM typical grades. The composites were created with material from both Rare and Phos dykes. To date of reporting, limited testing on the overall regolith material has been reported upon and is subject to ongoing testing.

Bioavailability tests of phosphate samples are up to 5 folds the industry high bioavailability standard indicating the potential to produce direct shipping ore and phosphate mineral concentrate[14] . DSO samples were also analysed for deleterious elements such as cadmium (Cd), fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl) and lead (Pb) which were all well below industry limits.

Preliminary refining testwork are also carried out on flotation concentrates and mainly included apatite leach and rare earth extractions. Testwork carried out on the Rare Dyke material showed good amenability to conventional methods which demonstrated good rare earth extraction and impurity removal.

Apatite leaching testwork on combined apatite and monazite concentrates showed high apatite dissolution and low gangue elements dissolutions hence very pure leach liquor that is believed suitable for processing into purified phosphoric acid (PAP) for LFP applications. The results also showed high TREE (total rare earth element) recovery of 90% to the residue, suggesting that very little monazite was solubilised allowing the majority of the RE to be maintained in the leach residue[15] .

Further mineralogy analysis on the leach residue confirmed mineralogy to the initial head sample, suggesting the RE minerals remain intact during the dilute acid leach step. The acid leaching also improved the monazite liberation according to the mineralogy results. This result is well aligned to RareX expectations and further supports the proposed product processing strategy[16] at the offtaker’s facility. The similar mineralogy and the improved RE mineral liberations provide further confidence to RareX that a >30% RE concentrate can be produced from the leach residue suitable for typical RE refineries[17] .

Estimation methodology

Drill samples were composited to 1 m intervals and a geostatistical analysis of the phosphate ( P2O5 ) and rare earth oxides ( REO ) was carried out by geological domain. A block model with primary cell dimensions 12.5 m (N) by 12.5 m (E) by 5 m (Z) was created and composited sample grades were interpolated into the blocks using either ordinary kriging or inverse distance weighting, with the geological domains controlling the grade interpolation. A minimum of 8 and maximum of 16 samples were used to interpolate sample grades, with three grade estimation passes used to ensure all blocks were interpolated.

Bulk density values were assigned to the lithological, weathering and geochemical domains, based on 1,236 density measurements using the Archimedes water displacement method, from billets of diamond core. The following density values were assigned:

  • Weathering zones: Completely weathered (1.93 t/m[3] ), Pan (2.51 t/m[3] ), Strongly Weathered (2.2 t/m[3] ), Moderately Weathered (2.5 t/m[3] ) and Weakly Weathered (2.71 t/m[3] )

  • Geochem domains: Phoscrete (2.33 t/m[3] ), Apatite (2.23 t/m[3] ), Apatite Low Grade (1.96 t/m[3] ), Ferricrete and Silcrete (2.22 t/m[3] ), Magnesium depletion (Karstic) domain (1.97 t/m[3] )

  • Primary zone lithologies: Carbonatite (2.98 t/m[3] ), Pyroxenite (3.13 t/m[3] )

The block model was validated by using swath plots, comparison of mean grades from the block model and drill samples, to confirm that the sample grades were interpolated as intended, and the density values correctly assigned.

Mineral Resource Classification

The Mineral Resource has been classified as a combination of Indicated and Inferred, 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 50 m (easting) x 50 m (northing) drill spacing.

Greater than 85% of the reported Mineral Resource sits within the Inferred category, and the majority of these tonnes are located in the pyroxenite and carbonatite zones located in the primary (fresh) rock zone. A sufficient number of diamond and RC drill holes were drilled deep (up to 600 m vertical depth) into the primary zone, with drill spacing of approximately 100 m x 100 m. The Competent Person considers that geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade continuity based on this drill spacing. The Inferred Mineral Resource volumes have not been extrapolated beyond the limits of the drill holes.

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

  • an enhanced Scoping Study was completed in August 2023 (ASX release: 22 August 2023), which outlines an open cut mine and flotation beneficiation facility at site producing a phosphate mineral

concentrate and a rare earth-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 2023, an aerial magnetics and ground gravity survey was completed over the Cummins Range tenements. Valuable definition across numerous anomalies was captured and will aid in the 2024 exploration program. A summary of the geophysics was released on the ASX in November (ASX release: 13[th] November 2023). RareX believes there are several suitable environments for further metal accumulation in RareX tenements and look forward to locating additional near mine tonnes. Magnetics and gravity images are shown in Figures 6 and 7.

About RareX Limited – ASX: REE

RareX Limited (ASX: REE), a Perth based project development and exploration Company, was founded on the fundamental belief of the electronics revolution and the electric vehicle mega-trend. Our focus is rare earths and associated battery and electronic metals.

Cummins Range, in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, is our flagship project which aims to produce a sustainable, ethical, transparent and secure low carbon rare earth and phosphate supply chain solution for its products which satisfy the two global mega-trends of population growth and electrification.

RareX maintains exploration upside programs in the immediate vicinity of the Cummins Range Project and also more broadly to identify targets and progress projects complementary to the founding beliefs and expertise of the core team.

Rare earths and in particular, NdPr, are core enablers of decarbonisation and electrification of our society. NdPr supports high strength magnets which enables low carbon technologies, especially in the electric mobility sector, robotics solutions and renewable energy, particularly the wind energy sector.

Phosphate is the feedstock for the emerging dominant battery technology; lithium-ferro-phosphate (LFP). The global LFP battery market is projected to grow from $10 billion in 2021 to $50 billion by 2028 as more EVs adopt the safer and longer life technology and grid stabilization batteries expand to balance intermittent renewable generation.

RareX maintains material investments in Kincora Copper (ASX:KCC), Cosmos Exploration (ASX:C1X) and Canada Rare Earth Corporation (LL.V).

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

Navigator
Resources

148
AC
holes
(4,510 m), 93 reverse circulation holes (RC)
(9,293 m). Holes drilled 60° towards south, 40 m
spacing.

Kimberley Rare Earths (2012), 77 RC holes
(4,229 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 carbonatite pipe.

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

RareX (2023), 45 RC (3,978 m), 5 DD (472.7 m).

Navigator Drilling NRC001-NRC0093 (drilled in
2007); 4 m composite spear samples were taken
and assayed. 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.

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 – entire Bulk samples were
split down into 1-4 m composites using a 50/50
or 75/25 rife splitter.
o
CRX0071-CRX0149 – 7% cone split from the drill
rig was used for 1-4 m composites. Composite
samples were combined using a 50/50 rife
splitter.

o
CDX0001-CDX0052 - 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 portion of drill core was always
sampled relative to the orientation line or cut line.
o
All RareX, Kimberley Rare Earth and rare earth
mineralised samples from Navigator were taken
using the cone splitter on the drill rig or a rife
splitter.
o
Mineralisation in the regolith was established
using a portable X-Ray Fluorescence analyser
(pXRF).
o
Fresh rock mineralisation is coarse grained and
easily identifable.
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 circulation (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 initial 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 formations
at depth exceeding 40m. Difcult drilling conditions
including binding clays, voids and water fow in
several holes.

The 2020 infll drill program (RareX) involved drilling
between historic drillholes to test continuity of
grade. The program used a larger and more capable
rigwhich resulted ingood recoveries in most of the

drilling with an averaged of greater than 90%
sample recovery.

The cyclone was cleaned after every 3 m 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.

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

There is no relationship between RC or diamond
drilling recovery and grade.

announced a resource estimate in 2008. Kimberley

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 mafc
to ultramafc rocks with later carbonatite intrusions.
The primary ultramafc and carbonatite 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
apatite is through all rock types and is also
contained in phoscorite. Above the carbonatite
dykes is a well-developed regolith profle that
extends to 100 m below the surface where a
combination 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 Apatite and
Monazite. The Apatite contains low UTh, no
cadmium and chlorine, and elevated levels of Fl that
are well below acceptable limits.

QEMSCAN and MicoXRF have showed the REO in
the Regolith are deporting mostly to monazite, with
lesser
amounts

Where aggregate intercepts

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 2.5% P2O5 was used
for the phosphate intercepts with a maximum
of 10m dilution. The cut off grade and dilution
are thought to be appropriate due to likely

include silcrete, Mg-depletion and high phosphate
zones.

The primary zone comprises clino-pyroxenite and

interpolation for P2O5within the Phoscrete zone,
and 60 m x 60 m x 60 m within the Apatite zone,
which host the highest grade P2O5population in the
Mineral Resource. A search ellipse of 170 m (X) by
170 m (Y) by 170 m (Z) was used to select samples
for grade interpolation for the REOs within the
Phoscrete
zone.
Search
ellipse
radii
were
determined
from
variogram
ranges,
and
appropriate radii were determined for the other
domains. A spherical search was adopted as a
solution to eliminating some validation issues
which were noted after using anisotropic search
ellipses.
The
geometry
of
the
Leapfrog
geochemical models required an isotropic sample
search to be used.
Blocks within the regolith zone were interpolated
using inverse distance weighting method, with a
power of 1 used. Samples selected within the
search ellipse are inversely weighted according to
their distance from the block centroid, and a power
of 1 was used to allow for more smoothing than a
higher power would provide.
Blocks within the Primary weathering zone were
interpolated using ordinary kriging.
A minimum of 8 and maximum of 16 samples were
used per block estimate. Search ellipse radii were
increased when needed to ensure all blocks were
interpolated. A maximum of 4 samples per drill hole
were allowed to be selected for each block
interpolation. Parent cells were interpolated and
their grades were assigned to the sub-cells.
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,

mineral (Monazite). The REO’s have very similar
variogram models, and assumptions were made
regarding common search ellipse radii and other
interpolation parameters.

The block model was validated visually, by swath
plots of selected REO’s and P2O5, and comparing
the mean block and sample grades per domain.
Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated on
a dry basis or with natural moisture, and
the method of determination of the
moisture content.

Tonnages are reported on a dry basis.
Cut-off
parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off
grade(s) or quality parameters applied.

To delineate the phosphate and rare earths
resource a 2.5% P2O5cut-off grade was used. All
lower
grade
phosphate
mineralisation
is
accompanied by rare earths minerals. Phosphate
and rare earths minerals are easily upgraded at
Cummins Range using conventional benefciation
methods. Similar cut-off grades have also been
used for the reporting of other Phosphate Mineral
Resources.
Mining
factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible
mining methods, minimum mining
dimensions and internal (or, if
applicable, external) mining dilution. It
is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic
extraction to consider 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.

An Enhanced Scoping Study was completed in
2023 (ASX release, 22ndAugust, 2023). This
Scoping Study was completed on the April 2023
Mineral Resource of 519 Mt @ 0.32% TREO and
4.6% P2O5. The key project fnancial metrics were
positive, and the preferred development path was
to establish an open cut mine with a 3 stage
approach. This staged approach starts with Stage
1 phosphate DSO, Stage 2 benefciation of regolith
ore to produce a rare earths phosphate concentrate
and
Stage
3
benefciation
of
fresh
rock
mineralisation to create a rare earths phosphate
concentrate. Flotation benefciation will be used to
upgrade the ore to mineral concentrate which is
trucked along mainly sealed roads to Wyndham
Port. Stage 2 and 3 mineral concentrate will be
shipped to a third party phosphoric acid facility
where a clean phosphate liquor and a rare earths
rich residue is formed.

Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
The basis for assumptions or
predictions regarding metallurgical
amenability. It is always necessary as
part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider
potential metallurgical methods, but the
assumptions regarding metallurgical
treatment processes and parameters
made when reporting Mineral
Resources may not always be rigorous.
Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the
basis of the metallurgical assumptions
made.

Phosphate fotation test on weathered and fresh
rock material has produced concentrate grades of
>39% P2O5with >80% recovery.

A clean phosphate liquor and monazite dominated
rare earths residue can be formed from a weak
phosphoric acid leach of a phosphate-rare earths
concentrate.

Test work is currently assessing the suitability of
the clean phosphate liquor for LFP batteries.

Rare earth benefciation of the leach residue will be
tested at Baotou Mengrong Fine Materials (BTMR).

BTMR have demonstrated a 20x upgrade of TREO
from 1% head-grade composite from combined
Rare and Phos Dykes.

Bioavailability tests of phosphate samples are up
to 4 x the industry standard bioavailability
indicating the potential to produce direct shipping
ore and phosphate mineral concentrate.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible
waste and process residue disposal
options. It is always necessary as part
of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider the
potential 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 the
environmental assumptions made.

The Cummins Range Project is located on the
northern edge of the Great Sandy Desert on fat
terrain with no major drainages for kilometres in all
directions.

Baseline studies have commenced with the
instalment of 14 water monitoring bores in 2022.

Assessment for stygofauna has been completed
with no fauna found.

Flora and fauna studies over the mining lease
applications are complete.

Underground water in the project area is fresh and
will be used for processing. Potential water sources
will be assessed in 2024.

RareX have been working under a radiation
management plan and background levels have
been established using environmental dosimeters.
Radiation is continually monitored through all
exploration programs.
Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If
assumed, the basis for the
assumptions. If determined, the method
used, whether wet or dry, the frequency

Bulk densities were determined using the water
displacement method, with diamond core billets
used based on 1,236 density measurements.

of the measurements, the nature, size
and representativeness of the samples.
The bulk density for bulk material must
have been measured by methods that
adequately account for void spaces
(vugs, porosity, etc.), moisture and
differences between rock and alteration
zones within the deposit.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density
estimates used in the evaluation
process of the different materials.

The following means were calculated from the
main modelled data:

Weathering
zones:
Completely
weathered
(1.93 t/m3), Pan (2.51 t/m3), Strongly Weathered
(2.2 t/m3), Moderately Weathered (2.5 t/m3) and
Weakly Weathered (2.71 t/m3).

Geochem domains: Phoscrete (2.33 t/m3), Apatite
(2.23 t/m3),
Apatite
Low
Grade
(1.96 t/m3),
Ferricrete and Silcrete (2.22 t/m3), Magnesium
depletion (Karstic) domain (1.97 t/m3).

Primary zone lithologies: Carbonatite (2.98 t/m3),
Pyroxenite (3.13 t/m3).

The bulk density mean values were assigned to the
corresponding lithological domain codes in the
block model.
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
combination 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
continuity within the volumes classifed as
Indicated. The classifcation 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 50 m x 50 m drill
spacing, and Inferred covers volumes with up to
100 m by 100 m drill spacing.

Mineral Resource classifcation was applied to the
block model using a cookie cutter approach, with
polygons digitised around drill samples from the
regolith domains and using ‘slope of regression’
outputs (using values of >0.7 for Indicated) from
the P2O5kriging to guide the limits of the polygon.
Drill spacing was the primary guide for determining
the classifcation boundaries.

Solid wireframe models were built capturing
Indicated and Inferred volumes for the Primary
zones,which were added to the block model and

classifcation.

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 ERM.
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.
These statements of relative accuracy
and confidence of the estimate should
be compared with production data,
where available.

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

Relevant tonnages and grade above nominated cut-
off grades for P2O5are provided in the introduction
and body of this report. Tonnages were calculated
by fltering all blocks above the cut-off grade and
sub-setting the resultant data into bins by
mineralisation domain. The volumes of all the
collated blocks were multiplied by the dry density
value to derive the tonnages.

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