Engage with this announcement at the RareX investor hub .

Highlights

Mt Mansbridge exploration commences – priority project:

  • New HRE Quartz Breccia vein discovered at Mt Mansbridge South

  • HRE mineralisation confirmed with pXRF

  • Rock chips and soil sample assays pending

  • Further geochemical vectoring required before drilling commences

Khaleesi strategic exploration consolidation

  • New tenement pegged over highly prospective magnetic feature at Khaleesi

  • 2 low prospectivity tenements dropped

Cummins Range Exploration

  • Gallium re-assaying to continue

  • Preparations underway for updated mineral resource estimate to focus on high grade rare earths, gallium and scandium

  • Near mine exploration drilling postponed to focus on HRE exploration

Piper Project

  • Liaising with Central Land Council to advance negotiations

RareX Limited (ASX: REE – RareX , or the Company ) is pleased to announce that in the first few days of exploration on the Mt Mansbridge Project, a 70m heavy rare earth bearing quartz breccia vein was located, confirming the fertility of the basement rocks in the project and RareXploration’s geological model.

RareXploration is RareX’s exploration-focussed subsidiary.

Managing Director and CEO, James Durrant, commented “The RareXploration team made a productive start on the Mt Mansbridge HRE project with the first xenotime mineralised vein located on the Project in 40 years. Heavy Rare Earth elements are at the top of the critical minerals list and, as the energy transition accelerates and demand for consumer electronics continues rising, dysprosium and terbium have become bottleneck materials essential for enabling the miniaturization, efficiency gains, and thermal stability required in next-generation technologies. The Project will continue to be assessed over the next month with boots on the ground to finalise the plan for drill testing.”

Mt Mansbridge

Mt Mansbridge is one of only a few hard rock xenotime exploration projects in Australia. It is located within the Paleoproterozoic basement rocks of the Kimberley region, Western Australia.

The Project lies 45km from Northern Minerals’ Browns Range Project, which hosts 11.7 Mt at 0.77% TREO (86% HREE)[1] within Paleoproterozoic basement rocks and at unconformity contacts. Mt Mansbridge shares a similar geological setting to Browns Range. The HREE fertility of the basement rocks at Mt Mansbridge was first confirmed in the 1980s through the discovery of a xenotime-bearing quartz vein at Sigma within the basement Killi Killi Formation.

Subsequent explorers conducted rock chipping, soil sampling, and spectrometer surveys, though with limited exploration success. In 2022, Red Mountain Mining drilled six holes at the Sigma Prospect,[2] returning a best intersection of 16 m at 0.28% TREO, including a higher-grade portion of 4 m at 0.48% TREO, with 1 m at 1.06% TREO. The average MREO content was 28% and is composed of 10% DyTb and 18% NdPr.

RareXploration secured 217km[2] of tenure over Mt Mansbridge in 2020–24, based on the belief that the Sigma Prospect demonstrates that HREE enriched fluids have circulated through the Paleoproterozoic basement rocks in the project area. It is considered likely that additional mineralised horizons remain undiscovered within the Mt Mansbridge Project.

In June 2025, exploration commenced with an infill soil and prospecting program around the Sigma Prospect and along strike on the western edge of the Mt Mansbridge unconformity (Figure 1). The aim of the infill soils program is to verify and enhance the interpretation of historical geochemical results. Assay results from this work are expected in late July.

The terrain around the Sigma Prospect is rugged and undulating, with good outcrop exposure. Prospecting at Sigma identified the mineralised horizon as hematitic-rare earth bearing quartz veins within a 150 m structural corridor that crosscuts steeply dipping fabrics in the basement rocks. While no mineralisation was observed in outcrop along strike from this vein, historical soil data suggest the potential for additional veins. The current soil program will help confirm this.

Other areas on the tenement were also prospected, including Mt Mansbridge South (Figure 1), where a 0.5m silicified siltstone outcrop historically returned assays of 1552 ppm Yttrium[3] . The RareXploration team located the outcrop and, through further prospecting, identified a 70 m hematitic quartz vein bearing HREEs. The vein crops out intermittently along strike and ranges in width from 0.2 to 1 m.

The quartz vein is crackle-brecciated and contains a hematitic assemblage with HREE mineralisation. Portable XRF (pXRF) spot analyses of the vein returned values exceeding 1% yttrium. It is important to note that pXRF spot readings are not assay results, but rather rapid, indicative analyses of small sample areas. While pXRF readings provide a useful indication of mineral content and approximate grades, they are not a substitute for laboratoryderived assay grades and will not be used in any resource estimation. Nonetheless, the pXRF results suggest the vein is mineralised, and rock chip samples have been collected. Laboratory assay results are expected in approximately 4-6 weeks. This is the first vein discovery at Mt Mansbridge in 50 years and supports RareXploration’s belief that the project has the geological ingredients to host a significant HREE deposit.

Over the coming months, the RareXploration team will continue systematic prospecting and apply geochemical vectors to assess the basement rocks for further HREE mineralisation, with the aim of drill testing targets later in the year.

Cummins Range

The Cummins Range deposit is an important asset for RareX, containing a high-grade resource of 44Mt at 1% TREO[4] . RareX is continuing to advance the project on multiple fronts.

RareX and the Jaru have agreed in principle to a long-form Mining and Heritage Protection Agreement, which is expected to ultimately result in the granting of a mining lease.

RareX was awarded $40,000 under Round 29 of the 2024–25 Exploration Incentive Scheme to test northern magnetic targets through the drilling of two deep RC holes. Unfortunately, the grant was allowed to lapse due to a strategic decision to prioritise exploration at our heavy rare earth project.

Re-assaying of historical pulps for gallium at the Cummins Range deposit is ongoing, and the gallium potential will be assessed, and included in a reinterpretation of the mineral resource estimate, once all the results from the 2020 infill drilling program become available.

Khaleesi

Khaleesi is a large and perspective alkaline intrusive complex, under varyable cover, and with multiple cross cutting deep faults and geophysical targets. 20 years of exploration from major companies has been focused on the cover sequences with highly perspective basement rocks remaining thoroughly under-explored. The Project contains compelling indications of significant gold, copper, niobium, rare earth and gallium mineralisation.

Since acquisition RareX has executed land access and heritage agreements with neighbours and traditional owners respectively.

RareX was recently awarded a drilling grant from Round 30 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme. The Khaleesi Project was awarded 50% of all drilling costs up to $180,000 to target multiple rare earths and gallium targets. RareX has until the end of May 2026 to complete the drilling and is currently seeking partners to support the drilling campaign as an option to accelerate exploration.

Granting of tenements E39/2415, E39/2410, and E39/2494 is expected in the coming months, with all objections resolved 3-months ago. Tenement E39/2504 was relinquished due to excessive heritage costs relative to its prospectivity.

The Red Dragon tenement (E39/2213) has also been dropped following confirmation that the large magnetic anomaly had already been drilled by BHP in 1983. The historical drill hole intersected banded iron formation from 412m depth and is not considered to have any exploitable potential.

A new tenement (Mingawal), E39/2554, comprising 16 blocks, has been pegged along the northern boundary of the Project. The tenement hosts a 6 km x 1 km magnetic gabbro, and historical aircore drilling has confirmed the gabbro is phosphatic. However, the intrusion has not been explored for critical metals with the exception of vanadium. The presence of phosphorus is significant, as it is needed for precipitation of rare earth minerals such as monazite and xenotime. RareX looks forward to assessing the gabbro for critical metals.

Piper Project (EL33674)

RareX is very excited to explore the Piper Project, a large magnetic bulls-eye anomaly along dual-strike of the Nolans Bore and Luni projects, and is currently awaiting the opportunity to negotiate a heritage agreement with the native title holders for the grant of EL33674.

An application for consent to grant Exploration Licence Application 33674 was submitted in September 2024. In late June 2025, the Central Land Council (CLC) acknowledged receipt of the application, and the standard negotiation period has now commenced.

It is now RareX’s responsibility to arrange a meeting with the traditional owners via the CLC. Despite having attempted to do so for many months, RareX has not yet been able to secure a meeting, and no timeframe has been provided for when one might occur. Discussions with other companies in the region suggest that this experience is not unique. RareX remains hopeful the matter can be resolved, as we are strong advocates for contributing to the communities in which we operate, through support for local businesses, job creation, and fair compensation.

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

Appendix 1: JORC Tables

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.

The 5 RC drill holes were drilled in 2022 and 2023. Assays
were for 1m intervals. There are no descriptions in the
annual report for sampling techniques. It is assumed they
were sampled to industry standards.

Northern Minerals collect a rock chip at Mt Mansbridge
South in 2011. Details on sample collection was not
described in the report. It is assumed that the sample was
representative as the outcrop was only 0.5 x 0.5m. details
are given in Annual Report A92909.

RareX completed 369 soil samples at three locations
around the Mt Mansbridge and Sigma prospects. There is
little to no regolith development in the sample areas.
Organic matter was scrapped away and a 10cm pit was dug
and sample was put through a 200micron mesh. Samples
were collected on a 100m x 20m grid. Assay results are
expected in 3-6 weeks

RareX collected 18 rock chips. Samples were selective from
all locations. Assays expected in 3-6 weeks.

Portable XRF (pXRF) spot analysis was taken on all rock
chips. The pXRF is a Niton XL5. The pXRF has been
serviced with in the last 12 months and standards are
analysed prior to use.
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.).

The 5 drill holes were drilled using an RC drill rig. No
descriptions of the drill rig are in the historical report.
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.

There are no descriptions of assessing chip sample
recoveries or results.

No measures were described in the historical reports
regarding maximising sample recovery

There are no details in the historical reports regarding the
relationship between sample recovery/grade and sample
bias

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 project is composed of 4 tenements, E80/5430,
E80/5942 and E80/5973 are granted and tenement
E80/6118 is pending.

Heritage agreements have been established on all granted
tenements and an agreement for E80/6118 is being
negotiated.

There are no known impediments on the tenements.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Numerous companies have conducted work on the Mt
Mansbridge project area including Sigma Resources, BHP,
Quantum Resources, Northern Minerals and Red
Mountain Mining. The main commodity of interest was
uranium and gold with a particular focus on unconformity
related U mineralisation. The most signifcant work
related to HRE exploration was completed by Sigma
Resources, Quantum Resources and Red Mountain
Mining.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The tenements are centered around an exposed dome of
Killi Killi Formation and Pargee Sandstone, part of the
Paleoproterozoic
Granites-Tanami
Complex.
The
northern, southern, and western edges of the dome have
an
unconformity
contact
with
the
surrounding
Paleoproterozoic Birrindudu Basin. In contrast, the
eastern contact is interpreted as a faulted boundary rather
than an unconformity contact.
Most of the Killi Killi Formation is covered by shallow (<10
m) Quaternary deposits, with patchy exposures primarily
located near unconformity contacts with the Birrindudu
Basin. Mt Mansbridge, situated on the eastern side of the
project area, is a mesa composed of the basal unit
Gardiner Sandstone from the Birrindudu Basin and is
surrounded by the Killi Killi Formation.
There

occurrences in the Kimberley-Tanami region: Browns
Range, John Galt, Killi Killi, and Mt Mansbridge. These
occurrences are distributed over a 300 km area and are all
associated with hydrothermal silica vein-hosted and/or
unconformity-related deposits.
The most signifcant occurrence in the region is the
Wolverine deposit at Browns Range,with a resource of

6.44 Mt at 0.96% TREO, 89% of which is HREO (30 June
2022 MRE). Deeper drilling conducted in 2022 extended
the mineralization to depths exceeding 500 m below the
surface, with notable intercepts of up to 28.6 m at 4%
TREO.
Drillhole
information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drillholes:
o easting and northing of the drillhole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
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 Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should clearly explain
why this is the case.

Drill hole details are in summarised in 18thSeptember
2024 ASX announcement –RareX review of Mt
Mansbridge shows promising HRE potential.
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.

Drill intercepts have been calculated using a weighted
average.

There are no metal equivalents
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, true width not known’).

Orientation of the mineralised horizon intersected in the
drilling has not been well defned. Further drilling is
required to establish whether the drill holes are true width
or not.

The true width of the drill intercepts are unknown.

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.

Relevant diagrams are presented in the body of this
report.

For further detail on exploration results see 18th
September 2024 ASX announcement –RareX review of
Mt Mansbridge shows promising HRE potential.
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.

Reported exploration results are 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.

The project is at early exploration phase. As more
information becomes available, RareX will report these
results.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
