Growing the Resource
----- End of picture text -----

Cummins Range unique geology points to high grade potential

  • Carbonatite intrusive complex with REE mineralisation controlled by hydrothermal fluids

  • Historic drilling mostly orientated in the wrong direction

  • Recognition of high grade main fault / breccia zone for first time provides for high grade depth potential

  • Possibility of multiple structures

  • 6,000m drill program underway

  • 2,000m of RC Drilling complete

  • 4,000m of Diamond drilling – first time since 1982

Potential to grow the resources significantly

Initial Results
----- End of picture text -----

First batch of assays confirm true width of the Main Fault to be >40m and identify new mineralised position, highlighting the deposit’s exceptional growth potential

  • CRX0063 intersects multiple mineralised zones, including:

  • Main Fault – 41m at 2.4% TREO and 0.51% Nb2O5 from 57m, including:

  • 10m 4.1% TREO and 0.75% Nb2O5

  • CDX0011 Intersects significant primary mineralisation – open down dip

Northern Fault discovered parallel to the Main Fault Follow-up diamond drilling targeting depth extensions continuing
