Growing the Resource
----- End of picture text -----
The unique geology at Cummins Range points to high-grade potential:
-
Carbonatite intrusive complex with REE mineralisation controlled by hydrothermal fluids
-
Historical drilling mostly orientated in the wrong direction
-
Recognition of high-grade main fault / breccia zone for the 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 underway – first time since 1982
Potential to grow the Resource significantly

Initial RC 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% Nb O 2 5
-
from 57m, including:
-
10m at 4.1% TREO and 0.75% Nb2O5
-
Secondary Zone – 28m at 0.8% TREO and 0.24% Nb2O5 (open at depth and down-dip)
Northern Fault discovered parallel to the Main Fault
Follow-up diamond drilling targeting depth extensions continuing
