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
