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

  • 5,272m drill program complete

  • 2,271m of RC Drilling complete

  • 3,001m of Diamond drilling – first time since 1982

Potential to grow the resources significantly

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 iterecets high grade primary mimerlisation including

  • 22m at 3.1% TREO and 0.2% Nb2O5

  • Inc; 3m at 10.6%TREO

  • CDX0012 and CDX0016 Intersects significant primary mineralisation – open down dip

  • Multiple stacked lodes emerging

Proof of High Grade primary rare earths and niobium mineralisation in CDX007

  • Primary Zone – 34.6m at 1.3% TREO and 0.4% Nb2O5 including 3.6m at 2.5% TREO and 0.7% Nb2O5

Strong economic drivers in the primary zone including

  • Good NdPr content up to 24% - comparable to Mt Weld

  • Strong Niobium by-product potential 0.4% average and high grade 0.7%
