ASX Announcement
Option Secured for Transformational Future Metals Project
-
Option agreements executed for East Ponton Future Metals Project, consisting of the Grasshopper and Seven Sisters prospects approximately 220km east of Kalgoorlie, WA.
-
Tenement package highly prospective for Rare Earth Elements (REE), Lithium and Gold.
-
Prospects located approximately 40km from known REE carbonatite discoveries.
-
Adjacent and proximal to some of Australia’s highest grade rare earth carbonatite drill intersections ever discovered: including 16m @ 14.48% TREO, 28m @ 10.50% TREO (including 6m @ 20.57% TREO) drilled at Ponton Dyke.

Regener8 Resources NL (ASX: R8R) ( Regener8 or the Company ) is excited to announce the Company has entered into two option agreements with Beau Resources Pty Ltd ( Option Agreements ), pursuant to which the Company has secured options to acquire potentially transformative exploration tenements of the Grasshopper and Seven Sisters prospects, collectively named the East Ponton Future Metals Project . The key terms of the Option Agreements are summarised in the Annexure to this announcement.
The tenements are located approximately 220km east of Kalgoorlie and are proximal to each other ( Figure 1 ).

Of significance, the Grasshopper and Seven Sisters prospects are located 40 to 43km south-east of known REE-bearing carbonatites, including the Cundeelee Intrusion and Ponton Dyke ( Figure 2 ). Drilling of these targets was undertaken in the 1980’s (Cundeelee – WAMEX report A21981, Union Oil Development Corporation 1987) and mid 1990’s (Ponton – WAMEX report A43112, Herald Resources 1994).
Both of these prospects are located inside the Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserve ( Figures 2 & 3 ) which prohibits disturbance of the ground or vegetation, thus restricting further exploration or development of these highly prospective targets.
Importantly, the Grasshopper and Seven Sisters tenements are located outside the Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserve but within the same geological domain as both the Cundeelee Intrusion and Ponton Dyke.

In 1998, BHP described the Cundeelee Intrusion as the largest, effectively untested carbonatite in the world (Wamex report A56942, BHP 1998). This intrusion lies under up to 500m of younger cover, which has prevented thorough exploration.

The nearby Ponton Dyke was most recently held by Galaxy Resources Ltd (subsequently merged with Orocobre Limited (ASX:ORE, TSX: ORL)) and presented outstanding results from historical drilling and assays including[1] ( Figures 3 & 4 ):
-
16m @ 14.48% TREO (PN03A)
-
28m @ 10.50% TREO including 6m @ 20.57% TREO (PN10A)
-
26m @ 6.99% TREO from surface including 8m @ 13.12% TREO (PN09A)

Regener8 considers the Grasshopper and Seven Sisters tenements to be highly prospective for rare earth elements with additional prospectivity for lithium and gold.
These opportunities were identified by experienced prospectors, Drew Money (of Beau Resources Pty Ltd) and Ross Chandler, both of which have demonstrable prospect through to discovery credentials. Drew Money was instrumental in project generation of numerous discoveries including Dreadnought Resources Ltd’ emerging Orion discovery at Tarraji-Yampi project and Money Intrusion at its Mangaroon project. Ross Chandler (PhD candidate at ANU) has substantial expertise in REE deposits, the occurrence and formation of which is part of his research and he was involved in the early discovery stages of Dreadnought Resources Ltd’ Yin REE deposit (Inferred + Indicated Resource of 20.06Mt @ 1.03%TREO[2] ).

Ross has committed to support Regener8 with future technical assistance associated with the exploration of the East Ponton Future Metals Project on a consulting basis.
Managing Director of Regener8, Stephen Foley, comments:
“We’re excited to secure the opportunity to investigate these tenement packages which could be transformational for the Company. The prospects are complementary to our existing gold asset, and provide substantial scale, diversity and allows Regener8 to lean into commodities required for a low carbon future. This dovetails with the Company’s intrinsic approach of placing climate and country front of mind.
Being in the neighbourhood of some of the highest grade (and never followed up) rare earth intersections ever found in Australia presents fantastic blue-sky potential, coupled with prospectivity for lithium and gold provides excellent diversity. Additionally, the tenements located out of the nature reserve means on-ground exploration is not subject to restrictions of neighbouring carbonatite discoveries.
We thank Drew and Ross for the opportunity and look forward to working with them and stakeholders over the near term to navigate the potential of the area.”

About Regener8 Resources NL
Regener8 Resources Kookynie Project is located in the Kookynie district of Western Australia, approximately 150km north of Kalgoorlie and 55km south of Leonora. This historically productive region has produced over 500,000oz* and has undergone a revival of activity in recent years, with encouraging resource growth and exploration results by neighbours such as Genesis Minerals, Iris Metals, Carnavale Resources and Metallicity.
Regener8 intends to investigate its underexplored tenements located in the heart of this district, with a view to adding value, whilst traversing lightly on country and in a climate sensitive manner.
