Results to date indicate wide-spread allanite-hosted mineralisation, with a similar geological signature to American Rare Earths Limited (ASX:ARR) 2.63Bt @ 3,292ppm TREO Halleck Creek Project

This Pimenta Project highlights the exploration upside across Verity’s Brazilian critical minerals assets, with the potential to unlock additional value through systematic exploration advances.
Verity Resources Limited ( ASX:VRL , Verity or the Company ) is pleased to announce the commencement of an auger drilling program at its 70%-owned Pimenta REE-Ga-Ti Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The drill program follows recent reconnaissance work which confirmed widespread high-grade rare earth elements ( REE ), gallium ( Ga ), and titanium ( Ti ) mineralisation.
The Verity Board commented,
“ The commencement of auger drilling at Pimenta is an important milestone. Surface results confirm the presence of a widespread and high-grade REE-gallium-titanium system over a confirmed 20km of radiometric strike. This program will give us key insights into mineralisation continuity and depth

potential. With excellent surface results and strong geological context, Pimenta has the hallmarks of a significant critical metals discovery.
Whilst our key focus remains on the development of our Resource upgrade and expansion strategy at the Monument Gold Project, we are pleased to be in a position to have a second project of global strategic importance developing in the background with exceptional rare earths, gallium and titanium results to date. ”
The auger program will target two priority zones within a >20km airborne thorium anomaly, where surface sampling identified strong geochemical correlation and high concentrations of TREO, Ga₂O₃ and TiO₂. The campaign will consist of approximately 20 auger holes and is designed to test the vertical and lateral continuity of mineralisation within the saprolite zone.
Geological reconnaissance completed at the Project in early 2025 (refer Verity’s ASX release 29 April 2025) indicates that REE mineralisation is hosted in a medium-to coarse-grained granite basement, rich in allanite, a REE-bearing sorosilicate. Residual soils and saprolites derived from weathered granite show further enrichment, with a saprolite sample returning 2.6% TREO with an average of 25% proportion of high-value magnetic rare earths ( MREO ) across all 147 surface samples.

areas identified over anomalous strike zones (Target 1 and Target 2)
The sampling program returned soil samples up to 4,635ppm TREO, with an average of 2,006ppm TREO across 58 samples. Saprolite samples averaged 3,908ppm TREO, including the sample returning 25,817ppm TREO (2.6% TREO ) amd 9.26% TiO2, highlighting strong enrichment. Several rock sample assays also exceeded 3,000ppm TREO, comparable to grades seen in large-scale deposits. The geochemistry signature suggests allanite mineralisation, a REE-rich epidote group mineral resistant to weathering, leading to enrichment in overlying soils and saprolites.

Figure 2. Planned auger drill program at key targets identified over anomalous strike zones (Target 1 and Target 2)
A detailed aerogeophysical survey conducted by CODEMIG in 2011 identified strong thorium and uranium radiometric anomalies throughout the Project area (refer Figure 1 thorium radiometric image). These anomalies are spatially associated with the highest TREO values in soil and rock samples, supporting the hypothesis that allanite-rich granites are the primary source of REE mineralisation.
Across all samples, the proportion of high value magnet rare earth elements averaged 25% MREO/TREO.

These results to date confirm a mineralisation style potentially similar to the American Rare Earths Limited (ASX:ARR) Halleck Creek allanite REE deposit with 2.63Bt @ 3,292 ppm TREO Resource (Measured + Indicated + Inferred)[1] .
Importantly, the REE geochemical signature remains consistent between rock and regolith samples, supporting a model of vertical enrichment via residual weathering.
Further updates will be provided as drill results are received and interpreted.
About the Pimenta Project
The Pimenta Project is located in the well-established mining region of northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Project targets a large, granite-hosted REE system enriched in rare earth elements (REE) and critical accessory minerals including lithium (Li), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), and titanium (Ti), and gallium (Ga). The Project is centred on the Mesoproterozoic-age Santo Antônio do Jacinto Granite Complex, where allanite—a weathering-resistant REE-bearing mineral—hosts the majority of the rare earth mineralisation.
Early exploration has confirmed widespread, high-grade REE enrichment at surface, with saprolite samples returning up to 25,817 ppm TREO (2.6%) and soils up to 4,635 ppm TREO. The mineralisation is interpreted as residual, with consistent REE geochemistry between fresh granite and overlying regolith indicating limited mobility and favourable metallurgical properties. The geological setting, style of mineralisation, and grade profile are analogous to the Halleck Creek deposit being advanced by American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR). Additionally, widespread gallium has been identified from surface sampling up to 89g/t Ga2O3.
Importantly, the Project benefits from excellent infrastructure, with proximity to sealed roads, hydroelectric power, and an experienced local workforce.
