APPROVALS PROGRESS AND INCREASED AREA 2 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

Key Highlights:

  • The Public Hearing of the Goschen Project’s Environment Effects Statement (EES) commenced on 25 March 2024.

  • The Area 2 Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) has increased as follows:

  • From 26.0 Millon tonne (Mt) (Indicated) to 81.3 Mt @ 3.16% Total Heavy Mineral (THM)

    • Indicated Mineral Resource 75.5 Mt @ 3.17% THM

    • Inferred Mineral Resource 5.7 Mt @ 3.06% THM

  • The additional Area 2 MRE lifts the Company’s total inventory tonnage by 6% to 892.1 Mt.

VHM Limited (“VHM” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Goschen Project's EES approvals progress and to provide an updated Inferred and Indicated MRE of 81.3 Mt @ 3.16% THM grade containing 2.6 Mt of in-situ Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) in Area 2.

Goschen Approvals Update

The Directions Hearing for the Goschen Project’s EES approvals process was held on Tuesday, 13 February 2024. The independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) appointed by the Victorian Planning Minister informed the representing parties of the agenda, and duration for the Public Hearing stage.

The Public Hearing stage commenced on Monday 25 March 2024 and will conclude on Tuesday 30 April 2024.

Upon completion of the Public Hearing the IAC has 40 business days to provide the Victorian Planning Minister with a recommendation on the Goschen Project.

AREA 2 Mineral Resource Estimate

The Area 2 MRE crosses over the Company’s retention licence (RL) 6806 and exploration licence (EL) 6419 (Figure 1). Area 2 was previously classified into two areas - Area 2 West, and Area 2 East with amalgamation of the two zones to form Area 2 for the Mineral Resource estimation.

Area 2 is located 3.5 kilometres (km) north west of the base plant (Area 1) for the proposed Goschen Rare Earths and Mineral Sands Project (Goschen).

The Mineral Resource estimate contains 65,000 tonnes of rare earths (TREO+Y), 0.5 Mt of zircon, 0.3 Mt of rutile and 0.2 Mt of leucoxene and increases the Company’s total inventory of TREO from 602,000 tonnes to 649,000 tonnes (Appendix 1, Table 1).

ABN 58 601 004 102 I Suite1, Level 11, 330 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000 I www.vhmltd.com.au

The MRE includes moderate to high-grade strand-like zones between 7m and 10m from surface and extends 2.6 km north-south and 3.5 km east-west and remains open in all directions.

The Area 2 West Resource was first estimated in 2019 and reported in the Company’s Prospectus 0F[1] . Area 2 East was drilled in 2019 1F[2] , however, the samples were stored and not submitted for assaying. Assay results and subsequent mineralogy composites were interpreted by independent consultant Right Solutions Australia, to combine the two adjacent resources into a single model to generate the revised and expanded resource estimate.

VHM Chief Executive Officer Ron Douglas said: “The addition of Area 2’s Mineral Resource estimate provides further upside for the Company’s Global Resources, and these results demonstrate the valuable characteristics of the rich mineralisation found in Victoria’s Murray-Darling Basin.”

“VHM’s primary focus is on taking Goschen through to development, so I am pleased the Panel Hearing for the Goschen Project’s Environment Effects Statement has now commenced and under the direction of an independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee.”

Appendix 2: Mineral Resource Estimate and Reporting Criteria

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.8 (Requirements applicable to reports of Mineral Resources for material mining projects) and the 2012 JORC reporting guidelines, information material to the Area 2 Mineral Resource estimate is summarised below. More detail is provided in the JORC Code (2012 Ed.) Appendix 3, Table 1, Sections 1 to 3.

Geology and geological interpretation

Regional geological setting

The Murray Basin underlies an area of 300,000 km[2] of north-western Victoria, south-eastern South Australia and south-western New South Wales and comprises flat, late Miocene to Pliocene, Epochaged sediments (Brown & Stephenson, 1991).

Accumulations of HMS are widespread over most of the Victorian portion of the Murray Basin. The upper sequences of the Murray Basin sediments, principally the Loxton Sand (formerly known as Loxton-Parilla Sand), are known to contain economic accumulations of HMS.

The Murray Basin is a large sedimentary basin that formed by subsidence occurring at the beginning of the Tertiary period. As global sea levels rose during the middle Tertiary, the basin was flooded to form what has been named the Murravian Gulf into which HMS was deposited by several paleo-river systems. These rivers transported sediments enriched with ilmenite, rutile, zircon, monazite and xenotime derived from weathering and erosion of Palaeozoic granites of the Lachlan Fold Belt, sandstone of the Mesozoic basins and rocks of the “Great Dividing Range”.

The distribution of the mineralisation within the Loxton Sand is controlled by the paleo-location of the various deltas/discharges of the Great Darling Anabranch, the Darling River, the Murray River, the Loddon River, the Glenelg River, and possibly other paleochannels, into the Murravian Gulf. The discharges zones were possibly controlled by movement of regional faults in the Cambro-Ordovician and Ordovician-aged metasediments that form the hard-rock basement of the Murray Basin.

The Area 2 Project area is interpreted to lie west of the Avoca Fault, within the Stawell structural zones. Basement rock within the Stawell Zone comprises Cambrian to Ordovician turbidites intruded by granites. The Stawell Zone extends west from the Avoca Fault to its western limit at the Moyston Fault.

The Cannie Fault, which extends northeast-southwest east of the Project area, is a small splay fault connecting the Avoca Fault in the eastern part VHM tenements to a second, north-westerly trending splay of the Avoca Fault. The Area 2 Project lies to the west of the Cannie Fault.

The Murray Basin formed as a result of ongoing regional extension which created the relatively shallow, saucer shaped depression of the Murravian Gulf. The gulf was open to the Southern Ocean which allowed for semi-continuous marine incursions and local oscillations in shoreline position during the Tertiary Period.

The HMS mineralisation of the Murray Basin is unique to the Loxton Sand unit as a result of deposition occurring during the break-up of Gondwana in the Cretaceous Period, which allowed for a sufficiently high-energy system and large supply of sediment for the concentrated strandlines to form.

The Loxton Sand unit includes the deposits derived from the bottom of the lower shoreface facies and the upper shoreface facies, i.e. the finer sand and silt deposited beyond the high-energy beach zone; the very coarse material from the breaker zone; the well-sorted, medium-grained material from the swash zone; and the supralittoral material, including dunes. The Bookpurnong Formation (formerly

7

the Bookpurnong beds), the Loxton Sand, and the Shepparton Formation were deposited contemporaneously and are lateral equivalents of a single “system” and, as such, it is difficult to distinguish between them in transitional zones.

The Murravian Gulf was dammed in the late Pleistocene by uplift of the Pinnaroo Block to the southwest of the depocenter of the basin. The restriction of the oceanic system changed the depositional environment of the basin to one dominated by lakes and rivers which allowed for the accumulation of fluvial sediments, primarily sand and clay. Later deposits of aeolian sand continue to cover the basin to this day.

Local geological setting

The heavy mineral sands at the Area 2 deposit are hosted within the offshore and near shore/marginal marine depositional paleo-environment of the Loxton Sands. The grain size of the Loxton Sands generally decreases with depth within Area 2. Five main strandlines have been interpreted in the middle to upper portions of the Loxton Sands and four sheet-like horizons of mineralisation within the lower portions of the Loxton Sands. The strandlines are known to develop by reworking of coastal sediments because of wave action while sheet deposits are associated with near-shore sediments.

Area 2 was previously classified into two areas, Area 2 West and Area 2 East with amalgamation of the two zones to form Area 2 during the mineral resource estimation.

Sampling and subsampling techniques

Drill samples were obtained at 1 m intervals generating approximately 8 kg of drill spoil that was then split down to approximately ~1200 to ~2500g by a riffle splitter for export to the primary analytical laboratory. The sub-split samples were labelled and bagged for transport to the primary laboratory for processing. All sample intervals and the correlating sample numbers were recorded digitally directly into the Company’s database.

The sampling method and sample size dispatched for processing is considered appropriate and reliable based on accepted industry practices and experience.

Drilling techniques

All drillhole and assay data were extracted from VHM’s MX Deposit database where it had been validated and stored to maintain data security.

A multi-staged drill program of 256 drillholes was conducted between March 2017 and April 2019 to determine the mineralisation within Area 2. Drilling was carried out by Wallis Drilling using a Mantis 80 mounted on a custom Land Cruiser six-wheel drive. Reverse circulation aircore was used to drill the Area 2 West Goschen deposit. Aircore is considered a standard mineral sands industry technique for evaluating heavy mineral mineralisation where the sample is collected at the drill bit face and returned inside an inner tube. The drill rods are 76 mm diameter (NQ) and 3 m in length. All holes were drilled vertically with majority of the samples downhole taken at 1 m intervals.

A regular rectangular grid spacing for the Area 2 deposit was on a spacing of 400 m in the north-south direction and with 50 m and 100 m stations to the east-west direction. The 400 m x 100 m spaced aircore holes and regular grid pattern are sufficient to provide a good degree of confidence in geological models and grade continuity within the holes. The 50 m spacing is within the western side of the deposit as a result of intersecting high-grade strandlines.

8

The criteria used for classification, including drill and data spacing and distribution – this includes separately identifying the drill spacing used to classify each category of mineral resources (inferred, indicated and measured) where estimates for more than one category of mineral resource are reported

Resource classification has been completed on a zone-by-zone basis where drill spacing and assay availability for THM, mineral assemblage and chemical analysis have been considered. Predominantly an indicated resource classification is applied for the entirety of the Zone where sufficient data is available. However, in some instances varied availability of data has required single zones to have mixed classifications including both indicated and inferred. Indicated and inferred zones have been created by digitising a polygon in Datamine and coding all blocks from that zone that share XY coordinates encapsulated within the polygon.

Sample analysis method

Sample Analysis–Diamantina Assay Method (static gravity drop heavy liquid separation)

Area 2 West samples were dispatched to Diamantina Laboratories (Diamantina) which followed the general assay process flow described as follows.

  • The samples selected for assay were received by Diamantina check-in process then oven dried at approximately 110°C until samples were completely dry.

  • Samples were then rotary split down to approximately ~100 g sub-splits (weighed and captured) with one sample then submitted to screening via vibrating deck screens with the application of water.

  • Every 25th sample was submitted to the same process as a laboratory repeat.

  • The wet screens used either a top screen of 1 mm (90% of all samples from Area 2 West sent to Diamantina) or a top screen of 2mm (10% of all samples from Area 2 West sent to Diamantina) and a bottom screen of 38 μm

  • Material captured by the upper screen (OS) and 38 μm (SAND) screens was individually captured, dried and weighed, whilst material passing through the 38 μm (SLIMES) screen was lost to wastewater systems.

  • The SAND fraction was analysed by static gravity assisted Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) using tetrabromoethane (TBE)

  • Four holes were completed with the following method however using 20 μm screens for the sand and slime fractions.

Sample Analysis–ALS Assay Method (centrifuge-assisted heavy liquid separation)

Samples were dispatched to ALS Global (ALS) Laboratories which followed the general assay process flow described as follows;

  • The samples selected for assay were received by ALS Laboratories check-in process then oven dried at approximately 110°C until samples were completely dry.

  • Samples were then riffled split down to approximately ~500 g sub-splits (weighed and captured) then soaked for 24 hours in 1% tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP – a dispersing agent used to help disaggregate clays).

  • Every 25th sample was submitted to the same process as a laboratory repeat.

9

  • The wet screens used a top screen of 1 mm and a bottom screen of 20 μm. After the first screening samples were subjected to a mechanical agitation (1% TSPP) for 5 minutes then re-screened for a second time.

  • Material captured by the upper screen and 20 μm (SAND) screens was individually captured, dried and weighed, whilst material passing through the 20 μm (SLIMES) screen was lost to wastewater systems.

  • The SAND fraction (1 mm to -20 µm) was split down to approximately ~100 g sub-splits for centrifuge assisted Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) using tetrabromoethane (TBE).

Mineral assemblage composites have been prepared for the Area 2 deposit by utilising both x-ray fluorescence (XRF), ICP-MS and QEMSCAN to define the mineralogy and chemistry as a proportion of the THM. All sample composites were selected exclusively by VHM and completed by ALS Global Perth.

  • The XRF technique provides measurements of relative elemental abundances (down to limits of a few parts per million) which allows for a quantifiable basis for determination of mineralogy, provenance, depositional environment, and diagenetic history. The XRF analysis was utilised to apply assay data to the geological model for grade interpretation.

  • The ICP-MS technique provides measurements of relative elemental abundances (down to limits of a few parts per million) that cannot be picked up using XRF techniques, which allows for a quantifiable basis for determination of mineralogy, provenance, depositional environment, and diagenetic history.

  • The QEMSCAN method of analysis, carried out using particle scale analysis, required the samples to be screened into +150 µm and -150 µm screen fraction prior to sample preparation and QEMSCAN analysis to give a quantitative understanding of the elemental composition and mineralogical assemblage. Screening the composite sample into two sub-samples, using a bottom screen of 150 µm ensures any segregation between coarse and fine particles during the setting of the resin for the polished section used for QEMSCAN analysis is managed.

Estimation methodology

A total of 256 drillholes were used for the Area 2 mineral resource estimate. Drillhole collars were all surveyed using RTK GNSS survey equipment to establish horizontal and vertical control to Map Grid of Australia Zone 54 and to the Australian Height Datum.

VHM generated a topographic DTM surface within Datamine using the surveyed drill collars from holes completed in the Area 2 Project. The generated topographic DTM surface was used for this Mineral Resource estimation.

Sampling and assaying were subjected to QAQC processes by VHM with the submission of field duplicates and standards and by ALS using internal duplicates and standards.

The rate of submission for company standards was 1:20 and for submitted field duplicates was 1:100. Field duplicates were taken at the frequency of 1:20 however due to the selective assay method, 1:100 were submitted to the laboratory. Both laboratories completed their internal QAQC checks including laboratory standards every 40th sample and a laboratory repeat every 25th sample prior to the results being released.

A majority of the standard samples submitted to the laboratory by VHM were within acceptable limits of +3SD however two standards fell outside tolerance (>3STD). These were reviewed and accepted based on surrounding standards and assays.

Ordinary Kriging estimation technique was used to interpolate THM, Slimes and OS grades from drill samples into the block model. Nearest neighbour techniques were used to interpolate mineral assemblage, rare earth elements, index values and non-numeric sample identification into the block model.

The mostly regular dimensions of the drill grid and the anisotropy of the drilling and sampling grid allowed the use of ordinary kriging and nearest neighbour methodologies as no de-clustering of samples was required.

Appropriate search ellipses were used to search for data for the interpolation and suitable limitations on the number of samples and the impact of those samples was maintained. The minor direction of 0.5 remained constant for all four search passes to control the distribution of grade in the vertical extent. Each zone was estimated with a directional search ellipse with varying search ranges over three search passes. The minimum number of samples required was three and the maximum was 16.

Area 2’s Mineral Resource estimate bulk density formula is described as:

  • Bulk Density = (0.009 * THM) + 1.698.

It is believed that the bulk density applied the MRE is conservative and fit for purpose at this level of confidence for the MREs and in line with VHM’s Area 1 MRE.

Cut-off grade(s), including the basis for the selected cut-off grade(s)

Grade cutting or capping was not used during the interpolation because of the regular nature of sample spacing and the fact that samples were not clustered nor wide spaced to an extent where elevated samples could have a deleterious impact on the resource estimation. Sample distributions were reviewed, and no extreme outliers were identified either high or low that necessitated any grade cutting or capping.

Cut-off grade for TVHM (THM x VHM) was used to prepare the reported resource estimates. A 1% TVHM cut-off grade was selected for reporting the resource estimate following visual validation through spatial positioning of the grade interpolation at varying cut-offs and is in line with the previous IHC Robbins 2019 MRE for Area 2 West. The reporting of the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource refers to a global estimate for the Area 2 deposit.

Mining and metallurgical methods and parameters, and other material modifying factors considered to date

No specific mining method is assumed other than potentially the use of dry mining methods.

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling
(e.g. cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30
g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g., submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Aircore drilling, commenced on 25 November 2017 and
completed on 2 April 2019, was used to obtain 1m sample
intervals.
The following information covers the sampling process:
•each 1 m sample is homogenized within the bag by
manually rotating the sample bag.
•The large 1m Aircore drill samples were split down to
approximately ~1000 to ~2500g by rotary splitter for
export to the primary analytical laboratory.
•a sample of sand, approximately 20g, is scooped from
the sample bag for visual THM% and SLIMES%
estimation and logging. The same sample mass is
used for every pan sample for visual THM% and
SLIMES% estimation.
•The standard sized sample of approximately 20g is to
ensure calibration is maintained for consistency in
visual estimation.
•Downhole geophysical surveys were conducted to
utilise gamma signatures for ascertaining
mineralisation zones within the lithological sequence.
•Duplicates were taken at the drill rig from side‐by‐side
sample locations at a rate of ~1 in 20.
•Duplicates were taken within mineralisation zones as
the waste material was excluded from sampling.
•Commercially obtained standards were inserted by the
laboratory at a rate of ~ 1 in 40.
•The laboratory sample was oven dried at 105 degrees
for a minimum of 2 hours (and then redried for up to
12 hours if required), and split down to 100 g sub
samples via a rotating splitter fed by a vibrating
screen. A laboratory repeat was taken at ~ 1 in 25
samples.
Area 2 West samples were dispatched to Diamantina
Laboratories, Perth. The following information covers the
sampling process at Diamantina:
•All drill hole sub‐samples were screened using
vibrating screens with a top screen of 2 mm and a
bottom screen of 38 μm. Oversize (+2 mm fraction)
was removed and‐38 μm fraction (SLIMES)
discarded. The sand fraction (2 mm to +38 μm) was
then submitted for heavy liquid separation using TBE
to determine total heavy mineral content.
Area 2 East samples were dispatched to ALS Global
Laboratories, Perth. The following information covers the
sampling process at ALS:
•All drill hole sub‐samples were screened using
vibrating screens with a top screen of 1 mm and a
bottom screen of 20 μm. Oversize (+1 mm fraction)
was removed and‐20 μm fraction (SLIMES)
discarded. The sand fraction (1 mm to +20 μm) was
then submitted for heavy liquid separation using TBE
and centrifuge assist to determine total heavy mineral
content.

12

Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).
Wallis Drilling was the contractor used for the drilling
programs that support the Area 2 Mineral Resource
estimate.
Aircore drilling with inner tubes for sample return was
used.
Aircore is considered a standard industry technique for
Heavy Mineral Sand (HMS) mineralisation. Aircore drilling
is a form of reverse circulation drilling where the sample is
collected at the face and returned inside the inner tube.
Aircore drill rods used were 3 m long.
NQ diameter (76 mm) drill bits and rods were used.
All drill holes were vertical.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
Drill sample recovery is monitored by recording sample
condition from ‘dry good’ to ‘wet poor’.
While initially collaring the hole, limited sample recovery
can occur in the initial 0m to 1m sample interval owing to
sample and air loss into the surrounding loose soil.
The initial 0 m to 1 m sample interval is drilled very slowly
in order to achieve optimum sample recovery.
The entire 1m sample is collected at the drill rig with the
primary split at the drill rig using the rotary splitter
attached to the base of the cyclone. The coarse reject is
retained.
At the end of each drill meter and drill rod, the drill string is
cleaned by blowing down with air to remove any clay and
silt potentially built up in the sample tubes.
The twin-tube aircore drilling technique is known to
provide high quality samples from the face of the drill hole
(in ideal conditions).
Logging Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc.)
photography.
The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
The 1m aircore samples were each qualitatively logged
via digital entry using into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet,
and later uploaded into an Acquire Database. VHM
change database providers in Q1 2023 to MXDeposit. All
past logging data is now stored in the MXDeposit
database.
The aircore samples were logged for lithology, colour,
grainsize, sorting, hardness, sample condition,
washability, estimated THM%, estimated SLIMES% and
any relevant comments such as slope, vegetation, or
cultural activity.
Every drill hole is logged in full.
Logging is undertaken with reference to a Drilling
Guideline with codes prescribed and guidance on
description to ensure consistent and systematic data
collection.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all cores
taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and
whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature,
quality, and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the
in-situ material collected, including
The 1 m sample interval is rotary split at the drill rig,
collected and dispatch to Diamantina laboratories and
ALS Global laboratories.
The water table depth was noted in all geological logs if
intersected whereby sample condition was specified as
‘wet poor’.
A total of ~1.2 kg to ~2.5 kg of each sample was placed
into calico sample bags and exported to Diamantina
Laboratories or ALS Global Laboratories for THM
analysis.
Almost all of the samples are silty sand, sandy clay,
clayey sand, sandy clay or clay and this preparation
method is considered appropriate.
The sample sizes were deemed suitable to reliably
capture THM, slime, and oversize characteristics, based
on industry experience of the geologists involved and
consultation with laboratory staff.

13

for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Field duplicates of the samples were completed at a
frequency of 1 per 20 primary samples in the field.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters
used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Nature of quality control
procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
The wet panning at the drill site provides an estimate of
the THM% which is sufficient for the purpose of
determining approximate concentrations of THM in the
first instance.
Area 2 West samples were dispatched to Diamantina
Laboratories (static gravity drop heavy liquid separation)
which followed the general assay process flow described
as follows:
•The samples selected for assay were received by
Diamantina check-in process then oven dried at
approximately 110°C until samples were completely
dry
•Samples were then rotary split down to approximately
~100 g sub-splits (weighed and captured) with one
sample then submitted to screening via vibrating deck
screens with the application of water
•Every 25th sample was submitted to the same process
as a laboratory repeat
•The wet screens used either a top screen of 1 mm
(90% of all samples from Area 2 West sent to
Diamantina) or a top screen of 2mm (10% of all
samples from Area 2 West sent to Diamantina) and a
bottom screen of 38 μm
•Material captured by the upper screen (OS) and 38 μm
(SAND) screens was individually captured, dried and
weighed, whilst material passing through the 38 μm
(SLIMES) screen was lost to wastewater systems.
•The SAND fraction (1 mm to -38 µm) was split down to
approximately ~100 g sub-splits for static gravity
assisted Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) using
tetrabromoethane (TBE)
•The laboratory used TBE as the heavy liquid medium
– with density range between 2.92 and 2.96 g/ml
•Four holes were completed with the following method
however using 20 μm screens for the sand and slime
fractions.
Samples were dispatched to ALS Global Laboratories
(centrifuge-assisted heavy liquid separation) which
followed the general assay process flow described as
follows;
•The samples selected for assay were received by ALS
Laboratories check-in process then oven dried at
approximately 110°C until samples were completely
dry.
•Samples were then riffled split down to approximately
~500 g sub-splits (weighed and captured) then soaked
for 24 hours in 1% tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP
– a dispersing agent used to help disaggregate clays)
•Every 25th sample was submitted to the same process
as a laboratory repeat.
•The wet screens used a top screen of 1 mm and a
bottom screen of 20 μm. After the first screening
samples were subjected to a mechanical agitation (1%
TSPP) for 5 minutes then re-screened for a second
time
•Material captured by the upper screen and 20 μm
(SAND) screens was individually captured, dried and

14

weighed, whilst material passing through the 20 μm
(SLIMES) screen was lost to wastewater systems.
•The SAND fraction (1 mm to -20 µm) was split down to
approximately ~100 g sub-splits for centrifuge assisted
Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) using
tetrabromoethane (TBE)
•The laboratory used TBE as the heavy liquid medium
– with density range between 2.92 and 2.96 g/ml
•Field duplicates of the samples were completed at a
frequency of 1 per 20 primary samples in the field
however 1 per 100 samples were submitted for assay
due to the selective assay method.
Both Laboratories completed their own internal QA/QC
checks that included laboratory standards every 40th
sample and a Laboratory repeat every 25th sample prior
to the results being released.
VHM standards were inserted at a frequency of 1 per 20
samples.
Analysis of QAQC samples shows the laboratory data to
be of acceptable accuracy and precision.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay
data.
All results are checked by the company’s Geology
Manager
Two twinned holes have been drilled in Area 2 East (A2E)
No adjustments have been made to the assay data
received from Diamantina and ALS Global. Assays were
imported into the MXDeposit database.
Field and laboratory duplicate data pairs
(THM/OS/SLIME) of each batch are plotted to identify
potential quality control issues.
Standard Reference Material sample results are checked
from each sample batch to ensure they are within
tolerance (<3SD) and that there is no bias.
•Two standards fell outside tolerance (>3STD). These
were reviewed and accepted based on surrounding
standards and assays.
The field and laboratory data were exported from the VHM
database and imported into Datamine by Right Solutions.
Data validation criteria are included to check for
overlapping sample intervals, end of hole match between
‘Lithology’, ‘Sample’, ‘Survey’ files and other common
errors.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Specification of the grid system
used.
Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.
Down hole geophysical surveys were conducted to utilise
gamma signatures for ascertaining mineralisation zones
within the lithological sequence.
Drill hole collars were surveyed by an independent survey
company using industry standard equipment. Three
permanent survey marks in the area assisted with the
collar pickups, allowing for consistent survey readings
across the Project.
The datum used is GDA 94 and coordinates are projected
as MGA zone 54.
A digital topographic surface was generated by VHM
Limited from data collected during a LIDAR survey
commissioned by VHM. The accuracy of the locations is
sufficient for this stage of exploration.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing, and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
A regular rectangular ~400m x ~100m grid spacing is
dominant at the Area 2 Project with a tighter drill spacings
of ~400m x ~50m on seven drill lines in Area 2 West
The company has completed 256 drill holes between 2017
and 2019 to determine the mineralisation potential at Area
2 (RL6806 and EL6419)

15

estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
The 400m x 100m spaced aircore holes and regular grid
are sufficient to provide a good degree of confidence in
potential future geological models at this stage. The 50m
spacing on the five drill lines aims to further confirm the
potential continuity across strike.
Each aircore drill sample is a single 1m sample of sand
intersected down the hole.
No down hole compositing has occurred for Total Heavy
Mineral (THM) analysis.
Sample composites for QEMScan analysis, submitted to
ALS Global Perth, were completed on mineralised zones
utilising the sinks from the THM analysis. Composite
intervals were selected based on THM grades and
lithology boundaries.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known,
considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
The aircore drilling was oriented perpendicular to the
strike of potential mineralisation as defined by previous
historical drill data information.
The strike of the potential mineralisation, based on
observations using geology logging, down hole
geophysical surveys and proximity to existing deposits
define by the company, is northwest-southeast.
All drill holes were vertical, and the orientation of the
potential mineralisation is relatively horizontal.
The orientation of the drilling is considered appropriate for
testing the lateral and vertical extent of potential
mineralisation without anybias.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
Air core samples are stored on site (in the paddock on
pallets).
The samples were then dispatched to Perth using Swan
Hill Freight agents and delivered directly to Diamantina
laboratory.
The laboratory inspected the packages and did not report
tampering of the samples.
Area 2 East samples stored until analysis; these were
delivered to the company’s storage facility in Perth.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.
Internal reviews were undertaken during the geological
interpretation and throughout,the modelling process.

parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
Historic exploration work was completed by previous
exploration companies including Austiex (1977 - 1978),
CRA Exploration (1981 - 1987), Renison Goldfields
Consolidated (1980 - 1991), W J Holdings (1998),
RZM Group (1999), Basin Minerals (2001), Providence
Gold and Minerals (2004 – 2005), and Iluka (2009).
The Company has obtained the hardcopy reports and
maps in relation to this information as part of its

16

historical review in preparation for their current work
program.
The historic data comprises surface sampling, limited
aircore drilling and mapping.
The historic results are not reportable under JORC
2012.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and
style of mineralisation.
The heavy mineral sands as defined at the Area 2
Project is a fine-grained deposit hosted within the
offshore depositional paleo-environment of the Loxton
Parilla Sands. The relatively strong presence of
Leucoxene could indicate a reworking process for the
deposit or weathering overprint.
The Loxton Parilla Sand is prevalent within the Murray
Basin for hosting mineral sand deposits.
The Shepparton Formation clays are positioned above
the Loxton Sands and the Bookpurnong Formation
consisting of shallow marine clays and marls is
positioned below within the lithological sequence.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill
hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level
– elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and
interception depth

hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
All relevant drill hole information is reported regarding
the drilling programs completed between 25th
November 2017 and 2ndof April 2019
Hole collars were surveyed by an independent
surveyor using industry standard equipment.
Holes were drilled vertically.
Drill hole depth cross verified with drilling reports and
geologist log for each hole.
All relevant drill hole data is reported associated with
the model build
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g., cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No data aggregation methods were utilised, all
samples were completed on 1m down hole intervals,
no top cuts were employed, and all cut-off grades have
been reported.
Total Valuable Heavy Mineral (TVHM >1%) was used
to provide cut-off grades for reporting. TVHM is
calculated by THM * VHM.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
The nature of the potential mineralisation is broadly
horizontal, thus vertical aircore holes are thought to
represent close to true thicknesses of the
mineralisation.
Downhole widths are reported.

17

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to Figure 2, Figure 9 and Figure 12 in the main
body of the report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
All exploration results reported as part of the Area 2
drilling program representing both low- and high- THM
results to ensure representative reporting of data.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Detailed mineral assemblage work was undertaken on
composite samples for the Project by ALS Metallurgy
Services, Perth. ALS applied an integrated
mineralogical approach using both XRF Analysis
(XRF) and Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by
Scanning Electron Microscopy (QEMSCAN). This was
to gain a quantitative understanding of the elemental
composition and mineralogical assemblage.
The XRF technique provides measurements of relative
elemental abundances (down to limits of a few parts
per million) which allows for a quantifiable basis for
determination of mineralogy, provenance, depositional
environment, and diagenetic history. The XRF analysis
was utilised to apply assay data to the geological
model for grade interpretation.
The QEMScan method of analysis required the
samples to be screened into +150 μm and‐150 μm
screen fraction prior to sample preparation and
QEMScan analysis.
Sample preparation required each sup‐sample was
mixed with size‐graded, high purity graphite to ensure
particle separation and discourage density
segregation. These sample‐graphite mixtures were
then set into moulds using a two‐part epoxy resin,
producing a representative sub‐sample of randomly
orientated particles. Once cured, the resin blocks were
then cut to expose a fresh surface which is then
gradually ground and polished. Once QA/QC checks
are completed the sections are then carbon coated for
electron beam conductivity and presented to
QEMScan for analysis.
The samples were analysed using QEMScan
technology in Field Scan Mode (FS) and Particle
Mineralogical Analysis (PMA) mode.
•A total of 39 mineral assemblage composites were
used to characterise the mineralogy and chemistry
for the deposit.
•Once all of the sample compositing was completed,
the sample identification and mineral assemblage
composite number was submitted to Dorrit deNooy
at ALS in Perth, Australia for sample collation and
processing.
•Preparing the mineral assemblage composites in
thismannerallowsforcompositeresults to be

18

applied to the resource block model and for those
results to then be reported and weighted on THM in
the final Mineral Resource estimate.
Details of summary drill hole mineral assemblage
composite IDs and associated results are presented in
Appendix 6.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Mix sample support occurs across Area 2 West and
Area 2 East, further HLS analysis on Area 2 West
samples using -1mm to +20µm sand fraction with
centrifuge assist is recommended.
Additional sample composites for QEMScan, XRF and
ICP-MS analysis across zones with limited data.

Nature of the data used and of any
assumptions made.
The effect, if any, of alternative
interpretations on Mineral Resource

Estimation and
modelling
techniques
The nature and appropriateness of
the estimation technique(s) applied
and key assumptions, including
treatment of extreme grade values,
domaining, interpolation parameters
and maximum distance of
extrapolation from data points. If a
computer assisted estimation
method was chosen include a
description of computer software and
parameters used.
The availability of check estimates,
previous estimates and/or mine
production records and whether the
Mineral Resource estimate takes
appropriate account of such data.
The assumptions made regarding
recovery of by-products.
Estimation of deleterious elements or
other non-grade variables of
economic significance (eg sulphur
for acid mine drainage
characterisation).
In the case of block model
interpolation, the block size in
relation to the average sample
spacing and the search employed.
Any assumptions behind modelling
of selective mining units.
Any assumptions about correlation
between variables.
Description of how the geological
interpretation was used to control the
resource estimates.
Discussion of basis for using or not
using grade cutting or capping.
The process of validation, the
checking process used, the
comparison of model data to drill
hole data, and use of reconciliation
data if available.
The MRE was conducted using Datamine Studio RM
Pro. Ordinary Kriging estimation technique was used to
interpolate THM, Slimes and OS grades from drill
samples into the block model. Nearest neighbour
techniques were used to interpolate mineral
assemblage, rare earth elements, index values and
non-numeric sample identification into the block
model.
The mostly regular dimensions of the drill grid and the
anisotropy of the drilling and sampling grid allowed the
use of ordinary kriging and nearest neighbour
methodologies as no de-clustering of samples was
required.
Appropriate search ellipses were used to search for
data for the interpolation and suitable limitations on the
number of samples and the impact of those samples
was maintained. Each zone was estimated with a
directional search ellipse with varying search ranges
over three search passes.
Hard domain boundaries were used in the interpolation
of grade for each zone.
The average parent cell size used for the interpolation
was approximately a quarter of the standard drill
section line spacing. Parent cell size used is 25mE x
100mN x 1mRL.
No assumptions were made regarding the modelling of
selective mining units; however, it is assumed that a
form of dry mining will be undertaken.
Any other mining methodology will be more than
adequately catered for with the parent cell size that
was selected for the modelling exercise.
Sub-cell dimensions are a factor of the parent cell size
using the ratios of 4 x 4 x 5.
No assumptions were made about correlation between
variables.
Grade cutting or capping was not used during the
interpolation because of the regular nature of sample
spacing and the fact that samples were not clustered
nor wide spaced to an extent where elevated samples
could have a deleterious impact on the resource
estimation.
Sample distributions were reviewed, and no extreme
outliers were identified either high or low that
necessitated any grade cutting or capping.
The sample length of 1 m does result in a degree of
grade smoothing also negating the requirement for
grade cutting or capping.
Validation of grade interpolations were done visually in
Datamine software by loading model and drillhole files
and annotating and colouring and using filtering to
check for the appropriateness of interpolations.
Statistical distributions were prepared from drillhole
and model files to compare the effectiveness of the
interpolation for estimated zones.
Along-strike, across-strike and vertical distributions of
section line averages (swath plots) for drillholes and
models were also prepared for comparison purposes.
Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated
on a dry basis or with natural
moisture, and the method of
determination of the moisture
content.
Tonnages were estimated on an assumed dry basis.

Cut-off
parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off
grade(s) or quality parameters
applied.
Cut-off grade for TVHM (THM x VHM) was used to
prepare the reported resource estimates. A 1% TVHM
cut-off grade was selected for reporting the resource
estimate following visual validation through spatial
positioning of the grade interpolation at varying cut-offs
and is in line with the previous IHC Robbins 2019 MRE
for Area 2 West.
Mining factors
or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding
possible mining methods, minimum
mining dimensions and internal (or, if
applicable, external) mining dilution.
It is always necessary as part of the
process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic
extraction to consider potential
mining methods, but the
assumptions made regarding mining
methods and parameters when
estimating Mineral Resources may
not always be rigorous. Where this is
the case, this should be reported
with an explanation of the basis of
the mining assumptions made.
No specific mining method is assumed other than
potentially the use of dry mining methods.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
The basis for assumptions or
predictions regarding metallurgical
amenability. It is always necessary
as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction to consider
potential metallurgical methods, but
the assumptions regarding
metallurgical treatment processes
and parameters made when
reporting Mineral Resources may not
always be rigorous. Where this is the
case, this should be reported with an
explanation of the basis of the
metallurgical assumptions made.
Metallurgical assumptions were used based on mineral
assemblage composites which at this stage only allow
for preliminary commentary with no final products
being defined from the reported mineral
species. Some chemistry in the form of oxides from
XRF analysis was available for commentary however
may not bear exact reconciliation with eventual final
products.
No recoveries were used or accounted for in the
reporting of the MRE.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding
possible waste and process residue
disposal options. It is always
necessary as part of the process of
determining reasonable prospects
for eventual economic extraction to
consider the potential environmental
impacts of the mining and
processing operation. While at this
stage the determination of potential
environmental impacts, particularly
for a greenfields project, may not
always be well advanced, the status
of early consideration of these
potential environmental impacts
should be reported. Where these
aspects have not been considered
this should be reported with an
explanation of the environmental
assumptions made.
No assumptions have been made regarding possible
waste and process residue; however, disposal of by
products such as SLIMES, sand and oversize are
normally part of capture and disposal back into the
mining void for eventual rehabilitation. This also
applies to gangue mineral products recovered and
waste products recovered from metallurgical
processing of heavy mineral.
Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If
assumed, the basis for the
assumptions. If determined, the
method used, whether wet or dry,
Area 2 MRE bulk density formula is described as: Bulk
Density = (0.009 * THM) + 1.698.

21

the frequency of the measurements,
the nature, size and
representativeness of the samples.
The bulk density for bulk material
must have been measured by
methods that adequately account for
void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc),
moisture and differences between
rock and alteration zones within the
deposit.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density
estimates used in the evaluation
process of the different materials.
It is believed that the bulk density applied the MRE is
conservative and fit for purpose at this level of
confidence for the MREs.
Classification The basis for the classification of the
Mineral Resources into varying
confidence categories.
Whether appropriate account has
been taken of all relevant factors (ie
relative confidence in tonnage/grade
estimations, reliability of input data,
confidence in continuity of geology
and metal values, quality, quantity
and distribution of the data).
Whether the result appropriately
reflects the Competent Person’s
view of the deposit.
The resource classification for the Area 2 deposit was
based on the following criteria: drill hole spacing,
geological, grade continuity and estimated search
pass.
The classification of the indicated and inferred Mineral
Resource was supported by all of the criteria as noted
above.
Historic drilling assay data was not included in the
Area 2 MRE.
The Competent Person considers that the result
appropriately reflects a reasonable view of the deposit
categorisation.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews
of Mineral Resource estimates.
No audits of the mineral resource estimate have been
undertaken at this point in time.
Internal peer reviews were completed by Right
Solutions.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence
Where appropriate a statement of
the relative accuracy and confidence
level in the Mineral Resource
estimate using an approach or
procedure deemed appropriate by
the Competent Person. For example,
the application of statistical or
geostatistical procedures to quantify
the relative accuracy of the resource
within stated confidence limits, or, if
such an approach is not deemed
appropriate, a qualitative discussion
of the factors that could affect the
relative accuracy and confidence of
the estimate.
The statement should specify
whether it relates to global or local
estimates, and, if local, state the
relevant tonnages, which should be
relevant to technical and economic
evaluation. Documentation should
include assumptions made and the
procedures used.
These statements of relative
accuracy and confidence of the
estimate should be compared with
production data, where available.
Validation of the model vs drillhole grades by sectional
comparisons, statistical evaluation, swathe plot and
population distribution analysis were favourable.
The statement refers to global estimates for the entire
known extent of the Area 2 deposit.
No production data is available for comparison with the
deposit.
