Outstanding New +500m and +280m Intercepts Highlight Step-Change in Scale at Cummins Range

Record intercepts of 513.8m @ 0.5% TREO and 5% P2O5 and 288m @ 0.4% TREO and 4% P2O5 delineate large-scale bulk rare earths-phosphate deposit ahead of imminent resource upgrade

Australian sustainable rare earths company, RareX Limited (ASX: REE) (RareX or the Company), is pleased to report assay results from a further eight drill holes completed as part of the 2022 drilling program at its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths-Phosphate Project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.


Highlights:
  • Outstanding new results from a further eight holes from the 2022 drilling campaign at the Cummins Range Rare Earths and Phosphate Project, Western Australia
  • Exceptional intersection of:
    • 513.8m at 0.5% TREO and 5% P2O5 from 3m and 144m at 5% P2O5 and 0.7% TREO from 557m from scissor hole CDX0033
    • Including very high-grade zones of 12.65m at 2.3% TREO and 5% P2O5 and 7.8m at 5.3% TREO and 6% P2O5
  • Another outstanding wide intercept of:
    • 288m at 0.4% TREO and 4% P2O5 including 12m at 1.4% TREO and 4% P2O5 and 14m at 1.4% TREO and 5% P2O5 from CDX0038
  • Rare earths and phosphate mineralisation now confirmed over a strike extent of 600m with results received from the outermost holes
  • 2022 drilling has demonstrated the potential for a very large, bulk tonnage REE-phosphate project, with a significant step-up in scale from last year’s Scoping Study
  • Resource upgrade on track for this quarter following expected receipt of remaining assays in February
  • No direct impact on operations from recent flooding in the Central and West Kimberley

The exceptional new results, building on significant assays reported towards the end of last year, demonstrate the potential for a step-change in the scale of the Project, with broad zones of significant rare earths (REE) and phosphate mineralisation now defined over a 600m strike extent.

RareX is still awaiting assay results from 48 holes drilled as part of the significant 2022 drilling program that was completed in December 2022. Following expected receipt of the final assays in February, the Company expects to be in a position to publish a significant mineral resource upgrade later this quarter.

Saskatchewan Research Council Achieves Commercial Production at Rare Earths Facility

The Saskatchewan Research Council's (SRC) rare earths processing facility in Saskatoon is now producing rare earth metals at a commercial scale, the organization announced on Monday (September 16).

The Canadian province is now the first and only jurisdiction in North America to achieve this level of production.

The SRC said the facility reached commercial scale over the summer, and can produce 10 metric tons of neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) metals per month. The milestone came ahead of schedule, and the operation has reportedly achieved purities exceeding 99.5 percent, as well as conversion rates greater than 98 percent.
