• Trench sample assays confirm high neodymium oxide (Nd2O5) ratios of up to 56% of total rare earth oxides (TREO) with an average of 31%
• Pr+Nd assay results account for 60% of calculated TREO, indicating that the Grønnedal mineralisation is enriched in the more valuable REE of Pr and Nd
• Maiden drilling program at Grønnedal returns rare earth element (REE) mineralisation for full length of all drill holes
• Drilling results confirm high ratios of up to 50% of praseodymium and neodymium (Pr+Nd).
• REE mineralisation at Grønnedal is widespread and deep-seated
