Rare earth results

First laboratory assays from a targeted programme on retained auger drill material show monazite-hosted rare earth mineralisation starting at surface and open at depth. Significant intercepts include 2.3 metres at 4.54% total rare earth oxide from surface and 3.0 metres at 3.40%. Saprolite beneath a sand sequence returned grades up to 21.15% TREO, and the magnet-rich basket shows NdPr at 21 to 24% of TREO.

Drilling and rutile

A 761-hole alluvial campaign delivering 3,485 metres was completed in late August 2026, with results to be reported in batches. The company defined a high-grade rutile corridor across 130 square kilometres, with a third discovery on a neighbouring tenement. A second accredited laboratory confirmed natural rutile nuggets grading 98.4% TiO2.

Sector context

Rare earths and rutile are both classed as critical minerals, and governments are seeking diversified Supply chains. The company noted a visit by a U.S. Embassy delegation including a Critical Minerals Specialist. The broader index was little changed on the day.

Risks and limitations

The rare earth grades are from surface and auger samples, and the company says a competent person is still evaluating the scale and nature of the mineralisation. Results are being released in batches, and further diamond drilling is planned to test depth extent. Rutile values are based on heavy mineral and in-situ grades that are not yet a resource.

What to watch ahead

Further batches of the 761-hole campaign assays and the planned diamond drilling at depth are the next steps the company has flagged.
