September quarter report released 29 October 2026

Lion Rock reported high-grade rare earths and monazite discovered from surface at the Minta Est prospect. First laboratory assays from a targeted programme on retained auger drill material returned significant in-situ total rare earth oxide intercepts, including 2.3 metres at 4.54% TREO from surface, 3.0 metres at 3.40% TREO and 2.0 metres at 3.49% TREO.

The company also reported saprolite grades of up to 21.15% TREO beneath the sand sequence that the auger drilling could not penetrate. The rare earth basket is magnet-rich, with NdPr at 21% to 24% of TREO. A 761-hole alluvial drill campaign was completed in late August 2026, delivering 3,485 metres of drilling, and diamond drilling is planned to test the depth extent.

Sector context

At midday, the ASX Materials sector was up 6.34%, while Lion Rock shares moved lower in the session. The Quarterly Report is dated 29 October and is not linked to the 5 November price move.

What to watch ahead

Investors will follow the diamond drilling program at Minta Est, further laboratory assays from the auger material and the next quarterly report, which will set out the progress of the drilling campaign.

Risks

The rare earth results are based on auger and alluvial material and may not reflect the grade or continuity of mineralisation at depth. Laboratory results are preliminary, and the diamond drilling is yet to be completed. The shares are low-priced and can be volatile.

Final Word

Lion Rock has completed its largest systematic drill program and reported high-grade rare earth intercepts at Minta Est. The share price fell during the session, and the diamond drilling results will be the next test of the mineralisation.
