    Further high grade drill results at surface and
    very encouraging results from fresh rock below
    initial mine plan
    Pensana Rare Earths Plc (LSE: PRE, ASX: PM8) is pleased to report results from a
    further 34 holes of the 8,000 metre drill programme completed at the Longonjo
    NdPr Project in Angola.
    The programme is in support of the Bankable Feasibility Study work programmes
    based on the weathered zone mineralisation at Longonjo. New results confirm
    particularly high‐grade intersections from surface in the area of proposed first
    mining.
     Initial mine plan: Infill drilling has confirmed +6% rare earth oxide (REO) in
    the surface weathered zone mineralisation. This area of mineralisation
    remains open to the north and east. The Company expects to upgrade the
    mineral resource to Measured in this area for inclusion in the BFS.
     Fresh rock mineralisation: the first systematic drill testing of the potential
    immediately below the weathered zone mineralisation has returned wide
    intersections of 2.5% to 3% REO. These grades are very encouraging and add
    a second dimension to the Longonjo Project beyond the initial mine life. The
    mineralisation remains opens below the 80 metre drill depth.
     Southern margin: drilling has identified zones of high grade weathered zone
    mineralisation from surface that is expected to increase average grades in
    this area of the proposed open pit.
     Updated Mineral Resource estimate: An updated Mineral Resource
    estimate will be reported in the current quarter once all remaining assay
    results have been received.

    Omitted for JORC compliance.TO BE CONFIRMED WITH MRE
    The Company expects to upgrade the mineral resource to Measured in this area for inclusion in the initial 15 to 20 year mine plan.
