    21 October 2021HIGHLIGHTSASX ANNOUNCEMENTENCOURAGING RARE EARTH EXTRACTION RESULTS• 489 composite samples from 215 drill holes, representing 1,409 metres of drilling anomalous with rare earth elements (“REE”1), re-assayed using a weak aqua regia2 acid solution to indicate the proportion of readily soluble REE.• The test work indicated that at a grade of approximately 800ppm total rare earth oxides (“TREO”3), 80% of light REO4, 76% of heavy REO5 and 80% of critical REO6 was taken into solution under the conditions trialled.• An updated geological model suggests REE mineralisation occurs in Eocene-aged sediments of the SalmonGums Plains, part of the on-shore Eucla basin.• Drill holes that have returned elevated REE extend over an area 25 kilometres long and 3 kilometres wide.Drilling is planned to further frame out the extent of mineralisation, which is currently open in all directions.
