CUMMINS RANGE RARE EARTHS PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
•
58 holes for 6,146m of RC drilling successfully completed
•
First samples on way to the laboratory with assays expected in 3-4 weeks
•
Drilling has intersected the deepest weathered carbonatite to date
•
Drilling has also identified a NW-SE breccia fault zone, representing a possible primary target
RareX Limited (ASX: REE) (“RareX” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has successfully
completed 58 holes for 6,146m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at its 100%-owned Cummins Range
Rare Earths Project in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.
The first batch of samples has been despatched to the laboratory today, with assays expected to be
returned in 3-4 weeks.
The drilling program commenced at Cummins Range on 24 July 2020 and took approximately four weeks
to complete.
Drilling was successful in defining the resource in the known areas and extending the mineralisation,
primarily at depth, with the deepest hole intersecting weathered carbonatite to a depth of 150m.

Logging of the drill chips has also identified a NW-SE striking breccia fault zone for the first time, which
represents a likely control on both the higher grade mineralisation in the weathered material and a target
for primary mineralisation as it is likely to be a conduit for mineralisation and has never been tested at
depth.
Preliminary XRF work has also identified the presence of abundant niobium in the drill holes, and this will
also now be assayed for. Niobium, as well as phosphate, are common in carbonatite deposits as both
primary and by-product minerals.
Sampling is continuing at site and is expected to run for another three weeks with samples being sent to
the lab in progressive batches as they are ready.
This announcement has been authorized for release by the Board of RareX Limited.
