Management Comment
RareX Managing Director, Jeremy Robinson, said: “The December Quarter saw the completion of our highly
successful 2022 growth drilling program, which has laid the foundations for what we expect to be a
transformational period for RareX. The drilling has confirmed a substantial increase in the Project’s scale as a
bulk-tonnage rare earths-phosphate deposit.
“With a major resource upgrade now on track for later this quarter, we expect this to underpin the PreFeasibility Study that will define the commercial parameters of a project potentially capable of producing a
combined monazite-apatite (rare earths-phosphate concentrate), putting it in rarefied space as a resource
development play on the ASX.”

Exploration
During the quarter and to date, the Company has continued to receive assay results from the 2022 growth
drilling campaign. Results have confirmed the significant potential of the Cummins Range Project with the
latest assays recording outstanding intercepts of 513.8m at 0.5% TREO and 5% P2O5 and 288m at 0.4%
TREO and 4% P2O5 delineating a large-scale, bulk rare earths-phosphate deposit.
The results received to date, with key intercepts from the quarter noted below, demonstrate the potential for
a step-change in the scale of the Project. Assay results for 48 holes are still awaited. However, results for drill
holes on all sections completed have now been received confirming the continuity of rare earths-phosphate
mineralisation over 600m of strike, 700m of width and up to 700m down-dip. This is a significant increase in
size compared to the 2021 Mineral Resource:
o
CDX0027 - 455.6m at 5% P2O5 and 0.5% TREO and multiple high-grade rare earths intersections
cumulatively 100.4m at 1.9% TREO including 17m at 2.4% TREO
o
CDX0022 - 326.4m at 4% P2O5 and 0.4% TREO with multiple high-grade rare earths intersections
cumulatively 60.5m at 1.8% TREO including of 6.2m at 4.2% TREO
o
CDX0023 – 373m at 4% P2O5 and 0.3% TREO with multiple high-grade rare earths intersections
cumulatively 51.7m at 1.3% TREO
o
CDX0024 – 264.3m at 4% P2O5 and 0.4% TREO with multiple high-grade rare earths intersections
cumulatively 71m at 1.1% TREO
o
CDX0033 scissor hole – 513.8m at 5% P2O5 and 0.5% TREO from 3m and 144m at 5% P2O5 and 0.7%
TREO from 557m
o
CDX0038 - 288m at 4% P2O5 and 0.4% TREO including 5m @ 5.4% TREO and 14m at 1.4% TREO
Following expected receipt of the final assays in March, the Company expects to be in a position to publish a
significant Mineral Resource upgrade later this quarter.

Studies and Project Evolution
The recently completed Scoping Study 1, based on the 2020 Mineral Resource, highlighted a potential
pathway to monetise both the rare earth and phosphate assets at Cummins Range across two infrastructure
locations – Cummins Range and Wyndham Port. The Scoping Study has provided a platform from which to
grow and evolve the Project, with the results of ongoing metallurgical test work a key determining factor in its
overall scope and configuration.

ASX Release
January 31, 2023
Recent work has identified the opportunity to simplify the Project while also allowing for an increase in scale
at the next study phase. This will be supported by the impending Mineral Resource update, scheduled for Q1
2023.
The 2022 Scoping Study defined a 1.5Mtpa open cut mine at Cummins Range, feeding 500ktpa of Run-ofMine (ROM) material to a beneficiation (bene) plant comprising simple flotation cells. This plant would
produce two concentrate products: a rare earth concentrate and a phosphate concentrate. These
concentrates are proposed to be trucked to Wyndham Port.
Recent metallurgical test work suggests that this can be simplified into a single, mixed flotation concentrate
of rare earths and phosphate.
At Wyndham Port, a refinery powered by the Ord River hydro facility is envisaged which would process the
rare earth concentrate into two further products: a mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) and phosphoric acid.
With the delivery of a simplified, single interim product from the mine, the coastal infrastructure could be
further simplified, allowing for the staged installation of refining capability, thereby deferring capital and
reducing execution risk.
There is also an opportunity to produce end-product fertilisers by combining the phosphoric acid with the
phosphate rock concentrate, but this has not yet been fully investigated. The Company is working with
ORDCO2 on opportunities to supply local farms and stations with phosphate products.
The Scoping Study outlined the proposed sale of three products at Wyndham Port: A Mixed Rare Earth
Carbonate (c. 10ktpa), Phosphoric acid (c. 30ktpa) and Phosphate rock concentrate (c. 130ktpa). This product
suite could be simplified as the project evolves and is refined; however, the fundamental products of a rare
earth and phosphate combination will remain.
Mineralogy and Metallurgy
Mineralogy investigations show values are contained in monazite and apatite, which are crystalline minerals
that are well suited to concentration via froth flotation. This is due to mineral morphology and modest
liberation size. The Cummins Range apatite is very low in rare earth and radionuclide content, making
metallurgical treatment easier.
In the fresh zone, the rare earths are mainly distributed in monazite and bastnasite and are hosted within
classic carbonatite gangue minerals. The apatite minerals are dominant in the low rare earth material, with
high phosphate minerals present in both regolith and fresh zones.
Investigations suggest that, once sufficient liberation is achieved, the apatite and monazite minerals can be
floated as a combined concentrate and magnetically separated, leading to the potential for simple flotation at

site with magnetic separation at the coast. This could lend itself to a phased infrastructure deployment option
at Wyndham Port.
Metallurgical programmes have been ongoing during the year and account for the second largest budgetary
allocation, behind drilling. The programmes have included testing in the regolith and fresh rock zones, with a
recent priority focus on rare earth and phosphate optimised flotation across both the Rare Dyke and the Phos
Dyke.
Recent test work has shown a potentially significant preference for gangue clay minerals into the sub-10micron size fraction, opening up the possibility for pre-float de-sliming to reduce costs in the milling circuit
and the flotation cells as well as improve phosphate and rare-earth concentrate quality.
Hydrometallurgical testwork at ANSTO has shown good alignment to the Scoping Study assumptions and
shows a sulphuric acid bake following a phosphoric acid gangue leach to be the more appropriate extraction
technology. Once the flotation programme has refined the concentrate grade and quality, there is the
potential to further optimise the hydrometallurgy circuits and reduce reagent consumptions.
The 2022 metallurgical program is now complete with sample selection from four sub-lithologies, which will
aim to confirm current metallurgy performance as well as allowing optimisation of the process flowsheets.
Auralia Metallurgy, Nagrom and ANSTO have been supporting RareX in the metallurgical testing. RareX is also
sending ore samples to the highly experienced Chinese research institute; Baotou Meng Rong Fine Materials
Co Ltd (BTMR). The BTMR is one of the world’s leading flotation R&D laboratories for rare earth elements. By
adopting this multi-dimensional approach, RareX hopes to rapidly work toward the establishment of the
optimal flotation regime for the regolith and fresh ores.
Power and Land
The opportunity to utilise hydro-electric power at Wyndham is being developed towards formalisation. RareX
has been working with Pac Hydro and Horizon Power to understand the current supply limitations, the lowhanging debottlenecking solutions, and the impacts of RareX infrastructure onto the feeder lines at
Wyndham.
The Company intends to map a formalised pathway to a power purchase agreement in the near future. RareX
is working with PWC as its legal adviser in this regard.
Off-take
Michael Prassas recently joined the team as Head of Corporate Development and has spent considerable time
in Europe linking with his connections in the automotive sector, which is a key target market for both the
magnet metals, NdPr, as well as the phosphate material for use in lithium-ion phosphate batteries such as
those used in the new generation of electric vehicles due to improved safety and longevity.

RareX also recently executed an MOU for fertilizer product off-take, distribution and R&D for the purpose of
placing a portion of the Cummins Range products locally for the benefit of the Kununurra agricultural sector.
This strategy is particularly pertinent given the price shocks currently reverberating through the phosphate
fertilizer industry as a result of the conflict in the Ukraine and the remoteness of Kununurra, which relies
solely on imported material, either from overseas or from the East coast of Australia. RareX is looking forward
to developing a product road map with ORDCO.
Approvals
RareX expects that it will be required to submit full referrals under State and Commonwealth Acts for the
Cummins Range Project and will be conducing baseline surveys accordingly. Because the Project has two
infrastructure locations, this is likely to be addressed under separate referrals.
Dry season flora and fauna surveys at site are complete and will be augmented with the wet season surveys
early next year. Pre-field trip heritage work has commenced and soil and landform surveys and waste rock
characterisation will be initiated in the near future. Recent baseline hydrogeological studies will be
augmented with a broader programme in 2023. The Company is working with the Jaru Native Title Holders to
further integrate local members into the survey, monitoring and management teams. The Company is
planning to make formal submissions at the completion of the PFS. RareX is working with MBS Environmental
as its lead consultant for the environmental approvals.
Stakeholder engagement
RareX has been undertaking the groundwork required for its social impact assessment which includes a more
focused Community Impact Assessment which will be included as part of the negotiations currently
underway with the Jaru Native Title Holders for the Mining Heritage Agreement. RareX recently implemented
a dedicated stakeholder database and management system. WSP Golders are the lead consultant in
stakeholder engagement.
Native Title
The Mining Licence negotiations have commenced following the signing of the negotiation protocol with the
Jaru Native Title Holders and the nomination of the Traditional Owners’ Negotiation Committee (TONC).
The first of the heritage agreement negotiations commenced on 22 November in Halls Creek. RareX is
working with Allens as its legal representative.
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
RareX also notes the recent announcement of the Critical Minerals Development Plan (CMDP), which is
designed to provide support for companies and projects moving through the feasibility pathway. RareX is
preparing for an application when the plan is expected to open in the New Year.

Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it

operating and exploration expenditure going forward, if needed. If required, the

portion of its LR7.1 capacity available and all of its LR7.1A capacity available, if
required. The Directors also have a strong track record of being able to raise funds
if required.

Canada Rare Earths and Cosmos valued at approximately $3.0m at the end of the
quarter available for sale.

Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?

These ongoing activities will be reviewed and adjusted according to available
funding.
