Magnetics and Gravity Surveys Underway Targeting New Discoveries
at Cummins Range Project
High-resolution survey will assist in targeting additional mineralised carbonatites at
Cummins Range to further expand the critical metals inventory
HIGHLIGHTS
• Detailed magnetics and gravity surveys have commenced at Cummins Range targeting the
discovery of additional mineralised carbonatite pipes
• Surveys will cover 90km2 of ground that surrounds the existing 519Mt rare earths (1.6Mt TREO
contained) and phosphate Mineral Resource area 1
• Carbonatites often occur in ‘swarms’, with any new discoveries offering the potential to rapidly
expand the existing critical metals inventory at Cummins Range
RareX Limited (RareX, the Company) (ASX: REE) is pleased to advise that magnetics and gravity surveys have
commenced at its 100%-owned Cummins Range Rare Earths and Phosphate Project (the Project, Cummins
Range), located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The geophysics program will cover 90km2 across tenements E80/5092 and E80/5372 and is designed to help
identify additional rare earths and phosphate bearing carbonatites to add to the Cummins Range critical metals
inventory. Carbonatites often occur as swarms with multiple intrusions into the host stratigraphy and historical
anomalies are known, proximate to the current deposit. To date, the entire 519Mt Cummins Range Mineral
Resource is contained within a single carbonatite pipe, with the delineation of additional carbonatites offering the
opportunity to significantly expand the existing Resource base.
RareX Chief Executive Officer, James Durrant, said: “This is an exciting field work program that will provide our first
serious exploration coverage of the area surrounding the existing Cummins Range carbonatite pipe. Our exploration
work to date has defined a very large Resource within a single location in one corner of the pipe, with very limited
exploration outside of this small area. Previous explorers have produced some encouraging results in surrounding
areas, and this new geophysical data will help us further refine near mine exploration targets for future testing. Any
new discoveries would be expected to have favourable economics due to their proximity to the planned Cummins
Range operations.”
The magnetics survey will be completed on a 50m line spacing, providing significantly improved coverage over
the numerous magnetic targets identified via the previous 400m spaced magnetic survey over the tenements
(see Figure 1).

The ground gravity survey will be conducted on 400m spaced lines, with 200m infill over specific areas. Existing
gravity data over most of the Cummins Range tenements is on 2.5km spacing, providing little to no gravity
information.
The combination of detailed magnetics and gravity will enable the exploration team to establish a geological
model of the broader Cummins Range area and define key targets for future geochemical surveys.
After this additional work at Cummins Range the team will begin systematically working through the other
tenements within the RareX portfolio for target generation as part of the broader RareXploration initiative which
includes exploration on tenements surrounding Cummins Range, projects further afield and the curation of
investments in Cosmos Exploration, Kincora Copper and Canadian rare earth trading company, CREC.
An updated mineral resource estimate for the existing Cummins Range deposit is anticipated in October
following the completion of the 2023 4,500m grade definition drilling campaign 2.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of RareX Limited.

About RareX Limited – ASX: REE
RareX Limited (ASX: REE), a Perth based project development and exploration Company, was founded on the
fundamental belief of the electronics revolution and the electric vehicle mega-trend. Our focus is rare earths and
associated battery and electronic metals.
Cummins Range, in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, is our flagship project which aims to produce
a sustainable, ethical, transparent and secure low carbon rare earth and phosphate supply chain solution for its
products which satisfy the two global mega-trends of population growth and electrification.
RareX maintains exploration upside programs in the immediate vicinity of the Cummins Range Project and also
more broadly to identify targets and progress projects complementary to the founding beliefs and expertise of the
core team.
Rare earths and in particular, NdPr, are core enablers of decarbonisation and electrification of our society. NdPr
supports high strength magnets which enables low carbon technologies, especially in the electric mobility sector,
robotics solutions and renewable energy, particularly the wind energy sector.
Phosphates are one of the three macro nutrients required in fertilisers. Fertilisers are in ever more demand due to
population growth, depleting soils and reduced arable land requiring ever more intensive farming.
RareX maintains material investments in Kincora Copper (ASX:KCC), Cosmos Exploration (ASX:C1X) and Canada
Rare Earth Corporation (LL.V).
