Historical Review Reveals Extensive Deposits of Gallium Rich Clays at Niobe
Engage with this announcement at the RareX investor hub.
Highlights
• Shallow gallium mineralisation identified over a cumulative strike length of 9km, with grades as high as
87g/t Ga₂O₃ and highlight clay hosted intersections of:
• 20m at 70g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay
• 32m at 67g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay
• 28m at 64g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay
• 20m at 67g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay
• Heritage clearance completed in November, clearing path for drilling campaign
• 3,000m drill program planned for first quarter CY2026 to test four geophysical targets
• Only flora survey remains to be completed pre-drilling following extensive preparations including:
consolidation of land holding; completion of access agreements with Narnoo (x2) and Tropicana (x1); and
heritage and archeological surveys.
• The drill program has been award EIS funding of $175,0001
.
RareX Limited (ASX: REE, REEO – RareX, or the Company) is pleased to announce that the heritage clearance for
the first Khaleesi drill campaign is complete. This clears the path to test priority carbonatite and gallium targets,
specifically a 5km x 3km gallium enriched clay profile, within the Khaleesi Alkaline Intrusive Complex. All historical
drilling at the Niobe Prospect has intersecting gallium mineralised zones (Figures 1 and 2) and the planned drill
program will test along strike from the high grade clay zones, over an area of 1.6 km × 1.2 km (outlined in yellow in
Figure 4).
The Niobe prospect contains two historical northern and southern drill lines (Figures 1 and 2) spaced 2km apart,
where the geological profile contains alluvial sands overlaying a clay cap that sits above an altered syenite granite.

Figure 2. Historical southern drill line showing gallium enrichment in hydrothermally altered syenite granite and clay cap over 5km. Section location
is shown in Figure 4 and is 2km south of the northern drill line. Section has been drawn with a 15 x vertical exaggeration. Assay results and geology
are shown in Appendix 1.
The syenite is highly fractionated and contains an average of 54g/t Ga₂O₃ from 35 samples. The clay cap varies in
thickness, locally exceeding 30m, and averages 56g/t Ga₂O₃ from 77 samples. The topography of the granite forms
peaks and troughs, with thicker, higher-grade clay zones developed within the troughs. Notable intersections
include:
• 20m at 70g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay, hole RDA204, Figure 3
• 32m at 67g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay, hole RDA205, Figure 3
• 28m at 64g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay, hole RDA231, Figure 4
• 20m at 67g/t Ga₂O₃ in clay, hole RDA203, Figure 3
Khaleesi Project
The Khaleesi Project is located 260km northeast of Kalgoorlie on the contact between the Yilgarn Craton and the
Albany Fraser Orogen (Figure 3). Most of the project lies within the Northern Foreland Unit and includes the 20 km
Khaleesi Alkaline Intrusion Complex, which has been partly down-faulted into the Canning Basin beneath the Mulga
Rocks uranium deposits.
Magmatic units within the complex have been dated at 2030 Ma, consistent with other alkaline intrusions on the
eastern margin of the Yilgarn Craton, including Mt Weld (106Mt at 4.12% TREO2
) and the Cundeelee Carbonatite.
The project is also located 45 km along strike from the Ponton Dyke, a zone of hydrothermal rare earth veining in
granite, which includes intercepts up to 28 m at 10% TREO.
CEO and Managing Director, James Durrant, commented: “We are excited to progress the Khaleesi Project and we
would like to thank the Upurli Upurli Nguratja Aboriginal Corporation for their heritage surveying of proposed drill areas.
The Alkaline Intrusive Complex is a great address to find a rare earth or niobium enriched carbonatite but also
geological interpretation of the historical drilling at Niobe has outlined a very large gallium system with clay hosted

Planned Exploration Drill Program
Drill targets for potential carbonatites and gallium mineralisation have been identified using geochemical results
from historical aircore drilling combined with geophysical datasets. A 3,000m drill program will test four
geophysical targets with potential to host rare earth and niobium mineralised carbonatites, as well as two
geochemical targets that display elevated indicator elements associated with alkaline hosted mineral systems,
including rock chips at Niobe up to 0.4% TREO and 81g/t Ga2O3

and end of hole assay of 1.1% Zr, 311ppm Hf,
895ppm Nb and 348ppm Y in hole MHAC0096 at Nb Target area.
The Niobe prospect represents a compelling gallium target with dimensions of 5 km × 3 km, showing consistent
gallium mineralisation in both the basement syenite and the overlying clay cap. The initial drill program will be

drilled on a 400 m × 400 m grid over an area of 1.6 km × 1.2 km immediately south of drill holes RDA203, RDA204,
and RDA205 on the northern drill line.
The carbonatite targets are shown in Figure 4 below, along with a broader area outlined for gallium assessment.
Cross sections for the two below northern and southern drill lines are shown and referenced in Figures 1 and 2 and
show extensive gallium enrichment over many kilometres in the basement rocks and weathering profile.

northern drill line (Figure 1) and southern drill line (Figure 2).
Getting to this drill ready stage at the Khaleesi Project has been a drawn out process due to prolonged time to grant
tenements, with E39/2415 still not granted and in the Wardens Court, a protracted process for access agreements
with neighbours and challenging logistics for heritage surveys. RareX are pleased to finally have a line of sight for
a drill program.

Appendix 3: JORC Tables
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning
of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• All drilling described in this announcement are vertical air-
core (AC) drill holes and were completed between 2006-
2014 by Anglo Gold Ashanti (70%) and Independence Group
NL (35%)
• Drilling was completed by the same company to blade
refusal using a truck mounted rig. Samples were collected
from the drill rig in single metre intervals and laid on the
ground in rows of ten for geological logging
• Composite samples at intervals determined by the
geologist (up to 4m), weighing approximately 3kg, were
collected from the sample piles using a scoop and
submitted for analysis. This is industry standard for gold
exploration using AC drilling.
• Before October 2013 samples were only assayed for Au.
After October 2013 samples were assayed for gold and
multi-element.
• Where anomalous results were encountered, a return was
made to the intervals on the ground and single metre
samples were re-sampled using a scoop.
• No reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity were discussed in historical reports.
• 1kg rock chips were representative of the outcrops
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).
• Drilling technique used is air-core using a truck mounted rig
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
• Sample recovery was routinely documented during
sampling. The upper 4-8m often has 50% recovery and
below 8m is mostly 100% recovery.
• No measures were described in the historical reports
regarding maximising sample recovery
• There are no details in the historical reports regarding the
relationship between sample recovery/grade and sample
bias

appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
• AC samples were composited for the first pass sampling
• Composite samples at intervals determined by the
geologist (up to 4m), weighing approximately 3kg, were
collected from the sample piles using a scoop and
submitted for analysis. This is industry standard for gold
exploration using AC drilling.
• Before October 2013 samples were only assayed for Au.
After October 2013 samples were assayed for gold and
multi-element.
• Where anomalous results were encountered, a return was
made to the intervals on the ground and single metre
samples were re-sampled using a scoop.
• This technique is industry standard for AC gold exploration
• No quality control procedures were discussed in historical
reports
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative has not been discussed in historical reports
• The sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material sampled
• Rock chips were representative of the source outcrops
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
• Muli-element assay on MHAC0096 was fused bead Laser
Ablation ICP-MS
• 2024 re-assaying of AC drilling pulps assayed via peroxide
fusion digest with ICP OES & MS finish. This is an
appropriate analysis for rare earth elements.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Reported results have not been verified by either an
independent or alternative company personnel.
• Twinned holes have not been drilled
• Rare earth elements, gallium and niobium have been
reported as ppm. The assays are then converted to oxides
via the following stochiometric conversion factors: La2O3
1.1728, CeO2 1.2284, Pr6O11 1.2082, Nd2O3 1.1664, Sm2O3

Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drillholes (collar and downhole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
• Drill hole collars have been surveyed with a handheld
GPS2000 and have an accuracy of 4m
• All coordinates are in GDA94 MGA Zone 51
• Accurate topographic control is poor. The terrain is flat and
for mineral exploration the public topographic maps and
DTM from aerial magnetic surveys are sufficient.
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
• Drill hole spacing is considered appropriate for establishing
the presence of elevated niobium, gallium and rare earths
within the Khaleesi alkaline intrusion complex.
• Geological and grade continuity has not been established
and is not appropriate for a mineral resource estimate
• Composite samples at intervals determined by the
geologist (up to 4m), weighing approximately 3kg, were
collected from the sample piles using a scoop and
submitted for analysis.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
• Ore grade Nb, Ga or rare earths mineralisation has not been
established as yet and relationship with possible structures
is unknown.
• No sampling bias has been identified from historical drill
results
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
• Rock chips were transported from site to the laboratory by
RareX personal
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
• No audits or reviews have been commissioned by RareX. It
is unknown whether Anglo Gold Ashanti has had audit or
reviews done.

Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
• Little exploration of note was completed on the project
area prior to the discovery of Tropicana Gold deposit in
2005 which is located 100km to the north east along
strike. After the discovery of Tropicana, Anglo Gold
Ashanti pegged large portions of the Northern Foreland
unit and completed systematic surface geochemistry,
geophysics, and AC drilling over hundreds of square
kilometres and is still active in the area. During this period
Luchini gold prospect was discovered in 2012 on the
northern quadrant of the Khaleesi alkaline intrusion
complex (KAIC) with best intersection of 10m @ 1.83g/t
Au. Anglo formed a joint venture with IGO in 2015 over the
eastern half of the Khaleesi project exploring for
magmatic Ni-Cu deposits similar to Nova-Bollinger
200km to the south west in the Albany Fraser Belt. In 2016
400m x 400m gravity was completed over most of the
KAIC, several square kilometres of moving loop EM, and
2000m of AC drilling led to the discovery of Red Dragon
Ni-Cu-Co prospect within the KAIC. Red dragon was drilled
with EIS funded RC (7 holes) and diamond (3 holes)
drilling in 2016. A weakly mineralised magmatic Ni-Cu
sulphide intrusion was drilled down to 400m. In 2018-
2022 Fortescue Metals explored the project for Au and
conducted magnetics, surface sampling and AC drilling.
An age date was also completed by UWA on the KAIC with
a likely magmatic crystallisation of ca 2000 Ma which is
the same age as Mt Weld and Ponton.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The Khaleesi alkaline intrusive complex (KAIC) is located
on the western edge of the Albany Fraser Belt in the
Northern Foreland metagranite unit. The Northern Forland
unit is interpreted to be reworked Yilgarn Craton granites.
The project is located adjacent to the Mulga Rocks
uranium-rare earths-base metals deposits in the Canning
Basin. Reprocessing of the magnetics data by Resource
Potentials has identified a 20km intrusion complex with
ring features evident on the northern boundary and
internal features which may represent sub-intrusions.

core from Red Dragon also offer furthe
