- Superior drilling results continue to exceed the Company’s expectations and are expanding Tanbreez at vast scale and build upon very successful past Tanbreez drilling results.
- Consistent uniformity across the deposits intersecting ultra high-grade rare earth element mineralisation intersected in all four reported holes, with total rare earth oxide (TREO) grades between 0.48% and 0.55%.
- High proportion of heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) 27.0% of HREO, reinforcing the deposit’s strategic value.
- Significant zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) grades of 1.86–1.99% across all holes.
- Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) assays between 90–100 ppm, providing a potential additional economic credit.
- All holes drilled vertically (-90°) through sub horizontal, stratiform kakortokite layers, intersecting mineralisation at approximately true thicknesses.
- Mineralisation remains open at depth in all reported holes.
- Drilling confirms continuity of grade and mineralogy across multiple sections of the Fjord Deposit, consistent with historical data.
- The holes are part of the ongoing 2024–2025 Fjord Resource Upgrade program, with over 1,500 m drilled to date in 2025 and further assays pending (due late Aug–Oct 2025).
