SUMMARY

The Project is located 18km south-east of the Great Northern Highway at Halls Creek and 180km south of the Argyle Diamond Mine in the East Kimberley Region of Western Australia. The project site is accessed from the Great Northern Highway, which links Broome and Derby (450km from site) to Wyndham (380km from site), at Halls Creek (Figure 1). It contains large resources of the rare metals zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf)and gallium (Ga), and potential to host significant resources of the heavy rare earth elements yttrium (Y), dysprosium (Dy), europium (Eu) and terbium (Tb).



The Project has estimated JORC compliant resources comprising indicated resources of 8.83 million tonnes (previously explored by Union Oil Development Corporation – now Molycorp Inc. (NYSE: MCP)) grading 0.76% ZrO2, 0.09% Y2O3, 0.31% Nb2O5 and 0.022% Ta2O5 from surface to 100m depth, and inferred resources of 13.25 million tonnes grading 0.81% ZrO2, 0.10% Y2O3, 0.32% Nb2O5 and 0.024% Ta2O5 from 100m to 250m depth. Systematic reverse circulation drilling and a number of diamond drill holes along the entire strike length of the deposit on 40-100 metre centres have been previously completed and provide a solid base on which the resource is estimated.
