EXPLORATION & GEOLOGY REPORT<br />

The <strong>2020</strong>-21 financial year saw significant exploration activity at<br />

Browns Range. Several drilling programs totalling 8,500 metres<br />

of reverse circulation drilling have been undertaken during the<br />

reporting period with the main focus continuing to be the<br />

Dazzler deposit and the Banshee South area.<br />

The primary objective of the program was to increase the heavy rare earth Mineral Resource and life of<br />

mine potential at Browns Range (Figure 1). Higher-grade resources of the Dazzler unconformity related<br />

type will be the priority going forward targeting radiometric anomalies within the south-east corridor from<br />

Dazzler to the Northern Territory border (12km strike). This area includes the Rogue, Pulse and Quicksilver<br />

targets (Figure 2).<br />
