• Assays received for nine rock-chip samples returned anomalous total rare earth oxide results of up to 362 parts per million, confirming the REE prospectivity at the Hawker and Kanyaka prospects
• The assays also identified a third area that is considered prospective for REE mineralisation, dubbed Mt Arden, which returned results of up to 588 parts per million total rare earth oxides and eight per cent copper
