Hastings Technology Metals Limited (Hastings or the Company) announced drill results at the Auer deposit, part of the Company's Yangibana Rare Earths Project (Yangibana Project) in Western Australia's Gascoyne region. The return of assays from the Auer drilling program completes the results from the Company's hugely successful 2020 Exploration Drill Program at Yangibana, which has successfully extended and expanded the rare earths mineralised resource footprint. Auer, which has a Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource of 2.76Mt @ 1.00% TREO, is one of several deposits that underpin the Yangibana Project. Along with earlier announced results from the drilling program, the Auer assays will be incorporated in the Yangibana Project Mineral Resources Estimate upgrade, which is due to be completed this quarter. The Auer phase of drill spacing successfully demonstrated remarkable consistency within holes and strong continuity of mineralisation between holes. Drilling targeted down-dip mineralised extensions at depth, with most holes intersecting economic intercepts. These infill drilling program results will be assessed over coming weeks to enable a robust resource estimate targeting a high level of JORC 2012 Indicated category resources by the end of the March 2021 Quarter. It is expected that the Indicated resources will have sufficient information on geology and grade continuity to support Yangibana Project mine planning. Auer is becoming a strong future target with 3km of mineralisation already defined, which appears to be parallel and geologically similar to the 8km-long Bald Hill-Simons Find-Frasers trend that was a major feature of the 2020 Exploration Drill Program. Samples were sent to Genalysis Intertek in Perth for analysis using techniques considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation. Samples were analysed for the range of rare earths, rare metals (Nb, Ta, Zr), thorium and uranium and a range of common rock-forming elements (Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, S, Si, Sr). Once assay data were returned, the elemental values were converted to oxides using standard factors. 2020 Exploration Drill Program Delivered: Hastings commenced the 2020 drilling program with a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig mobilised to site in mid-June 2020. The program completed in the December 2020 Quarter was designed to achieve three goals: Validate the existing Bald Hill Deposit Mineral Resource Estimates with close-spaced, grade-control drilling; Increase the Yangibana Project's Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource; and Obtain core samples for additional metallurgical test work and ore characterisation studies. The Auer assays complete the flow of results from the 2020 Exploration Drill Program, which has proven hugely successful and exceeded all expectations for Hastings.
