MinRex Resources Limited announced the first RC drilling results targeting the rare earth elements over the Coondina Li-Sn-Ta-REE Project (E45/4266). The first-pass drilling was designed to target the historic tin-tantalum workings operated by Greenbushes Limited until 1987. Highlights: The company has completed the maiden drilling program over the historic tin workings at the Coondina Project in the East Pilbara; The program comprised drilling 80 shallow vertical RC holes for 1,760m to test for rare earth element (REE) mineralisation, which represent a minor portion of the prospective area of the tenement E45/4266; Drilling was undertaken on 7 lines across and limited to the disturbed historic tin-tantalum mining area; Assays have been received for a suite of elements including Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE).

Notable intercepts include: 12m at 730ppm TREE from 3m (CNRC052); 9m at 564ppm TREE from 3m (CNRC054); 6m at 567ppm TREE from 6m (CNRC056); 6m at 640ppm TREE from 6m (CNRC060); The drilling results confirm the company's view that the potential of the remainder of the Coondina Project to host REE.
