Commenting on the June 2024 Quarter, Managing Director and CEO, Travis Beinke said:
“Reflecting on the first half of 2024, I am encouraged by the progress we have made advancing the
Koppamurra Rare Earth Project. We have identified an alternate development pathway via a high-grade
progressive heap leach and rapid rehabilitation approach.
In addition, our exploration efforts have identified further shallow, high-grade mineralisation both north
and south of the existing Mineral Resource, supporting the potential widespread nature of the
mineralisation.
We have also expanded our clean energy transition metals portfolio with the addition of three early-stage
uranium exploration projects. These projects provide additional opportunities for growth, flexibility, and
value creation for our shareholders.
I would also like to commend the Australian Government on its leadership and vision introducing the
Critical Minerals Production Tax Incentive (CMPTI). This initiative is an important step in supporting the
‘Future Made in Australia’ strategy and will help to unlock value in the critical minerals industry.
We have provided feedback on the CMPTI consultation paper and have outlined our view that the
processing of ore to produce a Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC), like what we propose to do at
Koppamurra, should be included as an eligible activity under the proposed CMPTI. We look forward to
further engagement with the Government as part of the ongoing consultation process with industry.
I am confident that we are on track to deliver significant value to our shareholders in the coming years.
Our focus remains on advancing the Koppamurra Rare Earth Project and expanding our clean energy
transition metals portfolio.”
Executive Summary
Australian Rare Earths Limited (ASX: AR3) is pleased to provide an update on progress made during the
quarter ended 30 June 2024. AR3 has achieved significant milestones in its exploration and development
projects, with a strong focus on enhancing value for shareholders and contributing to the clean energy
transition.
Koppamurra Rare Earths Province
During the quarter, the Company made significant advancements in metallurgical testwork identifying a
high-grade progressive heap leach and rapid rehabilitation development pathway at Koppamurra. This
approach aligns with AR3's commitment to developing a sustainable alternative supply of rare earths
essential for the clean energy transition.
Since 2021, AR3 has drilled over 65,000 meters at the Koppamurra Rare Earths Project, leading to the
definition of a significant Mineral Resource (ASX, 19 September 2023), and demonstrating extensive
mineralisation across the province.
AR3’s regional exploration program, undertaken over the reporting period, discovered mineralised
clays further north of the Koppamurra Resource, with assays revealing similar grades, thickness, and
rare earth magnet content to the existing resource. In addition, the Company announced extensive
shallow clay-hosted rare earth element (REE) mineralisation extending 60 kilometres south of the
flagship Koppamurra Resource. This discovery significantly expands the potential footprint of the
province, with high-grade clays and notable dysprosium content. This auger program will guide the next
exploration stage in the southern region and supports the potential for widespread REE mineralisation.
Overland Uranium Project
As part of the broadening of its clean energy transition metals portfolio the Company entered into an
Option Agreement to purchase 100% of Valrico Resources Pty Ltd (“Valrico”), which holds the rights to
the Overland Uranium Project, in a 1,981 km² tenement package located within the Murray Basin, South
Australia.
This strategic transaction enhances AR3’s exploration portfolio, adding uranium to its existing focus on
rare earths. AR3 further expanded the Overland Uranium Project by adding an additional 1,000km² of
prospective tenure thereby securing a commanding position in this potential new uranium province. The
inclusion of uranium into AR3's exploration portfolio provides additional opportunities for growth,
flexibility, and value creation for shareholders.
The results of the prospectivity analysis at Overland are highly encouraging, with multiple targets
identified, having strong potential for in-situ recovery (ISR) amenable, sedimentary-hosted uranium
deposits. AR3 is well-positioned to leverage its team's experience in uranium exploration to advance
Overland and deliver significant value. This project is a key part of AR3's strategy to explore and potentially
develop transition metals for a decarbonised future, with uranium playing a critical role in the global clean
energy mix.
Financial Position
AR3 maintains a strong cash position, enabling the Company to assess additional opportunities to enhance
its exploration portfolio of energy transition metals. This financial strength underpins AR3's capacity to
strike attractive deals to bring new, highly prospective exploration and development projects into its
portfolio and thereby generate value for shareholders, while continuing to drive the development of its
flagship project at Koppamurra.
Operational Review
Koppamurra Exploration Results
During the quarter, AR3 reported a fourth and final update of assay results from its drilling campaign at
the Koppamurra rare earths project in South Australia. The program, completed in December 2023,
covered 8,750 meters for 694 holes, focusing on extending known mineralisation and resource upgrades.
The last batch of assays, from road verge and paddock drilling targeting resource extension north of
Koppamurra, are similar to existing results and boost confidence in the resource's regional extent. These
assays discovered and defined new shallow high-grade mineralisation outside the existing resource area,
supporting the widespread nature of a high-grade subset of the resource at Koppamurra.
All assays have been received, and an update to the Koppamurra Mineral Resource Estimate and
Exploration Target is expected in the September 2024 quarter (ASX 24 April 2024).
High-grade mineralisation intersected includes:
o KM5412, 4m @ 2,020 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) from 5m, with 17.6% combined
Neodymium/Praseodymium (Nd/Pr) and 2.2 % Dysprosium (Dy)
o KM5580, 2m @ 1,798 ppm TREO from 7m, with 20.2% combined Nd/Pr and 2.4% Dy
o KM5596, 3m @ 1,409 ppm TREO from 10m, with 16.7% combined Nd/Pr and 2.6% Dy
o KM5441, 3m @ 1,152 ppm TREO from 2m, with 18.7% combined Nd/Pr and 1.6% Dy
o KM5510, 2m @ 1,070 ppm TREO from 4m, with 21.7% combined Nd/Pr and 3.7% Dy
o KM5392, 4m @ 902 ppm TREO from 8m, with 22.7% combined Nd/Pr and 1.9% Dy

In June 2024, AR3 announced that assay results from its roadside hand auger sampling had identified
shallow, clay-hosted REE mineralisation extending 60 kilometres south of its Koppamurra Resource in
South Australia. The low-impact program targeted shallow REE mineralisation on AR3’s new southern
tenements EL6942 and EL6943.
Assays confirmed extensive mineralised clay, opening up the southern tenements for further exploration
and showing the district's rare earth potential. The results demonstrated shallow clays with REE grades
and assemblages similar to the Koppamurra Resource, including the critical heavy rare earth dysprosium,
which was found at levels up to 4.0% of the TREO.
The program, from February to May 2024, covered large portions of EL6942 and EL6943 using the region's
road verge network. A total of 1,047 hand drilled auger holes were sampled at an average depth of 1.1m,
with 371 samples analysed. Over 70% of the holes intersected clay, and significant shallow mineralised
clays were found in the southern part of EL6943. Some areas, like the northwestern portion of EL6942,
remain prospective for deeper mineralisation, out of the reach of hand drilled auger holes.
Of the 371 samples analysed, 35% contained >350ppm TREO and 7% contained >750 ppm TREO. The
results are encouraging due to the shallow nature of the mineralised clays occurring over 60km from the
Koppamurra Resource with comparable grades.
The auger program will guide the next exploration stage in the southern region and supports the potential
for widespread REE mineralisation.

Progressive Heap Leach and Rapid Rehabilitation Development Pathway
During the quarter, AR3 advanced metallurgical testwork on its Koppamurra rare earths project. Results
show a positive development path using progressive heap leach and rapid rehabilitation, improving on
previous tank slurry leach studies. This method allows efficient rare earth extraction from high-grade clays
through on-site heap leaching near the mine pit.
The testwork to date has achieved Magnet Rare Earths (MRE) recoveries up to 72% (ranging from 43% to
72%). The progressive heap leach method offers lower costs, scalability, and improved environmental
sustainability:
o Low water consumption
o Reduced power consumption
o Rapid rehabilitation
Testwork also showed lower impurities and higher rare earth in solution (ASX 2 April 2024).

Expansion into the Overland Uranium Project
During the quarter, the Company entered into an Option Agreement to purchase 100% of Valrico
Resources Pty Ltd (“Valrico”), which holds the rights to the Overland Uranium Project located within the
Murray Basin, South Australia.
This strategic transaction enhances AR3’s exploration portfolio, adding uranium to its existing focus on
rare earths. The Overland Uranium Project covers around 1,981 km2 and is ~220km southwest of Boss
Energy’s Honeymoon Mine. AR3 is targeting paleochannel sediments similar to those mined via in-situ
recovery methods in Boss Energy’s operations, aligning with its clean energy focus and leveraging its
uranium exploration expertise (ASX 3 April 2024).
The Company also applied for Exploration License ELA 2024/00022, adjacent to the Overland Uranium
Project. Once granted, this will increase the Project area by ~1,000km2, totalling ~3,000km2 (see Figure 6)
(ASX 15 April 2024).

ELA2024/00022
Northern Queensland Rare Earths Project
No activities were conducted over the Company’s Queensland projects during the reporting period. The
final tenement in Dalrymple Project area, EPM28166, was granted 27 June 2024. Applications are
currently pending for an additional 800 km² of exploration tenure, which will cover new areas including
the Forty Mile Scrub, Sandy Tate, and Oaky Valley prospects, part of the Kennedy Project area. These new
areas are expected to provide opportunities for future exploration and potential rare earths resource
discoveries.

Corporate Updates:
Board and Management
Travis Beinke was appointed as the Managing Director of the Company and joined the Board, in addition
to his ongoing responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This new role was announced on 3
April 2024.
During the quarter, Rick Pobjoy stepped down from the Board. However, he continues to contribute
significantly to the Company as Chief Technical Officer (CTO), where he leads exploration and project
development initiatives. This change was also announced on 3 April 2024.
Non-executive Director and Company Co-Founder, Bryn Jones, decided to step down from the Board due
to his increasing external commitments whilst stating his intention to remain a major shareholder of the
Company for the foreseeable future (ASX 5 June 2024).
Investor Webinar
During the quarter Managing Director and CEO, Travis Beinke, held a webinar to answer questions from
investors via the Company’s investor hub platform. The recording was released to the ASX on 1 July 2024,
after the quarter ended. The webinar provided investors the opportunity to ask questions and learn more
about Australian Rare Earths’ progress on the Koppamurra Project, a major deposit of valuable rare earth
elements in South Australia and Victoria. Travis also talked about the Company’s plans to develop a
sustainable supply of metals for clean energy, including the recent addition of the Overland Uranium
Project in South Australia (ASX announcements 21 June and 1 July 2024).
Events Subsequent to the Reporting Period
Subsequent to the end of the period the Company announced further progress in the metallurgical
testwork for its Koppamurra rare earths project in South Australia. The completion of four additional heap
leach column tests on high-grade mineralised clays from Koppamurra has demonstrated consistent
physical and metallurgical responses across various ore types, and spatially diverse source locations within
the Project area. This validation strengthens the improved approach for efficient extraction of magnet
rare earth’s, with short-term heap leach positioned adjacent to the mine pit (8 July 2024).
The Company also announced it had applied for two further exploration license applications prospective
for uranium mineralisation amenable to in-situ recovery mining in South Australia;
•
ELA 2024/00044 was lodged by AR3 based on the prospective Triggs Bore prospect with historical
drilling intersecting indications of uranium mineralisation within Eyre Formation sediments, host
of the Four Mile and Honeymoon uranium deposits (ASX 16 July 2024).
•
ELA 2024/00045 was lodged by AR3 in the prospective Callabonna Sub-basin to pursue an
anomalous downhole gamma response identified in previous drilling at the Hamilton Creek
prospect (ASX 23 July 2024).
