Australian Critical Minerals (ASX:ACM) has announced promising results from its maiden RC drilling program and high-definition shallow auger sampling program at the Rankin Dome Rare Earth Project, located near Southern Cross in the Yilgarn of Western Australia.

‘Outstanding’ Shallow High-Grade Results

The Company reported significant results from the Rankin Dome exploration with thick intrusive hosted rare earth mineralisation identified across the tenements.

All six of the planned RC drillholes have returned high-grade Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO), with intervals above 1000ppm TREO, and several of the holes reportedly ended in mineralisation zones.

Highlights include:

• Best individual intercept was 1 metre at 2534 ppm TREO within a near-surface interval of 5 metre at 1641ppm TREO in Hole RDRC001

• Longest intercept of 111 metres at 979ppm TREO from 3 metres in RDRC006

• Highest multiple-metre intercept of 3 metres at 2026 ppm TREO from 12 metres in RDRC001

• Magnetic rare earths (Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy) comprised 20% to 26% of significant result intervals
