RC drilling confirms gold and REE
mineralisation at Laverton
Highlights
•
REE anomalism intersected in a maiden 5-hole RC drill program near Mt Weld,
including 12m @ 5828 ppm TREO (with 4m @ 1.19% TREO) in LVRC04. Multiple
intervals above 1000 ppm TREO in both LVRC04 and LVRC05.
•
Structurally hosted hydrothermal gold system confirmed, with anomalous multielement geochemistry (Sb, W, As, Bi, Mo, Sc) suggesting high temperature fluids
may be originating from a nearby intrusive body.
•
This REE metal signature distinguishes Catalina’s Laverton Project as a unique
mineralising environment, complementing the established gold potential.
•
Follow up extensional gold drilling is underway, with REE testing integrated into
the drilling workflow via portable XRF field analysis.
•
Metallurgical test work to be undertaken at ANSTO, Australia’s national authority
on critical minerals processing and a global leader in REE recovery research
Catalina Resources Ltd (“Catalina” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that final results pending from
a recent five-hole RC drilling program within the Laverton Project have confirmed the presence of a
structurally hosted high temperature mineralising system. The geochemical signature is consistent with
major Eastern Goldfields deposits, including Wallaby, Granny Smith and Sunrise Dam, illustrated in Figure
1.
The RC drilling program – carried out in July 2025 – targeting both gold and REE mineralisation, has now
received all remaining results.
Previously announced results, targeting gold, returned intercepts such as 18m @ 1.16 g/t Au from 127m,
including 3m @ 3.41 g/t Au (LVRC02) ¹. Before the RC drilling, air core drilling intersected 28m @ 1.09g/t
Au from 57m (LVAC049) ².

In holes targeted to gold mineralisation, LVRC01, LVRC02 and LVRC03, anomalous multi-elements
including Sb, W, As, Bi, Mo and Sc were also intersected, pointing to laterally continuous mineralisation
possibly extending to depth. This geochemical fingerprint is characteristic of high-temperature, graniterelated gold systems that have supported some of the Goldfields’ largest mines.

Importantly, rare earth anomalism was also recorded in holes LVRC04 and LVRC05, with a best interval
of:
LVRC04
LVRC05
➢ 12m @ 5828 ppm TREO from 64m including
4m @ 1.19% TREO at 68m
➢ 12m @ 2398 ppm TREO from 20m

Other intercepts include:
LVRC04
LVRC05
➢ 4m @ 804 ppm TREO from 56m
➢ 16m @ 1531 ppm TREO from 20m
➢ 16m @ 1425 ppm TREO from 44m
➢ 4m @ 1108 ppm TREO from 100m
Catalina notes that the REE anomalism observed in LVRCC04 and LVRC05 drilling builds on results
previously reported from earlier aircore programs. AC drilling returned multiple zones of REE enrichment,
such as:
•
•
9m @ 7,565 ppm TREO from 47m, including 4m @ 13,406 ppm (1.34% TREO) from 49m in
LVAC037 ²; and
5m @ 4,880 ppm TREO from 63m, including 1m @ 10,689 ppm (1.06% TREO) from 66m in
LVAC044².
The REE mineralisation occurs in a flat-lying saprolite rich clay horizon beneath a 15-20m blanket of
transported colluvium, illustrated in Figure 2. The new RC results confirm that this anomalism is both
repeatable and geologically consistent, further strengthening the case for Mt Weld intrusive influence.
These results provide the first indication of REE fertility in the weathered profile at the Laverton Project.

The location of RC holes LVRC01 – LVRC05 is illustrated in Figure 3. Collar coordinates and specifications
of the RC drilling is in Appendix 1. All downhole REE assays of the RC holes targeting REE anomalism
(LVRC04 and LVRC05) are in Appendix 2.
Figure 3: Area of anomalous geochemical gold halo interpreted from previous aircore drilling.
Location of RC holes LVRC01 – LVRC05 is also shown.
Drilling also intersected anomalous neodymium (Nd₂O₃ at 0.15%) and praseodymium (Pr₂O₃ at 490 ppm)
within the high-grade REE zone in LVRC04 (4m @ 13406ppm TREO). Nd and Pr are critical rare earths
used in permanent magnets for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies, highlighting the
project’s broader critical minerals potential.
Geological review indicates that REE anomalism may reflect both Mt Weld-related fluids and underlying
granite-derived clays. This REE metal signature distinguishes Catalina’s Laverton Project as a unique
mineralising environment, complementing the established gold potential.
To ensure value is fully understood, metallurgical test work will now be undertaken at the Australian
Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Australia’s national authority on critical minerals
processing and a global leader in REE recovery research.
While gold remains Catalina’s primary exploration focus, the REE results provide an additional layer of
opportunity for existing shareholders. REE analysis has been integrated into the ongoing workflow of the
gold drilling using portable XRF analysis and targeted laboratory assays.

Executive Director Ross Cotton commented:
“These results continue to highlight the potential of our Laverton Project, situated in one of Australia’s
most prolific gold districts. The confirmation of a mineralising system, supported by multi-element
geochemistry and rare earth anomalism, reinforces the quality of the ground we are exploring. While our
immediate focus remains on advancing the gold potential, the presence of REE enrichment adds an
additional dimension of interest and opportunity for Catalina.”
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Executive Director.

Drilling techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases, more explanation
may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
Catalina Resources completed 5 RC holes near Mt
Weld, Laverton over the period 15 July 2025 to 19 July
2025.
• Drill samples were collected by Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling. Depths for each hole drilled are provided
in Appendix 1.
• RC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples using a
Meztke Cone Splitter in calico bags and weighing 2 to
3 kg each. All samples were delivered to the Bureau
Veritas (BV) Labs in Kalgoorlie.
• In the lab, each sample was weighed, sorted and dried
and then pulverised to 80% passing 75 µ. A 30-gram
split was obtained for fire assay for the gold analysis.
• After fire assay analysis, samples were transported to
BV labs in Perth.
• In Perth, a total of 47 elements is reported by the
MA102 (mixed acid) analytical technique, including Cu,
Pb, Zn, Bi, As, Ag, Ni, Sb and REEs.
• The samples are considered to effectively represent
the drilling at the point of collection. Sampling included
Catalina Resources standard QAQC procedures.
• Quality control of the assaying comprised the
collection of a duplicate sample every hole, along with
regular insertion of industry (OREAS) standards
(certified reference material) and blanks.
• Assay results have been received for all holes.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was performed by
Topdrill from Kalgoorlie, using a 5.25-inch diameter
drill bit with 6 m length drill rods with automatic rod
handlers. Holes were drilled at an angle of -60⁰.
Rig was a track mounted drill rig with onboard
compressor rated at 1300 cfm/500 psi and a booster
compressor.
RC drilling produces dry rock chips, as large capacity
air compressors dry the rock out ahead of the
advancing drill bit.
RC drilling achieves better penetration than RAB or
aircore and is more cost effective than diamond
drilling. However, excessive ground water can slow
drilling rates.
Downhole Surveys employed a downhole Gyro
making readings every 10m.
Sample recovery was assessed visually via the
sample size collected into the calico bags. Recovery
was usually 80-90% but was lower (50%) in wet
samples.
Ground water (not salty) caused wet samples
occasionally, so splitting of the sample was not
possible.
In ground sumps were dug prior to drilling
commencing, to collect the excess groundwater
expelled by the rig.
Catalina Resources does not anticipate any sample
bias from loss/gain of material from the drill rig cyclone.
Geological logging of drill chips was undertaken.
Sample number, carbonate content, magnetite
content, sulphide content, lithology, depth, GPS
location was recorded.
No geotechnical logging was possible as the RC
drilling method does not allow RQD recording.
Geological logging was qualitative at 1m intervals and
was recorded at the sample depth.
