Mt. Weld Rare Earth Element Drill Campaign Underway - TVR

2 May 2023

Corcel Plc (London AIM: CRCL), the extractive industries exploration and development company, with interests in battery metals including nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements, announces that its joint venture partner, Riversgold Limited ("RGL") has begun a drill campaign at the Mt. Weld Rare Earth Elements project in Western Australia.

Highlights

o Drilling has begun on tenement P34/4489 immediately adjacent (1.5km) to Lynas' globally significant Mt Weld rare earths mine

o Contractor appointed to undertake initial seven-hole, 2,000m reverse circulation drilling programme expected to take several weeks with the option to expand meterage

o Programme will test three discrete magnetic anomalies that may represent extensions of the Mt Weld carbonatite intrusive complex

Scott Kaintz, Corcel CEO, commented:

"Following the Farm Out Agreement with Riversgold earlier this year, the RGL team now has the drill bit turning, which in the coming weeks will provide initial exploration results at the property. The outcome at Mt. Weld have been fully derisked to Corcel investors offering attractive potential upside, and the Company looks forward to making further announcements on progress in due course."

Programme Summary

RGL has appointed a drilling contract to complete an initial seven-hole, 2,000m reverse circulation drilling program on Mt. Weld tenement P34/4489. The program will test three discrete magnetic features confirmed through ground magnetic surveying.

The Mt. Weld Project on tenement P34/4489 covers 171 hectares and straddles the access road to Lynas' Mt Weld Mine (see Figure 2). The tenement is predominantly covered by recent transported sediments obscuring the underlying geology , with four discrete undrilled magnetic features (T1-T4) (see Figures 1-3) interpreted to potentially represent carbonatite intrusives associated with the Mt Weld carbonatite intrusive complex 1.5km to the east.

A Farm-in and Joint Venture agreement with RGL was announced on 4 January 2023, allowing RGL to fund the first work programme of AUD 500,000 to earn into a 50% interest in the project.
