Meeka Metals Limited announced ongoing high-grade rare earth assays from Circle Valley. The rare earths accumulate within the saprolite clay horizon creating thick, near surface mineralised zones below shallow transported cover. Drilling shows the cover profile shallows to the northwest of Circle Valley, coincident with the highest-grade mineralisation recorded to date, 6,894ppm TREO.

The mineralisation also persistently demonstrates a high proportion of the grade, up to 31% in these results, as valuable NdPr magnet rare earths. Notable intersections (above 500ppm TREO) from this tranche of assays include: 4m @ 1,940ppm TREO (20% NdPr) and 3g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC234), 8m @ 1,102ppm TREO (22% NdPr) and 15g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC252), 4m @ 938ppm TREO (30% NdPr) and 8g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC344), 8m @ 1,433ppm TREO (26% NdPr) and 21g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC244), 6m @ 1,069ppm TREO (15% NdPr) and 13g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC306), 8m @ 727ppm TREO (11% NdPr) and 43g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC333), 12m @ 2,690ppm TREO (26% NdPr) and 26g/t Scandium from 20m (22CVAC250), 4m @ 941ppm TREO (29% NdPr) and 11g/t Scandium from 24m (22CVAC343), 8m @ 754ppm TREO (18% NdPr) and 20g/t Scandium from 24m (22CVAC239), 8m @ 2,766ppm TREO (27% NdPr) and 18g/t Scandium from 28m (22CVAC212), 8m @ 2,814ppm TREO (30% NdPr) and 37g/t Scandium from 40m (22CVAC354), 8m @ 883ppm TREO (23% NdPr) and 47g/t Scandium from 40m (22CVAC335), 7m @ 1,208ppm TREO (26% NdPr) and 31g/t Scandium from 44m (22CVAC259), 8m @ 828ppm TREO (20% NdPr) and 35g/t Scandium from 52m (22CVAC359), 4m @ 2,787ppm TREO (31% NdPr) and 41g/t Scandium from 56m (22CVAC341), These follow high-grade assays released previously, including: 8m @ 2,245ppm TREO (28% NdPr) and 61g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC188), 8m @ 1,432ppm TREO (29% NdPr) and 15g/t Scandium from 28m (22CVAC237), 8m @ 1,236ppm TREO (23% NdPr) and 43g/t Scandium from 20m (22CVAC251), 8m @ 1,003ppm TREO (29% NdPr) and 19g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC240), 12m @ 799ppm TREO (13% NdPr) and 19g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC241), 12m @ 719ppm TREO (17% NdPr) and 17g/t Scandium from 16m (22CVAC213), 4m @ 1,269ppm TREO (29% NdPr) and 61g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC030), 16m @ 1,098ppm TREO (18% NdPr) and 15g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC029), 12m @ 803ppm TREO (11% NdPr) from 12m (22CVAC024), 8m @ 722ppm TREO (18% NdPr) and 61g/t Scandium from 12m (22CVAC029). Infill and extensional drilling will recommence at Circle Valley in January 2023 following a significantly expanded drilling campaign at St Anne's in the Murchison.

The 2023 Circle Valley program will focus on the north-western zone where high TREO grades and a high proportion of NdPr elements are coincident with shallow cover.
