January 2023 - Kennedy Beach, Cape Arid National Park, near Esperance, Western Australia

When we reached the end of the trail we were rewarded with the best beach of the trip!

It was pristine, there was no seaweed, the waves were pretty calm, it was shallow so you could walk pretty far out, there was a nice clean rock to lay out and put our stuff on, and even a little pool of water next to the rock filled with ice cold Antarctic water we used to keep our non-alcoholic beers cold! I think we even found a rock completely full of abalone in the wild just chillin there!

Best part is we had it all to ourselves! Since we found our beach we hung out for a while and enjoyed our packed sandwiches and cold non-alcoholic beers!

I've been missing Australia since I got back 6 months ago but with this heat wave I'm really wishing I was back in Australia right now!

🚀 Astral Resources (ASX: AAR) Reports Best-Ever Drill Result at Theia Deposit, Mandilla Gold Project 🏆

📍 Diamond drill hole MDRCD918 has delivered an outstanding 1,079 gram-metres of gold, the most mineralised hole ever drilled at Mandilla, highlighting significant resource upgrade potential ahead of the Mandilla Resource Estimate update expected in Q1 2025.

🔑 Key Highlights:

Exceptional results from MDRCD918:

1.0m @ 223.3g/t Au from 15m

9.6m @ 27.6g/t Au from 194m, including 0.95m @ 227.6g/t Au

2.4m @ 169.1g/t Au from 225m

24.9m @ 4.14g/t Au from 362m, including 1.0m @ 60.6g/t Au

MDRCD917 highlights:

72.2m @ 1.15g/t Au from 326m

2.2m @ 15.4g/t Au from 317.6m

🌟 These results support the goal of upgrading deeper Inferred Mineral Resources to the higher-confidence Indicated category, paving the way for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study.

🔍 Exploration Updates:

Feysville Gold Project: RC and diamond drilling underway to test new targets and improve understanding of high-grade mineralisation.

Air core drilling of 6.3 line kilometres has commenced, exploring structural targets at Feysville.

💬 Managing Director Marc Ducler:

“Drill hole MDRCD918 represents a landmark result for Mandilla, with its gram-metres accumulation exceeding all previous results. These latest assays demonstrate the robustness of our resource model and position us well for the Pre-Feasibility Study."

🌍 Mandilla and Feysville are located near Kalgoorlie, WA – a hub for Australian gold exploration.

📈 Investor Outlook:

The exceptional results from the in-fill diamond drilling at the Theia Deposit, highlighted by record-breaking gold mineralisation, underscore significant resource potential at Astral’s Mandilla Gold Project. With multiple high-grade intersections aligning strongly with the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), these findings are expected to upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated status, increasing project confidence and investment appeal.

With gold prices up by an astounding 26% since the start of the previous year and widely predicted to trade above $3,000 per troy ounce over the next five years, the precious metal continues to be a beacon of stability for investors. This milestone positions Astral to capitalize on the strong market outlook, further enhancing the project's economic viability and long-term investor returns.

EPA Recommends VRX Silica’s Arrowsmith North Development Proposal

Western Australia, 23 January 2025 – VRX Silica Limited (ASX: VRX) has achieved a significant milestone with the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia (EPA) releasing its Assessment Report for the Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project. The report recommends the development proposal proceed, subject to specific conditions that VRX has accepted following consultations.

The recommendation marks a critical step forward in the environmental approval process for the project, further solidifying VRX’s path to commencing operations.

Review Period and Ministerial Approval The publication of the EPA’s Assessment Report triggers a statutory three-week review period. During this time, further input may be provided, and any appeals will be addressed by an independent convenor. Upon completion of this process, the proposal will be submitted to the Minister for Environment for final approval under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act.

This announcement follows the EPA’s publication of VRX’s Response to Submissions (RtS) on 18 November 2024, highlighting steady progress toward final environmental approvals.

Significant Milestone for VRX Silica Bruce Maluish, Managing Director of VRX Silica, hailed the EPA’s recommendation as a major achievement for the company.

“The EPA’s endorsement of the Arrowsmith North Silica Sand Project demonstrates the thorough environmental assessment and consultation undertaken. This milestone brings us closer to launching a transformative industry in the Midwest region of Western Australia, delivering long-term economic and employment benefits,” Mr Maluish said.

“After the review period and resolution of any appeals, the proposal will be presented to the Minister for final approval, marking the culmination of determined efforts by VRX and its consultants.”

Environmental Safeguards The EPA’s report outlines stringent conditions to ensure environmental protection and sustainable operations. These include requirements for rehabilitation, mine closure planning, environmental monitoring, and regular reporting to relevant authorities. VRX has aligned these conditions with its commitments outlined in the RtS, reflecting the company’s dedication to best practices in environmental management.

Project Overview The Arrowsmith North project, located 270 km north of Perth, is set to produce over two million tonnes of high-grade silica sand annually over a 25-year mine life. The silica sand will be supplied to markets including foundry, container glass, and flat glass production, primarily serving Asia.

In addition to Arrowsmith North, VRX is advancing the Muchea Silica Sand Project, 50 km north of Perth, which will supply ultra-high-grade silica sand for solar panels and high-tech glass applications. The Boyatup Silica Sand Project, located 100 km east of Esperance, will further expand VRX’s production capacity for the glass industry.

Market Growth and Investment Potential The global silica sand market, valued at US$6.12 billion in 2023, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%, reaching US$12.13 billion by 2032. With its advanced projects and strategic location in Western Australia, VRX is well-positioned to capitalise on this growing demand.

VRX Silica’s share price has seen a 27.91% increase, currently sitting at $0.049, with a market capitalisation of $36.44 million. Over the past 52 weeks, the share price has ranged between $0.026 and $0.11.

About VRX Silica Limited VRX Silica Limited is an Australian company specialising in silica sand development, with 100% ownership of several projects across Western Australia. The company’s projects, including Arrowsmith North, Muchea, and Boyatup, place it at the forefront of the global silica sand market.

Fuel is the backbone of all industries within Western Australia, from agriculture and mining to transport and marine. It is what keeps the industries running because it enables them to conduct their daily operations effectively. The difference that a reliable fuel service provider can make in keeping the operations going cannot be overstated. Whether it is timely delivery or the quality of premium fuels, a good bulk fuel service provider in WA should ensure all these factors.
