Why Magnes. Why now.

Broad intervals beginning at surface and the magnet- and heavy-rare-earth mix strengthen the basis for further exploration and process testing, not a resource or economic conclusion.

Exploration stage · Results dated 6 October 2026 · Head-grade assays are not recovery or economics

The opportunity in one screen

Five reasons to follow Magnes now.

Five facts define the opportunity today and the milestones that can strengthen it.

01 · Growing evidence base879

compiled assay holes

7,468.8 m of combined compiled assay drilling. 6 October 2026.

02 · Selected RC interval from surface30 m

1,853 ppm MREO

1,853 ppm MREO in MAV_RC_0063, from surface.

03 · Selected cumulative auger profile8 m

2,194 ppm MREO

from surface, with 2,194 ppm MREO.

04 · Heavy rare-earth subset270 ppm

HREO over 30 m

Including 60 ppm DyTb. Head grade only, not recovery or economic value.

05 · Capital-efficient founder execution — prior companyC$151M+

gross capital accessed

3.9% annualised basic share-count growth from the 2007 post-IPO base through June 2026 while the former platform built reported installed mineral-fertilizer capacity of up to 3.0 Mtpa—not actual production.

Reasons 01–04 summarise dated Magnes project disclosures. Review the results and sources Reason 05 is historical leadership evidence from Amazon Mining/Verde under Cristiano Veloso. It is not Magnes funding, cash, capital expenditure, project economics or development readiness. Review the founder track record

Potential value inflections

The next milestone connects grades to process development.

Reporting of the SGS bench-scale metallurgical results is the next milestone, following reconciliation and technical review. Further drilling, geological modelling and representative metallurgy provide the technical inputs.

  1. NOW

    879 holes compiled

    The combined assay compilation covers 879 holes and 7,468.8 assayed metres at the 25 September cutoff, including prior results and complete or partial coverage. This update covers 822 cumulative auger profiles and 50 additional RC holes, not an all-new 872-hole cohort.

  2. NEXT TECHNICAL WORK

    Build the next evidence

    SGS bench-scale results following reconciliation and technical review; numerical results, commercial recovery and an optimised flowsheet are not established by this release.

  3. AFTER TECHNICAL REVIEW*

    SGS bench-scale announcement

    Reconcile feed, leach liquor, two separately analysed wash stages and residue before reporting the results.

  4. SUBSEQUENT WORK

    Guide the next process-development decisions

    Assess extraction selectivity, impurities, reagents and solid–liquid separation. No commercial recovery or optimised flowsheet is established.

* No numerical results from the bench programme are disclosed in this release. Commercial recovery and an optimised flowsheet are not established. Timing and outcomes depend on reconciliation, review, required approvals, suitable samples, funding, personnel, permits and other risks; no date is guaranteed.

What comes next

The evidence that can strengthen the case.

The next phase is designed to turn geological promise into the inputs required for resource definition and an economic study.

GEOLOGY

Define scale and continuity

Integrate drilling, assays and geology into defensible mineralised domains and resource estimates.

Review the drill record
METALLURGY

Review the SGS bench-scale milestone

SGS bench work covers seven geological samples from four auger holes plus one quality-control duplicate. Leach liquor, two separately analysed washes and residue were tested. Reporting of the SGS bench-scale results is the next milestone, after results reconciliation and technical review.

Earlier diagnostic quantities are reported on the laboratory mg/kg basis. Comparisons of the head and dissolved rare-earth mix describe composition, not extraction recovery.

No numerical results from this programme are disclosed here. An optimised flowsheet and commercial recovery have not been established; timing and outcomes are not guaranteed.

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT

Test the economic pathway

Any later economic study requires resource, metallurgy, engineering, infrastructure and cost assumptions. The October update does not freshly restate a resource or PEA date.

Principal risks

What could change the thesis.

  • The reported drilling may not support a mineral resource, reserve or economic scale.
  • Selected diagnostic leach behaviour may not translate into representative recovery.
  • Mineralogy, impurities, water, reagents, residues, permitting and infrastructure may change the development route.
  • Future work requires capital and may affect timing, ownership or dilution.
