Minas Americas

A magnet-rich rare-earth system, with Nd, Pr, Dy and Tb at the centre of the project's strategic focus, now supported by 443 holes of reported assay drilling.

Magnes Rare Earths' 8 September 2026 results combine a 15 m full-hole result from surface at 1.15% TREO with the first reported RC intervals at depth, led by 29 m at 0.58% TREO to the bottom of a 60 m hole.

Drilling results · 8 September 2026

The first RC results add a new depth dimension.

MAV_RC_0012 returned 29 metres from 31 metres to the 60-metre EOH at 5,751 ppm TREO (0.58% TREO) and 1,346 ppm MREO. MAV_AD_0375 returned 15 metres from surface to EOH at 11,480 ppm TREO (1.15% TREO) and 2,830 ppm MREO.

Five of seven RC holes returned elevated intervals to their current depth limits. Comparable grades below EOH and continuity between holes remain untested.

CHAPTER 1 · THROUGH 16 JUNE 2026

The visual below preserves the selected shallow intervals and 253-hole aggregate reported in the June update. It is retained as a dated part of the project record.

Shallow mineralisation repeated across selected June intervals

Shallow. Repeated. Twelve selected new hole-level intervals from the 16 June 2026 assay update, all beginning at surface and compared on one common 0 to 15 metre scale. The intervals are ordered by TREO, not spatial position, with the full 253-hole June dataset summarized separately.
Table 1 of the 16 June 2026 release listed 12 selected new hole-level intervals, each beginning at surface, with drilled lengths from 6 to 14 metres. Selected interval data, in descending TREO order: MAV_AD_0200, 0 to 10 metres, 9,736 ppm TREO and 2,407 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0288, 0 to 10 metres, 9,090 ppm TREO and 2,121 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0299, 0 to 8 metres, 8,998 ppm TREO and 2,327 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0138, 0 to 6 metres, 8,608 ppm TREO and 2,242 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0287, 0 to 6 metres, 8,548 ppm TREO and 2,196 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0237, 0 to 14 metres, 8,527 ppm TREO and 1,954 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0205, 0 to 11 metres, 8,113 ppm TREO and 1,761 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0097, 0 to 8 metres, 7,965 ppm TREO and 1,845 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0077, 0 to 12 metres, 7,927 ppm TREO and 1,811 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0320, 0 to 6 metres, 7,698 ppm TREO and 2,018 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0201, 0 to 12 metres, 7,677 ppm TREO and 1,764 ppm MREO; and MAV_AD_0236, 0 to 8 metres, 7,654 ppm TREO and 1,868 ppm MREO. Across the 253-hole June dataset, the disclosed length-weighted averages were 3,640 ppm TREO and 800 ppm MREO. The 16 June 2026 release reported 94 hole-level composites at or above 4,000 ppm TREO over 826 metres, including 17 at or above 7,000 ppm TREO over 163 metres.

Selected shallow diagnostic leach results

Magnet-Rich in Solution. Five selected shallow SGS diagnostic intervals compared on one common zero-to-700 milligram-per-kilogram scale, with magnet rare-earth oxides highlighted within DREO in solution.
Five selected shallow intervals were tested using the same SGS ICM694 diagnostic method: 0.5 molar ammonium sulphate, nominal pH 4, for 30 minutes. PT-34 from zero to one metre returned 161 milligrams per kilogram MREO in 383 milligrams per kilogram DREO, a 41.9 percent magnet share. PT-34 from one to two metres returned 240 milligrams per kilogram MREO in 578 milligrams per kilogram DREO, a 41.6 percent magnet share. These are two consecutive one-metre intervals from surface. PT-36 from zero to one metre returned 278 milligrams per kilogram MREO in 667 milligrams per kilogram DREO, a 41.6 percent magnet share. PT-42 from zero to one metre returned 167 milligrams per kilogram MREO in 383 milligrams per kilogram DREO, a 43.6 percent magnet share. A later shallow-auger test, MAV_AD_0002 from two to three metres, returned 237 milligrams per kilogram MREO in 492 milligrams per kilogram DREO, a 48.1 percent magnet share. Across the five selected intervals, MREO represented 22.2 to 26.3 percent of TREO in the original samples and 41.6 to 48.1 percent of DREO in solution. This is a composition comparison, not recovery. Each displayed value is a solution concentration, not a recovery percentage. DREO means total desorbable rare-earth oxides expressed as oxide equivalents; MREO comprises the neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium oxides. Values are on the laboratory reporting basis. The tests were diagnostic, not optimised, and the results are selected.

HOW TO READ THE RESULT

An initial solution response.

Four selected 2025 trench intervals and one later auger interval show what entered solution under the same mild diagnostic method. Representative extraction, mass balance and impurity work come next.

Metallurgy and product pathway
Rare earths in solution; uranium below the laboratory detection limit in all three selected results. The exact uranium and thorium concentrations are shown for PT-36, PT-34 and PT-42.
In three selected 2025 primary leach solutions, uranium was reported below 0.04 mg/kg in every result; thorium was reported at 2.59 mg/kg, below 0.20 mg/kg and 2.92 mg/kg. The selected intervals were PT-36 from zero to one metre, with 667 milligrams per kilogram DREO, uranium below 0.04 milligrams per kilogram and thorium at 2.59 milligrams per kilogram; PT-34 from one to two metres, with 578 milligrams per kilogram DREO, uranium below 0.04 milligrams per kilogram and thorium below 0.20 milligrams per kilogram; and PT-42 from zero to one metre, with 383 milligrams per kilogram DREO, uranium below 0.04 milligrams per kilogram and thorium at 2.92 milligrams per kilogram. SGS Geosol used method ICM694: 0.5 molar ammonium sulphate, initial pH 4 and 30 minutes, with ICP-OES and ICP-MS measurement. DREO is oxide-equivalent; uranium and thorium are reported as elemental concentrations. A less-than sign means below the stated laboratory detection limit, not zero. Selected diagnostic solution results, not a resource-average or representative radiological dataset. The concentrations do not characterise uranium or thorium in the feed, residue, water, workplace, potential product or property as a whole and do not establish transfer, recovery, mass balance, total radioactivity, product specification, environmental safety or commercial performance.

Regional execution experience

Prior operating experience. Project-specific evidence still comes first.

Cristiano Veloso previously led a mineral business in Minas Gerais through exploration, permitting, financing, mine and plant construction, commissioning and production.

That historical record includes two mines, three plants—two mineral-fertilizer plants and one bioproduction facility—and infrastructure extending to roads, a new bridge and a high-voltage grid connection.
