Positioned to deliver some of the lowest costs for the recovery of heavy rare earths globally
Cobra (LSE: COBR), a South Australian mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that field trials at the Company's Boland Ionic Heavy Rare Earth Project in South Australia have delivered exceptional hydrological properties that support the cost-efficient and low impact recovery of heavy rare earth elements ("REEs") through In Situ recovery ("ISR").
Field trials have confirmed the hydrological properties of the Boland aquifer and that geological conditions are conducive to ISR and support commerciality of future mining operations.
Highlights
- In-field Pump tests have proven that the ionic heavy rare earth mineralisation at Boland is contained in a laterally uniform permeable sand aquifer that is bounded above and below by impermeable aquicludes. This circumstance is not known to occur elsewhere in the world and it makes certain that the Boland mineralisation is amenable to recovery in solution form by ISR techniques
- This testwork has shown that ISR lixiviants are efficiently contained within the mineralised aquifer and that the lixiviant will not move vertically into the overlying and underlying formations
- Pump testing yielded a sustainable discharge rate of 0.21 litres per second (approximately 18,000 litres per day) which is consistent with expectations raised by the results of recent bench scale recoveries of 66% Heavy Rare Earths ("HREO")
- Uniform borehole drawdown during pump testing established that the there is good lateral connectivity within the Boland mineralised horizon. These circumstances are expected to result in efficient wellfield design and good mineralisation recovery characteristics
- A connectivity tracer test that involved the injection of water treated with a bromide dye showed excellent connectivity. At a 7 m inter-well spacing, bromide was observed in the extraction well after under 24 hours
- 60% of the bromide dye was recovered after four days. These results are consistent with Cobra's expectation that injected lixiviants will be efficiently circulated through the mineralised horizon to recover rare earth metals
- All the in-field test results are consistent with Cobra's expectation that the Boland rare earth mineralisation is amenable to recovery by ISR techniques

Rupert Verco, Managing Director of Cobra, commented:
"These field results have provided us the trifecta of technical requirements to enable sustainable and productive ISR: permeability, productive flow rates, and uniform connectivity. This, when coupled with our highly desirable metallurgy, sets the Boland Project apart from all other known ionic rare earth projects.
Results of this field study provide robust metrics to support the case for commercial development. Alongside our current flow sheet optimisation programme, we are well positioned to deliver some of the lowest costs for the recovery of heavy rare earths globally.
The test work just completed has significantly derisked the Boland Project's REE extraction parameters. The Company will now continue resource definition drilling, targeting a significant maiden resource estimate to support a scoping study by mid next year."
Context - Why is this so important?
Ionic Rare Earth deposits in Southern China are recovered by a form of ISR that relies on gravity to permeate the mineralised horizon. Acid injection is unconstrained, limiting mining control and introducing environmental risk through acid mine drainage.
Ionic clay projects outside of China are challenged by managing a trade-off between the cost-efficient treatment of clay mineralisation with environmental risk and operating efficiency.
The Boland Project has now been shown to face neither of the above challenges.
The Boland Project's geology is (thus far) unique in the world insofar as its mineralisation has now been shown to be amenable to ISR, the lowest cost and most sustainable form of mining.
The results from this study highlight the ability for Boland to deliver a risk-resilient source of dysprosium and terbium from a project that requires less capital and can be self-supporting by producing the materials required for operation.

Appendix 2: Results of field hydrology study
Rendement Principal Hydrogeologist, Ben Jeuken was engaged to perform hydrogeological tests at Boland that included an aquifer pumping test and a connectivity tracer test. The study has generated key hydrogeological characteristics of the deposit, such as hydraulic conductivity (permeability), storage coefficient, and the degree of confinement provided by the surrounding geological units above and below the mineralised zone. Methodology and testing results are presented below:
Pumping Test
Methodology
- A downhole pump was set in well CBSC0010. The pump was positioned at a depth of 25m. The static water level was at 4.5 m, giving available water level drawdown of approximately 20.5 m
- A pumping test was conducted comprising a constant rate step pumping at 13 m3/day for 0.33 days (8 hours) to determine aquifer properties.
- The pumping rate was incrementally increased up to 18 m3/day to determine the maximum capacity of the well. Water level drawdown was measured in five observation wells screened within the mineralised body, one well screened within each of the overlying confining bed, and the underlying saprolite
Results
- The pumping test demonstrated that the extraction well had the capacity to yield at a rate of up to 18 m3/day
- During the constant rate test, consistent drawdown was observed in all observation wells within mineralisation demonstrating relatively homogeneous aquifer properties
- Aquifer properties derived from analysis of the drawdown data are summarised in Table 1. The hydraulic conductivity of the mineralisation is 0.1 m/day, consistent with a fine sand.
- The drawdown response in the mineralized zone indicated a confined aquifer with very low leakage from the confining layers. The vertical conductivity of the overlying confining layer is estimated at 0.001 m/day. The monitoring well completed in the overlying Garford confining layer exhibited no drawdown at all, further demonstrating that the Garford formation is an effective confining layer
- The well completed in the underlying saprolite exhibited a very muted drawdown response. The hydraulic conductivity estimated from the drawdown data is approximately 0.002 m/day. This is some two orders of magnitude less than the hydraulic conductivity of the mineralisation. This indicates that the saprolite will be an effective confining layer beneath the ore

Connectivity Tracer Test
Methodology
- The connectivity tracer test comprised the extraction of water from well CBSC0005. The water was dosed with the tracer and then re-injected into CBSC0010 located 7 m from the extraction well. The test was undertaken over four days from 31/10/2025 to 4/11/2025
Results
- The total volume circulated during the trial was 32 m3
- The tracer was injected with an average bromide concentration of 280 mg/L against a natural background bromide concentration of 15 mg/L
- The recovery of the injected water was calculated from the concentration of bromide analysed in samples taken from the extraction well
- The data is shown in Figure 3 where data indicates good connection between the two wells completed in the mineralised horizon. Tracer arrival occurred after circulation of approximately 10 m3, within 24 hours, and the concentration of tracer at the extraction well continued to rise as the test progressed reaching a maximum concentration of 60% at the end of the test
Figure A5: Connectivity trial - tracer recovery
Conclusions
The results are extremely encouraging for ISR recovery of REE mineralisation at the Boland Prospect:
.
- Well yields of up to 18 m3/day and hydraulic properties give confidence that satisfactory leaching flow rates can be achieved, and this data will be used to design a field recovery trial
- The formations above and below the mineralised body provide effective confining seals. This is an optimal condition and gives confidence that the lixiviant can be efficiently contained within the mineralised horizon host aquifer and will not move vertically into overlying and underlying formations
- The efficient recovery of the tracer during the circulation trial gives confidence that injected lixiviant can be efficiently circulated through the mineralised Pidinga formation to leach the rare earths mineralisation and be recovered at the extraction well
