$1.2 Million Raised to Drill for Maiden Resource at High-Grade Garies
Rare Earth Project
MRG Metals Limited announced on 18 August 2026 that it was launching a Share Purchase
Plan to raise up to $750,000.
It is advised that $476,000 was raised from the Share Purchase Plan and the Company will
shortly issue 238,000,000 New MRQ Shares.
Together with the Placement for $725,500 completed on 18 August 2026, a total of $1,201,500
has been raised.
Garies: Diamond Drilling at DrillTarg to Deliver a Maiden JORC Resource in TREO
The funds will be used to advance the Garies Rare Earth Project, which has the potential to
rank among the world's highest-grade rare earth projects. Work will focus on two main
programs, firstly diamond drilling to establish a maiden JORC Mineral Resource at DrillTarg;
and secondly to undertake an airborne radiometric/magnetic survey aimed to identify further
targets for follow-up drilling to expand the resource base
A representative bulk sample derived from drillchips of 2025 RC drillholes at DrillTarg
delivered an assay of 4.85% TREO. Initial metallurgical testwork from the same bulk sample
demonstrated that magnet rare earths make up approximately 26% of the TREO with 72%
monazite recovery achieved using a standard physical process for monazite.
The funds will take Garies from these results to a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate,
which is the key step for strategic partners and a pilot plant.
The Garies programme comprises:
• Helicopter and ground geophysics (radiometric/magnetic) over DrillTarg to optimise
drill hole locations.
• 380 metres of diamond drilling at DrillTarg, the first diamond core at Garies.
• A Maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) at DrillTarg
• Expansion of the helicopter airborne radiometric/magnetic survey to cover a 110 sq
km area around DrillTarg, aimed to identify new drill targets .
• Airborne geophysics and stream sediment sampling to rank new targets for resource
expansion.to expand the monazite resource inventory at Garies.
• Progressing the Garies Mining Right application through to grant.

Adriano-Fotinho: Potential District-Scale Rare Earth Discovery from Surface
Adriano-Fotinho has the potential to be a district-scale rare earth discovery, with mineralisation
close to surface.
• Work has continued since the capital raise.
• Step-out auger drilling is underway to test the 13 km strike target.
MRG's Chairman, Andrew Van Der Zwan said:
"I would like to thank MRG Shareholders who have supported the Company and enabled us
to fund the next stage of exploration at Garies. Diamond drilling at DrillTarg will support a
maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate, while airborne geophysics and stream sediment
sampling will identify and rank new targets in our effort to grow the resource inventory. We
continue to progress the Garies Mining Right application and since the capital raise we have
continued exploration at Adriano-Fotinho, where step-out auger drilling is underway."
This announcement has been authorised by MRG’s Board of Directors.
