Hamelin Gold Limited provide initial results from an evaluation of the REE potential of the West Tanami project, Western Australia. High level review of the Rare Earth Element ("REE") potential of the West Tanami project ("West Tanami") identifies significant REE mineralisation at three separate prospects West Tanami is prospective for unconformity-related Heavy REE ("HREE) deposits evidenced by Northern Minerals' Browns Range deposit located in the Northern Tanami Initial re-sampling of recent drilling produced highly anomalous results with significant HREEs including: Camel prospect - 8 metres at 0.24% TREO from 6 metres in TSR0002 (21% NdPr:TREO and 28% HREE:TREO) including: 2 metres at 0.50% TREO from 10 metres (16% NdPr:TREO and 34% HREE:TREO) Hutch's Find prospect - 6 metres at 0.23% TREO from 30 metres in TLR0007 (18% NdPr:TREO and 26% HREE:TREO). Harkonan prospect - Large-scale radiometric anomaly coincident with interpreted unconformity with REE anomalism in historical drilling and surface sampling Follow up programs planned with drilling of key REE targets to be completed in conjunction with gold programs in the first half of 2023.

Rare Earth Elements ("REEs") have unique magnetic, catalytic and phosphorescent properties and play a critical role in a variety of high-tech applications, including renewable energy, consumer electronics, and advanced manufacturing. REEs are increasingly in demand as the world becomes more dependent on technology and increased demand for renewable energy sources. Unconformity-related heavy REE ("HREE") deposits, such as the Northern Minerals Limited's Browns Range deposit in the Northern Tanami, are becoming increasingly important as sources of HREEs due to the declining availability from traditional sources, such as ion-adsorption clays and bastnasite deposits.

Unconformity-related HREE deposits typically have a small surface footprint but can often be identified in areas of residuum or shallow sand cover via the application of airborne radiometrics and surface geochemical sampling. Early stage exploration results from shallow drilling or rock chip programs that are in excess of 1000ppm TREO are considered significant.
