BBX, which has had a swag of board changes in recent months, has prospective ionic rare earth ground in Brazil being probed by a multi-rig auger drilling campaign.

It also says it has a pipeline of prospective REE acquisitions.

Brazil has become a destination country for ASX rare earth explorers of late on the back of the big market success of Meteoric Resources.

BBX has been in-country for years with a focus mainly on an enigmatic PGM and gold project called Tres Estados.

BBX had $1.65 million at the end of the June quarter.

The company's CEO is Andre Douchane, who resigned as a director last month.

Shares in BBX were down 22% to 3.1c in late trade, capitalising the company at $16 million.

Three years ago the stock spiked to levels around 48c.
