NEW YORK, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Critical Metals Corp.<\/strong> (Nasdaq: CRML) (\u201cCritical Metals Corp\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading critical minerals mining company, is pleased to publish for the first time the assay results of eleven deep diamond drill holes from the Tanbreez Project in Greenland drilled in 2007 and 2013 at the Fjord Deposit.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the assay results, Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of the Company, said:<\/p>\n

“I am further encouraged by the deep diamond drill hole results at Tanbreez, revealing exceptional assay results over wider and deeper mineralization. Tanbreez continues to yield consistent high-grade drilling results presenting the Company with a compelling opportunity to significantly increase and double our current Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) with an exploration target of 500MT of rare earth material up from our previous target of 225MT.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis key technical work to uncover and update historical information, strategically positions us to advance our plans for the development strategy as we deepen our understanding of the potential of this world-class asset and the material it contains. Our exploration and in-country field crews are currently on the ground at Tanbreez organizing the forthcoming field season preparing for resource and exploration drilling. After recently announcing the MRE of ~45MT 0.38% TREO for the eudialyte component and 180 MT for the industrial mineral by-products of feldspar and arfvedsonite, together with previously announced robust economic results showing the NPV of US$2.4 ~US$3.0 billion on a 10% and 8% discount and an IRR of 180% before tax.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tanbreez Project is operated by Tanbreez Mining Greenland A\/S and is currently under the ownership of Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML) (Critical Metals or CRML), which currently holds a 42% interest with the right to increase that to 92.5% interest, with European Lithium holding a 7.5% interest and Rimbal Pty Ltd a 50.5% interest.<\/p>\n

\n Next Steps<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The Company has applied to the Greenland MSLA for a Program of Works for the 2025 resource drilling programs aimed at upgrading the Inferred Resource to Indicated Resource category and extending the size of the Tanbreez Fjord and Hill Zone Deposits (See figure 7).<\/p>\n

The applications with Greenland authorities are well-advanced and the Company is preparing for the 2025 field season with drilling and exploration executives visiting the deposit from 30 May.<\/p>\n

The Company is currently re-assaying historical pulps stored in Perth and Greenland from some of the existing 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2024 drill, rock chip and bulk sampling for confirmation and check assay reconciliation. The pulp will be analyzed by ALS Metallurgical Laboratory in Perth Western Australia and the results will be published when they become available. Further updated historical assay results are expected soon.<\/p>\n

The first stage of the priority resource drilling program will target the Fjord Deposit containing the 23MT MRE footprint by extending drilling further to the north and east of the 16-diamond hole program from 2024.<\/p>\n

The average target depth will be 60m \u2013 80m drilling through the mineralized kakortokite bearing REE and metal oxides and 5m into the basal unit sanitizing mineralisation from the uneconomic grade \u2018Black Madonna\u2019 unit. Critical Metals Corp will commence its 2025 drilling campaign following satisfactory drill results from the 2024 program with the remaining 15 holes assay. The Company expects to announce the results from the 2024 campaign shortly. .<\/p>\n

The second stage of the priority resource drilling program will target the Hill Zone Deposit containing 22.6MT MRE area by infilling drill lines between D306 -13 and DX-01 and DX-02 and DX-01 on the east to west margins over the current MRE footprint.<\/p>\n

The target depth will be limited to 150m, targeting continuous mineralisation to defined depth establishing a re-categorization of Inferred to Indicated Resource upgrade.<\/p>\n

The Company continues to evaluate all available data from the previous owner\u2019s database and will publish results upon third party and in-house consultation.<\/p>\n

These drill holes drilled through the Fjord deposit and extended below the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Fjord deposit (see Nasdaq Press Release 17 March, 31 March and 19 May 2025). The MRE assessed the eudialyte component of the kakortokite limited to the material above sea level. The deeper drill holes identified rare earth mineralisation at similar grades within the kakortokite unit below the MRE.<\/p>\n

\n Deep Drill Hole Results <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The new deep hole results announced today present a compelling opportunity for the Company to increase the existing MRE over the Tanbreez Fjord Deposit with infill and extension drilling between all historical diamond and RC drill holes (see Nasdaq Press Release 17 March, 31 March and 19 May 2025). The MRE assessed the eudialyte component of the kakortokite limited to the material ).<\/p>\n
