NEW YORK, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (\u201cCritical Metals Corp\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading critical minerals mining company, today announced that it has received the final assay results from the 2025 drilling program at Area B and the Fjord Deposit at the Tanbreez Rare Earths Project in Greenland.<\/p>\n

\n Key Highlights<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Area B \u2013 Extent of mineralization: <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Broad-spaced drilling results successfully demonstrate significant and extensive mineralisation potential across Area B, located immediately adjacent to the eastern margin of the Hill Zone Deposit (refer to ASX announcements dated 16 December 2025 and 15 January 2026, Figure 2).<\/p>\n

\n Fjord Deposit \u2013 Extent of mineralization:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The Fjord area remains open along strike, with mineralization consistently confirmed near surface and demonstrating strong lateral and vertical continuity (refer to ASX announcements dated 16 December 2025 and 15 January 2026, Figure 2).<\/p>\n

\n Resource growth potential: <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The 2025 Fjord and Upper Fjord drilling results provide a strong indication of potential for resource growth and extension drilling for 2026 currently being planned.<\/p>\n

\n Grade profile:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO+Y) grades from the 2025 diamond drilling range from 0.40% to 0.47%, with heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) comprising approximately 26\u201327% of TREO+Y<\/p>\n

\n Tony Sage, Chief Executive Officer of Critical Metals Corp., commented:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI am very encouraged by the 2025 deep diamond drilling results, which continue to demonstrate meaningful extensions to our known Mineral Resource and confirm consistent rare earth mineralisation across the Fjord, Upper Fjord, Hill and now, Area B zone. These results enhance our confidence in the broader REE potential of the Tanbreez Deposit.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n Importantly, the new assay data is expected to add further mineralised tonnage to the existing Hill and Fjord Deposits, supporting a potential uplift in scale and continuity across a significantly larger project footprint. This reinforces Tanbreez as a strategic, long<\/em>
\n \u2011<\/em>
\n life rare earth asset.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n Our team is now progressing extension and infill drilling programs for the 2026 field season, focused on optimising future pit designs and advancing Mineral Resource studies. These next steps are aimed at de<\/em>
\n \u2011<\/em>
\n risking the project and positioning Tanbreez for future development milestones.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n New results are as follows.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Area B \u2013 Geological context and exploration results<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Area B is located to the east-northeast of the Hill Deposit and spans an approximately 1,750\u202fmetre corridor of highly prospective geology. All drilling completed in 2025 within this area has returned broad intervals of rare earth mineralization, with TREO+Y grades typically ranging from ~0.35% to ~0.77%.<\/p>\n

Drill holes 25-D17, 25-D13, 25-D10 and 25-D09 formed part of a reconnaissance drilling program designed to assess the prospectivity within this eastern extension of the Hill Deposit.<\/p>\n

While the current drilling pattern remains widely spaced, results to date indicate strong geological and grade continuity across the corridor. This continuity highlights significant laterally extensive mineralization potential within Area B, which is positioned immediately adjacent to the eastern margin of the Hill Zone Deposit.<\/p>\n

In addition, results have now been returned for the final 2025 drillhole at the Fjord deposit.<\/p>\n

\n Hole 25-D14<\/strong>
\n
\n 16.5m @ 0.4003 TREOY (25.02% HREO), 96 ppm Ga2O5, 274ppm HfO2, 1485ppm CeO2, 1125ppm Nb2O5 from 0.5m<\/strong>
\n
\n 38.0m @ 0.3801 TREOY (26.59% HREO), 84 ppm Ga2O5, 311ppm HfO2, 1381ppm CeO2, 1259ppm Nb2O5 from 21.0m<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Hole 25-D15<\/strong>
\n
\n 55.5m @ 0.406 TREOY (26.02% HREO), 95 ppm Ga2O5, 325ppm HfO2, 1491ppm CeO2, 1307ppm Nb2O5 from 2.0m<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Holes 25\u2011D14 and 25\u2011D15 are located at the northeastern end of the Fjord Deposit and confirm that mineralization remains open along strike. The assay results are consistent with previously reported drilling in this area and are expected to support preparation of a revised Mineral Resource Estimate, as well as the advancement of subsequent mine planning studies (refer to Table 1).<\/p>\n

The assay results continue to demonstrate consistent rare earth grades and highlight the presence of strategic metals, including gallium, hafnium, cerium, and yttrium. These outcomes further reinforce Tanbreez\u2019s status as a globally significant peralkaline-hosted rare earth system with scale potential and exposure to multiple strategic metals exposure.<\/p>\n

Details of the 2025 drilling program are provided in Table 1 (collar information), with mineralized greater than >0.3% TREO+Y listed in Appendix 2, individual assay results provided in Appendix 3, and supporting geological interpretations presented in Figures 3, 4, and 5.<\/p>\n

Drill holes 25\u2011D17, 25\u2011D13, 25\u2011D10 and 25\u2011D09 formed part of a reconnaissance program designed to assess the prospectivity east\u2011northeast of the Hill Deposit. Although the drill spacing remains broad, results clearly indicate significant laterally extensive mineralization potential across Area B, whis is located immediately adjacent to the eastern margin of the Hill Zone Deposit.<\/p>\n

Based on the results reported in this announcement, additional drilling across Area B and the Upper Fjord area is considered warranted to further define mineralized scale, continuity and potential resource growth.<\/p>\n

Results from Area B, together with the broader 2024 and 2025 drilling programs, demonstrate TREO+Y grades ranging from approximately 0.35% to 0.77%, with an average heavy rare earth oxide (HREO) content of approximately 25.7%.<\/p>\n
