Unveiling High-Grade Mineral Discoveries at Tanbreez
Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML), a prominent name in the mining of critical minerals, is excited to share significant assay results from historic deep diamond drilling at the Tanbreez Project. The recent assessment sheds light on drill holes DDH 009-13, DDH 001-13, DDH 012-13, DDH 003-13, DDH 015B-13, and DDH 015-13, all conducted back in 2013.
Exceptional Assay Outcomes
The impressive results have been noted by Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp, who stated, “The outcomes from our deep diamond drilling are remarkable, highlighting the high-grade TREOs and HREOs available at Tanbreez, which is set to become a significant rare earth deposit in the global market.”
These high-grade drilling discoveries provide a promising avenue for the Company to enhance the current maiden resource of 45 million tonnes (MT) with future drilling programs. The recently released Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) estimated ~45MT of Rare Earth Elements (REE) at 0.38%, along with robust financial projections from the scoping study indicating an NPV range of USD 2.4 billion to USD 3.0 billion — presenting a compelling economic narrative.
Advance Plans for Growth
Critical Metals Corp is actively gearing up for upcoming drilling projects in 2025, applying for a Program of Works through Greenland’s Mineral License and Safety Authority (MSLA). The focus is to upgrade the Inferred Resource to the Indicated Resource category, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing resources tied to the Tanbreez Project.
Drilling operations are slated to commence in the second quarter of 2025, focusing first on the Fjord Deposit, which contains a 23MT MRE footprint. This will involve extending drilling further north from the previous program conducted in 2024.
With the ambition to thoroughly explore the mineral-rich Kakortokite rock and its valuable constituents, the drilling program will target depths ranging from 40m to 150m, aiming for a stable mineralisation transition to upgrade resources.
Deep Drilling Results Showcase
The data from drill holes DDH-009-13 and others demonstrated significant mineralisation values, confirming the project's vast potential. For instance:
- DDH-009-13: Averaged a robust 4786 ppm (0.48% TREO), including 26% HREO along with various valuable elements such as ZrO2 and Nb2O5.
- DDH-001-13: Showed 4308 ppm (0.43% TREO), affirming the continuous mineralisation in the area.
- DDH-012-13: Recorded 3903 ppm (0.39% TREO), paving the way for future resource evaluations.
Strategic Assets and Future Developments
As the operator behind the Tanbreez Project, Critical Metals Corp currently owns a 42% stake, with aspirations to increase this to 92.5% by late 2025, thereby escalating its control and capabilities over this promising project.
Furthermore, the Company’s portfolio extends to the Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria, securely positioned to cater to the burgeoning European lithium market. This strategic ensemble marks Critical Metals Corp as a dynamic player in the field of critical mineral resources.
Gallium Assessments and Future Insights
The exploration does not stop at rare earth elements; the potential of gallium oxide also holds great significance. Recent testing indicates gallium levels around 98 to 102 ppm for several drill holes, adding further value to the mineralogical spectrum associated with the Tanbreez Project.
