Unlike traditional rare earth element (REE) deposits, which often involve complex, high-cost processing and the management of radioactive elements contained in the ore, the Brook Mine deposit is composed of soft, friable, clay and rock associated with coal and negligible radioactive elements. This unique geological profile significantly reduces the cost and requirement for energy-intensive processing typically required in hard rock mining. As a result, the project is expected to benefit from a more efficien ...

NEW YORK, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (“Critical Metals Corp” or the “Company”), 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. Commenting on the assay results, Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of the Company, said: "I am further encouraged by the deep diamond drill hole results at Tanb ...

Core Insights - Critical Metals Corp. has released historical deep diamond drill hole results from the Tanbreez Project in Greenland, indicating significant potential for high-grade rare earth elements (REE) and other critical minerals [1][9][40]. Drill Hole Results - Drill Hole DX-02 intersected high-grade rare earths averaging 4733ppm (0.47% TREO) with 28% heavy rare earth oxides (HREO) over a depth of 328m [6][14]. - Drill Hole D306-13 showed an average of 4211ppm (0.42% TREO) with 24% HREO over a depth of 195m [6][14]. - The average mineralization across the reported drill holes is approximately 0.45% TREO, containing an average of 26% HREO [24][15]. Resource Estimates - The current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Tanbreez Project is approximately 45 million tonnes (MT) at 0.38% TREO, consisting of 19.5MT inferred and 25.4MT indicated resources [12][32]. - The company is planning resource drilling to extend and grow the existing MRE, targeting the Fjord and Hill Zone deposits [29][34]. Economic Potential - The Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Tanbreez Project indicates a Net Present Value (NPV) of approximately $2.8 billion to $3.6 billion and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 180% before tax [9][39]. - The project is gaining significant interest from Western governments due to its strategic importance in the supply of critical minerals [9][40]. Future Plans - The company is preparing for a 2025 resource drilling program, with mobilization of crews to Greenland expected in mid-to-late June [29][36]. - The company is also re-assaying historical samples to confirm and reconcile assay results from previous drilling campaigns [36][37].
