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].
