NEW YORK, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) ("Critical Metals Corp" or the "Company"), a leading mining development company focused on critical metals and minerals and producing strategic products essential to electrification and next generation technologies for Europe and its western world partners, today announced that the Company has released its first S-K 1300 technical report summary (the "S-K 1300 Report") on the Tanbreez Project, one of the largest rare earth deposits in the world hosted within - 4.7 billion metric tons of a kakortokite hard rock unit. The full S-K 1300 report can be viewed by visiting: https://www.criticalmetalscorp.com/projects/project-tanbreez. Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd compiled the S-K 1300 Report.
"The release of our first S-K 1300 report for Tanbreez is a significant milestone for Critical Metals Corp as we are quickly advancing the development strategy for this game-changing rare earth deposit," said Tony Sage, CEO and Chairman of Critical Metals Corp. "The initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) shows Tanbreez containing more than 45 million metric tons of resource of total rare earth and rare metal material, We now have independent verification of what makes this asset truly exceptional, and we believe that the S-K 1300 Report's findings will help accelerate our discussions with strategic partners and government agencies focused on establishing secure, western supply chains for these critical materials. We expect to begin our next phase of verification work in Q2 2025, with further resource drilling, an Independent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and end goal of completing our definitive feasibility study by year-end 2025."
Mr Sage also added:
"Due to the Company's unique ownership structure, Critical Metals Corp must report all technical reports under the requirements set forth in Regulation S-K 1300 and the JORC Code as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and ASX simultaneously. In the coming weeks this initial MRE is expected to be expanded upon by further analysis and announcements of the over 400 drill holes and 350,000 samples undertaken by Tanbreez Mining Greenland.
Due to the huge volumes of data already available, Critical Metals Corp has commissioned a PEA which is expected to be finalised and published in the next quarter.
The Company also intends to finalise the drilling results from the campaign that was completed late in 2024 and finalizing the 2025 exploration program."
