Insights

Mining Geologist & Resource Analyst

Deeper than expected rare earth mineralization discovered at Tanbreez suggests significant resource expansion potential beyond current 45MT estimate.

The newly released historical drill results from Tanbreez reveal substantial deep mineralization extending to 328m depth with consistent high-grade rare earth oxide (REO) concentrations. The key finding is that mineralization continues far deeper than previously established in the current 45MT resource estimate.

Analyzing the data technically, both historical holes (DX-02 and D306-13) show remarkably consistent grade profiles averaging 0.42-0.47% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) with exceptionally high proportions of heavy rare earth elements (24-28% HREO) - the most commercially valuable REE subset. The stratigraphic consistency across 2.3km strike length and 372m width to depths of 195-338m demonstrates exceptional continuity within the Kakortokite host rock.

What's particularly significant is the correlation between historical and recent drill results showing nearly identical mineralization patterns, confirming the homogeneous nature of the deposit. The resource implications are substantial - with mineralization now proven across dimensions of approximately 2300m x 370m x 338m within the vast 4.7BT Kakortokite host rock.

The reported low uranium and thorium values (<80ppm combined) are notably advantageous, as these elements typically create processing challenges and environmental concerns in rare earth projects. This clean profile significantly enhances potential processing economics.

The confirmation of gallium oxide (98-102ppm) throughout the deposit adds another critical mineral credit beyond the REEs. Gallium, essential for semiconductors and emerging technologies, provides potential additional revenue streams beyond the primary rare earth products.

While the total resource potential requires further definition, these deep drill results strongly support the company's plans to significantly expand the current 45MT resource estimate through targeted infill drilling. The economic implications are substantial given the recently announced PEA figures showing an NPV of $2.8-3.6B and 180% IRR.

Strategic Metals Investment Analyst

Tanbreez drill results show extensive high-grade rare earth mineralization with excellent HREE content and low radioactivity—critical factors for economic viability.

The new Tanbreez drill results represent a potential step-change in this project's economics by demonstrating consistent high-grade rare earth mineralization extending to depths of 328m, substantially beyond the parameters used in the current resource estimate. The average grades of 0.42-0.47% TREO might appear modest compared to some global deposits, but two critical factors dramatically enhance the economic potential:

First, the exceptionally high heavy rare earth oxide (HREO) content of 24-28% is a game-changer. Heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium command prices 5-15x higher than light rare earths and face more severe supply constraints. For context, most western rare earth deposits contain only 1-3% HREOs, making Tanbreez's 24-28% HREO content extraordinarily valuable.

Second, the consistently low uranium and thorium levels (<80ppm combined) address one of the most significant economic hurdles facing rare earth projects - radioactive waste management. Many rare earth projects become economically unviable due to the high costs of handling radioactive materials during processing. Tanbreez's low radioactivity profile should translate to substantially lower processing costs.

The consistent mineralization shown across extensive dimensions (2300m x 370m x up to 338m depth) strongly suggests the current 45MT resource estimate significantly understates the deposit's true potential. The correlation of grades and mineralization styles between holes spaced 1300m apart indicates excellent geological continuity.

The additional gallium oxide credits (98-102ppm) further enhance the economics. Gallium, trading at ~$400/kg, is critical for semiconductor applications with constrained global supply chains.

The recently announced PEA metrics (NPV $2.8-3.6B and IRR of 180%) were calculated on the current 45MT resource. These deep drill results suggest potential for a substantially larger resource base that could significantly extend mine life beyond the parameters used in that economic assessment.

Commenting on the assay results, Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of the Company, said:

“It’s exciting to report more deep diamond drill hole results and outstanding assay results from historical deep drilling that may confirm higher tonnage potential that extends a lot deeper and wider than was originally expected for the Tanbreez Project.

“After recently announcing the MRE of ~45MT of REE’S @ 0.38% and the robust economic results from the Preliminary Economic Assessment for Tanbreez declaring the NPV of $US2.8 to US$3.6 billion on a 15% and 12.5% discount and an IRR of 180% before tax we are assembling a highly experienced team and moving quickly to the next major milestone measuring the true potential of the Tanbreez Project that is gaining significant interest from Western Governments.

“The team is now planning resource drilling to extend and grow the vast Tanbreez resource and mobilizing crew to Greenland in preparation for a series of exploration, mining and engineering surveys working closely with the Greenland Government and stakeholders in country which is now underway.”

Deep Drill Hole Results

The Company believes that the new deep hole results presents a compelling opportunity for the Company to increase the existing S-K 1300 report for the Tanbreez Project of 45MT (consisting of 19.5 million metric tonnes of inferred resource and 25.4 million metric tonnes of indicated resource) containing 0.38% REE over the Tanbreez Hill Zone and Fjord Deposit with infill and extension drilling between all historical diamond and RC drill holes (News Release reported on 17 March 2025, see Figure 2 and 3 and Table2).

Diamond drill holes DX-02 and D306-13 were drilled at significant depth for stratigraphic and mineralogical studies.

Today’s announcement reports assay results confirming deep highly mineralised TREO for each drill hole averaging 0.42% containing 24% HREE and 0.47% containing 28% HREE to depths of 195m and 328m for each drill hole contained within the vast Kakortokite 4.7 BT host rock, (See Table 1). The Company states that there is no guarantee the entire 4.7billion tonne host contains economic mineralization.

Both drill holes DX-02 and D306-13 results of contained average TREO of 0.45% including 26% HREE are almost identical for TREO, HREE and metal oxides including tantalum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium and gallium to the drilling results reported in drill holes A1-24, D7-14 and DX-01 with average TREO 0.43% with 26.9% HREE.

Drill holes A1-24, DX-01 and DX-02 were terminated into the basal rock unit in a Tephri -Phonolite named Black Madona that contained only background mineralisation.

Drillholes D7-14 and D-306-13 was terminated within mineralisation and further drilling will be required to confirm the true thickness beyond the 243m and 328m respectively.

Drill hole K-24 was drilled in December 2024 for confirmation deep drilling to 247m depth with assay results expected in late May 2025.

Gallium Results

Drillhole DX-02 contained 98ppm average gallium oxide, Ga₂O₃ mineralization from surface to 195m.

Drill hole D306-13 was not assayed for gallium, tantalum and niobium in 2013 and a new sample from existing pulp will be submitted to ALS Metallurgical in Perth in the coming month.

ALS Metallurgical will also assay existing sample pulp for gallium for the 2024 drill hole K-24, D306-14 and D7-014 with results that will be published in the coming months.

A direct correlation of average grades and consistency exists over considerable strike of approximately 2300m, at and at depth for bottom of hole DX-01 with an approximate width of 370m, (see figure 1 and 2).

Hence the correlation for the or gallium oxide mineralization results from DX-02 at 98ppm Ga₂O₃ to the diamond holes results for A1-24 and DX-01 reported 28 March 2025 were 101.7ppm and 102.2ppm respectively, may add a vital oxide credit to the TREO-HREO mixed concentrate adding to the project’s economic status.

Low Uranium Thorium Results

The uranium and thorium assays average for drill hole DX-02 is 18.67ppm and 55.3ppm respectively from surface to 195m. In drill hole D306-13 the Company has submitted pulp sample for assaying uranium and thorium for the first time and will publish results when they become available.

The uranium and thorium results for DX-02 correlate directly with drill hole results DX-01, A1-24 and D7-14 showing levels for combined uranium and thorium well below 80ppm indicating the homogenic nature for the Tanbreez Deposit (News Release 17 March 2025).

Figure 1: Drillhole collar positions for the new deep diamond holes DX-O2 to 195m, D306-13 to 328m with the average assay results from surface. The lengths between drill holes is approximately 1300 metres with a total distance from A1-24 to DX-02 of approximately 2320m in a straight line 1037m with a width of 372m width between DX-02 and D306-13.

Stratigraphic Column
The Company recently published stratigraphic cross section was originally drafted in 2014 (by the previous owner Rimbal P/L) to log the stratigraphy and to estimate the potential resource at depth by outlining the thickness into the mineralised Kakortokite host rock (see Figure 2).

The Company has now published a further stratigraphic cross section showing deep mineralization existing over 2.3km section from drill hole A1-24 to DX-02.

The cross section and drill hole assay results for the new drill hole data from DX-02 and D306-13 in conjunction with drill hole results from A1-24, D7-14 and DX-01, clearly indicates the distribution of continuous TREO, HREO and metal oxide mineralization and the potential for the Company to increasing the existing MRE for the Tanbreez Project.

The drill hole results for the reported drill holes to date have a consistent average grade of mineralisation for TREO of approximately 0.45% and containing an average 26% HREO for the 4 deep holes and shallower hole A1-24 spanning approximately 2300m length and 372m width with and significant depth of 338m.

Figure 2: Deep Diamond Hole intersections containing high grade TREO average mineralisation from surface to 195m vertical depth in hole DX-01, and to 338m vertical depth in D306-013.

The approximate dimensions between reference points from B-D between drillholes DX-01 and D306-13 is 1300m in length and 372m width.

The approximate dimensions between reference points A-D between drillholes DX-01 and A1-24 is 2076m in length and 372m width.

The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Fjord and Hill Zone Deposits and drillhole intersections projects the current and potential mineralization through the kakortokite host rock.

Resource Extension - Infill Drilling

The Company has applied to the Greenland MSLA for a Program of Works for the 2025 resource drilling programs targeting the increase to the current inferred and indicated 45MT MRE and extending the size of the Tanbreez Fjord and Hill Zone Deposits.

The applications with Greenland authorities are well advanced and the Company is preparing the 2025 field season with drilling and exploration teams preparing for mobilization in mid-to late June.

S-K 1300 Estimate Summary

TANBREEZ PROJECT	Mtonnes	TREO	ZrO2	Nb2O5
Tanbreez Hill and Fjord
Indicated Resource	25.4	0.37%	1.37%	0.13%
Inferred Resource	19.5	0.39%	1.42%	0.15%
Total	44.9	0.38%	1.39%	0.14%

Table 2: 2016 MRE for Inferred and Indicated Resource Estimate

The Company recently announced its S-K 1300 for the Tanbreez Project of 45MT containing 0.38% TREO including 27% contained HREO plus rare metal oxides (see News Release 17 March 2025 and Table 2 and Figure 4).

The first stage of the priority resource drilling program will target the Fjord Deposit containing the 23 MT MRE footprint by extending drilling further to the north of the 16-diamond hole program from 2024.

The average target depth will be 40-50m drilling through the mineralized kakortokite bearing REE and metal oxides and 5m into the basal unit sanitizing mineralization from the uneconomic grade phonolite tephry phonolite unit.

Confirmation 2025 drilling will commence depending on satisfactory drill results from the 2024 program with the remaining 15 holes reporting due shortly.

The second stage of the priority resource drilling program will target the Hill Zone Deposit containing 22MT MRE area by infilling drill lines between D306 -13 and DX-01 and DX-02 and DX-01 on the east to west margins over the current MRE footprint.

The target depth will be limited to 150m targeting continuous mineralization to defined depth establishing a re-categorisation of inferred to indicated resource upgrade.

 

Figure 4 The Tanbreez Fjord and the Tanbreez Hill rare-earth mineral sites are hosted within a Kakortokite unit covering an area of approximately 5km x 2.5km, estimated at 4.7 billion tonnes of Kakortokite this does not indicate any certainty of hosting mineralisation

Next Steps

The Company is currently re-assaying historical pulps stored in Perth and Greenland from some of the existing 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2024 drill, rock chip and bulk sampling for confirmation and check assay reconciliation. The pulp will be analysed by ALS Metallurgical Laboratory in Perth Western Australia and the results will be published when they become available.

The Company continues evaluating all available data from the previous owner’s data base and will publish results upon third party and in-house consultation.

The Company has engaged an Independent Resource Consultant who will report on the 2025 Resource Drilling and Resource Upgrade with the potential of increasing the current 45MT MRE if economic mineralization is discovered on the extension resource drill program.

The Company is currently negotiating the engagement for suitable Feasibility Study Partners as a result publishing the Tanbreez Preliminary Economic Assessment with a robust financial outcome declaring a Net Present Value (NPV) of U$2.8 ~ U$3.6 billion at discount rate of 15% and 12.5% and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 180% before Tax.

About Tanbreez

The Tanbreez Rare Earth Project is one of the world’s largest hard rock rare earth elements (REE) deposits, located in southern Greenland near the town of Quaqortoq. The project is notable for its high concentration of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), which are critical for high-tech applications, clean energy, and defence industries. Unlike other major REE deposits, Tanbreez contains very low levels of uranium and thorium, making it more environmentally and politically viable.

• Deposit Type: Kakortokite (a layered igneous rock rich in REEs)
• Kakortokite Estimate: ~4.7 billion tonnes of REE-bearing mineralisation
• Heavy REE Content: ~27% of Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO)
• Ownership: Acquired by Critical Metals Corp. and EUR 7.5% (2024)
• Uranium & Thorium: Extremely low (avoiding nuclear regulatory issues)
• Location: Near Quaqortoq, southern Greenland
• Target drilling ongoing to achieve proven and probable ore reserves
• Project Stage: is evolving from exploration to feasibility and predevelopment phases
• Kakortokite host may not always contain any economic mineralisation of REE

Kakortokite

Kakortokite is a rare, layered igneous rock composed primarily of feldspar, eudialyte (a zirconium-rich silicate), and arfvedsonite (an iron-rich amphibole). It is notable for being a major host rock for rare earth elements (REEs), zirconium, and other critical minerals.

Major Occurrences: Ilímaussaq Complex, Greenland (including the Tanbreez and Kvanefjeld deposits), Lovozero Massif, Russia, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Canada.

Economic Importance: Rare Earth Elements (REEs): High concentrations of heavy REEs (HREEs), crucial for advanced technology, Zirconium & Hafnium: Used in nuclear reactors and aerospace, Low Uranium & Thorium: Unlike carbonatite-hosted deposits, Kakortokite has minimal radioactive elements, making extraction easier and more environmentally friendly.
