Critical Elements' 10,000-Meter Summer Drill Program at Rose West Continues to Deliver Positive Results

CRECF
  • Critical Elements Lithium Corporation announced positive results from its Summer 2026 drilling program at the 100% owned Rose West Discovery in Eeyou Istchee, Québec.
  • The mineralized footprint has expanded over ten-fold since the winter 2024 discovery, now covering an area of approximately 1,250 x 1,500 meters.
  • New drilling added a 350 x 300 m block to the North Extension Area & a 200 x 300 m block to the West Target Zone.
  • Drilling along Lines C & D confirmed the continuity of Pegmatite 6 below the Main Target Area with thicknesses ranging from 15 to 37.9 meters.
  • A new offset zone, Pegmatite 3B, was identified covering a 300 x 300 m area & sits approximately 75 meters above the main Pegmatite 3.
  • Significant assay results received for holes RW-26-59 to RW-26-68 include lithium oxide (Li2O) grades up to 3.39% & tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) grades up to 280 ppm.
  • An additional 26 holes have been drilled since RW-26-68 & are currently awaiting assay results.
  • The program aims to define a potential mineralized footprint of 1,250 x 2,000 meters & support a future Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
  • The drilling program is scheduled to terminate at the end of November 2026 using a systematic 100 m grid approach.
  • The East Target Zone & South Area remain open for exploration with Pegmatite 7 intersected at 330 meters depth in the East.
  • Recent 3D modeling revisions reflect new structural interpretations showing branching zones & conjugated fracture sets.
  • Drilling results indicate exceptional thicknesses in holes RW-26-89 & RW-26-90, reaching 28.10 meters & 33.30 meters respectively.
  • Sample analysis was conducted at the ALS Minerals laboratory in Val-d'Or, Québec, with quality assurance procedures including standards, duplicates, & blanks.
  • Kenneth Williamson, Director of Exploration, confirmed the results are encouraging & aligned with expectations for the project.
