Canadian Critical Minerals Receives Offer to Purchase Interest in Thierry Mine Project

Canadian Critical Minerals Receives Offer to Purchase Interest in Thierry Mine Project

Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") hereby reports that QC Copper and Gold (TSXV: QCCU) (QCCUF) ("QC Copper") has made an offer to purchase all the outstanding shares of Cuprum Corp. ("Cuprum") in an all-share deal (the "Acquisition"). Cuprum is a private company (formerly Pickle Lake Minerals Inc.) which owns 100% of the Thierry Mine project ("Thierry"). CCMI currently owns 29.9% of Cuprum and is the second largest shareholder. QC Copper currently owns 7.7% of Cuprum. Following the proposed transaction, CCMI's ownership of QC Copper would be 10.4%. This Acquisition, if completed, will establish QC Copper as one of the largest resource developers in Canada, with two multi-billion pound copper deposits in Quebec and Ontario.

Terms of the Acquisition

QC Copper will issue all shareholders of Cuprum 1.1538 common shares of QC Copper for every Cuprum common share, based on QC Copper's share price of $0.13 per share. QC Copper will issue an aggregate of 82.76 million QC Copper shares in connection with the Acquisition to secure full ownership of Cuprum's assets at Thierry. CCMI will hold 26.77 million shares in QC Copper with an implied value of $3.48 million.

QC Copper is currently advancing its 100% owned flagship Opemiska copper project in Quebec, a former high-grade past-producing copper project. The most recent resource estimate for Opemiska has outlined 2.1 billion lbs in a copper equivalent Measured and Indicated Resource. Opemiska is one of the largest copper resources in Quebec with access to critical infrastructure such as all-season roads, grid power, rail and nearby mining communities. Historically both the Thierry and Opemiska properties sent copper concentrates to the Horne smelter in Quebec.

The Acquisition, if completed, will allow CCMI to remain focused on its flagship Bull River Mine in British Columbia. CCMI will gain diversification with the addition of Opemiska while retaining a significant interest in Thierry. Given that QC Copper is publicly traded, CCMI will be provided with liquidity for their current investment in Cuprum. Shares will be held in escrow for a period of 18 months with 10% of the shares free trading on closing.

Cuprum's Board of Directors formed a Special Committee to evaluate the transaction, ensuring the transaction serves the best interests of all shareholders, including CCMI. Independent financial advisory firm Working Capital Corporation provided a fairness opinion, confirming the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Cuprum.

The transaction is subject to approval from the TSXV Exchange and QC Copper's disinterested shareholders. Subject to these approvals, closing is expected by the end of December 2024.

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$179,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$179,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") is pleased to report revenues for the Company from the sale of stockpiled copper, gold and silver mineralized material at the Bull River Mine ("BRM") project near Cranbrook, BC. During the month of September 2024, the Company trucked 879 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of sorted mineralized material to New Afton and the Company received a provisional payment of approximately USD$179,000 for the September 2024 shipments. The mineralized material sent to New Afton graded 2.89% Cu, 0.79 gt Au and 23.4 gt Ag.

The Company continued to crush and screen the surface stockpile using a larger crushing and screening plant throughout the month. As of October 5th, 2024, the contractor had completed crushing and screening of the remaining material from the original 180,000 tonne surface stockpile. To-date the Company has shipped approximately 4,000 tonnes of mineralized material to New Afton under the Ore Purchase Agreement ("OPA"). Currently the Company has approximately 80,000 tonnes of coarse material that is available for sorting through the Steinert KSS 100 ore sorter prior to shipping to New Afton. There are approximately 36,000 tonnes of rejects from the ore sorting process that are being stockpiled on surface as an initial feed for the BRM mill. Rejects continue to grade between 0.4% Cu and 1.0% Cu. Hence all rejects can be economically processed in future at the BRM once the Company has received permission to restart the mill. Additionally, the Company has stockpiled approximately 60,000 tonnes of fines material that is too fine to be sent to the sorter. Fine material is expected to grade at 1.39% copper, 0.29 g/t gold and 11 g/t silver representing the average run of mine material in the original surface stockpile. The cut off grade ("COG") for milling copper mineralized material at the BRM that is already on surface is 0.4% Cu. Hence both the rejects and fines have sufficiently high enough grade to provide an economic feed to the BRM mill in future. Should metal prices continue to improve, the Company may send a portion of the fines to New Afton to generate additional revenues in the near term.

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$95,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$95,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") is pleased to report revenues for the Company from the sale of stockpiled copper, gold and silver mineralized material at the Bull River Mine ("BRM") project near Cranbrook, BC. During the month of August 2024, the Company trucked 434 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of sorted mineralized material to New Afton and the Company received a provisional payment of approximately USD$95,000 for the August 2024 shipments. The mineralized material sent to New Afton graded 3.33% Cu, 0.64 gt Au and 26.7 gt Ag.

The Company was unable to use the ore sorter for 10 days in early August 2024 because the stockpile of previously crushed and screened coarse material had been exhausted by the end of July 2024 and the contractor responsible for operating the crushing and screening plant incurred delays in remobilizing equipment and crews back to the mine site. This resulted in less concentrated ore being produced by the ore sorter through the month. A larger crushing and screening plant was recommissioned in mid-August 2024 and the unit is performing extremely well. Based on the current levels of productivity the Company expects that the entire surface stockpile, estimated at approximately 180,000 tonnes, will be crushed and screened by late September 2024 to early October 2024. To-date in September 2024, the Company has already exceeded the amount of material trucked to New Afton in August 2024.

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$143,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Generates USD$143,000 in Revenue from Bull River Mine

Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") is pleased to report revenues for the Company from the sale of stockpiled copper, gold and silver mineralized material at the Bull River Mine ("BRM") project near Cranbrook, BC. During the month of July 2024, the Company trucked 550 wet metric tonnes ("wmt") of sorted mineralized material to New Afton and the Company received a provisional payment of approximately USD$143,000 for the July 2024 shipments. The mineralized material sent to New Afton graded 3.73% Cu, 0.69 gt Au and 31.0 gt Ag.

During the month, the Company encountered lower grade material from the surface stockpile. Although more mineralized material was processed through the ore sorter compared to all previous months of operation, less high-grade material was concentrated for shipment to New Afton. The stockpile is not totally homogeneous in terms of grade, so the Company expects to see some fluctuation in results on a month-to-month basis.
