Mavis Lake High-Grade Lithium Mineralisation Strike Length Extended To 1,300m

Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR) (“Critical Resources” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise of assay results from the Company’s 100% owned Mavis Lake Lithium Project. All assay data will be provided to the independent resource geologist currently preparing the Company’s Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

Highlights

  • Assay results from 30 drill holes confirm significant lithium mineralisation, extending the known lithium mineralised strike length by 550 meters (total length confirmed at 1,300m)
  • Latest assays continue to demonstrate consistently high lithium grades at Mavis Lake, with multiple intercepts grading over 1.2% Li20 and sections of extremely high-grade up to 4.2% Li2O
  • Standout assays include:
    • MF22-129 with 7.1m @ 1.23% Li2O from 13.35m downhole
    • MF22-149 with 7.6m @ 1.30% Li2O from 135m downhole
    • MF22-150 with 7.7m @ 1.23% Li2O from 183.82m downhole
  • Results to be included in the JORC 2012 compliant Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate
  • 18,500m of drilling completed so far in 2022, with assays pending from 26 drill holes
  • Fully funded drilling program to continue throughout the Canadian winter
The assay results significantly extend the current strike length of known lithium mineralisation at Mavis Lake by 550 meters. The total strike length now sits at 1,300 meters. Full details can be found in Appendix 1. The MRE is being prepared on an open pit basis, the strike length at Mavis Lake and shallow pegmatites provide outstanding potential economic upside for the project.

Critical Resources’ Managing Director Alex Cheeseman said:

“The Company has been actively drilling and developing the Mavis Lake project for almost a year, and we are very pleased with another round of excellent results.

In less than two months, the strike length of known lithium mineralisation at Mavis Lake’s main zone has increased significantly and remains open, our drilling strategy is delivering results that will directly support our maiden resource.

Latest drilling results include multiple high-grade intercepts, as well as an extremely high grade section of up to 4.2% Li20.The extension of the mineralised zone supports our broader development plans at Mavis Lake.

The opportunity to develop a lithium project with class-leading logistics and existing, immediately accessible infrastructure that provides a direct path to market, will enable Critical Resources to deliver into the Canadian and American electric vehicle supply chain during a period of unprecedented investment and growth.”

Future Works

The Company continues drilling at Mavis Lake, with the drilling program moving between main zone extension and testing mapped pegmatites adjacent to the main zone.

The Company is focusing efforts on drilling targets that will add to the potential mineral resource at Mavis Lake. Study work is ongoing in support of future development plans.
