Critical Elements expands Rose West with multiple +1% Li2O assays

Critical Elements Lithium (TSXV: CRE; OTCQX: CRECF) reported the results of the 3,670-metre winter drill program at Rose West as they continue to return multiple wide intersections of lithium-rich pegmatites. The best assay was 1.75% lithium oxide (Li₂O) and 201 ppm tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) over 10.1 metres in hole RD-24-19.

Several more high-grade intersections were reported:

• 1.39% Li₂O and 157 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 35.3 metres, including 2.33% Li₂O and 152 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 9 metres in hole RS-24-25A.
• 1.29% Li₂O and 121 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 31.5 metres, including 1.69% Li₂O and 127 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 13.5 metres in hole RD-24-24.
• 1.22% Li₂O and 250 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 20.5 metres, including 1.60% Li₂O and 181 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 15 meters in hole RD-24-17.
• 1.27% Li₂O and 192 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 18.7 metres in hole RD-24-27.
• 1.59% Li₂O and 127 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 13.8 metres in hole RD-24-18.
• 1.59% Li₂O and 127 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 13.8 metres in hole RD-24-18.

Critical Elements says the new find is “highly prospective” but says it is pleased with the results so far.

The Rose West discovery is part of the Rose project that includes Rose and Rose South lithium-tantalum properties. The property is located in Quebec, 80 km south of the Eleonore gold mine and 45 km northwest of the Whabouchi lithium project. The Rose properties are 100%-owned by Critical Elements.

A feasibility study for Rose was produced last fall. It includes an indicated resource for both pit constrained and underground mineralization that includes 1.8 million tonnes, grading 0.93% Li₂O and 145 ppm Ta₂O₅, plus an inferred resource of 2.4 million tonnes grading 0.78% Li₂O and 129 ppm Ta₂O₅. Included is a probable reserve of 26.3 million tonnes at 0.87% Li₂O and 138 ppm Ta₂O₅.
