EXPLANATORY NOTE
On March 31, 2025, Critical Metals Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release relating to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “PEA”) on the Tanbreez Rare Earth Project in Greenland (the “Tanbreez Project”). A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 herewith.
The PEA states that the Tanbreez Project is expected to have a Net Present Value (“NPV”) of approximately US$3 billion (approximately US$2.8 Billion to 3.6 Billion at discount rates of 15% and 12.5%, respectively, before tax) with an internal rate of return of approximately 180%. The NPV was calculated based off an initial Mineral Resource Estimate of 44.97 million metric tons of rare earth materials (indicated and inferred resources), which is approximately 1% of the 4.7 billion metric ton host rock.
Tanbreez Project Highlights
● | Phased Growth Strategy: Planned initial production ~85,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) of rare earth element; scalable to ~425,000 tpa with modular expansion. |
● | Permitted & ESG-Aligned: Granted exploitation license; low radioactivity and minimal environmental footprint. |
● | Strategic Location: Coastal site with deep-water fjord access and proximity to existing infrastructure. |
● | Western Supply Chain Partner: Positioned as a long-term supplier to United States’s and European Union’s critical mineral and defense sectors. |
● | Large-Scale HREE Project: Resource base of 45 million tonnes (indicated and inferred resources) at 0.40% total rare-earth oxide grades with 27% heavy rare earth elements (“HREE”) (such asDy, Tb, Y); resource open laterally and at depth. |
● | Fully Permitted: Mining license granted through to 2050; low radioactivity mineralization and ESG-aligned development path. |
● | Modular Processing: Dry beneficiation to concentrate; hydrometallurgical refining planned in the United States or European Union. |
● | Logistical Advantage: Fjord-side location with year-round deep-water access; proximity to existing infrastructure. |
● | Strategic Supply Source: One of the few Western-aligned HREE sources; potential supply partner for United States’s and European Union’s critical materials strategy. |
● | Low Capex to commence mining. |
● | Two easily separated by products available for sale (feldspar and alflarsenite). |
● | Only 3% waste material. |
Critical Metals Corp currently has a 42% equity interest in Tanbreez. Critical Metals Corp plans to invest $10 million in exploration expense in Tanbreez by the end of 2025. Once the investment is completed, the Company will have the option to acquire an additional 50.5% equity interest, which would bring Critical Metal Corp’s aggregate ownership in Tanbreez to 92.5% at such time, by issuing additional ordinary shares to Tanbreez’s current majority owner having a value equal to $116 million at such time.
The information contained in this Report on Form 6-K (the “Form 6-K”), except for Exhibit 99.1, is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-280017) (including any prospectuses forming a part of such registration statement) and to be a part thereof from the date on which this Form 6-K is furnished, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
