Critical Elements announces promising drilling results at Rose West

Critical Elements Lithium Corp. announced encouraging results from Phase 2 of its 2026 summer drilling program at Rose West, located in the Eeyou Istchee territory of Quebec. This program targets the systematic extension of 10,000 meters around the initial Rose West discovery.

Initial results revealed significant levels of lithium and tantalum, including 1.89% Li2O over 27.35 m. The program aims to extend the mineralized footprint to approximately 1250 x 2000 m, with the possibility of adding two new pegmatitic bodies.

Critical Elements is using two drill rigs to maximize program efficiency, based on a predictive geological model. To date, 11 holes have been drilled and analyzed, confirming significant lateral expansion of pegmatites, including pegmatites 5, 3, and 2 in the primary target area.
