Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) executed a non-binding term sheet for a 50/50 joint venture with Tariq Abdel Hadi Abdullah Al-Qahtani & Brothers to develop, finance, construct, and operate a rare earth processing facility in Saudi Arabia valued up to $1,500,000,000. The JV framework includes long-term offtake for 25% of Tanbreez rare earth concentrate for the life of mine, and with prior agreements now allocates 100% of Tanbreez production under long-term offtake. CRML will retain a 50% carried interest with no equity issuance or debt obligations for JV construction. Parties will finalize technical, commercial, and regulatory terms over coming months, and finished materials are planned to be sent to the United States for defense-related uses.
Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) reported first assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Tanbreez Rare Earths Project (Fjord and Upper Fjord areas) on Jan 14, 2026. The company completed a 3,430-metre 2025 program (20 holes) and reported assays for 13 holes to date showing TREO+Y grades of ~0.35%–0.77% with HREO ~25%–29%. Results confirm lateral and vertical continuity, strategic associated metals (gallium ~100 ppm, hafnium ~300 ppm, cerium ~1,600 ppm) and an Upper Fjord extension of at least 1.0 km and >200 m true thickness. Remaining assays are pending and will feed resource updates and mine planning.
Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) ordered a turnkey Integrated Mobile Geochemical Analysis Centre from Bromet for approximately US$1m to support the Tanbreez rare earth elements project and pilot plant activities.
The modular, two-unit facility uses a Bruker M4 Tornado Plus 26S Micro XRF and automated sample prep to generate full REE results in ~80 minutes, enabling an on-site "mine-to-data" workflow, reduced reliance on off-site labs, faster assay turnaround, and local training of Greenlandic personnel. Commissioning will require applicable Greenland regulatory approvals.
Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ: CRML) has approved and started construction of an Arctic-grade multi-use building in Qaqortoq, Greenland to support the Tanbreez rare earths project. The works are under a full turnkey contract with 60° North Greenland covering design, permitting, logistics, construction and commissioning.
The facility (~80m x 20m, 10m clear height) is divided into three sections with mezzanines for offices and is engineered for Arctic conditions. The pilot-plant section is scheduled to be ready for use on or before May 2026. The company also purchased a residential property in Qaqortoq for a local office.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) reported final results from its 2024 Tanbreez Fjord drilling program in Greenland on Dec 15, 2025. Drilling (13 holes, 1,149.5 m) returned consistent mineralisation from surface with TREO 0.39%–0.54% (weighted average 0.44%) and a stable HREO share ~25–27%. Notable multi‑commodity values include ZrO2 1.55–1.97%, CeO2 ~1,638 ppm, Nb2O5 ~1,396 ppm, Ga2O5 ~96–103 ppm and HfO2 ~312–484 ppm. A long 203.2 m intersection (K-24) and multiple >40–200 m true widths support lateral and vertical continuity. Results will inform a revised Mineral Resource Estimate once pending 2025 assays are received.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) confirmed 2025 metallurgical test work at Fremantle successfully replicated the 2016 AMTEC/ALS results under independent review by Professor Tony Tang.
The program validated a dry magnetic separation flowsheet and a new high-intensity magnetic circuit (>12,000 gauss), produced an ultra-clean eudialyte concentrate and a secondary mixed TREEs concentrate, and completed independent elemental analyses.
Critical Metals acquired a 300–500 kg/hr Proof-of-Concept Pilot Plant for ~$2 million, targets commissioning in Q2 2026, plans weekly 10-ton eudialyte batches from mid-2026, and will feed design for a 50:50 JV with Nuclearelectrica to build a Romanian refinery.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) executed a Term-Sheet on Dec 9, 2025 to form a 50/50 joint venture with Romanian state-owned FPCU to build and operate a rare earth processing facility in Romania.
The JV gives CRML long-term offtake rights to 50% of Tanbreez concentrate life-of-mine, increases CRML’s committed offtake to 75% of Tanbreez via existing agreements, requires no debt or equity issuance from CRML for JV capital expenditures, and targets production of aerospace and military-grade magnets. The partners will jointly update the FS and aim to report progress by end of Q1 2026. CRML and Romania will apply for the EU €3.5 billion rare earth package.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) provided an update on the Wolfsberg lithium project following a Federal Administrative Court decision on Nov 25, 2025.
The court overturned the Carinthian state government's no-EIA ruling and remanded the matter for a new decision, accepting that the project's area does not exceed the 10-hectare statutory threshold but finding that the threshold may conflict with EU law. The court ordered a case-by-case review to assess whether significant environmental effects could occur and granted leave to appeal to the Administrative Court of Justice. The decision does not automatically require an EIA. ECM Lithium AT GmbH will evaluate next steps. The company CEO said this ruling does not affect Wolfsberg mining timing and expressed confidence full environmental approval will be reinstated.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) completed an all-share acquisition on Nov 21, 2025, issuing 2.0 million ordinary shares at US$10 per share (US$20M) to acquire 40 kg of ultra-high-purity (UHP) 99.96% copper powder from a European single-family office.
The deal was executed at a 40% premium to the prior close and secures a G7/EU-origin, traceable stockpile aimed at defense, aerospace, advanced energy and semiconductor customers; the material is quoted at US$1,500–2,500 per gram.
Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) announced that the Environment Agency for Mineral Resource Activities (EAMRA) has determined the required geochemical test work for the Tanbreez project is complete following submission of reports on September 29, 2025.
The reports were prepared by Danish engineering firm NIRAS A/S. Management described the approval as a key milestone toward commencing mining at Tanbreez and said the company will continue work with Greenland authorities and NIRAS to accelerate project development.
Remaining steps include approval of the rest of the mine and closure plan and approvals for plans for specific activities.
