Critical Metals Corp Unveils High-Grade Drilling Results in Greenland
Critical Metals Corp has announced promising drilling results from the Tanbreez Project in Greenland, revealing exceptionally high-grade mineralization. The company’s latest findings indicate total rare earth oxide (TREO) grades ranging from 0.48% to 0.55%, alongside a significant heavy rare earth oxide (HREO) component of 27.0%. The results stem from the ongoing 2024-2025 Fjord Resource Upgrade program and highlight the project’s potential as a critical source of rare earth minerals.
The drilling campaign has exceeded expectations, with all four reported drill holes intersecting ultra high-grade rare earth element mineralization. In addition to the TREO results, the assays included zirconium oxide grades of approximately 1.86% to 1.99% and gallium oxide assays between 90 and 100 ppm. This additional mineralization could provide economic benefits, enhancing the overall project viability.
Drilling operations were conducted vertically through layers of kakortokite, a type of igneous rock, at true thicknesses. The mineralization remains open at depth, indicating potential for further resource expansion. The results confirm the continuity of both grade and mineralogy across various sections of the Fjord Deposit, aligning with historical data that underscores the deposit’s strategic significance.
Details of the Drilling Program
As part of the drilling program, a total of over 1,500 meters have been drilled to date in 2025, with more assays expected to be released between late August and October 2025. The four drill holes—DDH-A1-24, DDH-A2-24, DDH-B-24, and DDH-C-24—were strategically placed within the Fjord Deposit, which is estimated to contain approximately 23.6 million tonnes at a grade of 0.42% TREO.
Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp, expressed enthusiasm about the latest results, stating, “These incredible results underscore the strategic value of Tanbreez as a rare earth elements and gallium project with scale, grade, and a high proportion of critical heavy rare earths.” Sage noted the growing importance of securing sources of these critical minerals, especially in light of China’s dominance in the global rare earth market.
Future Prospects and Resource Expansion
The company plans to further delineate the mineral resources through additional drilling, with nine more drill holes awaiting assay results. The ongoing program aims to validate historical data, refine geological models, and provide material for metallurgical and environmental testing.
The Fjord Deposit’s mineralization is classified as stratiform magmatic, confined to the kakortokite unit. This geological characteristic contributes to the confidence in resource modeling, supporting bulk mining strategies and offering reliable input for future mine planning.
Critical Metals Corp’s commitment to expanding the Tanbreez Project aligns with its broader goal of becoming a reliable supplier of critical minerals crucial for defense applications and the clean energy transition. The results from this drilling campaign not only solidify the project’s status but also position it strategically within the evolving landscape of global resource security.
As the company continues to process additional drill core samples, they anticipate releasing further assay results that could enhance the project’s mineral inventory. With the growing demand for rare earth elements and other critical minerals, the developments at Tanbreez are poised to play a significant role in shaping supply chains in the Western world.
