Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR) is pleased to announce its 2026 exploration program at the Mavis Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada. This program aims to unlock district-scale lithium potential in the Northern Prospects, advancing resource growth beyond the existing Main Zone. With over 58,000m of drilling confirming significant lithium mineralization, including standout intercepts, our exploration success underpins future resource growth.

The 2026 program will focus on validating the resource potential of multiple high-priority spodumene-bearing pegmatites, such as Gullwing and Tot, to expand resource growth and provide future development options. Our metallurgical success supports a feasible development pathway, producing a high-grade concentrate for the North American lithium supply chain. With immediate access to infrastructure, including highway and rail, and a strategic regulatory acceleration plan in place, Mavis Lake is poised for lower-cost development aligned with the lithium market rebound expected in 2026.

We invite investors to inquire about our 2026 exploration program and the extensive growth opportunities at Mavis Lake. Our focus remains on disciplined growth and responsible development to deliver long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders.
