Critical Elements Reports Winter 2026 Drill Program Results at Rose West

Critical Elements Lithium Corporation has released assay results from its Phase 1 Winter 2026 drill program at Rose West in Québec. The program successfully expanded the mineralized footprint from 450 m x 370 m to 1250 m x 800 m.

The company identified three new spodumene-bearing pegmatitic bodies with strong lateral continuity. Significant lithium and tantalum assays were reported, including 1.89% Li2O and 207 ppm Ta2O5 over 13.50 m in Pegmatite 3 from hole RW-26-32. Other highlights include 2.18% Li2O over 12.60 m in hole RW-26-46.

Rose West lies close to the advanced Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project, and the recent drills have added considerable potential for growing the mineral inventory. New findings are expected to enhance the existing geological model significantly. Further assay results are pending, promising additional insights into the area's lithium resources.
