Critical Resources Limited continued its resource expansion drilling program at Mavis Lake, with an immediate focus on following up the Swell Zone where the Company has continued to intersect significant widths of high-grade spodumene bearing pegmatite. Multiple drill-holes have been sent to independent laboratories for assay and results are pending. Additional exploratory field work is ongoing, focused on geophysical and soil programs around the Gullwing, Tot and Little Wing pegmatite group.

These programs are aimed at refining future drill targets. Environmental teams are also mobilising to Mavis Lake to conduct follow-up hydrology monitoring and initial fisheries data collection. Environmental planning and monitoring programs at Mavis Lake have been ongoing since October 2022 and are key activities required to support the permitting of a future mining operation.
