Critical Elements Announces Positive Results in Summer Drill Program at Rose West

Critical Elements Lithium Corporation has reported positive assay results from its Summer 2026 drilling program at the Rose West site in Québec. The Phase 2 exploration, deploying two drill rigs, aims to expand the mineralized footprint significantly. The 10,000-meter program targets an area approximately 1,250 x 2,000 meters, focusing on pegmatite bodies within the system.

The program revealed substantial expansions, notably extending the mineralized area by an additional 300 x 300 meters. Noteworthy results include 1.89% Li2O and 161 ppm Ta2O5 over 27.35 meters, and other promising lithium and tantalum assays. The effort also highlights effective geological modeling and predictive capabilities.

Current drilling focuses on expanding laterally, confirming continuity, and exploring new pegmatites. To date, eleven holes were drilled, intersecting principal pegmatites at the site. The continuation of systematic drilling is essential for the project’s potential.
