Geophysical Survey Confirms Further Growth Potential at Mavis Lake
Critical Resources Limited (ASX: CRR ) (“Critical Resources” or the “Company” ), is pleased to advise that it has received interpretation of the airborne survey flown over the company’s Mavis Lake Lithium Project (" the Project ”) in Ontario, Canada in October 2021. The interpretation has provided a significant basis for the potential of a further 28 new drill targets across the property.
Highlights
-
28 new target areas identified from litho-structural interpretation including 11 high priority targets
-
Exploration works on new targets will be undertaken to develop a drilling strategy to expand on the current 5,000m program
-
Current drilling program is approximately 20% complete of which the first 8 of 9 holes have intersected visual spodumene with estimates of spodumene content up to 40%.[1, 2]
New targets provide further growth potential at Mavis Lake
The Company is pleased to announce it has received a highly positive litho-structural interpretation from the geophysical airborne survey flown across the Mavis Lake property in late 2021. The interpretation is based on magnetic, radiometric and VLF electromagnetic data.
Drilling is ongoing at the Project with the ~5,000m drill program approximately 20% complete. Of the first 9 holes 8 holes have intersected visual spodumene with estimates of spodumene content up to 40%.[1, 2]
Critical Resources Managing Director Alex Biggs said: “In conjunction with the recent drilling success at Mavis Lake, confirming further growth potential is extremely encouraging. The interpretation of the geophysical data in combination with visual results from the current program are critical in the development of future drilling campaigns and gaining further confidence in Mavis Lake’s potential”.
Geophysical Data Interpretation
Litho-structural interpretation at a scale of 1:10 000 over the Mavis Lake project area was completed using flown magnetic/radiometric/VLF and DEM survey with the help of other supportive data and information from previous exploration efforts. Due to significant forest/forest soil cover over the project area, the structural interpretation was based primarily on the aero magnetics and to some extent also on VLF data. Radiometric, DEM, satellite data have been studied and analysed, however, these make a minor contribution to the interpretation.

2 In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

The interpretation was primarily concerned with the identification of pegmatite bodies, prospective for lithium mineralisation. With no significant property contrasts between the pegmatites and the typical host rocks, (direct) targeting lithium bearing pegmatites with geophysics is difficult. The targeting strategy was therefore focused on indirect leads: a) lithological associations (proximity to granitoid bodies, associations with mafic/ultramafic sequences) b) structural context and structural complexity (looking for structures and traps that may act as conduits for Li-bearing fluids to flow and precipitate) c) reduction of the search area by eliminating strongly magnetic sequences and looking for distinct magnetic lows, consistent with presumed felsic lithology. In general, preferred were areas of significant structural deformation/fragmentation that produce favourable conditions for pegmatite precipitation and formation of structures that may act as fluid conduits.
Based on information derived from the geophysical data, a total of 28 target areas have been selected for follow up. The target areas require follow-up surface mapping, geochemical surveys and reconnaissance drilling to obtain further information about the underlying geology. The 28 targets have been ranked as high, moderate and low priority, with little to no difference between high and moderate priority. These areas are seen in the following two figures, with numerical values (High – 1, Moderate – 2 and Low – 3) placed in each target area to highlight their respective priority.

Mavis Lake Project Description
The Mavis Lake Lithium Project is 19 kilometres east of the town of Dryden, Ontario. The Project is in close vicinity to the Trans-Canada highway and railway major transportation arteries linking larger cities such as Thunder Bay, Ontario, to the southeast and Winnipeg, Manitoba, to the west. The region boasts excellent infrastructure with hydro-power located a few kilometres to the south-west of the project. The region is a well-established lithium province with multiple projects located within the vicinity.
Previous drill programs have yielded high-grade Li2O intercepts including:
-
55.25m at 1.04% Li2O from 80.75m in drill hole MF18-53 and
-
26.30m at 1.70% Li2O from 111.9m inc. 7.70m at 2.97% Li2O from 130.5m in drill hole MF17‐491.
These results present significant exploration potential, a summary of previous results can be seen in ASX announcement dated 25 October 2021. A future work program has been determined and is outlined in detail in ASX announcement dated 13 Dec 2021.

Deposit Type and Exploration Thesis
Previous exploration campaigns at Mavis Lake have confirmed the presence of lithium-bearing pegmatites.
The pegmatite occurrences at Mavis Lake are found within the correct zonation for lithium enrichment from the Ghost Lake Batholith, a fertile granite intrusion. The zonation of pegmatite occurrences can be seen in Figure 5.

Forward Work Program
The Company plans an aggressive approach to exploration at Mavis Lake with a view to delineating a JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimate. Planned activities are as laid out below.
Diamond Drilling and Assaying
Continuation of inaugural 5,000m drill program and strategy development for subsequent drilling campaigns. Assaying will be completed in line with drill results and appropriate mineralised intersections.
Surface Mapping and Sampling
Surface mapping and sampling of outcropping pegmatites will assist in identifying targets in collaboration with the airborne survey data. Further surface exploration of the lease outside of the known Pegmatite 6 and Pegmatite 18 prospects is expected to yield further target areas.
Core Logging and Data Interpretation
Ongoing review of previous drill core and data as well as incorporation of new data to support development of a JORC compliant Resource estimate.
Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical test work will be conducted on suitable core samples to identify and confirm mineral processing properties and allow flow sheet development in an attempt to produce a low-impurity, highgrade spodumene concentrate

The Lithium Industry in Ontario
Canadian Government’s C$3.8 Billion Critical Minerals Strategy
Recently announced strategy by the Canadian government to boost domestic production of lithium, copper and other strategic minerals to help propel the country's efforts to become a key part of the global electric vehicle supply chain. The spending, announced during Canada's federal budget unveiling on 7 April 22, promises grants for mineral surveying, processing and recycling, as well as tax credits for development of new mines and subsidies for infrastructure.
Ontario’s First-Ever Critical Mineral Strategy
In March of 2022 the government of Ontario announced their first-ever critical minerals strategy. The strategy aims to secure Ontario’s position as a global leader of responsibly sourced critical minerals. To achieve this, collaboration is dependent between government, industry, Indigenous peoples, communities, and other stakeholders. Working together, this strategy will build a stronger, more resilient economy and revitalise local communities. The strategy is comprised of six pillars, or areas of government action, which will solidify Ontario’s position as a global leader of responsibly sourced critical minerals. The pillars are; Enhancing geoscience information and supporting critical minerals exploration, Growing Domestic processing and creating resilient supply chains, Improving Ontario’s regulatory framework, Investing in innovation, research, and development, Building economic development opportunities with Indigenous partners, and Growing labour supply and developing a skilled labour force.
Tesla Battery Gear Manufacturing Plant Opens
Tesla has recently announced the opening of a battery gear manufacturing plant in Markham, Ontario demonstrating the significant opportunity for Ontario to become one of the world’s leading lithium provinces. The facility will be the first branded Tesla Canada manufacturing facility in Canada. A significant amount of activity in the lithium exploration sector is currently occurring in Ontario. Due to the quality of lithium assets in the region, the fundamental drivers behind the lithium market and the intent of North American manufacturers to source lithium for battery manufacturing from localised supply-chains, it is an excellent time to be gaining a foothold in Ontario.
Thunder Bay Regional Lithium Refinery
Avalon Advanced Materials Inc (TSX:AVL) has recently announced the agreement of a binding letter of intent to develop a regional battery supply chain in Ontario and elsewhere. The first step of this development will be establishing a lithium refinery in Thunder Bay, Ontario, approximately 350km from the Mavis Lake Lithium Project. The plant aims for a production capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium hydroxide and/or lithium carbonate. Sources of lithium concentrate will be initially from Avalon’s Separation Rapids Lithium Project while other projects begin production.
This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors.
