Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. announced that exploration drilling has begun at the Thierry Mine Project near Pickle Lake, Ontario effective July 6, 2023. The 2023 summer program is designed for approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling and will focus on expanding upon the K1-1 deposit which is a large tonnage, near surface deposit located approximately 3 km from the past producing Thierry Mine. The K1-1 deposit has a current Inferred Mineral Resource within an optimized Whittle pit shell consisting of the following: 53,614,000 tonnes grading 0.38% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 1.8 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.05 g/t Pt and 0.14 g/t Pd at a NSR of CAD 12/tonne.

The current Inferred Resource at K1-1 does not include results from a 7,218-foot drilling program completed by Cadillac Ventures Inc. in the summer of 2012. Eight diamond drill holes were completed outside of the optimized Whittle shell and each hole intersected mineralization with assayed grades comparable to, or better than, those in the current Inferred Resource. Results of this program are included below and can be viewed on SEDAR.
