Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. announced completion of a successful summer exploration drilling program at the Thierry Mine Project near Pickle Lake, Ontario. The Company completed seven NQ diamond drill holes and 2,598 metres of drilling with all holes encountering visual mineralization including copper, nickel and zinc. All drill holes intersected mineralized structures over similar widths and at depths from surface that are consistent with previous drilling results. The Company recently completed holes CCM-23-56 and CCM-23-57.

The Company cautions readers that visual identification of mineralization does not guarantee, or replace, assay results. Assay results may not meet or exceed results from earlier drill programs. Drill core samples have been selected for assay and the results will be reported once available. The 2023 summer program was focused on expanding upon the K1-1 deposit which is a large tonnage, near surface copper-nickel deposit located approximately 3 km east of 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 K1-1 deposits consists of approximately seven en echelon stacked lenses dipping at approximately 55 degrees to the north. Five of the seven drill holes were drilled outside of the current pit shell and orientated to intersect down dip extensions of extrapolated mineralized structures.

The drill holes were designed to intersect structures at an approximate true width. CCM-23-56 Complete. K-11-03 yielded 177 metres at 0.39% Cu beginning 172 metres from surface.

CCM-23-57 was drilled parallel to K-11-03 and outside the conceptual pit shell to a depth of 465 metres to test for down dip extensions of known mineralization. This hole was collared in barren mafic volcanics and entered zones of mafic flows, ultramafics and mafic tuffs at a depth of 248 metres from surface until the hole was terminated at 465 metres. Mineralization was consistently present throughout the entire hole once it left the mafic volcanics.

Chalcopyrite (Cu) and pyrrhotite are the primary sulphides with traces of pentlandite (Ni) and sphalerite (Zn).
