Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. announced that it has entered into an Ore Purchase Agreement to send ore to the New Afton operation for processing. Under the terms of the OPA, CCMI will deliver up to 90,000 tonnes of mineralized material from the Bull River Mine ("BRM" or the "Project") to the New Afton operation near Kamloops, British Columbia over a period of two years. The Company currently has a large stockpile of approximately 180,000 tonnes of mineralized copper, gold and silver material on surface at BRM.

Material will be screened and crushed and then sorted using a Steinert KSS 100 ore sorter prior to trucking to the New Afton mill facility. Ore sorting will separate low grade and waste from higher grade material so that only higher-grade material will be trucked. CCMI plans to begin preparing material for trucking in Fourth Quarter 2023.
