Overall Performance

The Company is engaged in the exploration for critical metals and gold in Namibia through its 95% owned subsidiary, Namibia Rare Earths (Pty) Ltd., a Namibian company ("Namibia Pty") and its 95% interest in nine additional Namibian subsidiaries acquired from Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd through the Company's Cayman subsidiary, Cayman Namibia Rare Earths Inc., on February 21, 2018. Since incorporation in 2004, Namibia Pty has established a presence in Namibia and has applied for and been granted a number of exclusive prospecting licenses.

The major focus of the Company's activities from 2010 to February 2018 had been the Lofdal Heavy Rare Earths Project. On February 21, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of six critical metal and gold properties in Namibia from Gecko Namibia (Pty). This transaction provided Namibia Critical Metals with a diversified exploration portfolio (Figure 1) and at the same time has secured a highly experienced strategic partner. Gecko Namibia and its subsidiaries are substantial participants in the Namibian resource sector with a proven track record in the mining industry. The portfolio of properties acquired from Gecko Namibia has expanded the Company's commodity interest from solely heavy rare earths to a variety of highly critical commodities which currently includes gold, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, vanadium, tantalum and niobium. Current ground holdings are summarized in Table 1.

Following the transaction with Gecko Namibia, a focus was placed on the Kunene Cobalt-Copper Project throughout 2018-2020. Exploration results were largely unsuccessful and these properties were deemed to not warrant further investment. As a consequence, non-core prospecting licences were largely relinquished in the year. Since 2020 the Company has focused on further development of the Lofdal project through its joint venture with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") and on exploration of its gold properties in Namibia. The Otjitanga light rare earth property is in a final stage for a commercial transaction.
