Marketwired
Critical Elements Corporation (TSX VENTURE: CRE)(OTCQX:
CRECF)(FRANKFURT: F12) is pleased to announce the latest results of
drilling on the Rose Tantalum-Lithium deposit. The table below
shows the results for holes LR-11-156 to LR-11-171 (except for Hole
LR-11-167), drilled to test the eastern extension of the zones. All
the holes intercepted the mineralized zones with similar grades to
earlier results. Furthermore, some intersections returned
particularly high tantalum grades, such as holes LR-11-160,
LR-11-164, LR-11-166 and LR-11-169, which yielded 405, 483, 483 and
466 PPM TA2O5 respectively. Furthermore, the results of six other
holes drilled on the JR showing confirm the potential for resource
delineation at that showing. With the exception of Hole JR-11-16,
for which results are still pending, all these holes returned
significant lithium and tantalum values.
A map showing the location of the holes drilled on the Rose
Tantalum-Lithium project can be found in the Projects section of
Critical Elements' website, at

All samples were sent for analysis in sealed containers to the
ALS Chemex laboratory in Val-d'Or by employees of the Company. ALS
Chemex is the laboratory used for analysis of all samples from
programs on the Lac Pivert/Rose property. The samples are weighed
and identified prior to sample preparation. The samples are crushed
to 70% minus 2 mm, then separated and pulverized to 85% passing 75
micron m. All samples are analyzed using ICP-MS, with full analysis
for 47 elements.
