New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Over 14x increase in shares outstanding. This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

Operational Update and Delivery of Ore: After taking several samples from the various ore stockpiles, OM Metals SARL, the current copper ore off-taker, has sent its first ore haulage truck to load ore from the Company's stockpile for purchase and processing at the OM Metals plant. Approximately 40-tonnes of copper ore was loaded onto the truck and has arrived at the OM Metals plant for crushing, assaying, analysis, and processing. Additional trucks from OM Metals will follow once sampling and assaying are completed this week. Payment for this ore should happen within two weeks after invoicing OM Metals. In addition, geotechnical and geological activities at Molulu are resuming as the geologist team has returned from leave. There are several areas identified for continued geotechnical activities in the Southern zone and an area where the Conglomerate outcrops with traces of copper malachite in the Northern zone. These geotechnical activities will provide further data points for consideration when designing the new diamond drill programme. Preliminary discussions are ongoing with various agencies to plan a feasibility study for the potential installation of a 2 MW solar power unit at Molulu. This power unit is designed to reduce costs at the camp and to supply enough power to operate a potential future copper concentrator plant and surrounding area, including the E.P. Molulu school. The installation of any solar power unit would be subject to the Company obtaining additional funding or grants. New Risk • Nov 01

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: UK£7.65m (US$9.67m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected.

Critical Metals plc Provides Update on its Phase 1 Diamond Drilling Programme At the Company's Molulu Copper/Cobalt Asset Molulu Critical Metals plc provided an update on its Phase 1 diamond drilling programme at the Company's Molulu copper/cobalt asset Molulu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The diamond drilling programme which focusses on Phase 1 of three areas identified by mapping and geophysics analysis completed earlier in the year, consists of 1,000 meters of drilling the oxide zone and is aimed to increase the understanding of the Molulu Project, identify other potential targets and increase the mineral resource. The Company is underway with Phase 1 of the DD programme with more than 100 meters drilled, with some significant shallow copper intersections, notably drill hole DD-1-01 which intersected high grade copper mineralization of 13.02%, 6.77% and 5.42% from 10.80 meters to 15.83 meters deep. Results from the other nine drill holes within the DD programme are anticipated imminently as the Company progresses towards obtaining a JORC compliant resource.

Critical Metals plc Provides Update on Recent Progress at the Company's Molulu Copper/Cobalt Asset in the Democratic Republic of Congo Critical Metals plc provided an update on recent progress at the Company's Molulu copper/cobalt asset in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, Critical Metals announced it has raised PS600,000 at 25 pence per share, the proceeds of which will be used to assess acquisition opportunities in line with the Company's stated goal to expand its asset base. Further to the announcement of 15 May 2023, the Molulu Project has three areas where mapping and geophysics analysis has been completed, with the Induced Polarisation (IP) beginning this week. During the mapping and geophysics surveys, two new copper anomalies were discovered directly south of the Phase 1 area. These new areas, known as Phase 1a and Phase 1b, will be included in the current IP programme. The Company believes that this will further increase the tonnage to the already known copper resource base. The IP will move to the Phase 3 and Phase 2 locations respectively which will allow geologists to identify the approximate depth and image of the subsurface minerals, notably copper and cobalt. The drilling targets will then be based on the results of the IP imaging which will be released when complete. In addition, a drilling contractor has been appointed and recently visited Molulu to begin preparation for mobilisation on site. Initial drill target areas have been discussed and final decisions on the location of the first drill pads will happen once the Phase 1 IP imagery is received, which is expected in June 2023. Once the first drill results are received, the Company believes there will be sufficient data to obtain a JORC Resource for the project. In early May 2023, the Company's management decided to use the hired dozer and excavator that were already located at Molulu to rehabilitate the road that connects the property to a number of ore buyers' processing plants. This decision saved shareholders over $50,000 in external contractor costs. The dozer has now rehabilitated the entire road and now all that remains to allow large tipper trucks to use the road to supply ore to the selected buyers is the construction of a bridge that can accept the weight of 40-50 tonne tipper trucks. Management has decided to use 40-50 tonne trucks instead of 25 tonne trucks in order to move larger volumes of copper ore more efficiently, thereby reducing the wear on both the bridge and road, while reducing variable unit costs. The water-direction piping, steel re-enforcement, cement, and other bridge building requirements are on site and the building of the bridge has begun. The Company expects that the bridge will be complete in June 2023. A water pump has been purchased and installed in the high-grade copper sulphide open pit. Water decanting has begun, and the open pit is expected to be empty in the middle of June 2023. This pit is the new focus of mining due to the Company's belief that the in-situ sulphide ore is higher-grade and extends past 100 meters in depth. It is anticipated drilling will begin in the second half of June 2023 once the first results of the Phase 1 IP programme are received. Last month, the Company hired an exploration geologist working on her PhD in geology to capture and collate all the geotechnical, geophysics, IP, and borehole drilling data for insertion into the creation of the maiden JORC report for Molulu.

Critical Metals plc Provides Operational Update on Activities at its Molulu Copper/Cobalt Asset in the Democratic Republic of Congo Critical Metals Plc provided a comprehensive operational update on activities at the company's Molulu copper/cobalt asset ('Molulu') in the Democratic Republic of Congo ('DRC'). The Company has mined over 6,500 tonnes of oxide ore at an average grade of 3%, as measured by geologist using a handheld XRF, which is now available for sale. After surveying the Molulu copper grades and market, the technical team have decided to focus mining on the high-grade sulphide copper ore. This high-grade sulphide copper ore body will be exposed in the pits that have begun the dewatering process. To illustrate why the Company is focusing on the sulphide zones, a grab sample was taken from the big pit that is currently being dewatered. This sample was analysed using a handheld x-ray fluorescent (XRF) and the copper result was 8.36%. For comparison purposes, copper head grades in mines in Chile, Peru, and Arizona are below 1% contained copper. Due to the much higher-grade sulphide copper ore, mining the sulphide zones has the potential to increase profitability by orders of magnitude above the oxide only mining. Details on the mining of the sulphide zones will be released during and after the drilling programme. Oxide mining will continue but will no longer be the focus of production. There are several identified areas where the host geology is favorable to find large copper and cobalt zones. The mapping data exercise was completed last week and will be used in conjunction with the findings from the geophysics and IP data collection that is underway. Geophysics analysis is processing images of the copper and cobalt anomalies by injecting electric currents into the ground. The mapping, geophysics, and IP (induced-polarisation) programmes are expected to be completed by the end of May, and the drilling programme will begin in June. Early results from the drill programme will be released when they become available. These drilling results will be used to form the basis of a JORC report. Dewatering process of pits underway: The dewatering of both sulphide and copper pits has begun. First, a trench has been dug from the smaller pit so the water could decant naturally to a local stream. In addition to the trench, a large watering pump was purchased two weeks ago and is en route to Molulu. The Company expects to begin dewatering the big pit with the pump this week and anticipate both pits will be dewatered within thirty days. Tillkännagivande • Jan 28
Critical Metals plc Announces the Commencement of Copper Production At the Molulu Project Critical Metals plc announced the commencement of copper production at the Molulu Project, an ex-producing copper cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") ("Molulu Project"). Production follows the completion of preparation work on site and the arrival of several vital pieces of mining equipment. This is a major landmark as the Company moves towards securing further assets. The mine will initially run on a single-shift basis and is estimated to produce approximately 10,000 tonnes of copper oxide ore per month on a steady-state production rate. The copper ore produced in January 2023 will be stockpiled for sale into the market in February 2023. All copper material extracted from the mine will be sent to local processing plants, of which there are four in the Likasi and Lubumbashi areas expressing interest in purchasing Molulu copper ore. In addition, the Company's engineers, geologists, and advising consultants are discussing various strategies to optimise and increase monthly copper ore production. Further information on this will be released when appropriate. As previously mentioned, the Central Cobalt Anomaly and South Cobalt Anomaly have recently had test samples taken by the Company's lead geologist; as of date of this announcement, 180 samples have been taken.

The Molulu Project, located approximately 98 kilometres north of Lubumbashi in the Katanga Copperbelt, is 30 kilometres northwest from the village of Malambwe. Copper has been mined in the Katangan Copperbelt since at least the late 19th Century. The mineralised zones are at the western end of the Katangan Copperbelt, one of the great metallogenic provinces of the world, and contains some of the world's richest copper, cobalt, and uranium deposits. The Molulu Project was the first acquisition made by the Company since its readmission on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 12 September 2022. The Company owns 100% of Madini Occidental Limited ("Madini Occidental"), which holds an indirect 70% interest in the Molulu Project. Board Change • Nov 16
