About MTM Critical Metals Limited
MTM Critical Metals Limited is an exploration company which is focused on searching for rare earth elements
(REE), gold, lithium, nickel, and base metals in the Goldfields and Ravensthorpe districts of Western Australia and
in the Abitibi region of the Province of Québec. The Company holds over 4,500km2 of tenements in three prolific
and highly prospective mineral regions in Western Australia and has an option to acquire, through an earn-in
arrangement, a 100% interest in 2,400 ha of exploration rights in Québec, Canada. The East Laverton Projects is
made up of a regionally extensive package of underexplored tenements prospective for REE, gold and base metals.
The Mt Monger Gold Project comprises an area containing known gold deposits and occurrences in the Mt Monger
area, located ~70km SE of Kalgoorlie and immediately adjacent to the Randalls gold mill operated by Silver Lake
Resources Limited. The Ravensthorpe Project contains a package of tenements in the southern part of Western
Australia between Esperance and Bremer Bay which are prospective for a range of minerals including REE, lithium,
nickel and graphite. The Pomme project in Québec is a known carbonatite intrusion that is enriched in REE and
niobium and is considered to be an extremely prospective exploration target adjacent to a world class REE resource
(Montviel deposit). Priority drilling targets have been identified in all project areas and the Company is well funded
to undertake effective exploration programs. The Company has an experienced Board and management team
which is focused on discovery to increase value for Shareholders.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Exploration & Development, Values & Forward-Looking Information
The tenements comprising the East Laverton REE Projects and Pomme REE-Nb Project (Projects) are at various stages of exploration and development and potential investors should understand that mineral
exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration and development of the Projects, or any other tenements that Mt Monger Resources may acquire in the future, will
result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Specifically, investors are cautioned that the Projects have no
reported mineral resources or ore reserves and that the proximity of the Projects to any deposit and any geological similarities with that deposit are no guarantee that the Project will be prospective for an economic
reserve.
It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of exploration results in Australia comply with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee’s Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
(“JORC Code”). Investors outside Australia should note that while exploration results pertaining to the Projects comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in
particular, do not comply with National Instrument 43 101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “Canadian NI 43 101 Standards”).
The figures, valuations, forecasts, estimates, opinions and projections contained herein involve elements of subjective judgment and analysis and assumption. Mt Monger Resources does not accept any liability in
relation to any such matters, or to inform the Recipient of any matter arising or coming to the company’s notice after the date of this document which may affect any matter referred to herein. Any opinions expressed in
this material are subject to change without notice, including as a result of using different assumptions and criteria. This document may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but
not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, and “intend” and statements than an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, or “might” occur or be achieved and
other similar expressions. Forward-looking information is subject to business, legal and economic risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, risks relating to property interests, the global economic climate, commodity prices, sovereign and legal risks, and environmental risks. Forwardlooking statements are based upon estimates and opinions at the date the statements are made. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mt Monger Resources undertakes no obligation to update these forwardlooking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to such dates or to update or keep current any of the information contained herein. The Recipient should not place undue reliance upon forwardlooking statements. Any estimates or projections as to events that may occur in the future (including projections of revenue, expense, net income and performance) are based upon the best judgment of Mt Monger
Resources from information available as of the date of this document. There is no guarantee that any of these estimates or projections will be achieved. Actual results will vary from the projections and such variations
may be material. Nothing contained herein is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation as to the past or future. Mt Monger Resources, its affiliates, directors, employees and/or agents expressly disclaim
any and all liability relating or resulting from the use of all or any part of this document or any of the information contained herein.
