DIAMOND DRILLING AT POMME REE-Nb PROJECT
EXTENDS KNOWN MINERALISED ZONES
Highlights:
Further diamond drill holes intersect visible rare earth element (REE)
mineralisation within the Pomme carbonatite complex
Three holes completed, drilling continuing on the fourth hole, to test for
higher-grade REE-niobium mineralisation
‘Scissor’ hole confirms mineralised zone in the southwest corner of the
target area at shallower depths
New zones of REE mineralisation intersected in northwest part of the
carbonatite complex – confirming that mineralisation extends more than
one kilometre to the north of the historical drill holes
Sampling for detailed assays in progress, first results anticipated in early
August
MTM Critical Metals Limited (ASX:MTM) (MTM or the Company) is pleased to advise that the
diamond drilling program at the Pomme REE-Nb project in Québec, Canada (Pomme or the
Project) is progressing rapidly since work recommenced in mid-July 2023 following
suspension of activities due to forest fires near the Project area. A further two drill holes (POM23-02 & POM-23-03) have been completed for a total of 744 metres of diamond drilling. The
rig has been mobilised to a new pad and has commenced drilling the next hole (POM-23-04)
which is already at 281 metres depth.
The team on-site at Pomme report that visible REE mineralisation has again been intersected
in the recent drill holes. Hole POM-23-02 in the west of the carbonatite complex appears to
be dominated by magnetic silicocarbonatite rocks and is less well mineralised. However, hole
POM-23-03, which is a ‘scissor’ hole oriented back towards the south has intersected visual
REE mineralisation interpreted to potentially be the up-dip continuation of extensive
mineralisation observed in the first hole of the program (see MTM ASX announcement dated
6 June 2023). Hole POM-23-04 has intersected significant zones of visual REE mineralisation
in an entirely new part of the carbonatite complex which has not previously been tested.
Commenting on the ongoing drilling program, MTM Managing Director Lachlan Reynolds said:
“These latest drill holes from the Pomme project are starting to shape our understanding
of the geology within the Pomme carbonatite complex and the distribution of the rare
earth element mineralisation within it.
The work to-date has confirmed that mineralisation extends more than one kilometre to
the north of the historical drill holes, indicating that it is a very big system. We are excited
to be now testing new areas of the carbonatite complex in an effort to discover highergrade mineralisation that could be a new REE resource.”

DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE
A program of diamond drilling is continuing at Pomme after a delay due to forest fires near the
Project area (see MTM ASX announcement dated 14 July 2023). Since re-mobilising, a further
two drill holes have been completed in the southwest and west part of the Pomme carbonatite
complex and another hole is in progress (Appendix 1, Figure 1). Drilling has been very rapid,
principally because the carbonatites are relatively soft and easy to drill.

Hole POM-23-02
Hole POM-23-02 (Figure 2) was completed at a depth of 330 metres downhole (Appendix I).
This hole was collared approximately 500 metres to the north of POM-23-01, which intersected
in excess of 500 metres of visible REE mineralisation (assay results still pending). The hole
principally intersected silicocarbonatite rocks containing low grade to trace mineralisation,
mainly in veins and fractures (Appendix II, see Figure 3 below of core section). The
silicocarbonatite was quite magnetic, corresponding to the observed anomaly on airborne
magnetic images.

mineralisation (red coloured disseminations to semi-massive) within ferrocarbonatite/

Page 3
Hole POM-23-03
POM-23-03 was drilled towards the south, as a “scissor” hole back towards POM-23-01 and
is interpreted to have intersected the up-dip continuation of mineralisation observed in hole
POM-23-01, showing that it extends closer to surface (Figure 2). The hole intersected 16.5
metres of unconsolidated glacial till at the top of the hole and then cored weakly mineralised
ultramafic silicocarbonatite rocks to 138 metres downhole. To the end of hole at 414 metres
downhole, drilling intersected zones of ferrocarbonatite and calciocarbonatite that contained
visible significant REE mineralisation (Appendix II, see Figure 4 above of core section).
Hole POM-23-04
The latest drill hole in the Pomme program is located in the northwest corner of the drill grid,
oriented towards the interpreted northern margin of the carbonatite complex (Figure 1). The
hole intersected approximately 36 metres of glacial till at the surface and is currently at a depth
of 281 metres downhole. Drilling has also intersected silicocarbonatite rocks, with zones of
calciocarbonatite containing visual REE mineralisation (Appendix II, Figure 2).
REE Mineralisation
Visible REE mineralisation was again observed in the diamond drill holes (Appendix II). As
previously reported, the mineralisation, which is tentatively identified as the fluoro-carbonate
minerals cebaite (Ba3(Nd,Ce)2(CO3)5F2) and/or bastnaesite ((La,Ce,Y)CO3F), plus monazite
((La,Ce,Nd)PO4). The REE mineralisation is medium to coarse grained and has a very distinct
colour that is easily distinguished in the drill core by the geologists on-site. Routine crosschecking of the drill core using a hand-held pXRF device has confirmed the presence of REE’s
but this method does not effectively determine the grade.
In hole POM-23-03 mineralisation was locally logged with up to 30% visual abundance in the
drill core over narrow intervals (10-50cm). More typically mineralisation ranged from 1% to
5% abundance over decimetre to metre scales. A number of zones were estimated to contain
“medium grade” REE oxide, considered to be approximately 0.5% to 1% total rare earth
element (TREO) content (Appendix II).
FURTHER WORK
Drilling is continuing at Pomme and the drill rig is at 281 metres depth on hole POM-23-04,
located approximately 500 metres to the north of POM-23-02 (Figure 2). This hole is expected
to be completed in coming days at a depth of approximately 500m downhole. The rig will
subsequently move to test along a traverse through the central part of the Pomme carbonatite
complex.
Sampling of the drill core from POM-23-01 has been completed and all samples submitted for
assay. Results from the upper part of this drill hole, completed before operations were
interrupted, are expected to be available in the next week.
Processing of drill core from holes POM-23-02 and POM-23-03 is currently underway.
Detailed assay results from these holes are expected to be available in 4 to 6 weeks depending
on laboratory turnaround times.
A total of approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is planned as a first-pass test of the Pomme
carbonatite complex and the REE-Nb mineralisation.

Absolute percentages of the lithologies and mineralisation abundance are shown.
Actual TREO grade has not been reported and will require verification from detailed assays. Sampling is in progress and detailed assays are expected to be available in
4 – 6 weeks.
Nb mineralisation grade has not been visually estimated. Detailed assays will be required to determine the Nb content of the drill core samples.

Logging
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to
the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
