Critical Elements Lithium Gains Financial Backing for Rose Project

Critical Elements Lithium (TSX-V: CRE) has announced a significant financial milestone in the development of its Rose lithium-tantalum project. According to a recent report (published on February 10, 2025), the company has received a letter of support from a leading Canadian financial institution, indicating the potential provision of up to $115 million in long-term project debt financing.

Following this announcement, Critical Elements Lithium experienced a notable surge in its share prices, jumping 17.7% to C$0.58 by noon ET on the TSX Venture Exchange. This increase has raised the company's market capitalization to C$126.3 million (approximately $88 million).

The Rose project, located in northern Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory, covers over 24,600 hectares and is strategically positioned at the northeastern end of the Archean Lake Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. As outlined in a feasibility study released on August 29, 2023, the project is expected to produce both technical-grade spodumene concentrate for the glass and ceramics industry and chemical-grade spodumene concentrate for e-mobility applications, alongside tantalite concentrate. The study highlights an impressive after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 65.7% and an after-tax net present value (NPV) of $2.2 billion at an 8% discount rate.

IndexBox data emphasizes the project's scale and potential, projecting an extraction of approximately 26.3 million tonnes of ore throughout the mine's lifespan, with an average grade of 0.87% Li2O and 138 ppm Ta2O5 after dilution. The processing plant is designed to handle 1.61 million tonnes of ore annually, generating an average of 203,765 tonnes of spodumene concentrates and 580 tonnes of tantalite concentrate per year.

Furthermore, the operational details of the open pit mining process are noteworthy, with expectations to extract 182.4 million tonnes of waste rock and 10.9 million tonnes of overburden, achieving a strip ratio of 7.3 tonnes of waste per tonne of ore. This financial support marks a crucial step forward in advancing the Rose lithium-tantalum project, potentially bolstering the development of sustainable resources in the region.
