Critica’s Jupiter project is being advanced with a focus on sustainability, leveraging geological and processing characteristics to reduce environmental impact and align with global decarbonization objectives. Preliminary testwork indicates exceptionally low uranium and thorium content, significantly below regulatory thresholds, a favourable characteristic for handling and export. Pilot-scale beneficiation results from a 400 kg bulk sample show ~95% mass rejection across multiple ore types, meaning substantially less material requires downstream processing and storage compared to untreated feed. Flowsheet design under evaluation suggests lower water and energy intensity than direct-leach approaches, reflecting potential processing efficiencies.

Heritage assessment has been undertaken, indicating a low-risk area. The project is designed for simplicity, cost, and permitting advantage, with a flat, near-surface deposit and low strip ratio. The project is located in a rich infrastructure area with highway, power lines, and rail access within the region.
Critica’s Mt Lindsay project is being re-designed around today’s development expectations, aiming to reduce surface disturbance and integrate mine, infrastructure, and processing from the outset. The project is being advanced with a focus on sustainability, leveraging geological and processing characteristics to reduce environmental impact and align with global decarbonization objectives.
Credible execution is underway, with DRA Global appointed to lead the underground Scoping Study. The study scope includes underground mine design and scheduling, processing and materials handling, infrastructure layout, and hydroelectric power options. The project aims to provide the technical and economic basis for future development decisions.
Critica’s strategic platform includes two strategic projects, multiple critical minerals, and multiple product pathways. The company is not a single-asset story but a scalable critical minerals platform with structural tailwinds, proven execution, and multiple catalysts.
Modern technologies rely on tin and tungsten because performance often leaves no practical substitute. These critical minerals are at the heart of technology and defence, with significant supply constraints from Myanmar and Indonesia, and significant Chinese export controls.
