Critical Minerals Group Limited announced that drilling has commenced at the flagship Lindfield Vanadium Project, located in Northwest Queensland 30km from the town of Julia Creek. The Lindfield Vanadium Project has a JORC Inferred Resource of 210Mt at 0.39% VO, has shallow outcrops from the surface and is hosted within the Toolebuc Formation. The Lindfield Vanadium Project is well served by infrastructure to support the project, which is proximal to grid power, road and rail system and water.

The planned drilling program consists of 23 4C (4 inch) core holes and 1 open hole and aims to provide further results that will strengthen geological understanding of the extent of the mineralisation at the Lindfield Vanadium Project, potentially increasing the known resource and assisting in the Company's plan to provide early stage ore for metallurgical testing. Ore will also be sourced for pilot plant test work at the Vanadium Processing Pilot Plant (VPPP), under construction and being funded by the Federal and State governments. Metallurgical test work is planned to be conducted over coming months, the results of which will assist in testing and trials for the government funded VPPP in early 2023.

Key Highlights: Critical Minerals Group Limited (CMG) has commenced the aircore drilling program at its flagship Lindfield Vanadium Project. The aim is for the Lindfield Vanadium Project to supply early stage ore for metallurgical studies and pilot plant work. Drilling is anticipated to increase the geological confidence of the deposit, aiming for a resource upgrade.

The program will consist of 23 aircore holes and 1 open hole. 3 of these holes will be converted into water monitoring holes. Results of the drilling are anticipated by the end of the quarter.
