Quest Critical Metals talks progress of EIS project

QUEST CRITICAL METALS PROVIDES UPDATE ON EU HORIZON FUNDED EXPLORATION INFORMATION SYSTEMS (EIS) PROJECT

Quest Critical Metals Inc. has provided an update to its shareholders on the latest progress of the European Union Horizon-financed exploration information systems (EIS) project, which it participates through its wholly owned Czech subsidiary, Golden Pet SRO. Quest Critical Metals' property, Klingenthal/Tisova, straddles the German/Czech border with approximately 70 square kilometres in each country.

The EU Horizon 7.5-million-euro-funded EIS project aims to enhance Europe's self-sufficiency in critical raw materials (CRM). The project is focused on developing advanced exploration concepts and data tools to aid mineral exploration and reduces its impact on nature, making exploration more sustainable. The EIS project also aims to raise awareness of the importance of critical raw materials and the challenges of exploring for them in the EU.

James Newall, chief executive officer of Quest Critical Metals, commented: "To have such a wealth of geological and geophysical experience analyzing our Klingenthal/Tisova project, all funded by the EU, is an incredible privilege. Not only do they bring their own insights, but their approval of our current geological interpretation is very reassuring. In addition, our inclusion as the case study for one of the three key themes of the EIS awareness campaign will bring our story to a far wider audience than we could ever reach ourselves.

"Taken in combination with our recent acquisition of licences, prospective for lithium, in Brazil's Lithium Valley and our successful exploration campaign and resource at East Bull, this is an exciting time for both management and shareholders."

Key highlights:

  • EU funding boost: Quest Critical Metals has now received three tranches of EU grant funding.
  • Top European collaboration: During this process the company has benefited from some of the leading geologist and geophysicists in Europe looking in detail at the project. For example, the work of Prof. Jiri Zacharias of Charles University, Prague, on the evolution of the orebody at Tisova and its cobalt-bearing phases.
  • Data contribution: The company's data have been used to help create the volcanogenic massive sulphide identifying model.
  • Tisova project advancement: The EIS project is moving into its testing phase in 2024 and Klingenthal/Tisova is the only test site where drilling is planned, both in Germany and Czech.

EIS project awareness campaign -- raising awareness of the importance of critical minerals:

  • Objective: Raising awareness of the importance of critical minerals and the challenges of exploring for them in the EU (using Golden Pet, Quest's wholly owned subsidiary, as a case study).
  • Engagement: Governments, corporations (including end-users) and stakeholders targeted, with a culmination at the EU Raw Minerals Week in November, 2024, in Brussels.
  • Workshop: A dedicated workshop at PDAC 2024, led by EIS project partners. Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) is the annual convention that hosts the world's premier mineral exploration and mining companies in Toronto, Canada.

Note

Quest Critical Metals' Klingenthal/Tisova property, of just over 140 square km, is split equally between Germany and the Czech Republic in the Erzgebirge mountain range. The project is in the state of Saxony on the German side and the Sokolov district on the Czech side. On the German side the project is managed by the renowned Beak Consultants, which is based in Freiberg, and which arranged the EIS's second project meeting in Dresden in November, 2022. At this meeting Quest Critical Metals' CEO, Mr. Newall, was able to meet key figures in the German raw materials sector, including the mining Oberberghauptmann of Saxony and the Akademischer Oberrat from the Deutsche Rohstoff Agentur.

We seek Safe Harbor.
