Critical resources, an ASX listed mining junior, has transformed from a traditional explorer into a diversified player in the energy transition. The company now holds a triple threat portfolio with next-generation battery technology in the United States, large-scale lithium in Canada, and high-grade gold in New Zealand. Here this year, critical security 12-month option with the South Dakota School of Mines to develop its amorphous solid-state electrolyte. Weasen lab test showed impressive stability, lasting over 1,200 hours at room temperature with high conductivity of 3.2mm. Two melacy men's per centimeter. This breakthrough tackles key issues like dindry formation and solid-state batteries. Meanwhile, at the flagship Mavis-like lithium project in Ontario, the company boasts a resource of 8 million tons, grading 1.07%, percent lithium oxide, step-out drilling
hits strong results, including 74.4 meters at 1.18%, and other wide intercepts up to 1.81%. Exploration targets even bigger potential across the district. In New Zealand, critical controls nearly 2,000 square kilometers of gold prospects in the Otago and Reefden regions. Reesa reversed circulation drilling at Catburn near a major mine, targeted a 1 kilometer fault structure with assay results due soon. Other sites show promise for gold, antimony, and tungsten. With new leadership driving this strategy since last October, critical balance is high upside-tech with reliable minerals, setting up a busy 20, 26, with more drilling and battery trials ahead.
