15 Jan 2026drilling result▲ GoodMajor
First 2025 Tanbreez assays from the Fjord and Upper Fjord areas show 0.40% to 0.47% rare earths with about 26-27% heavy rare earths. Mineralisation extends at least 1 km northeast from hole K-24 and stays open, supporting the planned resource upgrade.
13 Jan 2026asset acquisition disposition▲ Good
CRML ordered a roughly US$1 million mobile assay laboratory for Tanbreez that gives full rare earth results in about 80 minutes, to cut delays seen with off-site labs. Operation in Greenland needs government approvals.
9 Jan 2026contract award▲ Good
CRML approved construction of a multi-use storage and pilot-plant facility in Qaqortoq, Greenland, under a turnkey contract awarded to 60° North Greenland. It follows the pilot plant purchase in December and moves Tanbreez toward pilot operations.

10 Dec 2025joint venture update▲ GoodMajor
CRML signed a term sheet for a 50/50 joint venture with Romania's state-owned FPCU, taking total Tanbreez concentrate offtake to 75% of future production. This is a non-binding-stage term sheet (inference), so definitive terms are still to come.
9 Dec 2025other● Neutral
ASX paused trading in EUR shares pending a further announcement. No reason is given in the notice.
1 Dec 2025capital raising announcement● Neutral
Prospectus for the replacement options offer, now only up to 4,650,283 new options at A$0.002 (about A$9,300), exercisable at A$0.08 to 31 Dec 2026. Directors fully underwrite it. Far smaller than the original 200M+ options plan.
19 Nov 2025other● Neutral
Routine prospectus for a 1,000-share cleansing offer at A$0.20 and 6.1M EUROC options to advisors. It does not raise meaningful money; it is housekeeping for securities issues.
18 Nov 2025capital raising announcement▲ Good
Only 4,650,283 EURO options went unexercised and expired on 14 November, so the underwriter takes that many shares at A$0.08 (about A$372,000). Nearly all other options were exercised, which is far fewer than the expected shortfall.
12 Nov 2025capital raising announcement▲ Good
EUR signed an underwriting deal with Evolution Capital to take up any EURO options unexercised at expiry on 14 November, for a A$1 fee. 35,078,124 options remained, worth up to A$2.8M at A$0.08. Replacement options still need AGM approval.
31 Oct 2025quarterly activities report▲ Good
September quarter report: 1M CRML shares sold for A$5.2M, and a further 9.88M CRML shares sold after quarter end for about A$183M. EUR cash is about A$195.5M. EUR also announced an on-market buy-back.
22 Oct 2025regulatory community update● Neutral
EUR answered an ASX query about CRML's US$500M bitcoin note. It says the deal's conditions were never met (CRML price never reached US$6), it expired, and no bitcoin was bought. This resolves the January 2025 bitcoin treasury thread.
20 Oct 2025security holder rights change● Neutral

16 Oct 2025other● Neutral
