Strategic Moves in New Zealand

CRR has secured gold and antimony assets in New Zealand through two binding agreements, targeting the Otago and Reefton regions — areas with a rich history of gold production. The flagship Cap Burn gold project is positioned near a major historic mine, suggesting strong geological continuity. Permit transfers for these projects are anticipated soon, with initial drilling scheduled later in the year. Additional prospecting licences are also under review, signaling a growing portfolio in the region.

Progress in Canada and Australia

In Canada, CRR continues with exploration at its Mavis Lake lithium project. The project plays a role in the evolving lithium supply chain in North America, with several intersections found outside the existing resource area. Meanwhile, in New South Wales, the company is active at its Halls Peak project. Here, rock chip sampling and soil geochemistry work have been completed, and drilling is expected to commence once regulatory approvals are granted.

Looking Ahead to Dual Drilling Fronts

CRR is preparing to run two drilling programs in parallel by the end of the year—one in New Zealand and one in Australia. The upcoming drilling work aligns with the company’s focus on building a pipeline of exploration-ready targets across regions. These activities mark an ongoing strategy to unlock value from diverse mineral assets.
