2016-07-06 Critical Elements (TSXV: CRE) and Natan (TSXV: NRL) to explore Duval lithium property in Quebec

July 6, 2016 - Montreal, Quebec - Critical Elements Corporation ('Critical Elements' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: CRE) (US OTCQX: CRECF) (FSE: F12) and Natan Resources Ltd ('Natan') (TSX-V: NRL) are pleased to announce that Critical Elements and Natan have entered into an option agreement ('Agreement') that gives Natan the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Duval project, located south-west of and contiguous to the Nemaska Lithium Whabouchi Deposit.

'The Duval project represents a great opportunity for Natan Resources, Critical Elements and the shareholders of both entities. The hard work of companies such as Critical Elements and Nemaska Lithium have unveiled the potential of the Lac des Montagnes volcano-sedimentary belt as one of the most important spodumene lithium hard rock deposit in the world, both in volume and grade.', stated Michael Blady, CEO of Natan. 'This acquisition has given Natan a great address, adjacent to Nemaska's Whabouchi property, which is considered by many the premier spodumene lithium deposit in North America. We are excited to confirm the great potential of this property and will be worKing swiftly and diligently to plan and execute a program this summer.'

'This option agreement with Natan will allow the Duval property to be explored in detail for a Lithium Pegmatite discovery. Critical Elements is currently focused on the development of its Rose lithium-Tantalum project. With Natan farming into the Duval project, shareholders of both companies will be able to benefit from successful exploration of a highly prospective project,' stated Jean-Sébastien Lavallée, President and CEO, Critical Elements.

The Duval property is comprised of two blocks totaling 46 claims, with a total area of 2,458.92 hectares covering a distance of approximately 7 kilometres along a SW-NE axis. It lies two kilometres south of the Route du Nord and is served by a Hydro Quebec power line and a gravel road, which cross the southern half of the block in a southeasterly direction. The Duval main block can be accessed by the road leading to Lac des Montagnes and then by boat. An old winter road along the SE shore of Lac des Montagnes has been refurbished and can be used for winter drilling on the main block.

The property covers a large part of the regional volcano-metasedimentary unit, known to be the host for Nemaska Lithium's Wabouchi deposit and the Lemarre showings. The presence of this favorable lithology within the Company's claims and being along strike from Nemaska's successful exploration, increases the potential for the discovery of similar significant mineralization.

Under the Agreement, Natan will earn its interest in Duval by way of a farm-in arrangement. The key terms of the Agreement are detailed below:

Duval Property

The Duval property is located within the Opinaca Sub-province in Quebec, characterized by metagraywacke, migmatite, and granite. Polydeformed schists occur at the belt margins, whereas the interior portions are metamorphosed to amphibolite and granulite facies. Mineral occurrences within the Opinaca sub-province include rare metals within the peraluminous granites and associated pegmatites.

The property area is underlain by two dominant rock types: biotitic paragneisses belonging to the North-East-trending Lac des Montagnes metasedimentary belt, and granitoids/orthogneisses of the Champion Lake and Opatica North-East domains. The Lac des Montagnes belt is up to 8 kilometres wide and its northern boundary passes diagonally through the approximate centre of the property. Granitic and pegmatitic bodies of variable sizes and IRregular shapes have been reported to intrude the metasedimentary belt and may account for up to 20% of the area by volume.

A 2012 Technical Report on the Valiquette Property, which includes the Duval claims, was completed by InnovExplo for Monarques Resources according to Regulation 43' 101 and Form 43'101F1.

Jean-Sébastien Lavallée (OGQ #773), geologist, shareholder and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this release.

About Critical Elements Corporation

A recent financial analysis (Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Rose lithium-Tantalum Project, Genivar, December 2011) of the Rose project based on price forecasts of US$260/kg ($118/lb) for TaO contained in a tantalite concentrate and US$6,000/t for lithium carbonate (LiCO) showed an estimated after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 25% for the Rose project, with an estimated Net Present Value (NPV) of CA$279 million at an 8% discount rate. The payback period is estimated at 4.1 years. The pre-tax IRR is estimated at 33% and the NPV at $488 million at a discount rate of 8%. (Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability). (The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature). (See press release dated November 21, 2011.)

The conclusions of the PEA indicate the operation would support a production rate of 26,606 tons of high purity (99.9% battery grade) LiCO and 206,670 pounds of TaO per year over a 17-year mine life.

The project hosts a current Indicated resource of 26.5 million tonnes of 1.30% LIO Eq. or 0.98% LIO and 163 ppm TaO and an Inferred resource of 10.7 million tonnes of 1.14% LIO Eq. or 0.86% LIO and 145 ppm TaO.
