About Namibia Critical Metals Inc.
Namibia Critical Metals Inc. holds a diversified portfolio of exploration and advanced stage
projects in the country of Namibia focused on the development of sustainable and ethical
sources of metals for the battery, electric vehicle and associated industries. The two advanced
stage projects in the portfolio are Lofdal and Epembe (described below). The Company also
has significant land positions in areas favourable for gold mineralization.
Heavy Rare Earths: The Lofdal Heavy Rare Earth Project is the Compa ny’s most
advanced project having completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2014 and full
Environmental Impact Assessment in 2017. An application has been made for a mining licence
at Lofdal. The project is now in joint venture with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National
Corporation (“JOGMEC”) who are funding the current $3,000,000 drilling and metallurgical
program with the objective of doubling the resource size and optimization of the process flow
sheet.
Gold: At the Erongo Gold Project , stratigraphic equivalents to the sediments hosting the
recent Osino gold discovery at Twin Hills have been identified but not yet sampled. Soil
surveys are progressing over this highly prospective area.
Tantalum-Niobium: In addition to Lofdal, the Epembe Tantalum-Niobium Project is also
at an advanced stage with a well -defined, 10 km long carbonatite dyke that has been
delineated by detailed mapping with over 11,000 meters of drilling. Preliminary mineralogical
and metallurgical studies including sorting tests (XRT), ind icate the potential for significant
physical upgrading. Further work will be undertaken to advance the project to a preliminary
economic assessment stage.

Copper-Cobalt: The Kunene Copper -Cobalt Project comprises a very large area of
favorable stratigraphy (“the DOF”) along strike to the west of the Opuwo cobalt -copper-zinc
deposit. Secondary copper mineralization over a wide area points to preliminary evidence of
a regional-scale hydrothermal system. Exploration targets on EPLs held in the Kunene project
comprise direct extensions of the DOF style mineralization to the west, sediment -hosted
cobalt and copper, orogenic copper, and stratabound manganese and zinc -lead
mineralization.
Earlier stage projects include the Grootfontein Base Metal and Gold Project which has
potential for magmatic copper -nickel mineralization, Mississippi Valley -type zinc -lead-
vanadium mineralization and Otjikoto -style gold mineralization. Detailed interpretation of
geophysical dat a and regional geochemical soil sampling surveys are under way. The
Otjitanga Light Rare Earth Project is situated within the company’s Kunene exploration
area and hosts a new discovery of neodymium -rich carbonatite veins which is in the early
stages of exploration.
The common shares of Namibia Critical Metals Inc. trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under
the symbol “NMI”.
