Stillwater Critical Minerals Mobilizes Drill Rigs to Stillwater West Critical
Minerals Project in Montana, USA
June 18, 2025 – Vancouver, BC – Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF)(FSE:J0G),
(the " Company" or " Stillwater") is pleased to announce that Energold Drilling has been retained to
commence work at its flagship Stillwater West Ni -PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana, USA, and is
currently mobilizing rigs to site. The 2025 program will focus on the expansion of drill-defined mid to high-
grade polymetallic sulphide mineralization in the most advanced project areas while also testing adjacent
priority targets identified in the updated geologic model announced by the Company on March 26, 2025.
The upcoming drill campaign follows the successful completion of the property-wide MobileMT magneto-
telluric geophysical survey in 2024, which identified multiple multi -kilometer-scale conductive highs and
resistivity lows coincident with known mineralizat ion and mineralized horizons. Results have provided a
transformative view of the mineralized system across the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex and doubled
the extent of Stillwater's 3D geological model from 9.5 kilometers to over 20 kilometers.
The 2025 drill program is being advanced in collaboration with Glencore plc through the Stillwater West
Technical Committee , alongside technical partners ALS GoldSpot leveraging artificial intelligence and
machine learning to refine targeting across the property.
"The 2024 geophysical survey has transformed our understanding of the Stillwater West project,"
commented Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice -President Exploration. "The identification of multiple large -scale
conductive targets in and around known mineralization provides us with a robust pipeline of high-quality
drill targets for expansion of our current resources. The 2025 campaign represents a significant step
forward as we continue to unlock the full potential of what we believe is one of America's most important
critical mineral districts."
Michael Rowley, Stillwater President and CEO, added "We are excited to ramp up to our 2025 field season
as we look to apply our updated geologic model to the expansion of critical minerals supply from an iconic
American mining district. The Company is well positioned to bring the robust economics of the large,
polymetallic sulphide mines of the Platreef district in South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex to the
parallel geological setting of the Stillwater Igneous Complex in the United States. We look forwa rd to
providing updates on our 2025 campaign and government initiatives in the near term, in addition to
updates from our non-core assets."

Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE | OTCQB: PGEZF | FSE: J0G) is a resource-stage mineral exploration
company focused on its flagship Stillwater West Ni -PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in the iconic and famously
productive Stillwater mining district in Montana, USA. With the addition of two renowned Bushveld and
Platreef geologists to the team and strategic investments by Glencore plc, the Company is well positioned
to advance the next phase of large -scale critical mineral supply from this world -class American district,
building on past production of nickel, copper, and chromium, and the on -going production of platinum
group, nickel, and other metals by neighboring Sibanye Stillwater. An expanded NI 43 -101 mineral
resource estimate, released January 2023, posit ions Stillwater West with the largest nickel -platinum
group element resource in an active U.S. mining district as part of a compelling suite of ten minerals now
listed as critical in the USA.

Stillwater also holds a 49% interest in the high-grade Drayton-Black Lake gold project adjacent to NexGold
Mining's development -stage Goliath Gold Complex in northwest Ontario, currently under an earn -in
agreement with Heritage Mining, and the Kluane PGE -Ni-Cu-Co critical minerals project on trend with
Nickel Creek Platinum‘s Wellgreen deposit in Canada‘s Yukon Territory. The Company also holds the Duke
Island Cu -Ni-PGE property in Alaska and maintains a back -in right on the high -grade past -producing
Yankee-Dundee in BC.
