Namibia Critical Metals Inc. announced the commencement of the final phase of drilling for its Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the "Lofdal 2B-4" heavy rare earth project. The final drill phase entails seven very deep reverse circulation (RC) boreholes for a total of 2,505 m in the Area 4 main deposit. The drill program is expected to be completed by early December 2023.

The holes were originally planned as a separate diamond core (DC) drilling campaign. However, RC infill drilling earlier this year has proven to produce qualitatively equal data while costs and time can be reduced significantly. While five boreholes represent infill boreholes in the deeper part of the central Area 4 deposit, two of the boreholes aim at the same time at resource expansion at the newly established mineralized zone in the western part of the Area 4 deposit.
