  • This significant and strategic off-take agreement grants REalloys 15.0% from the Company’s Tanbreez production of Heavy & Medium Rare Earth Elements from Southern Greenland
  • REalloys is a vertically integrated producer of magnet materials and magnets for high-performance “U.S. Protected Markets,” including the U.S. National Defense Stockpile (NDS), Defense Industrial Base (DIB), Nuclear Industrial Base (NIB), robotics, electric aviation, and critical infrastructure industries, as well as allied nations with defense treaties, alliances, and agreements. REalloys is a private company completing an S-4 Merger to go public on the NASDAQ under the ticker BLBX

NEW YORK, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (“Critical Metals Corp” or the “Company”), a leading critical minerals mining company, today announced it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for an offtake agreement with REalloys Inc. (“REalloys”), a private company currently completing an S-4 merger to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker BLBX.

REalloys is one of the only U.S. companies with integrated midstream and downstream rare earth capabilities, uniquely positioned to advance the processing and refining of heavy and exotic rare earth feedstock into high-performance alloys and magnet materials without any exposure to Chinese supply chains. The company is expanding its facilities to boost production of rare earth metals and magnets, supporting North American and allied demand.

REalloys’ Euclid, Ohio facility supplies advanced rare earth metals and magnet materials to the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency and the DOE Ames National Laboratory, supporting critical defense, energy, and strategic manufacturing initiatives central to U.S. national security.

Under the terms of the multi-year offtake arrangement, Critical Metals expects to supply up to 6,750,000 metric tons of rare earth concentrate from its Tanbreez Project, representing approximately 15.0% of the project’s projected production.

“The Tanbreez project presents a remarkable opportunity for REalloys, given its rich, long-life deposits of heavy rare earth elements—vital to the defense industrial base of the United States and our allied nations,” said Leonard Sternheim, Chairman of REalloys. “REalloys and Critical Metals Corp share a common commitment to reducing China’s dominance in the global rare earth supply chain.”

“Tanbreez stands as one of the most strategically important rare earth assets globally, thanks to its scale and composition,” said Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp. “This offtake agreement marks another key step into the U.S. market and sets the stage for expanded supply across American processing networks. Our partnership with REalloys underscores a shared commitment to building a resilient, fully independent domestic supply chain—one that reduces reliance on China and strengthens North America’s industrial future. Together with the recent off-take agreement signed with Ucore, this takes the total to 25% of the total production of the Tanbreez project for US customers.”

Next Steps
The parties have executed a Letter of Intent and are working expeditiously toward definitive documentation. Execution of final agreements remains subject to customary conditions, including completion of due diligence, finalization of commercial terms, and necessary approvals.
