The results identify an overall increase in grades which may have a positive impact on the future planned remodelling and resource estimation process.\nHighlights:\n· As part of the ongoing re-logging campaign at Redmoor, a review process was undertaken on recent assay results. As a result, it was identified as prudent to reduce the analytical cutoff grade utilised to select samples for x-ray fluorescence (\"XRF\"), rather than Inductively Coupled Plasma (\"ICP\"), analysis down from 0.5% tungsten trioxide (\"WO₃\") to 0.3% WO₃ for higher levels of analytical accuracy.\n· A review of tungsten-bearing samples from CRL's 2017-2018 exploration drilling campaigns identified 73 samples which reported WO₃ grades by ICP analyses between 0.3 - 0.5% along with several samples which reported >0.5%, which had not been submitted for the more appropriate XRF analysis. These samples were subsequently re-analysed using XRF analysis at ALS Laboratories, Loughrea.\n· Results identified an overall increase in WO₃ grades in most of the analysed samples, with 36 samples returning a greater than 5% increase in WO₃ grade, including 20 samples returning a greater than 10% increase in WO₃ grade.\n· The average increase in grade from the 73 analysed samples is 9.2%.
