Critica Limited is transitioning from an explorer to a developer by advancing scoping studies for its flagship assets. 

Initially, the company initiated a scoping study for the Mt Lindsay tin-tungsten project in Tasmania. This study evaluates an integrated underground mining concept designed to minimize surface disturbance and utilize hydroelectric power for lower-emission electrification. The reassessment is motivated by strengthening markets for tin and tungsten, particularly as tungsten gains strategic importance for global technology and defense supply chains.

To support these efforts, Critica appointed Mike Kevan, a minerals engineer, as interim study manager. This appointment aims to advance parallel scoping studies for both the Mt Lindsay project and the Jupiter rare earths project in Western Australia. The company is also seeking a permanent general manager for its projects.
