The agreement provides CRML with exclusive access to one of the largest known G7 & EU-origin secured stockpiles of a fully compliant, highly sought after, traceable supply chain and ultra-high-purity (UHP) copper powder, a material so essential to many of the same advanced military applications both classified and unclassified technologies that rely on critical metals and rare earth elements.
