CRML Acquires Major Copper Powder Stockpile in $20M Deal
On Nov 21, 2025, Critical Metals Corp (CRML) acquired 40 kg of 99.96% ultra-high-purity copper powder from a European family office via a $20M all-share deal, issuing 2 million shares at $10 each, a 40% premium. The G7/EU-origin stockpile targets defense, aerospace, energy, and semiconductor customers, securing a traceable supply chain. The material is valued at $1,500–$2,500 per gram. The transaction provides CRML with access to a scarce material but dilutes shareholder equity through the share issuance.
