Critical Elements Selected for Summit Prospectus
Critical Elements Lithium Corporation (TSX-V: CRE) (OTCQX: CRECF) announced its selection for inclusion in the official prospectus for the Canada Investment Summit on September 11, 2026 [1]. This selection places the company’s flagship Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project directly in front of leading international institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds [1]. The announcement highlights the project’s strategic importance as demand for critical minerals grows to support global supply chains and the energy transition [1]. Inclusion in the government-backed summit prospectus provides elevated visibility for the Canadian developer as it seeks strategic commercial partners and project financing [1].
Project Economics and Scale
The Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project is located in Québec and spans over 1,016 km² [1]. A Feasibility Study announced on August 29, 2023, estimates an after-tax internal rate of return of 65.7% [1]. The same study projects an after-tax net present value of US$2.2 billion at an 8% discount rate [1]. These metrics underscore the economic viability of the development as it moves toward potential production phases [2]. The company maintains 100% ownership of the project territory [2].
Global Investment Targets
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit is hosted by Prime Minister Mark Carney in partnership with CPP Investments and PSP Investments [1]. The event aims to attract approximately US$1 trillion in new investment over the next five years [1].

The summit prospectus lists 167 projects, including mines, data centres, and digital technology, that are looking for backers [3]. These projects represent over US$425 billion in total capital expenditures [3].
