Quantum Critical Metals Corp. (TSXV: LEAP; OTCQB: ATOXF) is a Canadian exploration company focused on rubidium, gallium, cesium and silver. Its flagship NMX East project in Quebec hosts real rubidium-gallium-cesium mineralization; in May 2026 the company initiated advanced metallurgical test work with the University of British Columbia to evaluate a hydrometallurgical flowsheet for rubidium recovery (with gallium/lithium co-recovery also under assessment).
Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Quebec: Fraser PPI 2025 is 79.39 of 100 (rank 23 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. The flagship NMX East project is in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, a Tier-1 Canadian jurisdiction; its earlier-stage Babine South project is in British Columbia.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at NMX East Gallium-Rubidium-Cesium Project, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada (checked Oct 2, 2026; recheck due Mar 31, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
Stage: Grassroots Exploration
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
Quantum Critical Metals explores for rubidium, gallium, cesium and silver in Canada. Its flagship NMX East project in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region hosts rubidium-gallium-cesium mineralisation, and in May 2026 it began metallurgical testwork with the University of British Columbia on a hydrometallurgical flowsheet for recovering rubidium, with gallium and lithium co-recovery also being assessed. In September 2026 mineral mapping of historical samples from its wholly owned Discovery property, also in Quebec, showed that gallium and rubidium there are hosted mainly in mica, as at NMX East. At the Babine South property in British Columbia, surface sampling returned up to 9,580 g/t silver, confirmed by re-assay, and 2026 work has focused on refining drill targets. No NI 43-101 resource has been estimated on any of its properties.
