Geophysical survey reveals two new exploration targets. Defense Metals completed a ground radiometric geophysical survey over the Wicheeda rare earth element (REE) deposit and identified new anomalies that may represent rare earth element mineralized carbonatite within the current mineral resource pit shells defined in the 2021 preliminary economic assessment (PEA). Two previously unknown anomalies were identified, each approximately 40 meters in width and extending approximately 250 meters northwest from the main body of the Wicheeda REE deposit. The survey further defined the surface extent of outcropping REE mineralization. 

New targets offer resource expansion potential. The two anomalies are under cover and have a similar geophysical expression to known drilled and outcropping rare earth mineralization. Recall Hole WI21-39 intersected relatively higher-grade carbonatite at depth returning 2.91% total rare earth oxide (TREO) over 45 meters from a depth of 69 meters downhole that is believed to represent the downdip projection of the eastern anomaly.
