"Defense Metals Corp. has commenced construction of a hydrometallurgical pilot plant which is expected to be commissioned in March 2023. . .the pilot plant is being configured to produce a high-purity rare earth precipitate suitable as feedstock for a rare earth elements separation plant."

Mark Reichman, Noble Capital Markets

"Defense Metals Corp.'s recent results were from two exploration geotechnical core drill holes, one of which returned the best drill intercept, on a grade times width basis, of the entire 2022 drilling program. . .hole WI22-79 intersected an upper high-grade interval from surface assaying 3.66% total rare earth oxides (TREOs) over 138m and a lower interval grading 0.50% TREO over 43m."

"Data from Defense Metals Corp.'s 2021 and 2022 drilling programs will be incorporated into a preliminary feasibility study, which is expected to be completed by Q4/23. In addition to significant potential to expand the resource and extend the mine life beyond 19 years, we expect grade enhancement and the meaningful conversion of Inferred to Indicated and potentially Measured resources."

"Defense Metals Corp. announced a private placement, expected to close on or around Nov. 30, to raise gross proceeds of up to CA$6M to advance its wholly owned Wicheeda rare earth elements (REEs) project. . .the 2022 Wicheeda deposit resource infill drilling continues to yield high-grade REE intercepts from surface exceeding 3% total rare earth oxides."

"Defense Metals Corp. completed resource delineation and pit geotechnical diamond drilling at Wicheeda for the 2022 exploration season. . .results to date from the 2022 drilling season have been outstanding and are expected to contribute greatly toward upgrading resource categories in support of the preliminary feasibility study."

Mark Reichman, Noble Capital Markets

(10/18/22)
"Approximately 70 flotation tests on samples of differing lithologies from Defense Metals Corp.'s Wicheeda deposit have been performed. Results have confirmed that conventional flotation from a range of lithologies and grades can produce high grade rare earths mineral concentrate at high recovery rates. . .high grade mineral concentrate containing more than 40% total rare earths oxides (TREO) at a recovery rate exceeding 80% has been produced from all fully tested dolomite carbonatite samples and a master composite containing all lithologies from material with a head grade of greater than 2% TREO."
