"Defense Metals Corp.'s 2023 mineral resource estimate for Wicheeda represents an 18.2% increase in total rare earth oxide (TREO) and a 31.3% in tonnage compared to the 2021 mineral resource estimate. Total Measured & Indicated mineral resources of 34.2 Mt averaging 2.02% TREO is a significant upgrade compared to the previous estimate."

"By and large, the mineral resource update for the Wicheeda rare earth element project is good for Defense Metals Corp. A significant amount of the Inferred material is already included in the conceptual open pit and would be mined at some point in time."

"Defense Metals Corp. completed a ground radiometric geophysical survey over the Wicheeda rare earth element (REE) deposit and identified new anomalies that may represent REE mineralized carbonatite within the current mineral resource pit shells defined in the 2021 preliminary economic assessment. Two previously unknown anomalies were identified, each approximately 40m in width and extending approximately 250m northwest from the main body of the Wicheeda REE deposit."

"Defense Metals Corp. looks even more attractive and more of a Buy here than ever. . .the prominent high volume reversal candle on Aug. 21, 2023 and subsequent light volume are a sign that an advance is incubating."

"Defense Metals Corp. is advancing toward what we believe will be a compelling preliminary feasibility study. In addition to significant potential to expand the resource and extend the mine life, we expect grade enhancement and the meaningful conversion of Inferred to Indicated and, potentially, Measured resources."
