DEFENSE METALS, TUI, EVERFUEL - THESE ARE THE NEW STARS!

 

DRAMATIC DEVELOPMENT

These scarce raw materials are "rare earth metals." Permanent magnets for electric motors, for example, are produced based on "rare earth metals" - REM. Smartphones, monitors and even wind turbines contain dysprosium, neodymium, germanium or gallium. REMs play a decisive role in the production of weapons. For example, the US Air Force's most modern combat aircraft, the F-35, requires about 1,000 pounds of rare earth metals, most of which are currently sourced from China.

 

CHINA ON THE MOVE

The US is also dependent on China for REMs, needed for laser-guided missiles, other advanced weapon systems and space satellites. And here is the problem, currently 80% of rare earths are produced in China, a quasi-monopoly. Due to the trade dispute with the US, this can lead to enormous supply bottlenecks in the Western world. As early as 2017, outgoing President Trump tried to free the US from its dependence on China for rare earth metals by issuing an Executive Order. This Executive Order was followed with a statement by the President in early October declaring a national state of emergency in the mining sector to set up a US domestic REM storage facility for military requirements.

 

ALTERNATIVE FROM CANADA

The Canadian mineral explorer Defense Metals has its finger on the pulse here. Founded in 2016, the Company focuses on the acquisition of mineral deposits containing metals and elements used in the production of renewable energy technologies, such as rare earth magnets. The main focus is on the Wicheeda project in the province of British Columbia.

 

SUCCESSFUL PLACEMENT

By the end of October, the Canadians were able to complete a private placement of 2,525,000 units for gross proceeds of CAD 505,000. Last week, the private placement of 800,000 shares was announced, which puts another CAD 200,000 in the pockets of Defense Metals. Defense Metals' CEO, Craig Taylor, commented on the use of the funds: "The previously closed 25-cent-per-share private placement financing will be used to conduct additional fill-in hydrometallurgical test work with the objective of capitalizing on opportunities that have been identified to optimize and improve on our already exceptional hydromet recoveries. As previously disclosed, we intend to complete the preliminary economic assessment by the end of the Q1 2021." The market capitalization of the Company is currently CAD 11.24. A bet on the future!**
