Craig
Taylor, CEO comments:
"Mr.
Spratt brings a wealth of corporate finance, capital markets, and M&A
experience to bear on Defense Metals efforts to advance the Wicheeda REE
Deposit. We look forward to Mr. Spratt's contributions in light of sustained
upward price pressures on critical magnet metals, principally neodymium and
praseodymium. Over the past six months we have seen an 80% increase in
neodymium oxide spot prices from approximately USD$40/kg in early June to most
recently USD$72/kg as of December 1, 20201. Defense Metals believes these price
increases represent real future demand trends triggered as a result of the
beginning of a fundamental shift towards the green energy-electric vehicle
sector"
