Vancouver, British Columbia – July 10, 2024 (Investorideas.com
Newswire) Defense Metals Corp. ("Defense Metals" or the
"Company") (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ FSE: 35D) is pleased to confirm support from the
Government of British Columbia in the development of its wholly owned Wicheeda
Rare Earth Element Project.
“Rare earth
elements play a crucial role in green technologies like wind turbines and
electric vehicle motors, and projects such as Wicheeda are integral to BC’s
critical minerals strategy and the world’s energy transition,” said Josie
Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation. “The BC Critical
Minerals Office will bring significant benefits to the Wicheeda Project and
others like it by providing a ‘concierge-like’ service with dedicated support
to navigate regulatory processes, advance funding opportunities, and expedite
solutions to issues.”
Craig Taylor,
CEO of Defense Metals commented, “This crucial support from the provincial
government is very significant and most welcome as it will enable the
development of our Wicheeda rare earth deposit by mitigating regulatory and
permitting delays. This, combined with the solid technical progress we have
achieved, including extensive metallurgical pilot testing and evaluation of
samples by potential third-party off-takers, reinforcing our confidence that we
are on track to meet our objective of commencing production in 2029.”
Guy de
Selliers, Chairman of the Board of Defense Metals emphasised, “These positive
developments strengthen my belief that Defense Metals will become the first new
significant North American producer of NdPr, two of the most essential rare
earth elements.”
