North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. has reported initial assay results from the Seigneurie system. The SGN-2026-007 hole returned 528 ppm heavy rare earth oxide over 32.20 metres, confirming mineralization but noting that economic interest is yet to be determined.
Defense Metals has commenced a pilot flotation test program at SGS Lakefield for its Wicheeda Rare Earth Project. The program aims to produce a high-grade rare earth concentrate (approx. 50% TREO) to support downstream hydrometallurgical testing and engineering studies.
Defense Metals provided an update on the Wicheeda Rare Earth Project, noting that current NdPr prices validate the project's Preliminary Feasibility Study economics. The company is accelerating activities including pilot metallurgical studies, environmental baseline programs, and new drilling to support an upcoming Feasibility Study.
