Defense Metals Corp. is an advanced rare earth elements development company focused on supplying strategically critical metals to Western defense, high-technology, and clean energy supply chains. Its primary asset is the 100%-owned Wicheeda REE deposit near Prince George, British Columbia, one of the most advanced undeveloped rare earth deposits in North America or Europe. The project is supported by a mineral resource and mining reserve outlined in the Company’s 2025 NI 43-101 Pre-Feasibility Study, which indicates economic potential and supports further development.
