Defense Metals Corp. confirms high-grade TREO mineralization following the completion of 1,702 metres of core drilling, bolstering the resource profile of its flagship project.
Defense Metals Corp. has released positive assay results from its spring 2026 drilling program at the Wicheeda Rare Earth Element Project, confirming high-grade Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) mineralization. These results, covering 1,702 metres across ten core holes, provide critical data that will likely support an upgrade to the project's mineral resource estimate. The consistent intersection of high-grade material underscores the project's potential for long-term economic viability.
The program consisted of ten core drill holes totaling 1,702 metres.
The results confirm high-grade TREO mineralization, which is expected to facilitate an upgrade to the company's mineral resource estimate.
