The company is assessing multiple funding and financing pathways, including opportunities with the US Department of War, to support technical advancement and minimize reliance on shareholder capital. Reasoning: The company is advancing a strategic funding and engagement plan with US government entities to de-risk and accelerate the Nevada Scheelite project, leveraging geopolitical tailwinds. - Positive factor: Strategic engagement with US Government agencies \(DoW, Dept of Commerce\) for funding - Positive factor: Favorable regulatory tailwinds from upcoming US defence procurement restrictions on non-allied tungsten - Positive factor: Brownfields asset with existing underground infrastructure and extensive historical data - Positive factor: Strategic advisor GreenMet actively engaging stakeholders - Negative factor: Project is at an early stage with no Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimated - Negative factor: Funding pathways are still under assessment and not yet secured Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company positions the project's value based on its strategic location in Nevada and its role in the US domestic supply chain. Evidence · text > location in Nevada provide a strong strategic basis for these discussions **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The historical tungsten intercepts are reported without true width or drill orientation. Evidence · text > These are unverified historical results, true widths are unknown ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/pec-perpetual-greenmet-advance-us-government-funding-strategy--09dd0423-6d9f-4df1-b8c3-f981fd6bafaa#fact-drill-facts-0) Nevada Scheelite · tungsten Historical result Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Nevada Scheelite - Commodity: tungsten - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: usa\_nv - Ticker: PEC #### Geometry - Grade: 1.95 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 7.01 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: drill\_no\_hole\_id - Interp.
