Defense Metals Resource Upgrade Drilling Intersects 2.33% TREO over 153 Metres at the Wicheeda Rare Earth Project
Defense Metals announced assay results for the final ten core drill holes from its spring 2026 resource upgrade program at the Wicheeda Rare Earth Project in British Columbia, Canada. The drilling successfully intersected significant widths of high to moderate grade rare earth element mineralization, with the highest grade-width intercept from hole WI26-104 (2.33% TREO over 153.2 metres) exceeding previous best results. These results are expected to contribute positively to upgrading inferred resources to an indicated or better category within the current pit confines.
