Timing is everything in investment, and the stars are aligning perfectly for Defense Metals (DEFN.V; DFMTF.OTC).

Geopolitical and economic trends are driving demand for rare earth elements, just as Defense Metals is steadily advancing its world-class Wicheeda rare earths project toward production.

Dear Fellow Investor,

There’s a scramble going on for some of the world’s most critical metals.

Demand for rare earth elements — driven by two powerful macro trends — is creating an ideal investment window for those looking to capitalize on these trends.

Rare earths are critical to both the ongoing electric vehicle boom and many military applications that major economies (and particularly the U.S.) deem crucial for national defense.

It’s an environment tailor-made for Defense Metals (DEFN.V; DFMTF.OTC) and its Wicheeda rare earths project in British Columbia.

Located in an uber-safe mining jurisdiction, Wicheeda’s world class rare earth element (REE) resource is road-accessible and, as you’ll soon see, open to significant growth via the drill bit.

With China supplying fully 95% of the world’s REEs...U.S.-China tensions continuing to escalate...and the EV revolution taking hold the world over...Defense Metals unquestionably holds the right resource at the right time.

Macro Trend #1:
An EV Boom In Full Swing

That EV revolution is very real, with car companies expanding their lines of EVs at a rapid rate and U.S. EV brand leader Tesla seeing its cars popping up all over the nation’s roads.

The International Energy Agency projects that the EV market will grow from just over 10 million EVs on the road in 2020 to 145 million by 2030.

Why is that important for Defense Metals? Only this…

The permanent magnets that power these vehicles require rare earths for their production.

Even better, Wicheeda’s most valuable metals are neodymium and praseodymium — the two light rare earth elements that are key inputs for those permanent magnets.

The metals also have other commercial applications like medical imaging equipment, rechargeable batteries, wind energy and camera lens coatings.

Macro Trend # 2:
A Looming U.S.-China Cold War

Adding to the allure of this deposit is its location in British Columbia, which makes it a North American deposit that could capture the attention of the U.S., now that decreasing dependence on China has become a major foreign policy and economic goal.

The Senate just passed the Innovation and Competition Act on a bipartisan basis, demonstrating that politicians across the U.S. political spectrum see a looming Cold War with China.

And with key military applications like guidance systems, jamming devices and laser targeting absolutely dependent on REEs for their production, Wicheeda is likely going to be on the United States’ radar.

Given the tensions with China, the U.S. would almost certainly prefer to source its REEs from North America rather than the Middle Kingdom.

Road-Accessible BC Resource Positions Defense Metals For Leverage

As you can see from the map below, Wicheeda is completely road-accessible and near key mining infrastructure.

That’s a big advantage in a segment of mining where REE resources tend to reside in far-flung locales.

Importantly, the company has a resource that’s capable of generating strong recoveries, so much so that Defense Metals has already received evaluation sample requests from multiple potential offtake partners.

Wicheeda is also open to expansion via the drill bit — in fact, a resource definition and expansion program is set to begin soon.

The last time Defense drilled the project, it was able to use just 2,000 meters of drilling to dramatically increase the size of the project’s REE resources.

Management is enthused about this program’s potential to grow Wicheeda even more in the days ahead.

Catalysts Just Around The Corner

Timing is always a key question with any investment — and given the favorable macro environment and the near-term catalysts Defense Metals has on the horizon, the timing to build a position in the company could hardly be better.

Consider that in the next 12 months, Defense Metals is working to:

• Grow and increase the resource confidence of Wicheeda via drilling

• Put out an updated resource estimate for the project based on this work

• Produce a PEA on the project, so that analysts and investors will be able to quantify the economics of the deposit

• Continue to provide samples and advance discussions within potential offtake partners

It’s an impressive number of potential catalysts. Together, they make Defense Metals one of the very few REE plays that’s actively advancing a resource toward production.

Given all this activity and its current trading levels, Defense Metals is providing you the chance to own one of the most intriguing names in the space…at bargain prices.
