Defense Metals Launches Pilot Flotation Program for Wicheeda Rare Earth Project

Defense Metals Corporation has launched a comprehensive pilot-scale flotation testing program at its Wicheeda Rare Earth Project near Prince George, British Columbia. The company has appointed SGS Canada Inc. to conduct the 30-tonne pilot test, which will support process development and provide data for a future feasibility study. The program aims to produce flotation concentrate for hydrometallurgical testing and marks a significant step toward developing Canada’s first large-scale rare earth element producer.
