“The results from RIFT26-025 through RIFT26-028 continue to demonstrate the significant grade and scale profile with the Trinity Zone extending to the west and northwest and remaining open for expansion. Hole RIFT26-026 alone intersected more than 200 metres of high-grade rare-earth mineralization. With drilling ongoing and an MRE planned by the end of Q1/2027, we continue to demonstrate the potential for our Rift Project to emerge as a strategic contributor to the domestic and international rare earth supply chains.”
