current exploration program later this year.
With a wide base of international experience spanning 60 years, WGM is well known for its expertise in
exploration and mine development. The WGM project team comprises geologists, metallurgical engineers
and minerals economists with significant experience related to exploration for rare earths and the related
concentration, processing, production and marketing of rare earth products. All are Qualified Persons in

2021 Alces Lake Activity
Approximately 7,200 metres of drilling has been planned to test the near-surface and down-plunge extents of
new and existing rare-earth targets and total metreage could exceed 10,000 metres. More than 4,000 metres is
dedicated to identifying the depth potential of the WRCB zones and help complete the understanding of this
significant discovery. Drilling continues and exploration results will be released as received and analyzed by
the company. Analysis of the summer exploration and drilling program will follow and may lead to the
preparation of an NI 43-101 (Technical Report with 3D Geophysical-geological Models & Preliminary
Economic Assessment) report after the end of the 2021 drilling program. The Alces Lake project
encompasses some of the highest-grade total and critical* REEs and gallium mineralization in the world,
hosted within a number of surface and near surface monazite occurrences that remain open at depth and along
strike.
* Critical rare earth elements are defined here as those that are in short-supply and high-demand for use in permanent magnets and modern electronic
applications such as electric vehicles and wind turbines (i.e: neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb)).
