This news release contains "forward
looking information or statements" within the meaning of applicable securities
laws, which may include, without limitation, any statements (expressed or implied) relating to: advancing the Wicheeda
Project, the issuance of the Interest Shares and other matters. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by
words such as "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "continue,"
"could," "may," "might," "possible," "potential," "predict," "should," "would" and other similar words and expressions, but
the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements in this news
release, other than statements of historical facts, that address events, contribution or developments that the Company
expects to occur, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such statements
and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the
environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of rare earth elements, the anticipated
costs and expenditures, the ability to achieve its goals, that general business and economic conditions will not change
in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms. Such
forward-looking information reflects the Company's views with respect to future events and is subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of exploration and
metallurgical results, risks related to the inherent uncertainty of exploration and development and cost estimates, the
potential for unexpected costs and expenses and those other risks filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (
www.sedarplus.ca
). While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the
Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and
risks. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include, but
are not limited to, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions,
adverse weather and climate conditions, failure to maintain or obtain all necessary government permits, approvals and
authorizations, failure to maintain or obtain community acceptance (including First Nations), risks relating to
unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with
specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of personnel, materials and equipment, government action
or delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated events
related to health, safety and environmental matters), risks relating to inaccurate geological, metallurgical, engineering
and pricing assumptions, decrease in the price of rare earth elements, the impact of viruses and diseases on the
Company's ability to operate, restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains, loss of key employees,
consultants, officers or directors, increase in costs, delayed results, litigation, and failure of counterparties to perform
their contractual obligations. The Company does not undertake to update forward–looking statements or forward–
looking information, except as required by law.
