TSX-V-listed Defense Metals is mobilising a second diamond drill to expedite its ongoing Wicheeda rare earth element (REE) deposit resource expansion and delineation diamond drill programme.

The second drill rig will start coring within the central deposit by mid-week, the company said on Monday.

The first drill rig has completed more than 1 500 m in eight diamond drill holes since the drill campaign started about four weeks ago. The rig will continue drilling on the north-end of the Wicheeda REE deposit.

The Wicheeda project, 80 km north-east of Prince George, has indicated mineral resources of 4.89-million tonnes, averaging 3.02% light rare-earth elements (LREO) and inferred resources of 12.1-million tonnes averaging 2.9% LREO.
