About Springer Rare Earth Project
It is one of the 21 North American projects with a defined Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and holds significant upside potential for Gallium, a critical metal for the defense and semiconductor sectors. Springer deposit ranks 12th in terms of TREO grade profile, and 15th in tonnes with further upside potential, excluding gallium.
