VANCOUVER, BC - October 11, 2024 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Defense Metals Corp. ("Defense Metals" or the "Company") (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ FSE: 35D) today announced the successful closing of its previously announced non-brokered bridge financing of secured convertible notes (the "Notes"), raising $4,000,000 in gross proceeds (the "Offering").

 

Update on Prefeasibility Study

The proceeds of the Offering will enable Defense Metals to complete the Prefeasibility Study ("PFS") for the Wicheeda Rare Earth Element Project, carry out scenario analyses, evaluate possible optimization of processes, and conduct further testing. The PFS will be substantially completed by the end of the year, with the final results published in Q1 2025. The PFS is being led by Hatch Ltd., with metallurgical oversight provided by rare earth processing expert John Goode.

 

Following the completion of the PFS, Defense Metals plans to immediately launch into the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), with financing expected to take place in Q1 2025.

 

CEO Search Update

The Company is also actively conducting a search for a new CEO, which is being led by executive search firm Johnson Partners. A number of highly qualified candidates have already been identified, and the new CEO is expected to be in place by Q1 2025.

Guy de Selliers, Executive Chairman and Acting CEO of Defense Metals, commented:

"We are encouraged by the progress we are making at this pivotal stage for Defense Metals. The successful completion of a fully subscribed financing is a testament to the quality of the Wicheeda Project, which is by all accounts one of the very best undeveloped rare earth mining projects in North America. Our fruitful collaboration with Hatch, who played a lead engineer role on Arafura's Nolan's project, is helping us advance swiftly toward completing our PFS. We are also pleased with the positive response to our CEO search and look forward to having a new CEO in place by Q1 2025, as we continue to accelerate forward."

 

Alex Heath, SVP Corporate Development & Interim CFO of Defense Metals, added:

"This financing provides the necessary financial resources we need to complete the pre-feasibility study and further advance our technical and optimization work. It also positions us to raise the financing required for the Definitive Feasibility Study as a further step towards bringing the Wicheeda deposit into production. We are confident that we will be able to raise the necessary financing for the project with the help of our financial advisor HCF International Advisors, which was instrumental in mobilizing AUD$1 billion debt package for Arafura's rare earth project in Australia."

 

Terms of The Notes

The Notes bear interest from the date of issuance at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable quarterly in common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price per share equal to the applicable 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), or such other price determined in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Notes will mature 12 months after the date of issuance. Investors have the option to convert the principal amount of the Notes into Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.125 per share up to seven days prior to a Mandatory Conversion Event (as defined below).

 

The Notes will automatically convert into Common Shares upon the occurrence of certain events (each, a "Mandatory Conversion Event"), including the completion by the Company of a new issuance of equity as part of a minimum $4,000,000 financing from third party sources (excluding conversion of the Notes), completion of a sale of all or substantially all of the Common Shares or assets of the Company, or completion of a merger or other corporate transaction coincident with a minimum $4,000,000 fundraise from third party capital (excluding conversion of the Notes). Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event, the principal amount of the Notes will automatically convert into Common Shares at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the applicable price of the offering implied by the Mandatory Conversion Event, provided that if such conversion price would be less than the Conversion Price there will be no mandatory conversion.

 

The Notes were issued on a private placement basis to eligible accredited investors, with lead orders from Okeburn Corp Limited ("Okeburn"), a company owned by a family trust of Guy de Selliers, Defense Metals' Executive Chairman and RCF Opportunities Fund II L.P. ("RCF"). Okeburn participated for $1,768,000, and RCF subscribed for Notes in the principal amount of $500,000. In connection with their investments, both RCF and Okeburn entered into separate investor rights agreements, granting them certain board observer rights, cashflow reporting rights, and rights to participate in future financings of the Company. The participation of Okeburn in the Offering is exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.

 

The Notes are secured against all personal property of the Company and a first ranking security interest against the Company's mining claims in respect of the Wicheeda REE Project. All note holders rank pari passu among themselves.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for completion of the pre-feasibility study for the Wicheeda REE Project and general corporate and working capital purposes. The Notes and any underlying Common Shares are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance of the Notes as set out in National Instrument 45-102 - Resale of Securities.

Breaking Renewable Energy Stock News: KULR's (NYSE: $KULR) Xero Vibe Technology Lands Licensing Partnership with $2.35M Deal; @KULRTech

Breaking Renewable Energy Stock News: KULR's (NYSE: $KULR) Xero Vibe Technology Lands Licensing Partnership with $2.35M Deal; @KULRTech

 

Milestone IP Licensing Deal Expands Business Opportunities via New Business Model

 




Houston, TX - October 2, 2024 (Investorideas.com Newswire) KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a global leader in sustainable energy management, today announced a licensing agreement for its proprietary vibration reduction technology named KULR Xero Vibe ("KXV"). The $2.35M landmark deal includes a $1.1M minimum guaranteed license and royalty fee, a unique opportunity for the licensee to purchase proprietary balancing equipment directly from KULR and additional revenue upside to KULR based on volume and technology upgrades. The licensee, a leading Japanese corporation, specializing in systems integration and the distribution of advanced semiconductor solutions, intends to use the KXV technology to balance industrial-scale fan systems used in data center computer cooling, HVAC and other industrial applications. KULR is exploring additional license opportunities based on geographic regions in tangential power-consuming applications, where KULR expects substantial upside revenue potential as product sales and royalty income scales along with its customers' growth.

 

KULR's KXV technology offers a transformative solution for balancing high-performance commercial fans running at speeds exceeding 33,000 RPM. These fans are critical for, among other things, cooling a growing number of AI-driven data center computer servers. The KXV system reduces vibration to virtually zero, optimizing cooling system performance and reducing energy consumption.

Michael Mo, KULR CEO, said, "Did you know a ChatGPT query uses almost 10 times as much electricity as a Google search? According to Goldman Sachs, AI will drive data centers power consumption by 160% from 1-2% of overall worldwide power consumption now to 3-4% by the end of the decade. By virtually eliminating vibration, KXV is a game-changer technology to make data center fan cooling systems more efficient and environmentally friendly, and help customers lower operational and capex cost."

 

Additional Advantages of KULR's KXV Technology
KXV technology not only improves cooling system energy efficiency but also offers several additional benefits for data centers:

  • Reduced Noise Enhances Work Environment: Lower vibration means quieter operations, contributing to a better working environment.
  • Increased Stability Improves Performance: Systems operate more smoothly and reliably, enhancing overall performance
  • Less Wear and Tear Reduces Both Capital Spending and Operating Expenses: Dramatic reduction in vibration decreases mechanical stress on fans and cooling systems, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

 

Improving Data Center Cooling Efficiency
According to the United States Chamber of Commerce, energy consumption is the single largest operational expense for data centers, with cooling costs representing approximately 40% of total expenses. By leveraging KULR's KXV technology to reduce energy use, companies can lower operational costs and move toward more sustainable practices. Microsoft's partnership with Constellation Energy, Oracle's shift toward nuclear power, and Vistra Energy's rise as the top-performing stock on the S&P 500 year-to-date, underscore the importance of energy efficiency in today's business landscape.

 

About KULR Technology Group, Inc.

KULR Technology Group Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) delivers cutting edge energy storage solutions for space, aerospace, and defense by leveraging a foundation of in-house battery design expertise, comprehensive cell and battery testing suite, and battery fabrication and production capabilities.

VANCOUVER, BC - September 27, 2024 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Defense Metals Corp. ("Defense Metals" or the "Company") (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ FSE: 35D) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with The Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") that will benefit both parties by promoting a collaborative and strategic approach to help strengthen the rare earth element ("REE") supply chain within Canada.

Read this news, featuring DEFN in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2024/09271DEFN-Saskatchewan-Research-Council-Domestic-REE-Supply-Chain.asp

 

Guy de Selliers, Executive Chairman of Defense Metals, commented:

"We are excited to collaborate with The Saskatchewan Research Council, a recognized leader in rare earth processing and technology development. This MOU represents a significant step forward in our goal of becoming part of a secure and sustainable supply chain for rare earth elements in North America. By working together with SRC, we believe we can make substantial progress toward closing the rare earth supply chain loop and ensuring the availability of these critical materials for green energy and defence applications that are essential for national security."

 

The MOU outlines a framework for Defense Metals and SRC to leverage their respective capabilities and interests in the supply and processing of rare earth materials that are especially critical to the production of rare earth magnets. The proposed objectives of this collaboration include:

  • Exploring potential collaborations using each Participant's respective capabilities and interests in the process and supply of rare earth products used in the rare earths magnet value chain;
  • Enabling discussions in connection with the separation of the Defense Metal's mixed rare earth carbonates into separated rare earth oxides employing SRC's separation technology design, installation, and operational expertise; and
  • Facilitating negotiations of a long-term agreement with SRC for the sale and purchase of Defense Metal's mixed rare earth carbonate.

 

This collaboration aligns with the broader Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy, which is focused on developing a domestic industry, reducing reliance on foreign sources of critical minerals and bolstering national security. Furthermore, it supports broader North American goals for economic competitiveness and technological innovation in clean energy and defence technologies.

 

About The Saskatchewan Research Council

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.
