"The positive outlook confirms our investment thesis for the Strange Lake project’s development as a reliable source of heavy and light rare earths and a critical driver for the electrification value chain in North America."
"We are currently in an environment where gold producers in Canada have the rare opportunity to combine a very high gold price with a currency that plays in your favor."
