what happened
Defense Metals Corp. reported the closing of the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement. The company issued 376,714 units at C$0.14 each, for gross proceeds of about C$52,740. Each unit includes one common share and one-half of one warrant, and each whole warrant allows the holder to buy a share at C$0.21 for 36 months.
Including the first tranche, which closed on October 16, 2026 with about C$3,647,877, combined gross proceeds reached roughly C$3,700,617. The company plans to use the net proceeds to advance its Wicheeda rare earth project in British Columbia and for general corporate purposes. Insiders took part in the second tranche for about C$21,940. The offering remains subject to final approval from the TSXV. Source: TradingView.
why it matters
The deal is small, so it is barely relevant for the broad market. For investors in early-stage rare earth projects, the update shows that financing remains limited, and further progress at Wicheeda depends on a feasibility study and permits.
