• Canada-based Powermax is exploring North American sites with important rare earth element (“REE”) mining potential as part of the company’s pursuit of Western solutions to REE supply chain dependence on China
• Rare earths are famously integral to making parts for numerous computerized technologies, including many that support national security interests
• The U.S. Department of Defense’s assistance in funding REE refinery projects in California and Saskatchewan underscores the market’s importance to governments and its potential as a long-term industry
• Powermax’s properties include exploration sites in British Columbia, Ontario, and Wyoming, and the company recently added the option for a second Ontario property

Rare earth minerals have made news headlines in recent years as part of the justification for shifts in international economic policies. This includes trade disputes with China (https://ibn.fm/hgeOD) and the Russia-Ukraine conflict (https://ibn.fm/M0je3), as well as U.S. interests in wresting control of Greenland from Denmark (https://ibn.fm/0sHCg) and even its actions to take a direct hand in governing Venezuela (https://ibn.fm/TrRIr).

Rare earth element explorer Powermax Minerals (CSE: PMAX) (OTCQB: PWMXF) is advancing the art of identifying and exploring for rare earth elements (“REEs”) on North American soil as key for any potential solution to the world’s dependence on China’s near monopolistic control of the REE market and other supply chain pressures.

The Canada-based company holds working properties in Canada and the United States, focusing on British Columbia’s Cameron project, Ontario’s Atikokan project and Wyoming’s Ogden Bear Lodge project (https://ibn.fm/odOMW). Powermax also recently announced its decision to option the Pinard REE property in northern Ontario (https://ibn.fm/1dvUk).

Powermax achieved a key technical milestone at the Atikokan property in December, completing geological mapping, prospecting, ground-based radiometric surveys, and geochemical sampling across several priority targets (https://ibn.fm/7G6Za). The company also closed out the year with details of its Phase 2 fieldwork at Cameron (https://ibn.fm/t69Lr), and an announcement of its plans for Phase 1 work at Pinard, combining historical data with new fieldwork to identify target priorities (https://ibn.fm/FBijb).

The open pit Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility in Southern California is currently the only rare earth mining and processing facility in the United States (https://ibn.fm/rhaUZ), while Canada opened its first rare earth minerals processing plant at commercial scale in 2024 in Saskatchewan. Canada has an active REE mining project in the Northwest Territories (https://ibn.fm/ENB8S) and other progressing projects, such as those being explored by Powermax, offering the potential to bolster a resurgent REE market in North America.

The U.S. Department of Defense helps fund the refineries in California and Saskatchewan as part of a national technological security effort to shift rare earth supply chains away from China, underscoring their importance to Western governments. North American nations have increasingly aligned themselves with policies that seek to return REE market strength to the continent.

The U.S Department of Energy describes REEs’ magnetic, heat-resistant, and phosphorescent properties as integral to most modern technologies, including components for critical defense and homeland security applications, “green” energy technologies, hybrid and electric vehicles, and high-value computer electronics (https://ibn.fm/iIBjA).

Powermax’s exploration progress positions the company as a participant in a market that has long-term potential thanks to the supply chain concerns and governmental interest in securing the market.
