At IWA - we love the rare earth space, where explosive gains are possible. If you want to electrify the world economy, the electrically conductive elements are going to become much more valuable in real terms, compared to things that don't conduct electrical energy. It is all a bit of sham if you do not change the way electrical energy is generated, distributed, and stored – so the whole system has to be rebuilt top-to-bottom, and that is what is bringing the onset of the bull market in battery and related metals. Rare earth elements are needed in the process. “- IWA Greg Andrews commented: "We are very excited about completing our current financing. We have over $ 7M in treasury, which is allowing us to initiate our ambitious plans in 2022. The recent macro developments in the rare earth market, including significant price increases for the permanent magnet REE's, along with a forecasted supply deficit, has allowed Search to capture funding opportunities looking for advanced projects in North America. Our Deep Fox project is one of those projects, but the other attraction, is our District Scale opportunity that also includes the Foxtrot resource, and the drill ready Fox Meadow mineralized zone. Search is completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on the Deep Fox project to be completed late March 2022, which will be followed immediately by commencement of a Definitive Feasibility Study for completion in 2023."
