Mr. Nicholas Holthouse reports
MONT ROYAL ACCEPTED INTO US DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE CONSORTIUM (DIBC)
Mont Royal Resources Ltd. has been accepted into the Defense Industrial Base Consortium, marking an important strategic milestone as it advances the development of its 100-per-cent-owned Ashram rare earth and fluorspar project in Quebec, Canada.
The DIBC is a U.S. Department of Defence-supported consortium established to accelerate innovation and strengthen domestic and allied industrial capability across strategically important sectors. Membership provides Mont Royal with access to a collaborative network comprising U.S. defence agencies, prime contractors, research institutions and technology developers working to strengthen North American industrial capability and develop resilient supply chains.
As governments across North America and allied jurisdictions continue to prioritize sovereign supply of rare earth elements and industrial minerals essential to defence technologies, aerospace, permanent magnets and advanced manufacturing, Mont Royal believes the Ashram project is well positioned to contribute to these long-term strategic objectives.
Mont Royal's managing director, Nicholas Holthouse, said: "Acceptance into the Defense Industrial Base Consortium is an important strategic step for Mont Royal because it provides Mont Royal with a direct avenue to engage with organizations focused on strengthening North America's emerging critical minerals supply chain.
"Governments are increasingly recognizing that secure supplies of rare earth elements and industrial minerals are fundamental to national security, advanced manufacturing and the energy transition. Ashram is one of the largest undeveloped rare earth and fluorspar deposits in North America and as governments continue to prioritize secure and diversified supply chains, we believe its strategic significance will continue to grow.
"While DIBC membership does not itself provide funding, it significantly expands our access to collaboration opportunities and reinforces our objective of positioning Ashram as a future supplier of critical minerals for North American and Allied markets."
