Rare Earth Elements Detected At Iron Hills Project

EDMONTON – Canamera Energy Metals Corp. reported on sampling from the Iron Hills Project located in Colorado. Multiple samples returned indicative concentrations of rare earth elements (REEs”) exceeding the laboratory’s upper detection limit of 1,000 parts per million (ppm). The Company collected 48 rock chip samples during its recent staking program, which was announced on December 2, 2025. Assay results from American Assay Laboratories in Reno, Nevada, indicate the potential for strong rare earth enrichment across the project. Over-limit results were indicated for neodymium, a magnet rare earth critical to electric vehicle motors and wind turbines; yttrium, a heavy rare earth element; and cerium, an indicator of broader total rare earth oxide (TREO) potential. Preliminary results include heavy rare earth oxide (“HREO”) results ranging from 175 ppm to 2,386 ppm enrichment.
“The frequency and diversity of over-limit results from this initial sampling program is encouraging,” stated Brad Brodeur, Chief Executive Officer. “We collected 48 samples during the staking process and multiple returned indicative values above the lab’s 1,000 ppm detection cap for key rare earth elements. These results support continued exploration to define the potential scale of mineralization on our claims. The Company believes these results are particularly noteworthy given the project’s location in the United States, where rare earth elements are designated as critical minerals due to their importance to clean energy, advanced manufacturing and national supply chains.”
Highlights: 1) 48 rock chip samples collected during the staking program, with 12 samples returning over-limit results (>1,000 ppm) for TREO. 2) Samples 28, 29 and 47 exceeded 1,000 ppm neodymium (Nd), a critical magnet rare earth. 3) Sample 9 exceeded 1,000 ppm yttrium (Y), a heavy rare earth element, with elevated values of other heavy rare earths. 4) Four samples exceeded 1,000 ppm cerium (Ce), indicating TREO potential. 5) Follow-up analytical work with extended detection ranges planned.
