Springer Rare Earth Project
Springer Project is North America’s 7th largest Rare Earth Deposit located near Sudbury Ontario, Canada
2026 Mineral Resource Estimate ranks Springer in the top 10 largest Rare Earth Deposits with a significant upside potential for Gallium, a critical metal for semiconductor and defense applications. Springer has a potential to be in the top 5 largest Rare Earth Deposits in North America.

Resource Details & Grade Profile
Mineralization Continuity: Mineralization is continuous along a c. 800m strike length and the deposit remains open in all directions for significant expansion.
High-Grade TREO: 1.09% TREO over 351.1m, 0.95% TREO over 238.9m
High-Value Rare Earths: 90% of REEs are Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium and Terbium – high payable magnet metals.
157.8 g/t Dy oxide and 26.2 g/t Tb oxide over 27.1m from 124.4 to 151.1m
High-Grade Gallium: 81 g/t Ga oxide over 131.9m of continuous drilling.
Mineral system suggests a ~10Mt Gallium exploration target
Mineralization at surface, remains open in all directions
The Gallium Opportunity
Gallium is an essential component for semiconductors, AI efficiency, and modern defense systems (radar, telecommunications).
While previous models focused solely on Rare Earths, recent analysis has identified Springer as a significant Gallium asset.
Unmodelled Potential: Thick zones of Gallium were intersected in historical drilling but never modelled.
Superior Grade: Intercepts include 87.5m returning 102.3 g/t Ga₂O₃. For comparison, this is higher than the average grade (47.7ppm) of the Cordero deposit, North America’s largest unmined Gallium deposit.
Exploration Target: Mineral system analysis suggests a potential >10 Mt Gallium resource exists on the property.
Access
Paved road to the property. 1 hour from Sudbury via Trans Canada Highway. 30 minutes from North Bay. Power lines run through the property.
Power
Crystal Falls Power Generating Dam is 7 km from the resource.
Logistics
