Search Minerals Inc. holds a 100% interest in the Deep Fox and Foxtrot rare earth element projects within its 64 km-long Port Hope Simpson–St. Lewis CREE District in Labrador, Canada. The district contains over 20 additional prospects, positioning the company to develop a district-scale operation in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with proximity to the port of St. Lewis.
The strategic importance of rare earth elements has intensified as governments and industries seek to secure reliable supply chains for materials critical to modern technology. While not geologically rare, economically viable deposits with established infrastructure are limited. Magnetic rare earth elements—particularly neodymium and praseodymium, along with dysprosium and terbium—are increasingly essential components in electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and various industrial applications.
According to Deep Fox's December 2021 resource profile, the deposit shows higher magnetic rare earth values than the Foxtrot project, including 394 parts per million praseodymium and 1,469 parts per million neodymium in the Indicated category. These specific elements command premium prices due to their role in permanent magnets that enable high-efficiency motors and generators.
The company's development comes as markets increasingly value projects that demonstrate potential for district-scale development rather than isolated exploration successes. Search Minerals' pipeline of targets and established resource base represents an attempt to build a sustainable supply chain within North America, reducing dependence on imports from dominant producers.

The development of domestic rare earth supply chains has implications for national security, economic competitiveness, and the transition to clean energy. As demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure grows, projects like those in Labrador could help ensure North American manufacturers have access to critical materials without relying on geopolitically sensitive supply routes. The concentration of magnetic rare earth elements in Search Minerals' deposits aligns with market needs for the specific materials driving electrification technologies.
