Victory’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Brendan Clark commented:
“This raise will fast track our PFS and marks a pivotal moment for Victory with such strong support.
North Stanmore is emerging as one of the world’s most advanced heavy rare earth clay projects and
is already Australia’s leading heavy rare earth project. Our MREC test work has successfully
recovered seven strategic metals currently under Chinese export restrictions, including gallium and the
full suite of critical heavy rare earths. We are building a globally significant critical minerals platform
and are proud to be leading the charge. I thank existing shareholders for their continued support, and
we welcome our new shareholders.”
