Marvel's Wicheeda Ree's Project Positioned As Rocky Mountain Rare Earth Metal Belt Reports Promising Results

Marvel's Wicheeda Ree's Project Positioned As Rocky Mountain Rare Earth Metal Belt Reports Promising Results

Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V: MARV)(FRA:O4T)(OTCQB:MARVF); (the "Company") is pleased to report on the recent activities by our neighbor Defence Metals (DEFN.V) at their Wicheeda Carbonatite Deposit. The Wicheeda Deposit hosts 4.89 million tonnes (Mt) at 3.02% light rare earth oxide (LREO) and an inferred resource of 12.1 Mt at 2.90 LREO using a cut off 1.5% total metal (see "technical report on the Wicheeda, Property, British Columbia Canada" with an effective date June 27th, 2020). Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximal properties (ie: the Wicheeda Carbonatite) may not be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's project

Marvel and Defense Metals Wicheeda projects are located 80km northeast of the city of Prince George British Columbia. Marvel's property of interest lies immediately northwest of Defense Metals ground and covers 2,135 hectares. Power-One, a Marvel portfolio company, (SPINCO) holds the surrounding claims for total of 4,274 hectares. (See figure 1 page 2) The property was acquired due to its oval aeromagnetic feature similar to the magnetic signature that hosts the Wicheeda Carbonatite.

On April 27, 2022, Defense released results for the final five diamond drill holes totalling 1,079 meters from the company's 29-hole, 5,349-meter diamond drill program completed during fall 2021. Drill holes WI21-57 through WI21-61 were collared from the two sites within the eastern area of the Wicheeda rare earth element (REE) deposit.

Resource definition drill hole WI21-58 in conjunction with WI21-59 collared from the same setup yielded two of the three highest-grade-by-width intercepts of the 2021 drill campaign, with WI21-58 averaging 3.09% TREO (total rare earth oxides) over 251 meters, including 3.92% TREO over 80 meters; and WI21-59 returning 2.76% TREO over 212 meters, including 3.25% TREO over 90 meters from surface (DEFN:V press release April 27, 2022).

"The Rocky Mountain Rare Earth Metal Belt is quickly becoming recognized as a host to REE's," stated Karim Rayani President Chief Executive Officer. "Marvel and equity holding Power-One Resources (SPINCO) now control a sizeable area of influence in the camp of approx. 4,300 hectares. Recent drilling by Defense reports the longest high-grade intercept to date of 3.09 % total rare earth oxide over 250m -including 3.92% over 80m. Marvel is uniquely positioned, covering a similar looking magnetic signature as the Wicheeda Carbonatite Deposit. We are awaiting a final compilation of all datasets and interpretation of geophysical reports to mobilize field crews for this summer's work program."

Marvel Discovery Corp., Tuesday, May 3, 2022, Press release picture

Once the Company has completed a geophysical interpretation and review of all government datasets covering the entire property position, and that of the surrounding area to understand the structural and mineralizing environment. The Company will mobilize field crews to follow-up on all priority targets planned to start this summer.

Rare Earth Demand and Outlook

Rare Earth Metals are currently in a supply/demand imbalance. To meet the strong global demand a new mine with production of 20,000 tonnes of Rare Earth Oxide is required every year to 2025. (Ref1). China is forecasted to be a net importer of Rare Earth Metals by 2025 and is acquiring projects outside of China. Canada still holds a position as having one of the largest known reserves and resources, measured and indicated for Rare Earth Metals worldwide, estimated at over 14 million tonnes of Rare Earth Oxide. (Ref2)

The Nechalacho REE Project in the Northwest Territories is set to be the lowest cost producer of mixed Rare Earth Oxide outside of China. A number of projects throughout Canada are developing sizeable resources, and the Wicheeda is considered one of the larger deposits within Canada for Light Rare Earths (LREO).

Manufacturing permanent magnets is the largest global use of REE's accounting for 29% of forecasted demand, China lead by producing 140,000 tonnes of REE's in 2020, accounting for almost 60% of global production. The Global rare earth market is projected to grow from current USD 5.3 billion to USD 9.6 billion by 2026. (Ref 3)

("NdPr") Neodymium and Praseodymium - Power the strongest types of rare earth magnets which enable the conversion of electrical energy into motion via permanent-magnet motors. Permanent magnets are an essential component of modern electronics covering, cell phones, televisions, computers, and automobiles and more robust commercial applications as noted. (Ref1)

  • Green Energy: a 3MV wind turbine uses 600=kg of NdPR Oxides projected to grow at 7%.
  • Hydraulic Fracturing, every barrel uses 3.8g of REO cracking catalysts.
  • Military Strategic; Jet Turbine, submarines, advanced weapons. Lasers, satellites & communications.
  • Electric Car Market - Battery Metals, growth expected from 3M to 125 million 2030. Every car will use 0.5-1.5 more NdPr that the internal combustion engine it replaces.

Marvel Resumes Exploration of Gold Anomaly at Victoria Lake

Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T)(OTCQB:MARVF) ("Marvel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company is planning a till sampling exploration program at its Victoria Lake Property for Q2 2024. The project is being planned as a follow-up to reconnaissance till and soil sampling completed in 2023 that identified anomalous gold. The Victoria Lake Property is situated over more than 15 kilometres of the Victoria Lake Shear Zone (VLSZ), part of an extensive fault corridor within Central Newfoundland that Honsberger et al. (2022)1 identified as emerging as one of the most prospective orogenic gold domains in Atlantic Canada. The project will further follow up on the second highest regional gold-in-till sample identified by the Newfoundland Geoscience Atlas, which reported 785 ppb Au from a sample collected within Marvel's Victoria Lake project

Marvel Completes Drilling at Duhamel, Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, North of Quebec City

Marvel Completes Drilling at Duhamel, Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, North of Quebec City

Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T)(MARVF:OTCQB); ( "Marvel " or the "Company" ) is pleased to report that the Company has completed drilling operations on its Ni-Cu-Co and Ti-V-Cr Duhamel property (the " Property ") located 350 kilometers (km) north of Quebec City, QC (Figure 1

Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer , states , "We are thrilled with the results of our inaugural drill campaign at our Duhamel project. Every hole was successful in intersecting our interpreted target horizons -intersecting disseminated, semi-massive and/or massive sulfide zones. At this state we have decided to pause our drilling operations and now will focus our efforts on both field and desktop studies to help us gain a better understanding of both the genesis and structural setting of these exciting massive sulfide zones. While we wait for assays on all holes, we will be conducting low frequency Borehole and Surface Time Domain Electromagnetics to assist with future targeting areas. Our field geologist is most excited with these initial results and seeing mineralized textures suggestive of these sulfides being part of a much larger sulfide pool, and we eagerly anticipate the Geophysical results to help us vector towards the higher conductance and thicker sulfide zones."

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.
