VANCOUVER, Feb. 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Defense Metals Corp.
("Defense Metals") (DEFN: TSX-V / DFMTF: OTCQB /

Canada has invited Defense
Metals to Critical Minerals Industry Day, on
February 11, 2020, at the
MaRS Discovery District in Toronto,

Critical minerals are of increasing strategic importance in
global value chains. Canada has
the potential to increase and establish production of certain
critical minerals, to enhance and develop related processing
capacities, and to support secure supply chains for trusted
international partners.
To that end, this Industry Day will bring together a diverse
array of stakeholders from upstream mining and exploration,
midstream refining and processing and downstream end-use and
manufacturing industries, as well as from federal, provincial and
territorial governments, to kick-start stakeholder engagement
across the entire critical minerals value chain.
The Government is seeking input on the risks, opportunities, and
barriers facing industry, as well as recommendations for action for
industry and governments to strategically position Canadian
critical minerals for global success, capital market confidence,
and investments.
