North American Niobium identifies priority rare earth-niobium targets at Bardy SE from airborne survey

• North American Niobium and Critical Minerals flagged two priority rare earth element-niobium targets at its Bardy SE property near La Tuque, Québec.
• Airborne magnetic-gradient and gamma-ray survey outlined BSE-05, a thorium high within an alkaline intrusion over a uranium-thorium anomaly.
• A historical government grab sample at BSE-05 returned 0.14% total rare earth elements, estimated at about 0.17% total rare earth oxides.
• BSE-04 was identified as a radiometric high at the contact between the intrusion and surrounding metasedimentary rocks.
• Both targets are set to be included in a planned Phase 2 drilling program, with drilling expected to start in late October.
