Volta Metals (CSE: VLTA)<\/strong> has the 7th largest<\/span> Rare Earth Element (REE) resource<\/strong> in North America because not only is its footprint<\/strong><\/span> of REEs<\/strong> absolutely massive<\/strong><\/span> at 700 metres by 400 metres<\/strong>, or 0.28 sq km<\/strong>, but many of its drill intercepts<\/strong><\/span> extend to depths of approximately 300 m<\/strong>, which shows the importance of depth<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

This is why Saga Metals (TSXV: SAGA)’s announcement<\/strong> this week that the company intersected<\/span> 169 metres<\/strong> of the shallowly dipping prospective REE-bearing volcanic ash tuff unit in its very first<\/span> drill hole<\/strong> is so important.<\/p>\n\n

Scientists reported in 1993 that SAGA’s Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Project<\/strong> contained rare-metal mineralization that was 32 metres thick<\/strong> in one occurrence and at least 4 metres thick over an area of 14 square kilometres<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n

We already know from the initial shallow RC drill holes completed in 2025 that strong REE grades were discovered at depths greater than scientists had imagined:<\/p>\n\n
