Meta Critical Minerals Appoints West Point Advisor John Melkon as Wyoming Drilling Advances

Highlights

• John Melkon, a national-security specialist with West Point ties, joins Meta Critical Minerals' Strategic Advisory Board to strengthen federal engagement.
• Meta is authorized for 10,500 feet of drilling at Wyoming's Arcadia Dugout Creek deposit, with Lake Owen targeting vanadium, titanium, and scandium.
• REEx cautions that advisory appointments do not equal Pentagon funding or procurement commitments; verified grades and recoveries are the true valuation catalysts.
• Meta reported C$6.04 million cash and a C$2.69 million annual loss with auditors flagging going-concern uncertainty and shares nearly doubling year-over-year.
