- RT Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RTM) (OTC: RTMFF) is accelerating its exploration at Case Batholith, Ontario with a UAV survey targeting lithium and cesium.
- The UAV magnetic survey will produce final results by Q3 2025 to aid in identifying critical mineral targets.
- Global geopolitical tensions, particularly China's export restrictions, underscore the urgency for alternative critical mineral sources.
RT Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RTM) (OTC: RTMFF) has initiated a high-resolution UAV magnetic survey at its Case Batholith property in northeastern Ontario. This exploration program aims to identify lithium, cesium, and rare earth element mineralization targets as part of the company's 2025 strategic initiative. The completion of the survey, expected by the third quarter of 2025, will be crucial in refining RT Minerals' exploration and drill targeting strategies.
The Case Batholith property, covering approximately 150 km by 60 km, holds significant potential for critical minerals needed in sectors such as semiconductors and electric vehicles. In response to increasing global supply chain concerns, particularly due to recent Chinese export restrictions to the U.S., RT Minerals is focused on positioning itself as a reliable North American supplier of these minerals.
Elevated trade tensions have led to the U.S. implementing tariffs of up to 245% on Chinese imports. In retaliation, China has imposed 125% tariffs on U.S. goods and established export controls on rare earth elements, further complicating the global supply situation. As these tensions and supply chain issues continue to evolve, RT Minerals is keenly advancing its Case Batholith project to support North American industries and decrease reliance on foreign mineral sources.
