Defense Metals completed private placement tranches, filed exempt-offering reports, appointed a SVP and saw TSXV share volatility on Nov. 18, 2025.

Defense Metals Corp. (TSXV: DEFN) disclosed a series of financings, regulatory filings and an executive appointment as its shares traded with notable volatility.

The company reported closing a second tranche of a private placement on Nov. 10, following an earlier private placement that closed Oct. 31 and raised gross proceeds of C$16.2 million. In October it announced a best-efforts private placement program for up to C$15 million and filed offering materials later in the month.

Regulatory filings through SEDAR and an SEC Form D notice were posted in November, including exempt distribution reports (45-106F1) and a material change report. These filings reflect the company’s recent capital-raising activity and related documentation for investors and regulators.

On Oct. 23 Defense Metals appointed Ali Mahdavi as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, and granted incentive stock options. The company’s shares reached new 52-week highs in October before pulling back; on Nov. 18, 2025 the stock was quoted at C$0.23, down 6.12% with a reported volume of 505,118 and bid/ask around C$0.225/C$0.235.

The updates underscore ongoing financing and corporate development activity as the company advances its rare-earth interests.
