Meta Critical Minerals Ink Option for U.S. Critical Minerals Project

On April 27, 2026, Meta Critical Minerals Inc., formerly known as Troy Minerals Inc., signed an agreement with Arcadia Minerals Inc. to acquire a full interest in a critical minerals project located in Wyoming, USA. This project covers approximately 3,760 acres, hosting two significant deposits rich in zircon, titanium, and rare earth elements.

The project is strategically located in a top-ranked mining jurisdiction with strong infrastructure, including road access, power, and skilled workforce availability. It involves near-surface mineral deposits, potentially amenable to low-cost open-pit mining, and benefits from U.S. initiatives to enhance domestic critical minerals supply.

The agreement details include cash payments and substantial exploration expenditures. Meta aims to further define the resource and advance exploration efforts, targeting a robust supply chain for zirconium, titanium, and rare earth elements, crucial for defense, nuclear energy, and advanced manufacturing industries.
