    Verde AgriTech (TSX:NPK) reveals that Oby Rare Earths in Australia will independently advance the Man of War Rare Earths Project (MoW), subject to shareholder approval.

    In a news release, the company stated that the move to spin off MoW into a separate entity will allow Verde to concentrate on its core business of producing and commercializing low-carbon specialty fertilizers.

    A Special Meeting of Shareholders will take place on Dec. 20, 2024, to vote on the approval of the Oby spin-off and the distribution of Oby shares to Verde’s shareholders.

    The MoW project has shown promising results through 3,640 meters of diamond core drilling, revealing significant quantities of magnetic and heavy rare earths in both grade and thickness. For more detailed results, Verde referenced press releases issued on October 7, October 29, and November 18, 2024.

    An independent resource calculation for MoW has also been commissioned and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

    Due to the project’s high potential and the substantial investments required for its development, the Board of Directors has determined that MoW should be pursued by an independent entity.
