  • Canter Resources (CSE: CRC, OTC: CNRCF) discusses potential impact of tariffs on lithium and boron markets.
  • Upcoming tariffs may boost domestic investment in critical U.S. metal projects.
  • Significant $1 billion DOE funding for Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge Project near Canter's Columbus Project.

Canter Resources Corp. (CSE: CRC, OTC: CNRCF) has provided updates regarding the effects of potential tariffs on the lithium and boron markets. With escalating trade restrictions, the company emphasizes the increased importance of domestic critical metals projects in the U.S., particularly after a $1 billion funding package from the U.S. Department of Energy for Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge Project. Rhyolite Ridge is situated just 27 kilometers south of Canter’s Columbus Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada.

The Company anticipates that these trade restrictions could hasten domestic investment in critical mineral initiatives, thereby supporting the supply chains of electric vehicle batteries and advanced technologies. The importance of boron is underscored as it is expected to be added to the USGS Critical Metals List by 2025, driven by rising demand in sectors like agriculture, semiconductors, and clean energy.

Additionally, Canter Resources has released key corporate updates. There will be a virtual Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2025, further participation in the Fastmarkets Lithium Conference, and the granting of 2,400,000 stock options at $0.07 per share to directors, officers, and consultants.

The strategic proximity of Canter’s Columbus Project to Ioneer's recently updated mineral resource estimate at Rhyolite Ridge emphasizes the potential for substantial returns, particularly given the flexibility of boron as a co-product, which can stabilize revenue even when lithium prices waver.

Canter’s focus on advancing its lithium-boron projects aligns with the growing market requirements for these materials, vital for developing technologies in the electric vehicle, clean energy, and defense sectors.
