Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) filed a Competent Person's Report for the Bihor Sud polymetallic exploration project in Romania on March 18, 2026. The CPR, prepared by Addison Mining Services, reports extensive underground mineralisation and maps a potential mineralised zone of roughly 6 km north–south and similar east–west extent.
Field mapping, sampling and historical rock chips show high anomalous grades (up to 28% Ni, >6% Co, and up to 17.75 ppm Au). CPR is based on a desktop study and a QP site visit in September 2025.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) announced that the Swedish Mining Inspectorate recommended approval of its Exploitation Concession application for the 100% company-owned Norra Kärr heavy rare earth elements project and has submitted the application to the Swedish Government for a final decision.
The deposit is described as one of Europe’s richest HREE resources, with an initial 26-year mine life estimated to produce approximately 248 tonnes of dysprosium oxide and 36 tonnes of terbium oxide annually while developing only 30% of the defined resource.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) subsidiary Greenna Mineral AB signed an MoU with Ascension Earth Resources to assess heavy rare earth element (HREE) recovery from Norra Kärr eudialyte.
The evaluation covers sample analysis, leach testing, preliminary processing concepts and commercial feasibility, with a potential larger pilot if results are successful.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) reported 2025 Romanian exploration results showing extensive underground polymetallic and uranium-related mineralisation across the Bihor Sud licence. Mapping and channel sampling in galleries G2 and G7 returned multiple significant intercepts (examples: 15.0m @ 0.91% Pb, 0.83% Zn; 10.0m @ 1.55% Pb, 1.59% Zn), and fieldwork suggests a potentially connected mineralised footprint of roughly 6 km by 6 km. The company commissioned a JORC Competent Person Report and completed 720 channel and 443 drill-related samples, with assays processed at ALS labs.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) reported fiscal 2025 results for the year ended October 31, 2025.

During FY2025 the company issued 17,738,500 units at C$0.16 for gross proceeds of C$2,838,160 and applied for a 25-year Exploitation Concession for the Norra Kärr project. Woxna graphite is maintained on a “production-ready” basis while a Norra Kärr PFS is targeted for completion in 2026. Management cautioned additional capital will be required to restart operations or advance major projects.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) announced it was accepted as a Project Partner by EIT RawMaterials on December 14, 2025.

Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) announced that the County Administrative Boards of Jönköping and Östergötland have endorsed Greenna Minerals AB’s application for an Exploitation Concession (25-year mining lease) for Norra Kärr on December 3, 2025. This endorsement means the permit application will proceed to a decision by the Swedish Mining Inspectorate rather than the government.
The company noted this endorsement is a significant consultation milestone but is not a final permit; an environmental permit (addressing water and other impacts) is still required before development can proceed.
Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB: LEMIF) provided a progress update on its Norra Kärr heavy rare earths project in Sweden and reiterated the deposit's strategic importance to Europe amid a global HREE shortage. Norra Kärr is estimated to produce 248 t Dysprosium and 36 t Terbium oxides annually over an initial 26-year mine life while exploiting only 30% of the defined resource. A mining lease application (25-year) is under review by Swedish authorities and supplementary information was circulated to local county boards in October. Workstreams include SGS Lakefield metallurgical testwork, an upgrade to the mineral resource estimate, and community engagement via a Project Café. The company highlighted a 65% reduction in operational footprint by removing on-site chemical processing.
