North Atlantic Titanium Corp. (CSE: NATO) (OTCQB: NATQ.F) (FSE: Y33) announced its membership in the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC), a collaborative initiative focused on advancing secure, innovative, and resilient solutions for the defense industrial base. The company will participate in research, technical discussions, and collaborative projects aimed at strengthening North American industrial-base capabilities, particularly for critical minerals such as titanium, vanadium, and phosphate.
The DIBC, established by the U.S. Department of War’s Warfighting Investments, Resourcing, and Execution (WIRE) directorate, operates under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) to enable rapid research, access to commercial solutions, and prototyping opportunities. Managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI), the consortium aims to diversify and expand the defense industrial base, allowing small and non-traditional businesses to collaborate with government entities. The DIBC OTA has a 10-year period of performance with no funding ceiling, supporting WIRE’s mission of addressing supply chain issues, developing the industrial workforce, and scaling emerging technologies.
Dwayne Yaretz, CEO and Director of North Atlantic Titanium, stated: “Joining the Defense Industrial Base Consortium reflects North Atlantic Titanium’s commitment to contributing to secure and resilient North American critical-mineral supply chains. Titanium, vanadium, and phosphate each have important industrial and strategic applications, and the Company looks forward to participating in technical collaboration, supply-chain discussions, and potential future critical-mineral opportunities.”
The company is focused on developing the Everett titanium-vanadium project in Québec, targeting high-quality titanium feedstocks with potential value-added vanadium and phosphate coproducts. Membership in the DIBC does not imply U.S. government endorsement, project approval, funding, or contract awards, but it positions North Atlantic Titanium to contribute to defense supply chain resilience. The company also holds a 100-per-cent interest in the Sleeping Giant South gold project in Québec.
North Atlantic Titanium will host a live investor webinar on July 6, 2026, at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT, featuring a deep dive and audience Q&A. Registration is available at https://bit.ly/NATO-webinar.
