Steadright Begins Exploration at Péribonka Ree-Niobium Carbonatite Target in Quebec's Niobium District
![]() | |||||||||
NSM CAPITAL SARL AMENDMENT APPROVED
Muskoka, Ontario – TheNewswire - November 12, 2026 – Steadright Critical Minerals Inc. (CSE: SCM) (“Steadright” or “SCM”) is pleased to announce that exploration is underway at the Péribonka Rare Earth Element (REE) and Niobium Carbonatite Target (the “Péribonka Project”) in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean Region of Québec. The project lies in the same district as The Niobec Mine, Canada’s only producing niobium mine.
Airborne Survey Complete
A helicopter-borne high-resolution magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometric survey has been flown over all 37 claims under the guidance of Magnor Exploration, covering 622 line-kilometres at 50 m line spacing. Results and interpretation are expected in the coming weeks and will be used to define targets for the first drill test of the Péribonka anomaly.
A Proven Carbonatite District
The Government of Québec has named the nearby Shipshaw carbonatite one of five priority carbonatite and alkaline systems in the Province for detailed geological study. Shipshaw lies on the prolific Waswanipi-Saguenay corridor, the district behind all of Canada’s niobium production. The other four systems are:
-
The Saint-Honoré Alkaline Complex: Home of the producing Niobec mine, roughly two kilometres from Shipshaw.
-
The Crevier Alkaline Intrusion: A recognized niobium and tantalum project north of Lac Saint-Jean.
-
The Grand Lac Brochet Carbonatite: An identified critical mineral system within the corridor.
-
The Girardville Carbonatite: Another key target prioritized for provincial study.
The selection underscores the strategic value of the Saguenay Region to Canada’s domestic supply of niobium and rare earth elements, and Québec’s intent to map and unlock one of the country’s most vital resource corridors.
The Péribonka Target
The Péribonka anomaly shows a geophysical signature similar to these known intrusions and has never been drilled, as it lies beneath sand and gravel cover. No carbonatite or REE-niobium mineralization has been confirmed at Péribonka to date. The new survey is the first modern, property-wide step toward testing it.
Amendment No. 2 to the NSM Capital SARL Shareholders’ Agreement
Steadright and Critical Foundation Metals Inc. (“CFM”) have signed a second amendment to the September 25, 2025 shareholders’ agreement that governs NSM Capital SARL. The first amendment was dated April 27, 2026. The new amendment replaces Articles 3.5 and 3.6 and updates how NSM’s shareholders make decisions:
-
Meetings (Article 3.5): Ordinary decisions still require shareholders holding more than half of the capital to be present or represented. Decisions on governance, management oversight or internal procedures now require the approval of both shareholders. Extraordinary resolutions require the approval of all shareholders.
-
Written resolutions (Article 3.6): Decisions may also be made in writing, with a consultation period of at least fifteen days. Governance and management matters require the agreement of both shareholders.
Disclosure
Steadright’s CEO holds an indirect interest of approximately 6% in CFM, through a 33% stake in a private company that owns approximately 18% of CFM’s common shares. Separately, a consultant to Steadright, who is the spouse of a former Steadright director, is, together with her immediate family, the controlling shareholder of CFM and owns a majority of its common shares.
Qualified Person
David M. Pollard, C. Geol., an independent qualified person (“QP”) under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release. Information on the Shipshaw, Saint-Honoré (Niobec), Crevier, Grand Lac Brochet and Girardville systems comes from publicly available sources. The QP has been unable to verify it, and it is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Péribonka Project. Péribonka is an early-stage exploration target, and there is no assurance that further work will confirm a carbonatite or REE-niobium mineralization.
