Vancouver, B.C. March 30, 2026 — Armory Mining Corp. has submitted an application to become a member of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), signaling a deliberate effort to connect its mineral projects to national security and defence supply needs. The company, a Canadian exploration outfit focused on minerals that feed modern energy and defence technologies, frames this initiative as part of a wider plan to integrate its assets into secure supply chains and to engage directly with policymakers, military stakeholders and industry partners.
The move to engage with CADSI is positioned as a strategic touchpoint for the company to better understand defence-driven procurement and preferences. By seeking membership, Armory Mining intends to increase its visibility in forums where discussions around strategic minerals and resilient sourcing occur, and to exchange technical and policy insight with established players across the Canadian and North American defence ecosystem. This step also underscores the company’s objective to support allied security priorities while developing its exploration projects.

Why CADSI matters to a mineral explorer
CADSI functions as a national convener for the defence, security and cyber sectors, providing networking, policy dialogue and technical workshops. For a junior explorer, access to these channels can clarify demand signals for materials such as lithium and antimony, inform project development priorities, and help align commercial strategies with government procurement cycles. Armory Mining hopes that CADSI membership will create opportunities to present its technical capabilities and project data to potential partners and end-users, which could ultimately influence how its resources are advanced toward market readiness.
Linking projects to defence needs
Armory Mining controls an 80% interest in the Candela II lithium brine project in the Incahuasi Salar, Salta Province, Argentina, and holds 100% interests in the Ammo and Riley Creek projects, both described as antimony-gold targets situated in Nova Scotia and British Columbia respectively. These assets are highlighted as potentially relevant to technologies used in energy storage and certain defence applications. Through CADSI, the company aims to better map how those commodities might fit into long-term strategic sourcing plans for Canada and its partners.
Company perspective and anticipated benefits
Alex Klenman, Chief Executive Officer of Armory Mining Corp., outlines the rationale behind the application as a desire to align with national security priorities and to respond to evolving geopolitical pressures that affect global mineral flows. The company expects participation in CADSI to improve its insight into procurement trends, regulatory developments, and partnership pathways that can accelerate project advancement while enhancing the resilience of supply chains for critical inputs. Engagement with industry associations is presented as a means to make the company’s exploration programs more relevant to end-user requirements.
Engagement beyond membership
Beyond joining CADSI, Armory Mining says it will pursue dialogue with additional North American institutions to broaden strategic relationships. The company emphasizes that working alongside government and defence stakeholders can inform technical work programs and resource planning. This collaborative approach is designed to ensure that project development considers defence-driven demand and contributes to a secure materials base for technologies that underpin national and allied security.
