VANCOUVER, May 12, 2021 - Defense Metals Corp. (TSXV: DEFN) (OTCQB: DFMTF) (FSE: 35D) ("Defense Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of its common shares ("Common Shares") and warrants to purchase common shares ("Warrants") to institutional investors only for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of Cdn$5.0 million (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company will issue 15,625,000 Common Shares and Warrants to purchase up to 15,625,000 Common Shares at a purchase price of Cdn$0.32 per Common Share and associated Warrant.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the private placement in the United States.

The Common Shares and Warrants to be issued under the Private Placement will be qualified by way of a prospectus supplement under the Company's base shelf prospectus dated May 4, 2021 (collectively, the "Prospectus Supplement") which supplement will be filed in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. In the United States, the Common Shares, Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be offered on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and any applicable state securities laws.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used by the Company in order to complete a preliminary economic assessment for the Wicheeda Project, conduct an exploration program and further environmental studies on the Wicheeda Property, formalize a contract to build a hydrometallurgical pilot plant and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Details as to the specific allocation of the proceeds will be disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement.

The Company expects the Closing Date to occur on or about May 17, 2021. The Company has applied to list the Common Shares issued in the Private Placement and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Private Placement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including, the acceptance of the TSXV.
