James Tuer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson, commented, “We believe that our Sarfartoq project represents one of the highest quality, most undervalued, rare earth projects on the TSX Venture Exchange. Accordingly, we are looking forward to working with Brisco to actively engage the investment community, in order that our company and its inherent value might be best communicated and fully appreciated.”
