SDRC hired WFEM no earlier than Q2 2023.
Before this date, SDRC’s mining contractor was Groundhog Mining and Milling. WFEM was not mentioned publicly by SDRC before August 2023/Q2. According to Q1 filings, SDRC disclosed that Groundhog had submitted a comprehensive mining plan for 2023 and beyond. 1 quarter later, it is said that WFEM had agreed with this mining plan, stating specifically: “Absolutely do not conduct a surface drill program. Get on the vein as they plan and go after it.”

SDRC has mentioned WFEM and/or geologist Steve Dobson so far in 4 publications:

WFEM’s website www.wfmining.com was launched March 2023.
Domain registered 11-28-2022: https://www.whois.com/whois/wfmining.com
The timing of the creation of this company and this website suggest that the services they offer may be influenced by the known needs and plans of SDRC. Western Frontier lists four specializations on their website: Exploration, Mine Development Services, Production Mining Services, and Abandoned Mine Services.

WFEM’s first instagram post was January 7 2022.

A commenter on this post mentions the picture was taken at a mine previously worked by Anaconda. Anaconda Copper is a famous mining company out of Montana.

There is a Maggie Jo Dobson following WFEM’s instagram page.
Records show she was born in August 1992 (31 years old), from San Antonio TX, and is related to a Steven Dobson, 68 years old. Records also show that this relative of her’s Steven Dobson has a middle name (Craig) and is from Schertz, TX. This same Maggie Dobson was found on facebook posting an obituary for her Grandpa, Russell Verle Dobson, who died this year in May. He is survived by a son named Steven. Russel Verle Dobson was Married in Elko, NV, The same municipality Western Frontier is incorporated under. Russel Verle Dobson had a long career in Mining, including working as a mine engineer for Anaconda Copper, the previously mentioned mine in Western Frontier’s first instagram post. He lived in Utah and Montana. If this is truly Steve Dobson's dad, Steve Craig Dobson has a strong pedigree in mining from his father Russell.

Follow up with Dan Hally / Matthew Dailey
The above Steve Craig was brought up to Dan Hally via email to which he replied “That’s not him” with no further information. Could he be mistaken? I have since emailed and messaged (via Linkedin) Matthew Dailey, asking for a CV, or some kind of past job history / list of qualifications of our new geologist Steve Dobson. No answers so far. Will update.
