Guardian Metal Strengthens Tempiute Development Strategy with Nevada Land and Water Rights Deal (GMET)June 17, 2026 3:23 AM
IH Market News Guardian Metal Resources (AMEX:GMTL) (USOTC:GMTLF) has expanded its strategic asset base in Nevada after acquiring Lincoln Estates Group LLC, a transaction that provides ownership of 841 acres of mixed-use land and annual water rights totalling 2,540 acre-feet. The assets are situated within 10 miles of the company’s Tempiute Tungsten Project and were acquired for US$1.3 million in cash through Guardian Metal’s U.S. subsidiary. Key Resources Secured Near Tempiute The acquisition is expected to play an important role in advancing the Tempiute project by securing critical infrastructure-related assets early in the development process. The land package and water rights are located close to the former producing mine and complement infrastructure established during previous operations in the 1980s. Management believes the transaction significantly enhances project readiness by ensuring access to essential water resources while providing additional flexibility for future development activities. The move also aligns with the company’s strategy of supporting a robust domestic tungsten supply chain in the United States, a metal increasingly viewed as strategically important for defence and industrial applications. Outlook Remains Influenced by Financial Performance While the acquisition strengthens the long-term development outlook, Guardian Metal continues to operate without meaningful revenue and remains loss-making, with free cash flow under pressure. A debt-free balance sheet provides some financial support, helping offset these challenges. Market indicators offer mixed signals. The shares remain above several key technical support levels, although weaker momentum readings suggest caution. Valuation metrics are also limited by the absence of earnings and dividend returns. More About Guardian Metal Resources Guardian Metal Resources is focused on the exploration and development of critical mineral projects in the United States, with a particular emphasis on tungsten. The company’s core assets, the Pilot Mountain and Tempiute projects in Nevada, are intended to help reduce U.S. dependence on imported supplies of this strategically important metal. In addition to advancing its project portfolio, Guardian Metal has secured backing from the U.S. government, including a US$6.2 million Defense Production Act award to support work at Pilot Mountain. The company broadened its capital markets profile in March 2026 through a listing on the NYSE American, alongside its existing London and OTCQB quotations.

Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Acquisition of Lincoln Estates & Water RightsJune 17, 2026 2:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireLONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2026 / Guardian Metal Resources plc (NYSE.A:GMTL)(LON:GMET)(OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic mineral exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Lincoln Estates Group LLC ("Lincoln Estates") which includes 841 acres of real property as well as 2,540 acre-feet of annual water rights. Lincoln Estates is located less than 10 miles from the Company's Tempiute Tungsten Project ("Tempiute" or the "Project"), located in south-central Nevada less than 250 miles (402 km) southeast of the Company's Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project. Tempiute, formerly known as the Emerson Tungsten Mine, is a significant past producing tungsten mine, which was originally discovered in 1916 and most recently operated during the 1980s.Securing water and land rights marks an important milestone for the Project as its various workstreams advance. Combined with Tempiute's existing infrastructure, this acquisition enhances the Project's development potential and advance Guardian Metal's goal of building a resilient U.S. domestic tungsten supply chain, reducing reliance on foreign sources while reinforcing economic and defense security.Acquisition Highlights:2,540 acre-feet per annum of water rights across three permits currently banked with the Lincoln County Water District.Approximately 841 acres of real property rights that are zoned for mixed use, commercial, industrial, and single family.Direct access off Highway 375, the same access highway for Tempiute.Guardian Metal retains the right to assign and/or transfer the beneficial interest in the water rights for use within the service area, which includes Tempiute.The acquisition of Lincoln Estates represents a key derisking milestone as the Company continues to advance Tempiute across multiple active workstreams.Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:"We believe securing these water and property rights materially de-risks and supports the accelerated advancement of the Tempiute Tungsten Project. These rights, together with the substantial infrastructure remaining from Tempiute's last period of operation in the 1980s, further strengthen the Project's foundation for redevelopment.Our on-site team continues to make meaningful progress across multiple workstreams, and this acquisition secures a range of strategic opportunities that will facilitate the next stages of project exploration and development. We look forward to providing further updates as these workstreams advance, including ongoing resource-focused drilling."Commercial Terms:The total purchase price for 100% ownership of Lincoln Estates is US$1.3 million, payable in cash, completed through Golden Metal Resources, LLC, one of the Company's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries.Forward Looking StatementsThis announcement contains forward-looking statements relating to expected or anticipated future events and anticipated results that are forward-looking in nature, and, as a result, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions, competition for qualified staff, the regulatory process and actions, technical issues, new legislation, potential delays or changes in plans, uncertainties resulting from operating in a new political jurisdiction, uncertainties regarding the results of exploration, the timing and granting of prospecting rights, the timing and granting of regulatory and other third party consents and approvals, Guardian Metal's or any third party's ability to execute and implement future plans, and the occurrence of unexpected events.Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company's filings with the SEC.

A Wartime Tungsten Mine the U.S. Government Wanted Drilled -- but Never Did -- Just Changed HandsJune 15, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Western Star Resources Inc.With China controlling the vast majority of the world's tungsten and a 2027 U.S. defense-procurement cliff approaching, a past-producing New Mexico mine with a 27.6% surface sample has become a strategic acquisition.Equity Insider News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In the 1950s, the United States government looked at a high-grade tungsten deposit in the New Mexico desert, judged it strategically important enough to co-fund, and signed a contract to pay 75% of the cost of sinking a shaft and drilling it out. Then the contract was never executed, the drilling never happened, and the deposit slipped back into obscurity for the better part of seventy years. Today, with tungsten reclassified as a critical mineral and a looming defense-procurement deadline forcing Washington to confront its near-total dependence on China, that same untested deposit has just been acquired by a company betting the moment has finally caught up with the rock.  Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) announced it has acquired a 100% interest in the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in Hidalgo County, New Mexico — a property with a documented wartime production history, eight tungsten-bearing skarn bodies exposed at surface, a recent government sample grading an extraordinary 27.6% tungsten trioxide, and the unusual distinction of being a deposit the U.S. government once formally agreed to help drill. For a company assembling a portfolio of past-producing American tungsten assets, it is the kind of acquisition designed to anchor a strategy around one of the most geopolitically charged metals on the periodic table.Key TakeawaysWestern Star Resources (CSE: WSR) acquired a 100% interest in the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in New Mexico — 24 contiguous lode claims in the Little Hatchet mining district — expanding its portfolio of U.S. tungsten assets into a new district.Recent USGS sampling returned a headline scheelite-bearing skarn grade of 27.6% WO3 (219,000 ppm tungsten) at surface, plus a roughly 0.98% molybdenum credit — confirming very high-grade mineralization that earlier work appears to have underestimated.The property is a documented past producer (~1,800 tons shipped during WWII at ~0.5% WO3), and in 1955 the U.S. government signed a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration contract to fund 75% of a shaft-and-drill program that was never carried out — leaving the core targets untested.Tungsten is a designated U.S. critical mineral; the United States has no domestic commercial production, and roughly 85% of global supply is controlled by China.The acquisition lands amid a sharp tightening in Western tungsten supply, alongside peers including Almonty Industries, Guardian Metal Resources, EQ Resources, and Energy Fuels.Why Tungsten Became a Strategic EmergencyTungsten rarely registers with the public, but it is one of the most quietly indispensable metals in the industrial and defense economy. It is the hardest naturally occurring metal by certain measures, with the highest melting point of any metal, which makes it essential for armor-piercing munitions, aerospace components, cutting tools, and a long list of advanced-manufacturing and energy applications. There is, for most of these uses, no good substitute. And the United States, despite that dependence, has no domestic commercial tungsten production — it imports what it needs, into a market where China controls an estimated 85% of global supply.That dependence has turned into a pressing vulnerability as the geopolitics have hardened. China has tightened export licensing on tungsten and other critical metals, and the price has responded violently: the benchmark ammonium paratungstate price in Rotterdam traded around US$3,185 per metric tonne unit in early May 2026, reported as roughly a 900% increase over the prior twelve months. Layered on top is a hard regulatory deadline — the DFARS 252.225-7052 procurement restriction, which from January 1, 2027 prohibits Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean-origin tungsten across much of the U.S. defense supply chain. In other words, the U.S. defense industrial base will soon be legally required to source tungsten from outside China, even though it currently produces none of its own. That gap is the entire investment thesis behind the domestic-tungsten developers, and it is why a past-producing American deposit suddenly looks strategic rather than historical.What Western Star Actually AcquiredEagle Point is not a greenfield gamble; it is a brownfield deposit with an unusually rich paper trail. Discovered in 1940 by a prospector hunting scheelite with an ultraviolet lamp — tungsten's signature mineral fluoresces under UV light — the property was examined repeatedly by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and U.S. Geological Survey across the 1940s and 1950s, and shipped roughly 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material to a government stockpile during the Second World War. Federal examiners at the time were encouraged by what they found, with one mid-century engineer concluding the mine could sustain a grade around 0.5% WO3 and operate as a low-cost open pit producing 100 tons or more per day.What has changed the picture is modern sampling. Recent USGS work, reported through New Mexico state geological data, returned a peak composite outcrop sample grading 27.6% WO3 — an exceptionally high grade for a surface sample — along with several additional skarn samples carrying anomalous to high-grade tungsten and elevated molybdenum. The highest-grade sample also returned approximately 0.98% molybdenum, raising the prospect of a co-product credit. The company has been careful to frame the property's history correctly: the deposit hosts eight separate skarn bodies exposed at surface over roughly 1,500 to 2,000 feet of strike, but historical drilling was minimal — only a few shallow holes near the main open cut — leaving the system effectively untested at depth and along strike using modern techniques.It is worth being precise about the numbers, because the company is. The mid-century tonnage figures — historical estimates on the order of 150,000 to 200,000 tons of scheelite-bearing tactite — are explicitly described as historical in nature. They predate and do not comply with NI 43-101, have not been verified by a qualified person as current mineral resources, and the company is not treating them as current resources or reserves. They are presented as a record of past work, not as a defined resource. That distinction matters, and the company's willingness to draw it clearly is a marker of disciplined disclosure rather than hype.The Contract That Never Got DrilledThe most intriguing feature of Eagle Point is the one that ties its past directly to the present moment. In 1955, the U.S. government — through the Defense Minerals Exploration Administration, a Cold War-era program created to spur domestic production of strategically vital minerals — drafted and signed a contract (Idm-E783, Docket DMEA-3701) agreeing to fund 75% of a program of shaft sinking and diamond drilling at Eagle Point. The government, in short, looked at this deposit during a previous period of tungsten anxiety and decided it was worth federal money to drill out. Then, for reasons lost to history, the contract was never executed and the planned drilling never happened.That detail is more than a historical curiosity. It means the deposit carries a federal stamp of strategic interest, and that the very exploration work the government once deemed worthwhile — testing the system at depth — has still never been done. "Eagle Point is the kind of asset you build a company around," said Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, pointing to the combination of high-grade tungsten, a documented production history, eight surface skarn bodies, and a tier-one U.S. jurisdiction in a deposit "never once … touched by modern exploration." He framed the federal backing pointedly: the deposit was "prospective enough that the U.S. Government approved and funded an exploration contract over it in the 1950s — one that was never drilled."The Plan From HereWestern Star intends to advance Eagle Point with the same systematic, modern toolkit it is applying across its U.S. tungsten portfolio — the kind of work the 1950s program never delivered. The proposed program centers on a property-wide, high-resolution drone magnetic survey to map the skarn-intrusive contact and generate drill targets; systematic rock-chip and soil geochemical sampling to follow up the high-grade USGS results and characterize the distribution of tungsten and molybdenum; and field mapping with ultraviolet fluorescence surveying to rapidly identify scheelite across the outcrops and dumps. The results are intended to prioritize targets and support the drill-permitting process that would, at long last, test the deposit at depth.The technical work carries the credibility of a named qualified person: the scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Jasper Mowatt, a qualified person under NI 43-101. And the timing aligns with the policy backdrop — recent U.S. directives prioritize fast-tracking domestic tungsten projects, with federal grants and defense-sector support potentially available for qualifying critical-mineral assets, exactly the category Eagle Point is positioned to fit.The Tungsten Names Investors Are WatchingWestern Star is one of a small group of public companies racing to build Western-aligned tungsten supply, and looking at the broader field helps frame both the scale of the opportunity and where an early-stage explorer sits within it.Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) is the bellwether of the entire sector. Described as the largest Western-aligned tungsten producer, Almonty began active mining at its Sangdong project in South Korea in late 2025 and has positioned itself as the anchor of a non-China tungsten supply chain for the U.S. and its allies, reporting sharp revenue growth and drawing bullish analyst coverage. Almonty illustrates the production-stage destination of the thesis — a company already turning the supply-security narrative into output and revenue — against which earlier-stage explorers like Western Star can be measured.Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL) (AIM: GMET) (OTCQB: GMTLF) may be the closest stage-and-geography comparison. The company is advancing U.S. tungsten projects — including its Pilot Mountain and Tempiute assets in Nevada — squarely on the domestic-supply thesis, and completed a U.S. listing on the NYSE American in March 2026. As another developer working to revive American tungsten in a tier-one jurisdiction, Guardian is a useful reference point for how the market values a U.S.-focused tungsten story that is advancing toward, but has not yet reached, production.EQ Resources Limited (ASX: EQR) (OTCPK: EQRMF) represents the established, non-China producer angle from the other side of the world. Operating the Mt Carbine tungsten project in Queensland, Australia and the Barruecopardo mine in Spain, EQ Resources is among the largest tungsten producers outside Chinese control — a reminder that the Western supply response spans multiple continents, and that allied production, not just U.S. production, is part of how the procurement gap gets filled.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) rounds out the group as the broader U.S. critical-minerals diversifier. Best known as a leading domestic uranium producer, Energy Fuels has expanded into rare earths and other critical minerals, positioning itself as a multi-commodity vehicle for the same reshoring wave driving tungsten. It illustrates how the critical-minerals theme that makes a tungsten deposit like Eagle Point strategically valuable extends across a whole basket of materials the U.S. is racing to source domestically. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they span different metals, jurisdictions, sizes, and stages, and Western Star sits among the earliest-stage, pre-resource names.The Opportunity and the CaveatsThe appeal of the Eagle Point acquisition is easy to articulate: a brownfield, past-producing tungsten deposit with high-grade surface samples, eight skarn bodies, a documented federal history, and a tier-one U.S. location, acquired precisely as a defense-procurement cliff and Chinese export controls turn domestic tungsten into a strategic priority. Few junior acquisitions check that many boxes at once.The caveats are equally important. Western Star is an early-stage exploration and development company; Eagle Point has no current, NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource, and the historical tonnage figures cannot be relied upon as current. The standout 27.6% WO3 result is a selective surface sample, not a representative grade for the deposit, and high-grade grab samples by their nature do not reflect what systematic drilling will ultimately define. The proposed work program — surveys, sampling, and eventual drilling — carries the usual exploration, permitting, and financing risks, and the company has not yet drilled the targets that would convert promise into a defined resource. Exploration outcomes are inherently uncertain, and investors should weigh the strategic appeal against that reality.Still, the larger trajectory is hard to dispute. A metal the U.S. cannot currently produce domestically, controlled overwhelmingly by a strategic rival, subject to a fast-approaching procurement deadline, with prices up enormously over the past year — that is a sector with powerful structural tailwinds. Western Star has responded by acquiring a deposit the U.S. government itself once wanted drilled, and positioning it at the center of an American critical-minerals platform. Whether Eagle Point ultimately delivers will be settled by the drill bit. But the strategic logic of owning high-grade, past-producing U.S. tungsten at this particular moment is about as clear as it gets in the junior-mining world.CONTINUED … Learn more about Western Star Resources Inc. at: https://equity-insider.com/wsr-landingSEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:

Guardian Metal Resources Expands Pilot Mountain Footprint With Discovery of New Tungsten Target (GMTL)June 4, 2026 3:57 AM
IH Market News Guardian Metal Resources (AMEX:GMTL) (USOTC:GMTLF) (LSE:GMET) has identified a previously unrecognised tungsten-bearing zone at its wholly owned Pilot Mountain project in Nevada, adding a new area of mineralisation outside the project’s existing resource base. The newly named Tremor Zone was encountered during condemnation drilling carried out to support infrastructure planning for Pilot Mountain’s ongoing pre-feasibility study. Initial results from drill hole PMR26-077 returned multiple tungsten intersections, including 13.68 metres grading 0.31% WO3 from a relatively shallow depth. Subsequent drilling has provided further evidence that the discovery may represent a significant addition to the project. Visual logging from several follow-up holes has confirmed the presence of tungsten-rich skarn mineralisation across an area extending roughly 400 metres along strike. Exploration remains at an early stage, with the zone still open in several directions and requiring additional drilling to determine its full extent. Although the Tremor Zone will not be included in the current pre-feasibility study due to the timing of the discovery, management believes the results highlight the untapped exploration potential across the broader Pilot Mountain property. The fact that the mineralisation lies within a royalty-free section of the project could further enhance its long-term economic significance. The discovery comes as demand for secure domestic supplies of critical minerals continues to grow in the United States. Guardian Metal is positioning Pilot Mountain as a strategic source of tungsten, a metal widely used in defence, aerospace and industrial applications. The company believes the emergence of the Tremor Zone strengthens the project’s potential role in supporting U.S. supply-chain security. Financially, the company continues to operate in a development phase, with limited revenue generation and ongoing losses affecting near-term performance. Free cash flow has also remained under pressure, although Guardian Metal benefits from a debt-free balance sheet. Market indicators offer a mixed picture, with the shares trading above key long-term moving averages despite weaker momentum signals. More About Guardian Metal Resources plc Guardian Metal Resources plc is a strategic minerals exploration company focused on advancing domestic tungsten production in the United States. Its flagship Pilot Mountain project in Nevada is regarded as one of the country’s largest undeveloped tungsten deposits, while the company’s Tempiute project represents another significant historical tungsten district. Listed in London, New York and on OTCQB, Guardian Metal is seeking to establish a secure U.S.-based supply of tungsten and other critical minerals that are essential to defence, manufacturing and advanced technology industries. The company’s development efforts have been supported by growing government interest in strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains.

Exploration remains at an early stage, with the zone still open in several directions and requiring additional drilling to determine its full extent. Although the Tremor Zone will not be included in the current pre-feasibility study due to the timing of the discovery, management believes the results highlight the untapped exploration potential across the broader Pilot Mountain property. The fact that the mineralisation lies within a royalty-free section of the project could further enhance its long-term economic significance. The discovery comes as demand for secure domestic supplies of critical minerals continues to grow in the United States. Guardian Metal is positioning Pilot Mountain as a strategic source of tungsten, a metal widely used in defence, aerospace and industrial applications. The company believes the emergence of the Tremor Zone strengthens the project’s potential role in supporting U.S. supply-chain security. Financially, the company continues to operate in a development phase, with limited revenue generation and ongoing losses affecting near-term performance. Free cash flow has also remained under pressure, although Guardian Metal benefits from a debt-free balance sheet. Market indicators offer a mixed picture, with the shares trading above key long-term moving averages despite weaker momentum signals. More About Guardian Metal Resources plc Guardian Metal Resources plc is a strategic minerals exploration company focused on advancing domestic tungsten production in the United States.

Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Discovery of Tremor Zone at Pilot MountainJune 4, 2026 2:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireLONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2026 / Guardian Metal Resources plc (NYSE.A:GMTL)(LON:GMET)(OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce the discovery of the "Tremor Zone", a newly identified mineralised zone, within the Company's 100%-owned Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project"), located in Nevada, USA. Following analysis of geological and geophysical datasets, the Company's in-house technical team identified the Tremor Zone area as one of the Project's priority exploration targets. The area was also being evaluated as a potential location for key mine infrastructure as part of the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS"). Condemnation drilling was therefore required across this blind target area, and the initial drill hole, utilising a reverse circulation ("RC") drill rig, intersected multiple intervals of tungsten-rich skarn mineralisation. The PFS, which is nearing completion, is being supported by a U.S. Department of War $6.2m Defense Production Act Title III investment¹ in Guardian Metal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC.As a critical defense metal, tungsten has been designated as a strategic priority by the U.S. government. Guardian Metal is focused on advancing its co-flagship projects, Tempiute and Pilot Mountain, to become key pillars of U.S. tungsten supply and help drive the reshoring of domestic mined production. This is intended to help the U.S. reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, strengthen economic and defense security, and deliver long-term value for shareholders.Highlights:The Tremor Zone is a newly discovered tungsten-skarn zone, identified by the Company's in-house technical team during condemnation drilling conducted at one of the Project's priority exploration targets in connection with the ongoing PFS.The initial Tremor Zone discovery drillhole, PMR26-077, intersected five distinct zones of tungsten-rich skarn mineralisation which include a highlight intercept of 13.68m of 0.31% WO3 from only 102.11m - 115.82m downhole (see Table 1) as well as 3.04m of 0.24% WO3 (from 83.83m), 4.56m of 0.16% WO3 (from 118.87m), 1.52m of 0.24% WO3 (from 143.26m), and 4.56m of 0.24% WO3 (from 152.4m). The Tremor Zone is classified as a blind discovery as it is obscured by alluvial cover and therefore does not directly outcrop at surface.Following the completion of RC drillhole PMR26-077, an additional drill rig was mobilised to the area to follow up and to test for any potential extensions. Subsequent drill holes PMR26-078, PMR26-079, PM26-088, PM26-096, and PM26-097 also intersected visually identified tungsten-bearing skarn over approximate widths of 12m, 28m, 66m, 14m and 38m respectively.*To date, the Tremor Zone has been delineated over approximately 400 metres of strike length, with drilling ongoing utilising two diamond drill core rigs targeting both infill and step-out drilling as the Tremor Zone remains open in multiple directions.While the Tremor Zone is at an early stage of drilling and will not be incorporated into the upcoming PFS, the Company has retained flexibility within its infrastructure planning to allow for its potential inclusion in future studies, subject to further drilling and technical evaluation.The Tremor Zone is located within a part of the Pilot Mountain Project that is entirely royalty free.The Tremor Zone results further support the Company's view that Pilot Mountain may contain further exploration potential, with multiple at-surface skarn zones, including Garnet, Good Hope and Gunmetal, yet to be fully tested, in addition to unnamed blind skarn targets generated by the Company's in-house exploration team.*No resource estimate has been prepared for the Tremor Zone and further drilling and evaluation will be required to determine its significance to the broader Pilot Mountain Project.Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:"The blind discovery of the Tremor Zone is a very exciting result for Guardian, coming at a time when we are advancing Pilot Mountain at pace across multiple engineering and exploration workstreams simultaneously. The fact that the Tremor Zone was identified during routine condemnation drilling across just one of the Project's multiple priority exploration target areas, highlights the untapped exploration potential that we believe exists at Pilot Mountain."We have always maintained that this Project remains largely underexplored, and the Tremor Zone is a compelling demonstration of that view. We look forward to announcing additional assay results as we continue to drill and define this new zone, while also advancing testing across the Project's other priority exploration targets, all in parallel with our ongoing PFS workstreams."Further DetailsDrillhole IDFrom (m)To (m)Length (m)WO3(%)Zn(%)Ag(ppm)PMR26-07783.8286.873.040.24 and102.11115.8213.680.31 and118.87123.444.560.160.22139.27and143.26144.781.520.240.40 and152.4156.974.560.240.4020.37Table 1: RC Drill Hole PMR26-077 Downhole ResultsReferencesCompany announcement, U.S. Department of Defense Awards $6.2M to Golden Metal Resources for the Pilot Mountain Project, dated 23 July 2025

The Metal China Controls Faces a 2027 U.S. Deadline -- and a Nevada Mine Just Made Its MoveJune 2, 2026 8:55 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2)VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary — Tungsten spent the better part of a decade as an afterthought in Western industrial policy—a metal everyone needed and almost no one outside China actually mined. That complacency is now colliding with a hard procurement deadline. After January 1, 2027, U.S. defense supply chains face restrictions on Chinese, Russian, Iranian and North Korean tungsten that reach from the mine all the way through finished powders, heavy alloys and magnets, a cliff written into DFARS 252.225-7052 and 10 U.S.C. §4872. The result has been a scramble to stand up non-Chinese supply, and a rerating of nearly every company with a credible path to producing the metal in a friendly jurisdiction. Against that backdrop, Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has taken a step that, on its own, looks procedural—but in this market is anything but. The company has engaged KC Harvey Environmental, LLC to lead drill-permitting at its 100%-owned, past-producing Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, and has opened formal dialogue with the U.S. Forest Service district that oversees the ground. For a junior explorer, the permitting clock and the procurement clock are now running in the same direction at the same time.See why Rowland is positioned for the tungsten supply squeeze — view the full Western Star investor briefing here.From the historical record to a federal applicationIn its June 3, 2026 release, Western Star confirmed it has retained KC Harvey Environmental to prepare and submit a Plan of Operations—USDA Forest Service form FS-2800-5, filed under 36 CFR 228A—covering the company's proposed Phase 2 drilling program at Rowland, and to manage the associated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review. The company has also begun engagement with the Jarbidge District Ranger of the Mountain City–Ruby Mountains–Jarbidge Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, the relevant federal authority for the property.The Plan of Operations is the principal authorization a company needs to drill on National Forest System lands, and it is the document on which a project's timeline frequently lives or dies. KC Harvey's scope, as described by the company, covers preparation of the Plan of Operations, supporting environmental baseline and reclamation planning, and coordination of the NEPA review with the Forest Service. Western Star says it intends to advance the federal application in parallel with state-level reclamation permitting and its ongoing Phase 1 and Phase 2 exploration programs at Rowland.The choice of consultant is itself a signal of intent. KC Harvey Environmental is a Bozeman, Montana–based firm specializing in mining permitting, reclamation and NEPA support across the western United States. Its mining services are led by founder Kevin Harvey, M.Sc., a board-certified professional soil scientist and the current president of the American Society of Mining and Reclamation. Bringing in a permitting specialist with that profile is the kind of move that tends to precede a serious push toward the drill bit rather than a placeholder filing."Engaging KC Harvey and opening dialogue with the Jarbidge District Ranger is the logical next step for Rowland," commented Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star. "With Phase 1 field work confirming a materially larger exploration opportunity than the historical record suggested, our priority is to advance permitting in parallel with exploration so we are positioned to drill test the Rowland targets without delay."That last point—permitting in parallel rather than in sequence—is the strategic core of the announcement. Juniors often treat permitting as something to start once the geology is fully de-risked. With a 2027 procurement cliff approaching and tungsten supply tight, Western Star is treating the regulatory pathway as a critical-path item to be advanced alongside the science, not after it.Why "previously disturbed" mattersRowland's history is not just color—it is potentially a permitting advantage. The property hosts three confirmed zones of historical tungsten workings, and the company expects that the extensive existing disturbance will support its case that the project area is previously disturbed ground. In NEPA terms, a site that has already seen mining activity can, in many cases, follow a more streamlined environmental review than a true greenfield disturbance, because the baseline conditions and reclamation considerations are different.The historical numbers at Rowland are modest in absolute terms but striking in grade. Recorded output includes roughly 4.5 tons grading 3.38% WO3 in 1943, and on the order of 1,000 tons at 0.5–1.0% WO3 in the mid-1950s—figures that speak to high-grade scheelite mineralization left behind when tungsten prices collapsed and cheaper Chinese supply took over. Those grades are precisely the kind of legacy that becomes interesting again when the metal trades at multiples of where it sat a few years ago, and when buyers will pay a premium for units that never touch a Chinese supply chain.Western Star's technical disclosure on Rowland has been reviewed and approved by Jasper Mowatt, MIMMM and MAusIMM, a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Investors should note that historical production figures pre-date modern reporting standards and have not been verified as current mineral resources; they are indicative of the tenor of past mining rather than a present-day resource estimate.Want the full picture on Rowland's high-grade history and Phase 2 targets? Explore the project breakdown here.A market that has changed beyond recognitionThe reason a single permitting engagement carries weight is the metal market behind it. According to Fastmarkets, ammonium paratungstate (APT) assessments for the 88.5% WO3 CIF Rotterdam and Baltimore duty-free benchmark climbed from roughly $900–940 per metric tonne unit in January to a $1,650–1,900 range by mid-February as buyers scrambled to secure units—moves that trace directly to China's control of more than three-quarters of global supply and its tightening export posture. Pricing has stayed volatile and elevated since, with some assessments through the spring running well above $3,000 per mtu even as softer Chinese domestic demand introduced two-way risk into the spot market.The policy layer reinforces the price signal. China's 2026 mining quotas are being cut a further 8%, deepening a cumulative reduction relative to 2024 levels, and S&P Global analysis cited in market commentary has noted that even a mine breaking ground today would struggle to deliver meaningful supply before about 2030. For Western buyers facing the 2027 DFARS procurement cliff, that timeline gap is the entire investment thesis: the demand is mandated, the lead times are long, and the qualified Western supply simply does not yet exist at scale.It is worth distinguishing the company's primary news date from this commentary. Western Star issued its KC Harvey announcement on June 3, 2026; this article is syndicated market commentary published by USA News Group on behalf of Market IQ Media Group, Inc. and should not be read as the company's own disclosure.Four tungsten names investors are watching alongside Western StarWestern Star sits at the early, pre-drill end of the tungsten spectrum, which makes the broader peer group useful context for understanding where capital is flowing as the reshoring trade matures. Four operators—spanning producers and developers across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia—illustrate the range.Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) is the name most often cited as the template for what a Western tungsten producer can become. In March 2026, Almonty completed Phase 1 commissioning of its Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea—back in production after more than three decades—with the plant designed to process around 640,000 tonnes of ore annually for roughly 2,300 tonnes of tungsten concentrate per year. A Phase 2 expansion slated for 2027 is designed to roughly double that output, with the company targeting supply of about 40% of global tungsten demand outside China. Almonty has relocated its corporate headquarters to Montana and frames Sangdong explicitly around U.S. defense procurement requirements that mandate non-China sourcing after 2027.Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL) (LON: GMET) (OTCQB: GMTLF) is arguably the closest structural and geographic comparison to Western Star. The company is advancing two past-producing Nevada tungsten projects—Pilot Mountain and Tempiute—and, per its May 6, 2026 update, is progressing a pre-feasibility study at Pilot Mountain supported by a U.S. Department of War $6.2 million Defense Production Act Title III investment, with a mine Plan of Operations targeted for submission to U.S. regulators in August 2026. Guardian completed a NYSE American listing on March 20, 2026. Its permitting-and-feasibility trajectory on Nevada ground is, in effect, a few steps ahead on the same road Western Star is now starting down at Rowland.EQ Resources Limited (ASX: EQR) rounds out the producer side from the Australia–Europe axis. Per its H1 FY2026 results, the company lifted half-year revenue 26% to A$43.96 million on tungsten concentrate production of 67,126 mtu across its Mt Carbine mine in Queensland and Barruecopardo mine in Spain, while narrowing its net loss sharply. Management has guided to a Mt Carbine ramp-up toward roughly 1,750 tonnes of WO3 annually by the end of 2026 as the operation moves into higher-grade in-situ ore. EQ underscores how operating leverage at an existing producer can swing results quickly when tungsten prices are running.American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) (FRA: RK90) is the closest peer on the explorer end of the spectrum. The company is advancing the IMA Mine Project in Lemhi County, Idaho—a past-producing underground tungsten mine on 22 patented claims that yielded approximately 199,449 mtu of WO3 between 1945 and 1957. American Tungsten is running a multi-rig drilling program to define a modern resource and assess a potential restart of underground operations, pursuing a phased strategy that begins with surface tailings before moving to underground rehabilitation. Like Western Star, its thesis rests on reactivating a high-grade historical asset rather than discovering one from scratch.Across all four, the common thread is the same one driving interest in Western Star: a Western jurisdiction, a defensible supply-chain story, and a buyer base that is increasingly willing—and in defense contexts, legally required—to pay up for non-Chinese tungsten.What to watch from hereFor Western Star specifically, the near-term catalysts now cluster around the permitting and exploration programs running in tandem. The company has said it will provide further updates upon submission of the Plan of Operations and as the NEPA review progresses—so the filing of the FS-2800-5 itself becomes the first concrete milestone to watch, followed by the Forest Service's determination on the appropriate level of environmental review. A streamlined pathway predicated on previously disturbed ground would be a meaningful de-risking event; a more involved review would extend the runway to drilling.Layered on top is the policy calendar. Canada's Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit framework, carried in Budget 2025 measures that received Royal Assent on March 26, 2026, offers a 30% credit stacked on top of the existing flow-through deduction structure for qualifying agreements—an increasingly relevant financing lever for tungsten-focused juniors looking to fund drill programs. And the 2027 federal procurement cliff continues to compress the window in which a credible, friendly-jurisdiction tungsten story can establish itself before defense buyers lock in their qualified suppliers.None of this changes the fundamental reality that Rowland remains an early-stage exploration property whose grades are documented in the historical record rather than a modern resource estimate. But the company's decision to put a specialist permitting consultant on the file and open the federal dialogue now—rather than wait—tells investors how Western Star reads the moment: a market where the scarce commodity may end up being not tungsten itself, but the time and permits required to bring Western ounces to surface before the deadline arrives.Stay ahead of the next Rowland milestone — get updates and the full Western Star story here.About Western Star ResourcesWestern Star Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration and development company whose objective is to increase shareholder value through cost-effective exploration, the acquisition of further exploration properties, and partnerships by joint venture or sale with industry leaders.

Tungsten's 557% Run Meets a District-Scale Critical-Minerals Story in British ColumbiaMay 26, 2026 10:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.Western governments are scrambling to rebuild non-Chinese tungsten supply as prices break century highs — and a 37,000-hectare project in BC just put itself in the conversationEquity Insider News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tungsten has done something almost no other metal has done this decade: ammonium paratungstate (APT) prices have surged roughly 557% since China added tungsten products to its export control list in February 2025, pushing the European benchmark toward US$2,250 per metric ton unit by March 2026[1].  The metal has outpaced gold and copper, and with China still controlling more than 80% of global tungsten production[2], every Western government and defense contractor is suddenly trying to figure out the same thing — where the next non-Chinese supply actually comes from.That question is now driving capital toward GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS), Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM), Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL), American Tungsten Corp. (OTCQB: TUNGF), and Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU).The policy backdrop is just as aggressive as the price chart. Canada's enhanced 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit was expanded to include tungsten under Bill C-15, which received Royal Assent on March 26, 2026, and applies to flow-through agreements entered into after November 4, 2025 and on or before March 31, 2027.South of the border, the U.S. Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS 252.225-7052) restricts the acquisition of tungsten metal powder and tungsten heavy alloy that has been mined, refined, separated, melted, or produced in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, with the full mine-to-finished-material restriction taking effect on January 1, 2027[3]. Capital is moving toward operators with land in friendly jurisdictions, drill-ready targets, and the geology to back it up — not toward concept stage stories five years out.GoldHaven Highlights Strategic Tungsten and Indium Exposure at MagnoOn May 25, 2026, GoldHaven issued a release highlighting the growing strategic significance of tungsten and indium at its district-scale Magno Project in northern British Columbia, situated within the Cassiar District and covering more than 37,000 hectares of ground prospective for carbonate replacement deposit (CRD), skarn, and porphyry mineralization."Global markets are increasingly recognizing the strategic importance of securing Western sources of tungsten and other critical minerals amid growing supply chain concerns," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "We believe Magno represents a district-scale critical minerals opportunity combining tungsten-bearing skarn systems, high-grade silver-zinc-lead CRD mineralization, and elevated indium values within one of Canada's premier mining jurisdictions. As we advance airborne geophysics, and 2026 drill targeting, we believe Magno continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a large-scale multi-phase mineralizing system with significant critical minerals potential."The technical case at Magno is built on four data points that matter for tungsten investors. First, multiple tungsten-bearing skarn targets have been identified across the property, with 2025 surface sampling returning values up to 6,550 ppm tungsten. Second, historical drilling and sampling at the Kuhn Zone reportedly returned intervals including 13.0 metres grading 0.55% WO3, 4.0 metres grading 1.32% WO3 and 0.26% MoS2, and 2.5 metres grading 0.95% WO3.Third, elevated indium values of up to 334 ppm have been identified within sphalerite-bearing mineralization — another China-dominated critical mineral with strategic significance for semiconductor and solar applications. Fourth, the project carries broader porphyry copper-molybdenum upside on top of its tungsten and silver-zinc-lead profile.The historical results referenced above were obtained from publicly available BC government assessment reports and have not been independently verified by GoldHaven or the Qualified Person, though management notes the data is being used to define and guide ongoing geological modelling and targeting work. The 2026 program is designed in part to confirm these historical results.With airborne geophysics already underway, GoldHaven is advancing permitting and exploration planning for a 2026 campaign expected to include drill testing across multiple high-priority tungsten-bearing skarn systems, silver-lead-zinc CRD zones, and porphyry copper-molybdenum targets identified across the project. The Magno Project remains at an exploration stage and additional work is required to determine the extent and economic significance of identified mineralization, but the package of attributes — district scale, multiple critical minerals, BC jurisdiction, drill-defined historical zones — fits cleanly into the criteria Western buyers are searching for.A full breakdown of the Magno target package, the 2026 drill plan, and the broader GoldHaven investor story is available here at Equity Insider.In the same release, GoldHaven also announced a one-month digital marketing services agreement with Machai Capital Inc. for an aggregate fee of $200,000 plus GST, payable from working capital and subject to CSE approval. The engagement is restricted to public awareness services and does not include investor relations or market-making.The technical and scientific information has been reviewed and approved by Raymond Wladichuk P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and a consultant of the Company.In other industry developments:Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) reported first quarter 2026 revenue of US$25.4 million on May 11, 2026 — a 221% year-over-year increase driven by a sharp rise in the spot price of tungsten APT and continued strong operational performance at the Panasqueira Mine in Portugal[4]. The quarter also marked the formal commissioning ceremony at the Sangdong Tungsten Mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea, on March 17, 2026, marking the completion of development and the transition of one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits toward commercial operations."Sangdong plays a critical role in efforts by the United States, the European Union and Korea to diversify away from the China-dominated market, which currently supplies more than 80% of the world's tungsten," said Lewis Black, CEO of Almonty. Phase 1 of Sangdong is designed to process approximately 640,000 tonnes of ore annually for roughly 2,300 tonnes of tungsten concentrate, with a planned Phase 2 expansion in 2027 doubling output to roughly 4,600 tonnes per year — enough to potentially supply approximately 40% of global tungsten demand outside China.Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE American: GMTL) provided a Pre-Feasibility Study progress update for its 100%-owned Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada on May 6, 2026. The PFS is being supported by a US$6.2 million U.S. Department of War Defense Production Act Title III investment in Guardian Metal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC[5]. Required drilling for resource evaluation at the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones is complete, and a mine Plan of Operations is targeted for submission to the BLM in August 2026."We are very pleased to report strong progress at Pilot Mountain," said Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal. The company completed its U.S. listing on the NYSE American on March 20, 2026, giving American investors direct access to one of the largest undeveloped tungsten deposits in the United States. Metallurgical work indicates a flotation circuit producing scheelite concentrate with potential silver and zinc by-products — a profile that, like Magno, brings polymetallic optionality alongside the primary tungsten thesis.For more on how GoldHaven stacks up against the peer set as the Western tungsten thesis builds, see the full investor briefing here at Equity Insider.American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization from initial Zero Level underground drilling at its IMA Mine in Lemhi County, Idaho on May 5, 2026. Highlight intercepts included 17.8 feet grading 0.435% WO3 and 1.16 oz/t Ag, 3.4 feet grading 1.02% WO3 and 0.84 oz/t Ag, and multiple tungsten-bearing polymetallic veins associated with the Main Ima vein system and a newly identified western vein."These initial underground drilling results from the Zero Level are highly encouraging and validate our approach to revitalizing the Ima Mine," said Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten. "Intersecting multiple high-grade tungsten-bearing veins, including both historical and newly identified structures, underscores the significant untapped potential of the property and reinforces our confidence as we advance our Phase 1 exploration program." The IMA Mine is a past-producing underground tungsten property that yielded approximately 199,449 metric ton units of WO3 between 1945 and 1957, with the historical tungsten-silver vein system also identified as containing a silver credit that management expects could help offset future operating costs — putting American Tungsten in the same brownfield, past-producing category as several of the Western tungsten reset candidates.Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) reported its first quarter 2026 results on May 6, 2026, marking the leadership transition from longtime CEO Mark Chalmers to newly appointed President and CEO Ross Bhappu. Energy Fuels is positioning itself as a vertically integrated U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals, with operations spanning the White Mesa Mill in Utah and a growing rare earth processing footprint."My immediate focus is disciplined execution — continuing to align our global teams, advancing development projects with a strong emphasis on schedule certainty and capital efficiency, and strengthening the operational foundation required to support sustained, long-term growth as a vertically integrated critical materials company," said Bhappu. Energy Fuels offers investors a producing-asset window into the broader U.S. critical minerals build-out — the same thematic GoldHaven is now positioning Magno against, just at a different point on the development curve.The thread running through all five names is the same: capital is repricing tungsten and adjacent critical minerals around a single assumption — that Chinese supply cannot be counted on, and that the Western mine pipeline has to be rebuilt from the ground up. Producers like Almonty are already monetizing the price move. PFS-stage operators like Guardian Metal are converting policy support into bankable engineering. Past-producing brownfields like American Tungsten and the broader U.S. tungsten reset are working back into resource definition. And exploration-stage, district-scale projects like GoldHaven's Magno — with tungsten, silver-zinc-lead CRD, indium, and porphyry copper-molybdenum targets across a single 37,000-hectare property — are exactly the kind of land package that fits the Western buyer profile if 2026 drilling validates the historical work.With airborne geophysics already in the air and drill targeting in design, the next twelve months at Magno will tell investors whether GoldHaven turns the policy-supported environment into actual delineation. The tungsten price chart has already made the case — the full GoldHaven story is available here at Equity Insider.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at: https://equity-insider.com/goh-landing/.CONTACT:

Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Tempiute Historical Mine Tailings UpdateMay 13, 2026 2:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireLONDON / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE.A:GMTL)(LON:GMET)(OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic mineral exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce an update relating to historical mine tailings present at the Company's Tempiute Tungsten Project ("Tempiute" or the "Project") located in south-central Nevada less than 250 miles (402 km) southeast of the Company's Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project. Tempiute, formerly known as the Emerson Tungsten Mine, is a significant past producing tungsten mine, which was originally discovered in 1916 and most recently operated during the 1980s. The Company is evaluating near-term resource and tungsten production opportunities across the extensive former producing mine, with the identification of tailings from decades of historical production adding a compelling new dimension to the Project.As a critical defense metal, tungsten has been designated as a strategic priority by the U.S. government. Guardian Metal's mission is to establish its co-flagship tungsten projects as the cornerstone of U.S. mined tungsten supply, directly supporting national efforts to re-establish domestic production. This is intended to help the U.S. reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, strengthen economic and defense security, and deliver long-term value for shareholders.Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:"Tempiute has a long and well-documented tungsten production history, and we believe the historical tailings represent a unique opportunity warranting further investigation, one that could provide near-term support to the U.S. tungsten supply chain alongside a meaningful reclamation outcome. Our initial assessment has confirmed the presence of tungsten across a substantial surface footprint. As a result we are advancing towards an auger drilling program which will help us better understand the characteristics of the material subsurface."With tungsten recognised as a critical defense metal and domestic supply a priority for the U.S. government, this work is very timely. Furthermore we are encouraged by the results of our investigations to date."HIGHLIGHTS Guardian Metal is evaluating the potential of recovering tungsten and other metals from the historic tailings at Tempiute, with a view to provide an opportunity for near-term, domestically sourced tungsten in the U.S. Through detailed mapping and sampling, the surface area footprint of historical tungsten-enriched mine tailings at Tempiute (the "Tempiute Tailings") has been determined to cover approximately 550 acres (2.23 km²). As a result, Guardian Metal has expanded its mineral rights position significantly, staking 193 claims and increasing its overall Tempiute footprint by over 375% to secure what the Company strongly believes to be the full extent of the Tempiute Tailings. This expansion runs parallel to the Company's appropriate environmental inquiry. An auger drilling program is planned to commence in June 2026, subject to receipt of required permits, and will enable characterization of the tailings material and surrounding soils for environmental evaluation and assessment of the tungsten resource potential. The combination of modern recovery methods and elevated tungsten prices makes this an increasingly compelling near-term domestic tungsten supply opportunity, while also offering a meaningful reclamation outcome. Previously milled material sitting at surface, combined with existing on-site infrastructure, means the cost and development timeline of a reprocessing operation could compare favourably to a conventional tungsten mining project, subject to confirmation of sufficient tailings tonnage and grade.BackgroundTo determine the economic and environmental remediation potential of historical mine tailings at Tempiute, the Company undertook a detailed mapping and sampling program across the entire historical mine tailings area.Evaluation of publicly available production records, dating back to the 1930s, was correlated with satellite imagery, spectral analysis, and ground mapping to identify the tailings footprint extending down slope from the Tempiute mine. Follow up ground investigation and surface sampling delineated a large tungsten-enriched zone and confirmed the extent of the historical mine tailings area to cover a surface footprint of approximately 550 acres (2.23 km²). Sampling also provided an initial characterisation of the material, verifying the presence of tungsten and other metals.As a result, Guardian Metal expanded its mineral rights position significantly, staking 193 mining claims and increasing the overall Tempiute Project footprint by over 375%, to secure what the Company believes to be the full extent of the historical tailings.Subject to receipt of the required permits, an auger drilling program is planned to commence in June 2026 to characterise the tailings material and surrounding soils for environmental evaluation and resource potential. This work will advance the Company's environmental inquiry and enable determination of the potential for a tungsten resource.Next StepsThe Company has submitted a Notice to the Bureau of Land Management and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for the proposed auger drilling program. Subject to approval, the auger drilling program is targeted to commence in June 2026 and is expected to take approximately three months to complete. The program is designed to allow the Company to make all appropriate inquiries regarding current environmental conditions on site, while estimating the total volume and grade of tungsten and base/precious-metal bearing material present.In parallel, an independent metallurgical study will be completed to determine the most effective method of recovering tungsten and other metals from the tailings, with results expected in the coming months. This study will also characterize the geochemistry of the tailings post tungsten recovery to inform the final reclamation design of the site.This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014 (which forms part of domestic UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018).

America’s Tungsten Wake-Up Call: Guardian Metal Resources Targets a Critical Supply Chain GapMay 7, 2026 6:30 AM
IH Market News For years, tungsten has operated quietly in the background of the global economy, essential to defense systems, aerospace engineering, industrial manufacturing, and advanced technologies, yet rarely discussed outside specialist circles.That is changing fast.As the United States intensifies efforts to secure domestic critical mineral supply chains, tungsten is emerging as one of the most strategically important metals in the market today. And Guardian Metal Resources (AMEX:GMTL) (USOTC:GMTLF) (LSE:GMET) is positioning itself to become a major part of that story.In a recent interview on Capital Compass, CEO Oliver Friesen laid out the company’s vision for building a US-based tungsten production platform centered around two key Nevada projects: Pilot Mountain and Tempiute.Speaking with host Ricki Lee, Friesen described tungsten as one of the most critical metals in today’s geopolitical environment, particularly as concerns grow around America’s reliance on foreign-controlled supply.A Strategic Metal the US Can’t IgnoreTungsten’s importance comes down to both performance and security.The metal is prized for its exceptional hardness, density, and heat resistance, making it essential in military equipment, aerospace components, industrial cutting tools, electronics, and emerging advanced technologies.But despite its strategic value, global supply remains highly concentrated.According to Friesen, roughly 90% of the world’s tungsten supply currently comes from China, Russia, and North Korea,  a reality that has created significant concern across Washington and the broader defense industrial base.At a time when the US is actively working to reduce dependence on overseas critical minerals, tungsten is increasingly being viewed as a national security priority.“It’s a metal that we have not invested in for many decades because of Chinese dominance,” Friesen explained. “Guardian is looking to change that.”Rebuilding Domestic Tungsten ProductionGuardian Metal Resources believes it has an opportunity to help restore American tungsten production through its Nevada asset portfolio.Its flagship Pilot Mountain project is considered one of the largest undeveloped tungsten resources in the United States and carries historic significance as a past-producing mine that supported the US during World War II.Located in Nevada, one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions, the project combines scale, infrastructure, and favourable permitting conditions in a state with deep mining expertise.Friesen said the company believes Pilot Mountain could become the next major tungsten producer in the country, with production potentially beginning before the end of 2028.The project has already attracted strategic support tied to the US defense industrial base, including a U.S. $6.2 million investment from the Department of War DPA III office.That backing reflects the growing urgency around securing reliable domestic sources of critical materials.Nevada at the Center of America’s Critical Minerals PushGuardian’s broader strategy extends beyond a single mine.The company also controls the Tempiute tungsten project, formerly one of the largest active tungsten mines in the United States during the 1980s.The mine ultimately closed after China flooded the global market with lower-cost supply, a pattern that reshaped the industry for decades.Now, with supply chain resilience becoming a central issue for policymakers and manufacturers alike, Guardian sees an opportunity to bring both projects back into production as part of a broader American mining resurgence.Friesen emphasized that Nevada provides a major competitive advantage.“There was no better place to be than Nevada,” he said, pointing to the state’s mining-friendly environment, established infrastructure, and experienced workforce.The company also believes growing federal support for domestic critical minerals development could help accelerate project advancement.Building an American Tungsten Supply ChainPartnerships are another key pillar of Guardian’s strategy.The company has signed a non-binding offtake LOI with Global Tungsten & Powders, which operates the largest tungsten processing facility outside China in Towanda, Pennsylvania.The goal is to help establish a fully integrated “mined and processed in America” tungsten supply chain capable of supporting both private industry and national defense needs.Friesen stressed that Guardian wants to work alongside US-based partners throughout the value chain, from mining and processing through to finished tungsten products.Positioned for a Long-Term OpportunityAs Washington continues prioritizing domestic manufacturing, defense readiness, and critical mineral independence, tungsten appears increasingly likely to become a major strategic focus.For investors, Guardian Metal Resources offers exposure to a sector benefiting from strong geopolitical tailwinds, growing government attention, and rising awareness around supply chain vulnerabilities.With two advanced Nevada projects, access to US capital markets through its New York Stock Exchange listing, and growing strategic visibility, Guardian is aiming to position itself as a future cornerstone of America’s domestic tungsten industry.If current trends continue, tungsten may no longer remain one of the market’s overlooked metals, and companies capable of delivering secure American supply could become increasingly important in the years ahead.For more information visit – https://guardianmetalresources.com/ Original: America’s Tungsten Wake-Up Call: Guardian Metal

Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Pilot Mountain Pre-Feasibility Progress UpdateMay 6, 2026 2:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireLONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE.A:GMTL)(LON:GMET)(OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased to provide a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") progress update on its 100%-owned Pilot Mountain tungsten project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project") located in Nevada, USA. The Company reports strong progress across all key PFS workstreams which are progressing as planned.The PFS is being supported by a U.S. Department of War $6.2m Defense Production Act Title III investment1 in Guardian Metal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC, and is led by Guardian Metal's in-house team in collaboration with Samuel Engineering Inc., and a group of specialist engineering and environmental firms.Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:"We are very pleased to report strong progress at Pilot Mountain. Key PFS workstreams are advancing very well, and upon completion, the Company will move swiftly into both the mine permitting phase and commence workstreams to support the Definitive Feasibility Study, marking the next significant step in the Project's development."Alongside the strong engineering progress presented herein, encouraging visual results from the Garnet Zone, Desert Scheelite Zone (East), and the commencement of drilling at the Good Hope Zone continue to support the Project's largely unrealised exploration potential."Guardian Metal continues to make the progress required to deliver the first new hard-rock mined source of tungsten on U.S. soil in more than a decade."PFS Highlights: Resource Evaluation Update: All drilling required to support the ongoing resource evaluation work at the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones has been completed. The final PFS results are expected to include the outcomes of the ongoing resource evaluation workstreams from both of these target zones. Mine Planning: The Project is currently being evaluated as a conventional open-pit operation, sourcing feed from both the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones. Mine design and optimisation are advancing in line with the planned PFS schedule. Permitting: The mine Plan of Operations, which will initiate the National Environmental Policy Act process upon submission to the Bureau of Land Management, is being drafted and developed in parallel with the PFS and is currently targeted for submission in August 2026. Metallurgy: Flowsheet development is well advanced, with preliminary test work results to date suggestive of a conventional flotation circuit capable of producing a scheelite concentrate. Workstreams relating to potential by-product recovery of silver and/or zinc are ongoing and also progressing well. Engineering: Siting studies are complete and the engineering team is advancing plant layout design, open-pit mine plans, and site infrastructure layouts. The process plant is currently expected to comprise a conventional flotation facility, with onsite temporary power generation currently expected for initial operations, with grid connection to follow thereafter. Hydrogeology: Phase I drilling and monitoring well installation is complete. Phase II, which includes additional monitoring wells, piezometers and a production well, has commenced and will provide the groundwater modelling data required for mine permitting.Exploration Update Garnet Zone: Infill drilling at the Garnet Zone is complete. Several drillholes returned encouraging visual intersections of scheelite mineralisation, consistent with the style of tungsten mineralisation typically encountered at the Desert Scheelite Zone. Resource evaluation work is ongoing. Good Hope Zone: Initial holes GH26-01 and GH26-02 at the Good Hope target have been completed which returned encouraging visual scheelite mineralised intersections. Analytical results are pending. Gunmetal Zone: Several drill sites are now permitted and drill pad preparation is nearing completion. Drilling is expected to begin before the end of June 2026, marking Guardian Metal's first ever drilling at this target zone, an area being evaluated for additional tungsten resources. Desert Scheelite Zone (East): The eastern strike extension of Desert Scheelite is under investigation through ongoing exploration and condemnation drilling. In particular, PMR26-077 was collared approximately 300m east of the expected eastern open-pit limit, and intersected visual scheelite mineralisation. Additional drillholes are planned in the short term to further evaluate this target area. The main Desert Scheelite deposit remains open to the east, west and down dip, with further exploration drilling targeting these areas expected throughout Q2 and Q3 2026. Comprehensive Exploration Update: The Company intends to publish a comprehensive exploration update following PFS completion, incorporating results from all active target areas which is expected to demonstrate the continued potential for resource growth across the broader Pilot Mountain land package.ReferencesCompany announcement, U.S. Department of Defense Awards $6.2M to Golden Metal Resources for the Pilot Mountain Project, dated 23 July 2025
