A Supply Crisis Is Brewing in the Metals That Power EverythingApril 29, 2026 10:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington just confirmed what the market already suspected. A formal national security investigation found that America's dependence on imported critical minerals has become a direct threat to its defense and industrial base, and that no single Western country can fix the problem alone[1]. That finding landed while tungsten, one of the most strategically sensitive metals on Earth, was already in freefall on the supply side. Chinese export controls have drained Western inventories to critically low levels and sent processing prices from around $300 to over $1,775 per metric tonne unit in barely a year[2]. Five companies are now positioned across the metals at the center of this structural realignment: GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII), Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), and Kingfisher Metals (TSXV: KFR) (OTCQB: KGFMF).
The silver market tells the same story from a different angle. The Silver Institute's 2026 World Silver Survey confirms a sixth consecutive annual supply deficit, with cumulative shortfalls since 2021 now exceeding 800 million ounces as demand from electrification, AI infrastructure, and defense keeps pulling ahead of production[3]. Building a new mine takes an average of 17 years from discovery to first output, which means the only projects capable of delivering supply within the current deficit window are advanced explorers with near-term drill catalysts already in the pipeline[4].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has hired Dias Airborne Limited to fly a 1,741 line-kilometre high-resolution magnetic survey over its flagship Magno Project in northern British Columbia, with the program expected to launch in June 2026. The company also recently closed an oversubscribed flow-through financing totaling approximately $2.04 million to fully fund the upcoming drill campaign.It will be the first modern property-wide geophysical survey across the full Magno land package, which now spans more than 37,200 hectares after GoldHaven recently filed a technical report on three newly acquired mineral claims added to the Magno Project. The airborne program will scan the Magno Zone, Kuhn Zone, and D Zone at tight 100-metre line spacing, targeting corridors where surface sampling has returned silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne, tungsten up to 6,550 parts per million, and indium concentrations as high as 334 parts per million.GoldHaven selected Dias based on geological similarities between Magno and Hercules Metals' Leviathan discovery in Idaho, where the same QMAGT sensor platform helped identify concealed drill targets that led to discovery. The technology uses superconducting quantum interference device sensors to capture the full tensor of the Earth's magnetic field, delivering sharper resolution than conventional surveys. GoldHaven is also evaluating a follow-on ground-based 3D IP survey to refine subsurface targeting ahead of drill mobilization."This survey represents a major step forward in systematically unlocking the district-scale potential of Magno," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "By integrating modern high-resolution geophysics with our growing geological database and 2025 surface discoveries, we believe we are significantly improving our ability to define high-confidence drill targets across multiple mineralized systems at Magno."GoldHaven has already submitted its drill permit application for a 2026 program targeting three high-grade zones carrying silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, and indium mineralization. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments, and Canada currently has no primary domestic tungsten production.Beyond British Columbia, GoldHaven is advancing its Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, where the company recently completed its first diamond drilling program confirming gold and copper anomalism. Phase 2 drilling is planned for mid-Q2 2026. Between Magno and a 123,900-hectare Brazilian portfolio spanning three projects, GoldHaven offers diversified discovery exposure at a stage where most juniors remain locked into a single asset.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at:https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/In other industry developments:Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to Dillon, Montana, positioning the company closer to U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and industrial partners following its Nasdaq listing and US$90 million IPO in July 2025 and a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025. The move accompanies the acquisition of Montana's Gentung Tungsten Project, expected to restart production in 2026, and deepens Almonty Industries' strategic alignment with U.S. critical mineral supply chain security."Relocating our headquarters to the United States is not merely symbolic," said Lewis Black, Chairman, President and CEO of Almonty Industries. "It reflects who we are – as Montana is the location of our recently acquired Gentung Tungsten Project – and where our future lies. Our investors, customers, and strategic partners are here because they recognize the urgency of building a Western tungsten supply chain free from Chinese dependence."Almonty Industries operates the Sangdong Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits, as well as projects in Portugal and Spain. With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track for restart, the company is targeting a dominant position in the global non-Chinese tungsten supply chain.Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR) has secured a long-term lease for the Niagara copper-silver project in Shoshone County, Idaho, adding a historic resource estimate of approximately 150 million pounds of copper and 8 million ounces of silver to its district-scale Murray Gold Belt landholdings. The Niagara deposit is a Revett-type sediment-hosted deposit located approximately 7 kilometers from Idaho Strategic Resources' producing Golden Chest Mine, with the company holding all adjacent unpatented mineral claims."The Niagara deposit is a natural fit for our Company in many ways," said John Swallow, President and CEO of Idaho Strategic Resources. "In addition to broadening IDR's commodity asset base as our country enters a strong secular commodity market, it also serves as a prime example of the potential of the overall MGB District."The lease begins at $18,000 annually, escalating at 3% per year over an initial 10-year term with extension options, and includes a 2% net smelter royalty with a $1,000,000 buyback option on 1%. Idaho Strategic Resources has planned a 2026 drill campaign to upgrade historic resource confidence and test mineral continuity along strike, down dip, and within the untested lower-middle Revett Formation.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) reported the third batch of drill results from its Langis 2026 drill program at the Langis silver project in Ontario, Canada, including hole LM-26-290 with a 0.50-metre sample grading 82,334 g/t silver containing abundant native silver, representing the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the company and among the highest silver grades ever reported globally. The hole returned 11.35 metres averaging 4,560 g/t silver, with multiple additional bonanza-grade intercepts reported across the program."We are excited to report the third batch of drill results from the Langis 2026 drill program," said Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals. "These results are extraordinary and are among the most significant silver drilled intercepts known to the company globally. Hole LM-26-290 has delivered an exceptional result, highlighted by 82,334 g/t silver from a 0.50m core length sample containing abundant native silver."Brixton Metals is advancing the Langis silver project in Ontario alongside its Thorn copper-gold-silver project in British Columbia, with ongoing drilling at Langis aimed at delineating the extent of bonanza-grade mineralization and establishing a mineral resource estimate.Kingfisher Metals (TSXV: KFR) (OTCQB: KGFMF) outlined a new porphyry drill target at the Turquoise area of its 933 km² HWY 37 Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, characterized by a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly supported by magnetic vector amplitude, DC resistivity, and Mobile MagnetoTellurics inversion datasets. The near-surface target is drill-ready and located approximately 6 km from existing highway infrastructure, with porphyry-proximal indications including advanced argillic mineralogy and elevated pyrite abundance at the geophysical core domain."The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle," said Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher Metals. "The target is located within the emerging Hank–Mary district and only ~6 km from existing infrastructure."The Turquoise target sits approximately 3.4 km east of the Hank porphyry discovery hole drilled in 2025 and expands the prospective footprint across the HWY 37 Project. Kingfisher Metals plans to drill the Turquoise target in summer 2026 as part of a disciplined program building a pipeline of high-quality targets across its large land package in the Golden Triangle.FURTHER READING: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/CONTACT:

Original: A Supply Crisis Is Brewing in the Metals That Power Everything

Kingfisher Metals Confirms Early Jurassic Porphyry Mineralization Across Hank-Mary District, a Fertile Window Between Mitchell Cu-Au and Brucejack Au-Ag DepositsApril 28, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireMultiple U-Pb and Re-Os dates between 190-186 Ma establish that the Hank-Mary district formed within a minimum 4-million-year period during a key regional gold-rich mineralization window. The closest age porphyry deposit is Mitchell (KSM), the largest Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and the closest age epithermal deposit is Brucejack Au-Ag.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new U-Pb zircon and Re-Os molybdenum geochronology results from the Hank-Mary district on its 933 km² HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The initial results demonstrate that magmatic-hydrothermal activity across the Hank-Mary district is part of highly fertile and gold-rich mineralizing time in the region. These dates overlap with established ages for the Mitchell porphyry deposit at the nearby KSM project, the largest undeveloped Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and is close to the age of the Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposit (Table 1 & Figure 1 - 3).Key Highlights:Similar age as Mitchell Cu-Au porphyry deposit: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190-186 Ma) overlaps with the Mitchell deposit (~196-189 Ma).Similar timing to Brucejack Au-Ag epithermal deposit: Epithermal gold mineralization at Hank (~188-184 Ma) ties closely with the Brucejack deposit (~184-183 Ma).One large system: Ages from Hank, Mary, and Williams all fall within the same range, suggesting a single, large mineralizing system that defines the district.Geological age as a fertility indicator: These ages match the Early Jurassic Texas Creek intrusive suite of rocks, known for hosting major porphyry deposits in the Golden Triangle.Dustin Perry, CEO and President of Kingfisher, states, "These initial geochronology results validate our exploration model and confirm our belief that the Hank-Mary district represents a large, fertile porphyry system. The confirmation that mineralization across Hank, Mary, and Williams falls within the same Early Jurassic window as the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits highlights strong parallels to two of the most significant gold-rich systems in Canada." Figure 1: Regional map of the Golden Triangle showing the location of Kingfisher's HWY 37 Project (Hank district) relative to Seabridge Gold's KSM Project (Mitchell deposit) within the Sulphurets District.1Geochronology ResultsTwo complementary dating methods applied across the Hank district from three studies:U-Pb zircon geochronology constrains the crystallization age of host intrusions, the timing of magma emplacement, and is performed on zircon mineral separates from intrusive rock samples.Re-Os molybdenite geochronology directly dates ore-forming hydrothermal events by measuring the radioactive decay of rhenium to osmium in molybdenite (MoS2), a common porphyry mineral. Molybdenite often precipitates from later-stage hydrothermal fluids during mineralization, Re-Os ages are interpreted to reflect the youngest ages of porphyry mineralization. The results in Table 1 present new data from the British Columbia Geological Survey research by Roddy Campbell presented at Rock Talk 20262, new data from Kingfisher Metals and includes one previous result from the Williams deposit.Table 1: Geochronology results from the Hank porphyry district, HWY 37 Project.

Figure 3: Major magmatic and mineralization age groups in the Golden Triangle region (after Campbell, 2026, British Columbia Geological Survey). Hank-Mary and KSM data shown for comparison.MitchellThe Mitchell deposit (KSM project) has an interpreted span of mineralization ~192 to 190 Ma with youngest magmatism ending around 189 Ma4. Early results from the Hank district indicate porphyry mineralization is between 190 and 186 Ma, with overlap in age with the Mitchell porphyry. Mitchell is the closest in age porphyry system in the region, located approximately 75 km from Hank, and is Canada's largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit. This time window is considered highly prospective.BrucejackEpithermal gold at Hank emplaced after ~188 and before 184 Ma5. This timing ties closely with the nearby Brucejack deposit, where epithermal Au - veins are formed between 184-183 Ma6. Brucejack is the only known system in the region with this timing, making it a strong analogue for Hank. However, more work is needed to better define the exact age of gold mineralization at Hank.Background: Geological Age and Porphyry FertilityNew and recently published geochronology places the Hank district in one of the most fertile periods in BC, between Mitchell porphyry (KSM) and Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposits. Within these prospective time windows in the region, multiple deposits can be mineralized simultaneously across a large district that is fed by a common district-scale magmatic hydrothermal system.Geological age is a powerful predictor of porphyry copper-gold and epithermal Au-Ag fertility. In the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, some of the most significant Cu-Au porphyry deposits and epithermal Au-Ag deposits which include the world-class KSM system and nearby Brucejack deposit are genetically linked to Early Jurassic (~196-185 Ma) Texas Creek magmatism (Figure 3).Qualified PersonTechnical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Tyler Caswell, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of Kingfisher, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects.About Kingfisher Metals Corp.Kingfisher Metals Corp.
