What's Happening?
Guardian Metal Resources has announced the confirmation of high-grade tungsten mineralization at its Pilot Mountain project in Nevada. The latest assay results from the Desert Scheelite zone reveal significant widths of tungsten, copper, silver, and zinc mineralization. The project, supported by a $6.2 million award from the US Department of Defense, is crucial for supplying tungsten, a key defense metal used in armor-piercing projectiles. Guardian Metal Resources is advancing its tungsten projects in Nevada, including the Tempiute project.

Why It's Important?
The confirmation of high-grade tungsten zones at Pilot Mountain is significant for the US defense industry, which relies on tungsten for critical applications. The project's development could reduce dependence on foreign tungsten supplies, particularly from China, which dominates global production. Guardian Metal Resources' progress in Nevada positions the company as a key player in the domestic tungsten market, potentially influencing US defense contracts and mineral resource strategies.
What's Next?
Guardian Metal Resources plans to commence drilling at the Garnet zone and Tempiute project, with multiple rigs mobilized across its Nevada-based tungsten projects. The company aims to deliver 'Mined in America' tungsten to the US market, enhancing domestic supply chains. Stakeholders will be watching for further assay results and developments in project financing and production timelines, which could impact the company's market position and strategic partnerships.
