The AIM-traded company said it had staked an additional 42 Bureau of Land Management lode claims, bringing the total to 101 and increasing the project’s footprint to about 2,086 acres.
It said the move followed a 22-sample reconnaissance programme that returned assays of up to 940 parts per million tungsten, 5.71% copper, 619 grams per tonne silver, 3.45% zinc and notable bismuth and antimony grades.
Pilot North, located 15 kilometres northwest of Guardian’s flagship Pilot Mountain project, now covers four historical World War II-era tungsten mines.
A follow-up geological mapping and sampling programme had been completed, with results pending.
“Early results from Pilot North have surpassed our expectations, confirming significant tungsten grades alongside copper, silver, zinc and other critical metals,” said chief executive Oliver Friesen.
“With the 100% owned, royalty-free footprint now expanded to more than 2,000 acres and encompassing multiple historical tungsten mines, we believe we have added another key building block to our nearby Pilot Mountain tungsten project, advancing our goal of delivering a secure, Mined-in-America source of tungsten to the U.S. industrial base.”
At 1425 BST, shares in Guardian Metal Resources were up 1.09% at 55.6p.
