Guardian Metal Resources PLC on Friday said it expects a ‘steady flow of assay results’ throughout its drilling programme at Tempiute, as it said it is advancing both of its Nevada tungsten assets in parallel. The Nevada-focused tungsten exploration company said it has commenced its first ever diamond drilling programme targeting multiple brownfield targets at Tempiute. Guardian’s Tempiute project is located 250 miles southeast of its Pilot Mountain project in Nevada. Drilling is set to focus on along-strike extensions of previously mined orebodies confirmed by surface geological mapping, said the company, coupled with new skarn zones defined along the eastern contract zone. Guardian Metal has planned for 19 drill targets under phase one of the programme, it said, with phase two targets to be defined as the results from the initial phase are obtained. Chief Executive Oliver Friesen said the company expects a ‘steady flow’ of assay results during the programme, owing to the close proximity of the ALS facility in Reno. Shares in Guardian Metal were 1.5% higher at 80.00 pence on Friday morning in London. ‘Our team is very excited to have commenced the first diamond drilling programme at Tempiute since the 1980s. With multiple brownfield targets identified through detailed mapping, as well as newly defined zones along the eastern contact, this campaign provides a rare opportunity to test highly prospective ground in one of Nevada’s most important historical tungsten districts,’ said Chief Executive Oliver Friesen. ‘Combined with the momentum already building at Pilot Mountain, we are advancing both of our Nevada tungsten assets in parallel, firmly positioning Guardian Metal at the centre of US efforts to strengthen domestic critical mineral supply chains,’ Friesen continued.
