Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Agreement to Purchase Pilot Mountain Water Rights
Guardian Metal Progresses Towards its Goal to Develop Tungsten Production in the USA
Guardian Metal Progresses Towards its Goal to Develop Tungsten Production in the USA
Guardian Metal Resources plc (AIM:GMET)(OTCQX:GMTLF), a mineral exploration company focused on tungsten within Nevada, USA, announces an important update regarding its 100% owned flagship Pilot Mountain Project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project") located in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA. The purchase of water rights marks a pivotal Project milestone as we progress toward our goal of supporting domestic U.S. production of tungsten, which is a critical industrial and military metal essential to national security, and reinforces the Company's commitment to rapidly advancing its projects within the USA.
A definitive water rights purchase and sale agreement has been executed between Pilot Metals Inc. ("Pilot"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Metal, and Belmont Resources Inc. ("Belmont") for water Permit 87850 located in the Kibby Basin Valley, Nevada, which is directly adjacent to the Company's Pilot Mountain Project.
Highlights:
Water rights over Permit 87850 include production of 1,447.94 acre feet annually and consumptive use of 130.055 acre feet annually for mining, milling and domestic use per year.
Water access from Permit 87850 will be from the Company's 100% owned millsite claims which are located less than 3km from where projected Pilot Mountain mining infrastructure would be built.
Purchase of Permit 87850 represents a significant development and derisking milestone for the Project as the use of water is essential for supporting mine development and ongoing operations as the Project progresses.
With power infrastructure available nearby, well-maintained roads connecting to the site, and now with the purchase of water rights, the Project represents a low-capex option for domestic U.S. tungsten production.
Commercial Terms
The purchase price for Permit 87850 includes US$350,000 which has been paid to Belmont, and a further US$200,000, which is payable at completion on or before 31 January 2025. On completion, 100% of the rights held by Permit 87850 will be transferred to Pilot.
Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:
"Water rights are a crucial requirement for mine development and ongoing operations. When the opportunity arose to purchase the water rights within the basin directly adjacent to Pilot Mountain we jumped at the opportunity as this represents a significant derisking step for our flagship asset. With these rights now in hand, we push forward with further confidence towards our goal of being the only domestic U.S. miner of the critical defense metal, tungsten."
