Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Exploration Results For Non-Core Portfolio Including White Elephant, Pilot North, Cinch, And Garfield Projects

Guardian Metal Resources PLC announced updates across its non-core Nevada-based project portfolio. The Company's non-core project portfolio now comprises seven exploration-stage projects highly prospective for tungsten (W), gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu) and lithium (Li), which includes the following: White Elephant (W): Newly acquired by claim staking; strong tungsten channel sampling results achieved. Pilot North (W-Cu-Ag): Strategic location near to the Company's Pilot Mountain tungsten project now further enlarged by claim staking; strong tungsten, copper and silver channel and grab sample results achieved. Cinch (W-Ag): Newly acquired by claim staking; strong tungsten and silver grab sample results achieved. Garfield (Au-Ag-Cu): Enlarged by claim staking; strong gold, copper, silver results achieved. Golconda (Au). Stonewall (Ag-Au). Kibby Basin (Li). The Company has acquired the White Elephant tungsten project in Elko County, Nevada, through the direct staking of 57 new BLM lode mining claims. Assay results have been received for initial rock chip samples and chip channel sampling across outcropping scheelite-mineralised skarns, returning significant tungsten grades including 95 ft (29.0 m) @ 0.31% WO3. At the Pilot North tungsten-copper-silver project, which is located less than 20 miles away from Guardian Metal's Pilot Mountain tungsten project, the Company has received results for rock chip samples and 210 ft (64 m) of both machine-cut and chip channel samples across various outcropping tungsten skarns. The Company also directly staked an additional 8 new BLM lode mining claims to further expand the project. Channel sampling returned significant tungsten assays, including 95 ft (29.0 m) @ 0.18% WO3, complemented by several high-grade W-Cu-Ag grab sample results. The Company has also acquired the new Cinch tungsten-silver project, North Lincoln County, Nevada, through direct claim staking of 20 new BLM lode mining claims. The Company has received the assay results for rock chip samples from initial reconnaissance field work. Significant tungsten and silver assay results were obtained including 0.22% WO3 and 1,950 g/t Ag. At the Garfield gold-silver-copper project, following a geological mapping campaign the Company has directly staked an additional 56 BLM lode mining claims to cover the new "Freeze South" and "Mother" zones and has received the assay results for rock chip samples from these new zones, including 180 ft (55 m) of chip channel samples. Significant gold, copper and silver assay results were obtained including 11.2 g/t Au; 8.55 g/t Au & 7.1% Cu; 7.2 g/t Au, 114 g/t Ag & 2.3% Cu; 4.2 g/t Au & 5.1% Cu; 4.1 g/t Au & 310 g/t Ag. 57 BLM lode mining claims directly staked, forming the newly named White Elephant tungsten project. Initial field work has mapped multiple areas of skarn mineralisation at granite-limestone contacts, historical exploration activity and mines, including a historical mill site. During the Company's field assessment, rock chip samples from across the project and 184 ft (56 m) of chip channels were collected (from 5 channels at the "Pyramid Zone"), where skarn mineralisation was mapped over a strike length of 1000 ft, or 305 m. Highlight individual rock chip samples from outcropping skarn include: 0.96% WO3; 0.26% WO3; and 0.23% WO3. Highlight chip channel samples include: 40 ft (12.2 m) @ 0.17% WO3; 95 ft (29.0 m) @ 0.31% WO3 (which includes: 20 ft (6.1 m) @ 0.44% WO3 and 15 ft (4.6 m) @ 0.47% WO3; and 10 ft (3.0 m) @ 0.50% WO3 with >0.7% Mo (includes overlimit). True thicknesses are unknown at this time. Recent detailed geological mapping has outlined over 4,000 ft (1.2 km) strike length of outcropping skarn mineralisation across the "Negroni", "Muller Mountain", and "Western Metal" zones. This includes identification of new zones of skarn mineralisation previously unknown to the Company. Highlight rock chip samples from newly identified zones include: 0.15% WO3 & >1% Cu (overlimit); 0.11% WO3 & >1% Cu (overlimit); 425 g/t Ag & >1% Cu (overlimit); 213 g/t Ag & >1% Cu (overlimit). A total of 210 ft (64 m) of machine-cut and chip channel samples were collected across 5 different channels in the "Negroni", "Muller Mountain" and "Western Metal" zones. Highlight intervals include: 95 ft (29.0 m) @ 0.18% WO3; 45 ft (13.7 m) @ 0.10% WO3, 5.7 g/t Ag and 0.14% Cu; 5 ft (1.5 m) @ 100 g/t Ag and >1% Cu; 25 ft (7.6 m) @ 0.11% WO3, 14 g/t Ag and >0.69% Cu (includes overlimit). True thicknesses are unknown at this time. Project enlarged with an additional 8 new BLM lode Mining Claims covering areas of identified skarn mineralisation. 20 BLM lode mining claims directly staked across the Cinch tungsten-silver project area. Highlight grab samples from reconnaissance fieldwork include 0.22% WO3 from a brecciated fault zone, and 1,950 g/t Ag and 0.7 g/t Au from quartz vein material in mine dumps. Geological mapping has identified further epithermal precious metal mineralised structures and broad alteration footprint in the "Freeze South" and "High grade" zones, as well as an area of broader epithermal stockwork veining and mineralisation in highly silicified rhyolites in the "Mother" zone. The Company immediately acted to stake 56 new BLM lode mining claims to acquire the new "Freeze South" and "Mother" zones. Highlight rock chip assay results from the field mapping campaign include: 11.2 g/t Au; 8.55 g/t Au & 7.1% Cu; 7.2 g/t Au, 114 g/t Ag & 2.3% Cu; 4.2 g/t Au & 5.1% Cu; 4.1 g/t Au & 310 g/t Ag. A 180 ft (54.9 m) chip channel sample of oxidised rhyolites from the "Freeze North" zone returned an average of 0.064 g/t Au, including 80 ft (24.4 m) @ 0.1 g/t Au, highlighting broader scale bulk minable-heap leach potential.
