Guardian Metal Resources plc has identified “high grade” gold, silver, base metals and “strong” antimony values from reanalysis of surface samples at its Garfield project in Nevada, USA.

The company has also staked a further 11 claims to the property which currently has four zones of Power Line, High Grade, Pamlico and Freeze.
Guardian said that previous results in January had been above the upper limit of detection for antimony, gold, silver and lead.
A Pamlico zone rock sample, collected in 2024, underwent overlimit analysis and returned 9.9 g/t gold, 1,105 g/t silver, 1.84% antimony and 2.45% lead as well as 3,920 parts per million copper and 890 ppm zinc.
“Follow-up geological investigation has determined that the previously reported high-grade samples from historical mines across the Freeze zone appear to be from related low-sulphidation epithermal vein structures,” added Guardian.
“These features are suggestive of a substantive epithermal system.
“A strike distance of over 4km is now covered by the Pamlico zone, Freeze zone, and Freeze East zones highlighting the potential scale of epithermal mineralisation that exists at Garfield.”
The findings prompted the company to stake the additional 11 mining claims to cover the Freeze East zone.
Guardian awaits further analysis results and continues talks over potential joint ventures or options for Garfield.
Sunrise Resources plc, which sold Garfield to Guardian’s founder Power Metal Resources plc, has a 2% net smelter royalty interest on the original project.
Power Metal currently retains a 19.46% interest in Guardian.
