Guardian Metal Resources plc confirmed “very high grade” tungsten and gallium mineralisation across multiple zones at the Tempiute project in south-central Nevada, USA.
EAST ZONE
The company has also staked 31 additional exploration targets at the site.
The assay results from fieldwork include “high grade” tungsten mineralisation along more than 1,300 metres strike length of outcropping skarn at Tempiute.
Guardian noted that the site hosted historic underground mining up to 350m below surface.
The company’s 2025 sampling additionally confirmed “significant” gallium results across the historically mined horizon with samples up to 90 ppm Ga.
Returns from the newly claimed exploration targets, named the East Zone, included up to 1.2% tungsten trioxide with 90 ppm gallium and 0.87% tungsten trioxide with 100 ppm gallium.
The East Zone represents a new “high-impact” underexplored area for future exploration.
New grab samples from ‘truck-ready’ historic ore stockpiles revealed up to 0.40% tungsten trioxide and 60 ppm gallium.
Auger sampling of Tempiute tailings identified “strongly elevated” results for gallium, tungsten and zinc down the entire 9.75m hole.
At the Worthington system, Guardian also returned high grade tungsten skarn mineralisation including up to 2.66% tungsten trioxide.
“These exciting results from Tempiute highlight how much untapped potential remains in one of America’s most historically significant tungsten districts,” said chief executive officer Oliver Friesen.
