Assays to date from the first 13 holes includes the best yet intercept of 39.3m @ 0.735% tungsten trioxide, 39.7g/t silver, 0.44% copper and 0.30% zinc from 66m downhole.
Results from the continuing campaign will also support the pre-feasibility study for which detailed planning with engineers is underway.
“Drilling at our 100% owned Pilot Mountain project is progressing very well,” said chief executive Oliver Friesen.
“In addition, our Tempiute [mine and mill] due diligence is progressing rapidly, including rock verification sample results, which are expected this week.
“As a team we are looking forward to finishing 2024 strongly, and going forward, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformational year for the company as we continue to grab the US tungsten mantle and work towards supporting the US tungsten onshoring efforts.”
Pilot Mountain and Tempiute tungsten mine and mill are located between Reno and Las Vegas.
