Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Garfield - High-Grade Antimony-Gold Assay
Guardian Metal Resources (GMTLF) has announced significant exploration results from its 100% owned Garfield project in Nevada's Walker Lane Mineral Belt. A recent sampling at the 'Pamlico Zone' revealed exceptional mineral content, with Sample CJ0079 showing overlimit values for antimony (>1%), gold (>10g/t), silver (>100g/t), and lead (>1%), along with 3,920ppm copper.
The 2023-2024 sampling program has identified the Pamlico Zone as a significant mineralized area, representing a new deposit style that spans between low-sulphidation to high sulphidation silver-gold system. Previous samples from late 2023 yielded high-grade gold results ranging from 4.98 g/t to 18 g/t Au.
The discovery is particularly notable as antimony is classified as a critical defense metal, with the United States actively seeking to reduce foreign import dependence. The company maintains its primary focus on tungsten while recognizing the strategic importance of antimony potential in its portfolio.
Guardian Metal Resources (GMTLF) ha annunciato risultati significativi di esplorazione dal suo progetto Garfield interamente posseduto nella Walker Lane Mineral Belt del Nevada. Un recente campionamento nella 'Pamlico Zone' ha rivelato un eccezionale contenuto minerale, con il Campione CJ0079 che ha mostrato valori oltre il limite per antimonio (>1%), oro (>10g/t), argento (>100g/t) e piombo (>1%), insieme a 3.920ppm di rame.
Il programma di campionamento 2023-2024 ha identificato la Pamlico Zone come un'area mineralizzata significativa, rappresentando un nuovo stile di deposito che si estende da un sistema argento-oro a bassa sulfidazione a uno ad alta sulfidazione. I campioni precedenti della fine del 2023 hanno evidenziato risultati di oro di alta qualità che variano da 4,98 g/t a 18 g/t Au.
La scoperta è particolarmente notevole poiché l'antimonio è classificato come un metallo critico per la difesa, con gli Stati Uniti che cercano attivamente di ridurre la dipendenza dalle importazioni estere. La società mantiene il suo focus primario sul tungsteno, pur riconoscendo l'importanza strategica del potenziale antimonio nel proprio portafoglio.

Guardian Metal Resources (GMTLF)는 네바다의 워커 레인 광물 벨트에 있는 100% 소유의 가필드 프로젝트에서 중요한 탐험 결과를 발표했습니다. 'Pamlico Zone'에서의 최근 샘플링에서 안티모니(>1%), 금(>10g/t), 은(>100g/t), 납(>1%)에 대한 한계를 초과하는 뛰어난 광물 함량이 드러났으며, 구리(Cu)는 3,920ppm이 발견되었습니다.
2023-2024 샘플링 프로그램은 Pamlico Zone을 중요한 광물화된 지역으로 식별했으며, 이는 저황화와 고황화 은-금 시스템 사이의 새로운 매장 스타일을 나타냅니다. 2023년 말의 이전 샘플은 4.98 g/t에서 18 g/t Au에 이르는 고급 금 결과를 보여주었습니다.
이번 발견은 안티모니가 방위 금속으로 분류되어 미국이 외국 의존도를 줄이기 위해 적극적으로 노력하고 있는 점에서 특히 주목할 만합니다. 회사는 주로 텅스텐에 초점을 맞추면서도 자산 포트폴리오에서 안티모니의 전략적 중요성을 인식하고 있습니다.

Guardian Metal Resources (GMTLF) hat bedeutende Explorationsresultate aus seinem zu 100 % im Besitz befindlichen Garfield-Projekt im Walker Lane Mineralgürtel in Nevada bekannt gegeben. Eine kürzlich durchgeführte Probenahme in der 'Pamlico Zone' ergab einen außergewöhnlichen Mineralgehalt, wobei die Probe CJ0079 überlimitierte Werte für Antimon (>1%), Gold (>10g/t), Silber (>100g/t) und Blei (>1%) sowie 3.920ppm Kupfer zeigte.
Das Probenahmeprogramm 2023-2024 hat die Pamlico Zone als bedeutendes mineralisiertes Gebiet identifiziert, das einen neuen Ablagerungsstil darstellt, der zwischen einem niedrig- und hochschwefelhaltigen Silber- und Goldsystem variert. Frühere Proben aus Ende 2023 ergaben hochwertige Goldwerte im Bereich von 4,98 g/t bis 18 g/t Au.
Die Entdeckung ist besonders bemerkenswert, da Antimon als kritisches Verteidigungsmetall eingestuft wird und die Vereinigten Staaten aktiv versuchen, die Abhängigkeit von ausländischen Importen zu reduzieren. Das Unternehmen konzentriert sich primär auf Tungsten, erkennt jedoch die strategische Bedeutung des Antimonpotenzials in seinem Portfolio an.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / January 8, 2025 / Guardian Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET)(OTCQX:GMTLF), a strategic development and mineral exploration company focused on Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce an exploration update at the Company's
BACKGROUND
Guardian Metal's technical team recently completed a geological site visit with a focus on assessing the high-grade gold potential of the 'Pamlico Zone' in the south of the Project area. This work followed on from the late 2023 prospecting and rock sampling work over the same area, where all five samples collected returned high grade gold results (ranging 4.98 g/t Au up to 18 g/t Au, Table 1) with silver and copper (results announced 9 January 20241 and 23 January 2024).
HIGHLIGHTS
Sample CJ0079 has returned overlimit antimony (>10,000g/t or
1% ), gold (>10g/t), silver (>100g/t), lead (>10,000 or1% ) as well as 3,920ppm Cu (Table 1).Guardian Metal has instructed the laboratory to complete the required analytical methods to determine the final assay results for the above overlimit metals.
The 'Pamlico Zone' is emerging as an increasingly significant mineralised area with not only high-grade gold and base-metal mineralisation, but also very attractive antimony potential.
The 2023 and 2024 results place the 'Pamlico Zone' along the continuum between a low-sulphidation to high sulphidation silver-gold system; representing a new deposit style not previously identified at Garfield.
Alongside the Company's primary focus on tungsten, antimony is of interest as it is a critical defence metal for which the United States is prioritising a reduction in import reliance from foreign suppliers.
Select results from the Pamlico Zone including the five previously collected samples along with the recent sampling include:

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:
"We are highly encouraged by the latest exploration results from our Garfield Project, particularly the emerging significance of the Pamlico Zone - a target organically generated and staked by our technical team resulting in royalty free
"Antimony's critical importance as a defence metal, coupled with the U.S. focus on reducing reliance on foreign imports, places Guardian Metal in a unique position to contribute to domestic supply chains. While tungsten remains our primary focus, this antimony result highlights the strategic importance of our entire project portfolio. We remain committed to maximising the value of Garfield for our shareholders while aligning with national priorities for critical mineral independence."
GEOLOGY UPDATE
Analytical and visual results from the 'Pamlico Zone' have shed new light on the geological potential of Garfield. In particular, along with the overlimit antimony, gold, and silver results which displayed classic quartz-colloform low-sulphidation epithermal textures (Figure 1), the latest sample results display strong epithermal style elemental correlations, in the base and trace metals As (arsenic), Bi (bismuth), Cu (copper), Pb (lead), Zn (zinc), Sb (antinomy) and Mo (molybdenum). These correlations place the Pamlico Zone along the continuum between a low-sulphidation gold and high-sulphidation silver-gold system.
