Mineral Road Discovery Inc. has moved into the technical execution phase of its strategic development program at the Bergslagen Tungsten Project in Sweden.

Following a strategic review, Mineral Road has engaged Nordic geological consultancy GeoPool Oy to consolidate historical data and support upcoming field operations. The initial work program targets historical surface tailings at Yxsjöberg, with systematic drilling and sampling designed to establish tonnage, grade distribution, mineralogy, and metallurgical characteristics.

The company intends to commence the tailings drilling before the end of 2026, subject to permit acquisition, and ultimately progress the technical information toward an initial NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate. Alongside the tailings work, GeoPool is compiling a historical hard-rock exploration database to build a modern 3D model of the deep multi-commodity system.

“Our immediate priority is the surface tailings. They are already pre-crushed at surface, and historical records indicate that they warrant systematic investigation. The drilling and metallurgical work will tell us whether there is a sufficiently consistent and recoverable tungsten inventory to support a near-term operation. Simultaneously, we are building a robust 3D model of the deep hard-rock system to guide our longer-term growth.”

Mineral Road acquired the Bergslagen project in May 2025 through an agreement covering eight historical mineral concessions near Ludvika. In addition to the technical advancement, the company appointed Steve Leahy to its Board of Directors. Leahy founded North American Tungsten Corp. and led the financing, acquisition, and operation of the Cantung Tungsten Mine, which at its peak supplied approximately 4% of global tungsten output.

Activity across the region is also advancing, with rock chip assay results of up to 32.99% Total Rare Earth Oxides, including peak grades of 0.31% tungsten reported by Medaro Mining Corp. at its Bastnäs Project within the surrounding Bergslagen district.
