Spartan Metals Corp. has commenced a maiden diamond core drilling program of up to 3,000 metres at its 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in White Pine County, Nevada.

The fully funded program is testing three primary target areas across the Tungstonia Claim block: the SE Tungsten Anomaly, a tungsten-silver-rubidium vein system, and new IP geophysics targets. Earlier exploration planning anticipated the 3,000-metre diamond core program would get underway in July.

In February, Spartan expanded its land package at the Eagle Project by staking additional claims and acquiring the past-producing Yellow Jacket Tungsten Mine, adding to past-producing workings across the district.

Alongside the Eagle Project, Spartan holds an option to earn a 100% interest in the Victorio Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in New Mexico. That project has an upcoming preliminary economic assessment update scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Activity across the surrounding district also continues to advance, including when Viscount Mining Corp. initiated a systematic tungsten evaluation program at its Cherry Creek Project.

“This a very exciting moment for Spartan and the Eagle Project. We have done a significant amount of field work leading up to this point and we are thrilled to have drills turning at Eagle, which hasn't seen any real exploration work since World War 2 when tungsten was a critical mineral for the war. Tungsten is vital to U.S. defense, advanced manufacturing, and technology sectors, but the U.S. remains dependent on non-allied imports. The July 20 th Presidential Executive Order makes the national imperative clear that the U.S. must secure domestic supply chains for critical minerals. Eagle provides an excellent opportunity to explore and potentially develop a U.S. source for tungsten in Nevada. We are very eager to see the results from this maiden drilling program at Eagle, which will be out later this year.”

— Brett Marsh, President and CEO

Initial drill assays from the maiden program at the Eagle Project are scheduled to be released later in 2026 as results become available.
