Spartan Metals Discovers New Tungsten-Silver Veins at Nevada Project
Vancouver, Canada — June 16, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Spartan Metals Corp. announced the discovery of two new tungsten-silver veins at its Tungstonia Claims, located within its 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada. These newly found veins, named Spartan A and Spartan B, were identified through backpack core drill sampling approximately one kilometer from Vein 1, the primary production vein at the past-producing Tungstonia Mine.
The mineralization in the new veins is consistent with the tungsten-silver mineralization found in Veins 1 through 5 at the Tungstonia Mine, bringing the total confirmed tungsten-silver veins to seven. Assay results from Table 1 show that Spartan A vein yielded an interval of 1.3 meters with 0.26% WO3 and 9.51 g/t Ag, including a 0.2-meter interval of 0.23% WO3 and 55.96 g/t Ag. Spartan B vein, over an 0.8-meter interval, returned 0.57% WO3 and 9.16 g/t Ag.
Brett Marsh, Spartan’s President and CEO, stated that the discovery of additional vein systems is an encouraging development that reinforces the belief that the Eagle Project could host a larger mineralizing system. He noted that the presence of multiple vein structures across a broad area supports the company’s geological model and highlights the potential scale and expansion of the known mineralized footprint. Marsh expressed particular excitement that these new veins demonstrate mineralization extending beyond historically recognized areas, and that silver, which was not reported in historic tungsten production, continues to be consistent in sampling and has the potential to add significant value.
The discoveries were made as part of an exploration program announced on May 21, 2026, utilizing a portable backpack diamond core drill with a 36.4-millimeter core diameter. This equipment is designed for rapid evaluation of potential veins before mobilizing larger drills. The vertical holes, STS-26-004 and STS-26-005, were collared in greisen-altered granite near interpreted vein locations from 2025 surface exploration programs. The true thicknesses of the mineralization are currently unknown and require further definition.
These drill results validate previously interpreted but unconfirmed veins at the Tungstonia claims, illustrating the potential for continued district-scale discovery at the Eagle Project. The assay results are comparable to previously reported production grades at the Tungstonia and Yellow Jacket Mines, further underscoring the tungsten potential of the Eagle Project.
Spartan Metals will continue its 2026 exploration program, which includes further surface sampling of soils and rocks, including additional backpack drilling, over claims acquired in November 2025. Ground geophysics surveys are planned for mid-June to inform the depths of existing tungsten-silver veins and potential tungsten skarn mineralization. Approximately 3,000 meters of diamond core drilling is scheduled for early to mid-August at high-priority targets identified through surface sampling and geophysics.
The company has also engaged Global One Media Group Pte. Ltd. to support its digital investor communications strategy, aiming to increase market visibility and investor engagement. This engagement, commencing July 1, 2026, involves the production and distribution of digital investor content for a period of six months at a cost of US$7,500 per month. The agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Spartan Metals Corp. is focused on developing critical minerals projects in the Western United States, emphasizing a portfolio of strategic defense minerals. Its projects include an option to earn 100% of the Victorio Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in New Mexico and the 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada. The Eagle Project is described as a unique opportunity to delineate one of the largest and highest-grade tungsten and rubidium districts in the United States, covering past-producing mines active from 1915 to 1956.
