Project Details
Location
Jarbidge area, northern Elko County, Nevada, about 80 miles north of Elko.
America's Critical Minerals Initiative
The U.S. government has identified tungsten on the U.S. Geological Survey's 2025 List of Critical Minerals as essential for economic and national security.
Summary
A past-producing tungsten district being explored with modern methods: district-wide soil geochemistry, a UAV magnetic survey and 3D magnetic inversion.
Where it stands
- 568 soil samples collected across both properties in 2026.
- Four tungsten-in-soil anomalies defined.
- Drill targets defined: a six-hole, approx. 3,050-foot (930 m) program at Rowland (October 13, 2026) and a four-hole, approx. 1,950-foot (594 m) program at White Star (October 20, 2026), for 10 holes and approx. 5,000 feet (1,524 m) from seven drill pads.
Rowland property
- 315 soil samples. Highest value 4,240 ppm W (0.53% WO₃).
- Two anomalies: Rowland Main (approx. 190 by 630 metres) and Northern Zone B (approx. 190 by 190 metres).
- Rock-chip samples reported in July 2026 returned up to 4.02% WO₃ at the Rowland Main workings.
White Star property
- 253 soil samples. Highest value 2,230 ppm W (0.28% WO₃).
- Two anomalies: North Zone (approx. 215 by 240 metres) and South Zone (approx. 135 by 95 metres), south of the historical Mission Cross mine.

Past-producing districts
History
Rowland
Historical production of over 1,000 tons of ore grading up to 3.38% WO₃ was reported between 1943 and 1956. A LiDAR review identified more than 17 historical open pits, trenches, shafts and adits.

White Star
The property surrounds the Batholith Mine, the only documented historical tungsten producer in the Charleston Mining District, recorded under several names including the White Star, Mission Cross, New Chance and Stevens mines. Historical production of about 10,000 tons grading about 1.0% WO₃ was reported in 1954, with additional production in 1956.

Together, Rowland and White Star cover more than six kilometres of prospective tungsten-bearing horizons (Company exploration concept, August 19, 2026). Drill permitting is under way through a U.S. Forest Service Plan of Operations.
The historical production figures and the 1954 estimate pre-date modern reporting standards, have not been verified by a Qualified Person and are not current mineral resources or reserves. The Company is not treating them as current and provides them for historical context only. Sources: company news releases of April 9, May 19, August 4 and October 20, 2026.
