Guardian Metal Joins Critical Minerals Forum

Membership Provides Access to Government Stakeholders, Industry Leaders, and
Capital Markets Through DARPA-Sponsored Initiative

Guardian Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET, OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic development
and mineral exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased
to announce its membership to the Critical Minerals Forum (CMF). This
strategic partnership positions Guardian Metal at the centre of critical
minerals supply chain development and reinforces the Company's commitment to
re-establishing domestic tungsten production in the United States.

The Critical Minerals Forum facilitates collaboration between leading
companies across the minerals supply chain, investors and government
institutions to increase reliable production of critical minerals. The Forum
operates in partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's
(DARPA) Open Price Exploration for National Security (OPEN) initiative,
providing members with unique access to government stakeholders, industry
intelligence, and capital market opportunities.

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:

"Joining the Critical Minerals Forum represents a significant opportunity in
our mission to re-establish domestic tungsten production. This membership
provides Guardian Metal with direct access to the policymakers, industry
leaders, and investors who are driving America's critical minerals strategy.
As we advance development at our co-flagship Pilot Mountain and Tempiute
tungsten projects, our CMF membership will help us navigate government
partnerships, supply chain relationships, and capital allocation that are
essential for bringing domestic tungsten production online in the U.S.A."

"The Forum's partnership with DARPA's OPEN initiative is particularly valuable
as it provides credible market intelligence and forecasting capabilities that
will inform our strategic decisions. We look forward to contributing our
Nevada operations expertise to the Forum's collective knowledge base while
accessing the resources and relationships needed to accelerate our development
timelines."

Strategic Benefits of the CMF:

§ Government Access: direct engagement with federal agencies and policy
makers shaping critical minerals strategy, including participation in policy
scenario planning and regulatory discussions;

 

§ Industry Intelligence: access to preeminent data analytics and forecasting
models developed through the DARPA-sponsored OPEN initiative, providing
deal-relevant market intelligence across multiple policy scenarios;

 

§ Capital Market Opportunities: participation in the Forum's investment
clearinghouse, connecting Guardian Metal with investors specifically focused
on U.S. critical minerals supply chain development.

 

§ Supply Chain Integration: collaboration with leading companies across the
minerals value chain to identify partnership opportunities and optimise
domestic production networks.
