Pilot North Tungsten Project Acquired via Staking

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 that it has acquired additional mining claims in the Walker Lane
Mineral Belt, approximately 15km northwest of the Company's Pilot Mountain
Project in Nevada, to form what is to be known as the Pilot North Tungsten
Project ("Pilot North" or the "Project").

Guardian Metal is focussed on leading the re-establishment of US domestic
tungsten production, centred on Pilot Mountain, which is believed to be the
largest undeveloped tungsten deposit in the United States. The Company's
projects demonstrate Nevada's exceptional mineral potential and the important
role the state can play in the national race to secure a stable, affordable
supply of critical resources for the United States of America.

The Company has acquired the new Pilot North tungsten and copper Project area
through direct mining claim staking of 59 new Bureau of Land Management
("BLM") Lode Claims. The Project was generated by the Company's ongoing
regional exploration programme and encapsulates three World War II era
tungsten mines.(1)

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:

"Following the identification of new targets through our regional exploration
programme, we moved quickly to stake 100%-owned claims to form the Pilot North
Project, which has highly prospective geology and a history of production, and
which is located just 15 km from our flagship Pilot Mountain project.

"The Company's expert geological consultant will be on site before the end of
the month to further evaluate the promising Pilot North prospects and assess
their potential to complement the ongoing exploration and development at Pilot
Mountain."

 

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

§ 59 BLM Lode Mining Claims directly staked across the Pilot North
tungsten-copper (W-Cu) Project area.

 

§ The new Project encapsulates three historical tungsten mines - Copper Head,
Western Metals and Jasper.(1)

 

§ Reconnaissance field work has confirmed skarn mineralisation at the contact
of granitic intrusions with limestones of the Luning Formation (i.e. the same
geology as the Company's Pilot Mountain project), and historical mines and
exploration activities. Initial rock samples are currently awaiting assay, but
copper oxide mineralisation is visually confirmed and ultraviolet (UV) light
investigation suggests high concentrations of scheelite (Figures 1-3).

 

§ An expert geological consultant will be onsite within two weeks to perform
field assessments and develop exploration strategies for the Project with
further news, results and accompanying maps to follow.

 

BACKGROUND

The Company's broader regional exploration programme continues to generate
tungsten skarn targets for further exploration. After field assessment of the
Pilot North targets, the Company immediately acted to stake a total of 59 BLM
Lode Mining Claims to form the Pilot  North Project. Pilot North is located
approximately 15 km northwest of the Company's co-flagship Pilot Mountain
project and shares the same road access.

The new Project area encapsulates three World War II era tungsten mines -
Copper Head, Western Metals and Jasper - and other historically reported
tungsten, copper and iron prospects(1). The Company believes these prospects
represent genetically related tungsten-copper-polymetallic skarn
mineralisation at the contacts of granitic intrusions with limestones of the
Luning Formation, a similar geological setting to the deposits at Pilot
Mountain.

Initial reconnaissance field work by the Company's geological team has
confirmed and sampled numerous zones of skarn mineralisation across the
Project area, confirmed the locations of the historical mines, and noted
evidence for historic exploration pits and bulldozer scrapes in several areas
across the Project (Figure 1). Outcropping skarns included copper rich zones,
and UV light investigations suggests locally high concentration of scheelite
(Figures 2 & 3). Initial grab rock samples from the various zones of skarn
mineralisation and gossans across the Project are currently undergoing assay
at ALS Laboratories in Reno.

The Company's expert geological consultant, Dr Lawrence Carter, will be onsite
within two weeks to undertake detailed geological mapping and sampling across
the Project, and develop strategies to advance exploration as a satellite to
the flagship Pilot Mountain project. The Company will further report the
findings of this detailed geological field work as well as assay results once
available. Maps of the Project will be shared once the Company has finished
consolidating claims over this new and exciting Project.
