Pilot Mountain Project - Tungsten Off-take Letter of Intent

Golden Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET), a mineral exploration company focused
on tungsten, gold, copper and silver within Nevada, USA, is  pleased to
announce the signing of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with United States-based
Global Tungsten & Powders LLC ("GTP") of Towanda, Pennsylvania, in respect
of a tungsten concentrate off-take agreement ("Off-take") for Golden Metal's
wholly-owned Pilot Mountain Project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project")
located within the prolific Walker Lake Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA.

The non-binding LOI provides outline terms for a future off-take agreement,
subject to successful technical and legal due diligence, and also to Golden
Metal securing necessary funding to develop Pilot Mountain.

Highlights:

-      LOI signed with leading United States supplier of tungsten powders
and semi-finished parts outlining proposed terms to acquire a minimum of
50,000 metric MTU's (metric ton unit) W0(3) contained in tungsten
concentrates, which may be increased to 70,000 MTU's by mutual agreement,
subject to the successful development of the Project.

 

-      The specific product outlined in the Off-take is for 65% WO(3)
tungsten concentrate. Pricing will be in US dollars and based on a discount to
the European APT (ammonium Paratungstate) quote provided by Fast Markets
(Formerly Metal Bulletin).(1)

 

-      GTP and Golden Metal also intend to discuss and consider
cooperation opportunities for the development of a Western World supply chain
strategy which will align with recent policy announcements from the US
Department of Defense and the US Defense Logistics Agency with regard to the
building of strategic stockpiles of critical minerals, including tungsten
products.

Oliver Friesen, CEO of Golden Metal, commented:

"Let me be the first to welcome our new partner Global Tungsten & Powders,
which is a significant player in the global tungsten industry. The signing of
this agreement represents a significant  milestone and an encouraging step
forward for our Pilot Mountain Project.

"The LOI not only outlines the proposed terms of a supply agreement for future
tungsten concentrate sales to GTP from Pilot Mountain, but also the
cooperation between our two companies in regard to the development of Western
World critical metals supply chains - with particular reference to tungsten.

"Today's announcement also further bolsters the Project's overall profile and
its attractiveness as a target for non-dilutive grant funding for exploration
and development, something the Company is actively pursuing at present."

The Projects:

Pilot Mountain Project

The Pilot Mountain project is an advanced exploration and mineral resource
definition stage project located in Mineral County in western Nevada. The
project covers an area of 14.80 km(2) (3,656.1 acres) and is located 200km
southeast of Reno and 18km east of Mina, Nevada. It is well situated for the
supply of power, water and skilled labour and proximity to transport
infrastructure in Mineral County and is centred around four existing mineral
deposits: Garnet; Good Hope; Gunmetal and Desert Scheelite, all of which
possess significant skarn-style tungsten-copper-silver-zinc mineralisation.
The Pilot Mountain project consists of 176 active lode mining claims and 4
filed mill site claims. The four mill site claims filed at the former Dunham
mill site have secure access to groundwater supply sufficient for the proposed
project.

Golconda Summit Project

Golden Metal is the operator of the Golconda Summit project, which is held
under an earn-in right to acquire up to 100 per cent. of the project from the
mineral claim owner pursuant to an option agreement. The Golconda Summit
project is an exploration stage gold and silver project located in Humboldt
County and situated at the confluence of the Getchell and Battle Mountain -
Eureka metallogenic trends, and consists of 44 lode mining claims, covering a
total area of approximately 3.22 km(2) (795.4 acres) located approximately
27km east of Winnemucca.

Garfield Project

The Garfield project is an early exploration stage copper, gold and silver
property consisting of 39 lode mining claims covering 3.23 km(2) (797.9 acres)
located in Mineral County, Nevada, approximately 14km due east of the town of
Hawthorne and 120km due west-northwest of Tonopah.

Stonewall Project

The Stonewall project is an exploration stage gold-silver property prospective
for epithermal gold-silver mineralisation. The property consists of 19 lode
mining claims covering 1.59 km(2) (392.5 acres) located on the northern flank
of Stonewall Mountain, on the western edge of the Nellis Airforce Range
Restricted Access Area, in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 24km south-east
