Core Insights - Spartan Metals Corp. has discovered two new tungsten-silver-rubidium exploration targets at the Tungstonia deposit, part of its 100% owned Eagle Project in eastern Nevada [1][2][3] Exploration Results - Soil sample results from a 2025 surface geology program have outlined a 2.0 km x 1.7 km surface anomaly and a 0.75 km x 2.1 km surface anomaly, confirming mapped veins and structures [2][4] - The soil sampling covered approximately 20 square kilometers with 2,100 samples taken on a 100m x 100m grid [4] - Notable grades in soil samples include tungsten up to 272 parts per million (ppm), silver up to 5.9 grams per tonne (g/t), and rubidium up to 537 ppm [4] Anomalies and Mineralization Potential - The Western Tungsten Anomaly aligns with the structural trend of the legacy Tungstonia mine, while the Southeastern Tungsten Anomaly coincides with intrusive contacts with carbonaceous sediments [3][4] - The strength of the anomalies suggests significant new exploration potential, potentially indicating a larger mineral system than previously recognized [3][8] Project Overview - The Eagle Project is located approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Ely, Nevada, covering 36.5 km² and consisting of 445 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unpatented lode mining claims [17][21] - The project includes past-producing high-grade tungsten and rubidium mines, with historical tungsten production totaling 8,379 units at grades between 0.6%-0.9% WO3 [16][21] Future Plans - The results from the soil sampling will aid in generating drill targets for a planned spring 2026 drill program [2][3] - Additional soil sampling is planned to extend to the boundary of the newly staked Tungstonia claims [4]
