Spartan Metals reports 13-fold expansion of tungsten mineralization in Nevada
Spartan Metals Corp. (TSXV: W) (OTCQB: SPRMF) announced assay results from recent sampling at its Tungstonia Claims within the 100%-owned Eagle Project in Nevada, reporting eight confirmed tungsten-silver veins across a mineralized footprint of approximately 2.7 kilometers by 2.1 kilometers, or roughly 5.7 square kilometers.
According to the company, the defined mineralization area is more than 13 times larger than the approximately 750 meters by 550 meters known when Spartan acquired the Eagle Project in July 2025. The eight veins have a cumulative surface strike length of approximately 6.8 kilometers.
Rock chip samples returned assays of up to 5.18% WO3 from Vein 4, which has been extended 400 meters southward to a total confirmed length of approximately 1.1 kilometers. A newly identified vein, designated Spartan C, was confirmed at approximately 700 meters in length with samples returning 3.67% and 2.72% WO3. The Spartan B vein was extended 530 meters to a total confirmed length of approximately 700 meters, with samples of 1.82% and 2.43% WO3.
The company noted that approximately 50% of the Tungstonia claim block remains unexplored. Spartan stated that ground geophysics surveys are concluding and that approximately 3,000 meters of diamond core drilling is planned to begin in mid-August 2026 at high-priority targets.
Brett Marsh, President and CEO of Spartan Metals, said in a statement: "When Spartan acquired the Eagle Project in July 2025, the known extent of mineralization at Tungstonia covered an area of approximately 750 meters by 550 meters. Our 2025 and 2026 field programs have now defined eight tungsten-silver veins across an exploration footprint measuring approximately 2.7 kilometres by 2.1 kilometers — an increase of more than 13-fold — with a cumulative exposed surface strike length of approximately 6.8 kilometers."
The company noted that rock chip samples are selective in nature and should not be considered representative of average grade, tonnage, or economic viability. Samples were analyzed by American Assay Lab in Sparks, Nevada. The information is based on a press release issued by Spartan Metals.
