Power Metal Resources #POW – 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) W0₃ 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% WO₃ 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.”
