 **Guardian Metal Resources plc**

 **('Guardian Metal' or the 'Company')**

 **Pilot Mountain Positive Pre-Feasibility Progress Update**

Guardian Metal Resources plc (NYSE.A: GMTL, LON:GMET, OTCQB:GMTLF), a strategic exploration company focused on tungsten in Nevada, USA, is pleased to provide a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") progress update on its 100%-owned Pilot Mountain tungsten project ("Pilot Mountain" or the "Project") located in Nevada, USA. The Company reports strong progress across all key PFS workstreams which are progressing as planned.

The PFS is being supported by a U.S. Department of War $6.2m Defense Production Act Title III investment<sup>1</sup> in Guardian Metal's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC, and is led by Guardian Metal's in-house team in collaboration with Samuel Engineering Inc., and a group of specialist engineering and environmental firms.

 **Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal, commented:** 

 *"We are very pleased to report strong progress at Pilot Mountain. Key PFS workstreams are advancing very well, and upon completion, the Company will move swiftly into both the mine permitting phase and commence workstreams to support the Definitive Feasibility Study, marking the next significant step in the Project's development.*

 *"Alongside the strong engineering progress presented herein, encouraging visual results from the Garnet Zone, Desert Scheelite Zone (East), and the commencement of drilling at the Good Hope Zone continue to support the Project's largely unrealised exploration potential.*

 *"Guardian Metal continues to make the progress required to deliver the first new hard-rock mined source of tungsten on U.S. soil in more than a decade."*

 **PFS Highlights:**

**●** **Resource Evaluation Update:** All drilling required to support the ongoing
resource evaluation work at the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones
has been completed. The final PFS results are expected to include
the outcomes of the ongoing resource evaluation workstreams from
both of these target zones.

**●** **Mine Planning:** The Project
is currently being evaluated as a conventional open-pit operation,
sourcing feed from both the Desert Scheelite and Garnet Zones. Mine
design and optimisation are advancing in line with the planned PFS
schedule.

**●** **Permitting:** The mine Plan
of Operations, which will initiate the National Environmental
Policy Act process upon submission to the Bureau of Land
Management, is being drafted and developed in parallel with the PFS
and is currently targeted for submission in August
2026. **●** **Metallurgy:** Flowsheet
development is well advanced, with preliminary test work results to
date suggestive of a conventional flotation circuit capable of
producing a scheelite concentrate. Workstreams relating to
potential by-product recovery of silver and/or zinc are ongoing and
also progressing well.

**●** **Engineering:** Siting
studies are complete and the engineering team is advancing plant
layout design, open-pit mine plans, and site infrastructure
layouts. The process plant is currently expected to comprise a
conventional flotation facility, with onsite temporary power
generation currently expected for initial operations, with grid
connection to follow thereafter.

**●** **Hydrogeology:** Phase I
drilling and monitoring well installation is complete. Phase II,
which includes additional monitoring wells, piezometers and a
production well, has commenced and will provide the groundwater
modelling data required for mine permitting.

 **Exploration Update**

**●** **Garnet Zone:** Infill
drilling at the Garnet Zone is complete. Several drillholes
returned encouraging visual intersections of scheelite
mineralisation, consistent with the style of tungsten
mineralisation typically encountered at the Desert Scheelite Zone.
Resource evaluation work is ongoing.

**●** **Good Hope Zone:** Initial
holes GH26-01 and GH26-02 at the Good Hope target have been
completed which returned encouraging visual scheelite mineralised
intersections. Analytical results are pending.

**●** **Gunmetal Zone:** Several
drill sites are now permitted and drill pad preparation is nearing
completion. Drilling is expected to begin before the end of June
2026, marking Guardian Metal's first ever drilling at this target
zone, an area being evaluated for additional tungsten
resources.

**●** **Desert Scheelite Zone (East):** The eastern strike extension of Desert
Scheelite is under investigation through ongoing exploration and
condemnation drilling. In particular, PMR26-077 was collared
approximately 300m east of the expected eastern open-pit limit, and
intersected visual scheelite mineralisation. Additional drillholes
are planned in the short term to further evaluate this target
area. The main Desert Scheelite deposit remains open to the east,
west and down dip, with further exploration drilling targeting
these areas expected throughout Q2 and Q3 2026.

**●** **Comprehensive Exploration Update:** The Company intends to publish a
comprehensive exploration update following PFS completion,
incorporating results from all active target areas which is
expected to demonstrate the continued potential for resource growth
across the broader Pilot Mountain land package.

**About Guardian Metal Resources** 

Guardian Metal Resources PLC (NYSE.A: GMTL, LON:GMET, OTCQB:GMTLF) is a strategic mineral exploration company driving the revival of U.S. mined tungsten production and strengthening America's defense metal independence. The Company is advancing two co-flagship tungsten projects, Pilot Mountain, one of the largest undeveloped tungsten deposits in the U.S. and Tempiute, formerly America's largest producing tungsten operation, both located in Nevada, one of the top-rated mining jurisdictions in the United States.

In July 2025, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) under Title III of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, invested U.S. $6.2M in Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Metal Resources PLC, to support the Pilot Mountain PFS. The Company completed a U.S. listing on the NYSE American on March 20, 2026.

Tungsten is a strategic metal critical to the defense, energy transition, technology, and industrial sectors. In the context of shifting geopolitical dynamics and tightening Chinese export restrictions, Guardian Metal is well positioned to play a leading role in re-establishing a secure, domestically mined U.S. supply chain for this vital defense metal.
