U.S Expansion
Global Tactical Metals Corp. has strategically expanded its operations into the U.S. market, marking a pivotal step in its mission to secure critical mineral resources across North America. This expansion comes at a time of heightened demand for key materials like antimony and tungsten, both of which are essential to national security and advanced manufacturing. Antimony prices surged by 192% in 2024, reaching $38,000 USD per tonne, underscoring its importance in energy storage and defense applications. Similarly, tungsten—renowned for its strength and density—plays a critical role in advanced ammunition, aerospace, and high-tech manufacturing. Recent government investments, such as the US and Canadian governments’ C$35 million funding for the Mactung tungsten mine, highlight the growing focus on securing domestic supplies of these strategic metals. By leveraging its expertise in exploration and resource development, Global Tactical Metals is poised to contribute to strengthening North American critical mineral supply chains while reinforcing its position as a leader in the tactical metals sector.
Green Mine
The Green Mine is a historically significant antimony deposit located in the Wildhorse Mining District of the Humboldt Range, Pershing County, Nevada. This mineral-rich site has documented antimony mineralization, accompanied by lead and silver, concentrated along fault zones within gabbro formations.
Historical records indicate that the mine produced a documented minimum of 46 tons of antimony during three distinct operational periods: 1936-1937, 1952-1954, and 1962-1967. Available samples from the Green Mine reveal impressive grades, ranging from 1.20% to 32.95% Sb, 0.6% to 3.9% Pb, 0.70 opt to 16.20 opt Ag, and 0.01 opt to 0.025 opt Au. Key minerals identified at the site include pyrite, arsenopyrite, bindheimite, and jamesonite.
Advanced Exploration Methodology
Building on this proven history, our team is actively conducting on-site verification of historical data, including geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys to refine our understanding of the deposit. We will be integrating modern exploration technologies, such as drone-based LiDAR scanning and hyperspectral imaging, to identify potential extensions of known mineralization and optimize future drilling targets
Antimony Oxide Exploration Progress
High-grade antimony oxide ore has been identified in multiple locations across existing mine workings and surface outcrops, further validating historical reports of mineralization. To quantify the extent and grade of these occurrences, our team has collected a series of representative samples, which are currently being prepared for laboratory analysis. These assays will provide critical data on Sb content, associated metals, and ore characteristics, guiding our next phase of exploration and development.
Geological potential
In addition to laboratory testing, we will be conducting structural mapping and geochemical surveys to delineate the continuity of high-grade zones and assess their economic potential. These efforts will inform future drilling programs aimed at defining resource tonnage and optimizing potential extraction methods.
Long Mine – A Historical Tungsten Producer
The Long Lease Mine is a tungsten occurrence situated in the Wildhorse Mining District within the Humboldt Range, Pershing County, Nevada. Tungsten mineralization is hosted in skarn formations at the contact zones of a porphyritic Mesozoic granite, where contact metamorphism has enriched the deposit. The primary ore mineral, scheelite (CaWO₄), is known to fluoresce yellow under ultraviolet light. Associated gangue minerals include pyroxene, garnet, amphibole, magnetite, and garnet-epidote.
The mine was historically active during two periods, 1942-1944 and 1952-1954, with a total of 11,400 tons of ore extracted at an average grade of 0.7% WO₃, yielding 4,379 metric ton units (mtu) of tungsten trioxide (WO₃).
Mining operations focused on two primary ore zones:
South Ore Body – Measuring 130 feet long, 7 feet wide, and mined to a depth of 55 feet
North Ore Body – Measuring 200 feet long, 6 feet wide, and mined to a depth of 35 feet
The ore occurs along lithological contacts between marble and hornfels, as well as between the intrusive granite and skarn-hosted mineralization. These structural controls played a key role in tungsten deposition, making the Long Lease Mine a significant past producer in the region.
The team will be onsite to confirm historical data and confirm working exploration plan in the coming week.
Our Commitment
We believe that the U.S. and Canada remain bound by a shared history and geography, often referred to as “sons of the same mother.” This enduring bond is reflected by our strong economic and cultural ties, with both nations continuing to cooperate on strategic initiatives. By leveraging our expertise in exploration and resource development, Global Tactical Metals is poised to contribute to strengthening North American critical mineral supply chains while working to earn its position as a possible leader in the tactical metals sector. Through this expansion, the company underscores the resilience of cross-border partnerships and the shared commitment to securing a prosperous future for both nations.
