Vancouver, Canada, January 8, 2026 TheNewswire - Spartan Metals Corp. ("Spartan" or the "Company") (TSX-V: W | OTCQB: SPRMF | FSE: J03) is pleased to provide a summary of its key 2025 accomplishments and a review of its 2026 exploration strategy at its 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium project ("Eagle") in eastern Nevada.
2025 Highlights:
-
Acquired the Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project from Ridgeline Minerals (July 31) and changed the company name to Spartan Metals Corp,
-
Began trading on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol "W" on August 5th
-
Completed a $2.25 million capital raise (September 27),
-
Significantly expanded our leadership team with the addition of Rebecca Ball as Vice President of Exploration and added Michael Harp to our Board of Directors. Rebecca and Michael both bring vast experience, strong technical skills, and passion for discoveries which has helped drive a successful exploration campaign at the Eagle Project and,
-
Expanded our capital market reach globally though listing on the OTCQB ("SPRMF") and on Frankfurt Exchange ("J03").
Key Exploration Successes:
-
Field reconnaissance and rock chip sampling was conducted which confirmed historic work and provided new data in the Tungstonia area providing a strong foundation for future work programs (August 7),
-
Identified high-grade silver-rich CRD targets on trend with the Tungstonia vein system which strongly suggests the potential for a larger CRD target that could potentially contain significant critical metal concentrations (November 3),
-
Doubled the number of exploration and mining claims at Tungstonia to now cover 7,131 acres (November 25),
-
Identified two new tungsten-silver-rubidium targets of potentially significant scale (December 9) expanding the known mineralized footprint of the Tungstonia system and,
-
Provided encouraging assay results on the tailings at the former Tungstonia mine which support our belief that the legacy Tungstonia tailings can be an important part to fund future development at Eagle (December 18).
2026 Catalysts:
Spartan begins 2026 with a clear strategy to build on the strong performance of 2025 and advance exploration at the Eagle Project.
-
Conduct a high-value targeted drill campaign on priority targets identified from the compilation of the 2025 surface mapping and sampling program,
-
Publish metallurgical results from the tailings at Tungstonia to help better understand the economic potential in the readily accessible tailings and waste rock and,
-
Seek non-dilutive financing to support our growth plans. At present the need for domestic critical minerals in the U.S. is a top priority for the federal government and funding in this sector has been made available to meet the government's critical minerals onshoring objectives
Brett Marsh, Spartan's President and CEO, states, "Spartan had a strong and successful year, especially considering that our exploration programs began late in 2025. Spartan now has a total of six high-quality exploration targets at Eagle: four at the Tungstonia deposit that include two extensive high-grade tungsten, silver and rubidium vein sets, one large silver-rich CRD and one potential bulk tonnage tungsten-rubidium target, while at our Rees deposit, we have two targets including the past producing Rees tungsten mine and the past producing Antelope silver-copper-antimony mine. I am very optimistic about our ability to deliver meaningful results into 2026"
