Dutch Mountain is a tungsten exploration project in Tooele County, Utah, covering the historical Fraction Lode, E.H.B. and Stardust workings. Its existing gravity-processing facility is on private land approximately 25 kilometres from the exploration project. Fifteen new unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 310 acres were staked in June 2026 to extend coverage along the intrusive-limestone contact. Surface sampling defined tungsten anomalism along approximately 700 metres at Fraction Lode and 500 metres at Stardust, with a separate lower-tenor soil anomaly in the new southern claims. Rock chips are selective and may not represent grade, width or continuity; soil results are pathfinder values unsuitable for Mineral Resource estimation. Maiden drilling began on 28 August 2026, with approximately 1,000 metres planned across 11 holes in Phase 1. Civil works and site establishment at the concentrator are complete, but engineering and metallurgical confirmation precede major equipment commitment for refurbishment. Drilling approval is secured; engagement with Utah environmental and water authorities on restart permitting and water supply is ongoing. Beneficiation trials on Dutch Mountain material continue at Del Sol, whose acquisition remains conditional, while a proposed APT circuit is under assessment. No mining or processing decision has been made.
