Tungsten is vital to U.S.\ndefense, advanced manufacturing, and technology sectors, but the U.S. remains\ndependent on non-allied imports. The July 20(th) Presidential Executive Order\nmakes the national imperative clear that the U.S. must secure domestic supply\nchains for critical minerals.

The primary objective of the program is to evaluate the depth\nand continuity of the tungsten-silver-rubidium vein mineralization and to\ninvestigate the tungsten skarn potential adjacent to the veins while advancing\nour understanding of the broader mineral system.\n\nInitial drill results will be released as assays become available.\n\n(https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12484/310947_a8cccc1b34447ac1_001full.jpg)\n\nFigure 1 Drill sites (green) shown with 2024 and 2025 rock samples, 2025\ntungsten soil results and interpreted geology.

Eagle consists of the past-producing(1) high-grade Tungstonia,\nYellow Jacket, and Rees/Antelope tungsten (W-Cu-Ag) mines. Operations at these\nmines were from 1915 to 1942 with intermittent small-scale production\noccurring until 1956. Tungsten production from these mines totaled 8,379 units\nat grades between 0.6%-0.9% WO(3)(1)\n\nEagle is ~36.5 km² in size and located approximately 120 kilometers northeast\nof the town of Ely, in the Kern Mountains of White Pine County, Nevada. The\nProject covers 9,033 acres consisting of 445 Bureau of Land Management (BLM)\nunpatented lode mining claims.\n\nThree deposit types are present at Eagle; Porphyry, Skarn, and Carbonate\nReplacement (CRD) that contain significant or anomalous grades of Tungsten\n(W), Silver (Ag), and Rubidium (Rb) plus Cu-Sb±Au-Pb-Zn-Bi-As across three\nproject focus areas that also includes the potential to recover W-Rb-Ag from\nthe legacy Tungstonia Mill Tailings.\n\nAbout Spartan Metals Corp.\n\nSpartan Metals is focused on developing critical minerals projects in\nwell-established and stable mining jurisdictions in the Western United States,\nwith an emphasis on building a portfolio of diverse strategic defense minerals\nsuch as Tungsten, Rubidium, Antimony, Bismuth, and Arsenic.\n\nSpartan's high-quality project portfolio includes an option to earn 100% of\nthe Victorio Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in New Mexico and the 100% owned\nEagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada. Victorio hosts one of the\nlargest tungsten resources in the United States(2) and contains significant\nconcentrations of beryllium and fluorspar, while the Eagle Project consists of\none of the highest-grade historic tungsten resources in the USA which includes\nsignificant under-defined resources consisting of: high-grade silver;\nrubidium; antimony; bismuth; indium; as well as precious and base metals, and\nmore information about Spartan Metals can be found at www.SpartanMetals.com.\n\nOn behalf of the Board of Spartan\n\"Brett Marsh\"\nPresident, CEO & Director\n\nFurther Information:\nBrett Marsh, M.Sc., MBA, CPG\nPresident, CEO & Director\n1-888-535-0325\ninfo@spartanmetals.com\n\nJeff Walker\nVP, The Howard Group\n403-221-0915\njeff@howardgroupinc.com\n\nNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Service Provider (as that\nterm is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts\nresponsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis news release contains statements that constitute \"forward-looking\nstatements.\" Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks,\nuncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results,\nperformance or achievements, or developments in the industry to differ\nmaterially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed\nor implied by such forward-looking statements.
