January 8, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Spartan Metals Corp. (TSX-V: W | OTCQB: SPRMF | FSE: J03) has released a summary of its key accomplishments in 2025 and an overview of its 2026 exploration strategy at its wholly-owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium project in eastern Nevada.
In 2025, Spartan acquired the Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project from Ridgeline Minerals (July 31) and changed the company name to Spartan Metals Corp. The company began trading on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol “W” on August 5th and completed a $2.25 million capital raise on September 27.
Spartan also expanded its leadership team with the addition of Rebecca Ball as Vice President of Exploration and Michael Harp to the Board of Directors. The company expanded its capital market reach globally through listing on the OTCQB (“SPRMF”) and on the Frankfurt Exchange (“J03”).
Exploration successes included field reconnaissance and rock chip sampling that confirmed historic work and provided new data in the Tungstonia area. High-grade silver-rich CRD targets were identified on trend with the Tungstonia vein system, suggesting the potential for a larger CRD target. The company doubled the number of exploration and mining claims at Tungstonia to 7,131 acres and identified two new tungsten-silver-rubidium targets, expanding the mineralized footprint of the Tungstonia system. Encouraging assay results were provided on the tailings at the former Tungstonia mine, supporting the belief that the legacy Tungstonia tailings can fund future development at Eagle.
For 2026, Spartan plans to conduct a targeted drill campaign on priority targets identified from the 2025 surface mapping and sampling program. The company will publish metallurgical results from the tailings at Tungstonia to better understand the economic potential in the tailings and waste rock and will seek non-dilutive financing to support growth plans. 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, stated that Spartan had a strong and successful year, especially considering that exploration programs began late in 2025. Spartan has a total of six high-quality exploration targets at Eagle, including four at the Tungstonia deposit and two at the Rees deposit. Marsh said he is optimistic about the company’s ability to deliver meaningful results into 2026.
As of January 9, 2026, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Spartan has engaged Plutus Invest & Consulting GmbH to provide investor programs to increase awareness about the company in Europe for a 12-month term. The program includes strategic planning, content creation, ad placement, media buying, and execution. Spartan agrees to pay Plutus between Euro 100,000 to 250,000 for the entirety of the program. Marco Messina is a Managing Director of Plutus and will be responsible for all activities related to the Company.
The technical information contained in this news release has been prepared under the supervision of, and approved by Brett R. Marsh. Mr. Marsh is President and CEO of Spartan Metals Corp. and a “qualified person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
Spartan Metals is focused on developing critical minerals projects in the Western United States, with an emphasis on building a portfolio of diverse strategic defense minerals such as Tungsten, Rubidium, Antimony, Bismuth, and Arsenic. Spartan’s flagship project is the Eagle Project in eastern Nevada.
