PERMITTING COUNCIL SUPPORT EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE AGGRESSIVE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ACROSS ENTIRE GOLDEN GATE TARGET AS RESOLUTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ITS INTEGRATED IDAHO ANTIMONY-TUNGSTEN-GOLD CRITICAL METALS PLATFORM
HIGHLIGHTS
- This is the second FAST-41 status granted to Resolution Minerals, demonstrating the high calibre of the Golden Gate asset and its strategic value as a potential source of U.S. domestic tungsten supply, and highlighting the level of engagement RML has with the U.S. Government and the Permitting Council, and the attention Resolution’s projects are receiving from the highest levels of the current Administration.
- FAST-41 is a special permitting framework being utilised by the Trump Administration to accelerate permitting and the development of critical U.S. infrastructure projects and to provide solutions for U.S. national security.
- RML’s Golden Gate Project was added to the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard in response to President Trump’s Executive Order on Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production, to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries for the supply of critical minerals, especially during times of war.
- RML has been working closely with key Federal agencies and Administration leadership, including the Permitting Council, which has reviewed RML’s U.S. assets and has recognised their strategic importance to addressing the United States’ critical metals supply deficit and lack of domestic
production. - With RML’s Antimony Ridge Project receiving FAST-41 Transparency status in April 2026, both of the Company’s primary development targets at the Horse Heaven Project, Antimony Ridge and Golden Gate, have been prioritised by the U.S. Government for streamlined permitting.
- The Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge targets are within RML’s 15,000-acre Horse Heaven Tungsten-Antimony-Gold Project located in Idaho, USA, directly adjacent to Perpetua Resources’ recently permitted ~A$3.5 billion Stibnite Gold Project.
- A Plan of Operations for Golden Gate has been submitted to, and accepted by, the US Forest Service for an exploration and development program that will include construction of new roads between Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South and allow up to 340 drill holes and 2,000 feet of trenching.
- The Golden Gate Project includes the past-producing Golden Gate Tungsten Mine, which operated
intermittently between the period from approximately 1952 to 1980, with reported tungsten
production grades ranging between 1.5% and 2.0%. - The combination of Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge positions Resolution to pursue an integrated critical metals development pathway spanning exploration, metallurgy, and potential downstream processing in a tier-one U.S. jurisdiction.
- FAST-41 status is expected to fast-track permitting, enhance investor visibility and support engagement with potential strategic partners and funding sources aligned with the U.S. critical minerals policy.
- FAST-41 status bodes extremely well for the Company’s upcoming NASDAQ listing.
We are very pleased that Golden Gate has been selected for FAST-41 Transparency Coverage. We now have two separate development targets within the Horse Heaven Project under the FAST-41 program. Interestingly, I am not aware of any other critical metals company with two FAST-41 projects, which I believe is a mark of the potential importance of Horse Heaven in the US achieving its goal of developing domestic supplies of both antimony and tungsten. Golden Gate represents a key piece of Resolution’s broader strategy to develop a U.S.-based critical minerals platform. With exploration, processing infrastructure and multiple development pathways now coming together at Horse Heaven, we believe the Company is uniquely positioned to capitalise on strong demand for antimony, tungsten and gold.
