Nevada-focused tungsten junior bolsters advisory, management team
Guardian Metal, a London-listed exploration and development company focusing on tungsten, copper, silver, gold and lithium in Nevada, on Monday announced key appointments aimed at strengthening its senior advisory and management team.
The company appointed Michael Jones, who has taken several resource companies from discovery through to feasibility, permitting and into production, as strategic adviser.
Jones has cofounded West Timmins Mining, MAG Silver and Platinum Group Metals. Most recently, he was CEO and president of Los Andes Copper, which is developing a large copper project in Chile.
“Mr. Jones has founded and been associated with many highly successful mineral exploration and development companies, some of which have had their valuations eclipse $1-billlion under his watch. With his strategic vision and connections in the mining space, we look forward to working together to unlock significant value at Pilot Mountain, a project that we believe can play an important role in the USA's defense metal reshoring efforts,” commented CEO Oliver Friesen.
In addition, Guardian appointed Jeff Snyder, from Winnemucca, Nevada, as operations manager. He will work alongside the company’s appointed engineers to drive the Pilot Mountain project from its current position to prefeasibility and beyond.
Jones said he was looking forward to working closely with US industrial and government partners, along with the state of Nevada, to advance Pilot Mountain and secure a responsible source of tungsten concentrate for the country.
“In my over 40 years in the mining space I have been heavily involved in creating and operating strategic minerals projects in alliances with end-users, refiners and governments. Guardian owns a very critical asset in Pilot Mountain, at a very critical time, when the USA and the Western world desperately needs to reshore the supply chains of defense metals like tungsten,” he commented.
