Spartan Metals Commences Exploration Program at the
Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project, Nevada
Vancouver, Canada, October 16, 2025 – Spartan Metals Corp. (“Spartan” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: W) is
pleased to announce, it has initiated an exploration program (“ Program”) at its Eagle Tungsten-Silver-
Rubidium Project in Nevada (Figure 1). The focus of the Program will be characterizing the tailings at the
historic Tungstonia millsite and completing extensive surface exploration at the Tungstonia and Rees claim
blocks.
This Program will execute the entire Phase 1 of the recommended work program from Spartan’s July 31,
2025, NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Eagle Project and will be expanded to include the Surface Geology
Program component of Phase 2. Results acquired from this campaign will be used to support future work
plans and drill target generation.
Tungstonia Mill Tailings Characterization
The characterization of Tungstonia Millsite tailings will be the primary focus of the exploration activities
and drilling will begin on October 20, 2025. Drilling at the historic tailings site will use a hollow stem auger
to collect samples. All samples collected will be used for thorough geochemical and metallurgical analysis,
as well as to define the overall geometry for tonnage calculations, 3D modeling, quantitative assessment,
resource estimation, and economic evaluation.
Surface Geology Program
The surface geology program will encompass both Tungstonia and Rees Claim blocks, with an emphasis on
comprehensive soil sampling at an approximate 100 m x 100 metre (“m”) grid (Figures 2 and 3), expanded
rock and outcrop sampling, geologic mapping, and geophysical investigations —including Controlled
Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) and/or Magnetotellurics (MT)—at Tungstonia. These
efforts aim to more accur ately define the lateral and vertical extent of existing tungsten -silver-rubidium
veins, identify new vein occurrences (Figure 4), and determine high-potential drill targets.

About The Eagle Project
The Eagle Project (“Project”) presents a unique opportunity to delineate one of the largest and highest -
grade Tungsten and Rubidium districts in the United States. The Project consists of the past -producing
high-grade Tungstonia (W) and Rees/Antelope tungsten (W-Cu-Ag) mines. Operations at these mines were
from 1915 to 1942 with intermittent small -scale production occurring until 1956. Tungsten production
from these two mines totaled 8,379 units at grades between 0.6%-0.9% WO3 (1).
The Project is ~20 km² in size and located approximately 120 kilometers northeast of the town of Ely, in
the Kern Mountains of White Pine County, Nevada. The Project covers 4,936 acres consisting of 244 Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) unpatented lode mining claims.
Three deposit types are present at Eagle; Porphyry, Skarn, and Carbonate Replacement (CRD) that contain
significant or anomalous grades of Tungsten (W), Silver (Ag), and Rubidium (Rb) plus Cu-Ag-Sb±Au-Pb-Zn-
Bi-As across three project focus areas that includes the potential to recover W -Rb-Ag from the legacy
Tungstonia Mill Tailings.

About Spartan Metals Corp.
Spartan Metals is focused on developing critical minerals projects in top -tier mining jurisdictions 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 that consists of the highest-grade historic
tungsten resource in the USA (the past-producing Tungstonia Mine) along with significant under-defined
resources consisting of: high -grade rubidium; antimony; bismuth; indium; as well as precious and base
metals. More information about Spartan Metals can be found at www.SpartanMetals.com
