Mine Site Preparation and Exploration Work
American Tungsten Corp. Commences Mine Site Preparation and
Exploration Work
Vancouver, BC, May 27, 2025 – American Tungsten Corp. (CSE:TUNG) (OTCQB:DEMRF)
(FSE:RK9) (“American Tungsten” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company
has commenced construction and building work to support exploration and mine planning at its
Idaho-based tungsten project, the Ima Mine. The rehabilitation and exploratory review work will
enable definition drilling and bulk sampling to aid in the Company’s formation of its mine plan.
The I ma Mine is a past producing underground tungsten mine situated on 22 patented claims
located in East Central Idaho. Between 1945 and 1957, the property produced approximately
199,449 MTUs of WO3 and was subsequently explored for molybdenum and tungsten by various
operators between 1960-2008(1).
“With warmer summer months approaching, the team is excited to have come back from a
successful site visit that paves the way to rehabilitation, environmental sampling and stakeholder
relations in order to begin plans to bring Ima back to production,” said Ali Haji, CEO.
“Review and compilation of the historical drilling, sampling and metallurgical testing completed
by historical operators has identified multiple drill targets across the property and demonstrated
viability of gravity separation of tungsten and sulfide flotation processes .” said Austin Zinsser,
V.P. Exploration. “Last week we developed a plan to initiate work where the prior operator left
off, with delineation drilling and continued flowsheet development for the vein system on the
upper level.”
American Tungsten has contracted rehabilitation of certain sections of the property’s road, is
initiating collection of baseline environmental data and is conducting a thorough review on the
property’s infrastructure, and continues digitization of historical exploration information and
modeling.
