Leopard Lake Gold Corp. has commended the efforts of U.S. authorities to accelerate domestic production of critical minerals, including tungsten, to strengthen the country’s economic and industrial security. This initiative, which includes measures to fast-track project approvals and establish a secure supply chain, aligns perfectly with Leopard Lake’s strategic vision and represents a major opportunity for the North American mining industry.

Leopard Lake owns the historic St-Robert Metals mines, located just 30 kilometres from the U.S. border. With an estimated resource of 1.2 million tonnes of tungsten grading 0.59 per cent, 129,000 tonnes at 0.6 per cent, 110,000 tonnes at 0.15 per cent and 147,000 tonnes at 0.128 per cent, this project is a key asset in ensuring a reliable North American supply of critical minerals.

Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral due to its strategic applications in defence, aerospace and high performance manufacturing industries. As both the Canadian and U.S. governments seek to strengthen their critical metal supply chains, Leopard Lake is well positioned to become a key player in North American tungsten production.

The St-Robert Metals mines benefit from a strategic location and significant redevelopment potential, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to the global effort to secure essential mineral resources.
