American Tungsten & Antimony (ASX:AT4) announced plans to submit a notice of intent to begin exploration drilling at its Tennessee Mountain Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA.
The project, featuring a bulk-tonnage skarn system with tungsten mineralisation extending over 5km of strike, includes historically mined and trenched areas that are expected to simplify permitting and minimise environmental impact.
The upcoming diamond drilling program will focus on verifying high-grade historical intercepts—such as 24.67m at 0.65% WO₃ and 18.38m at 0.72% WO₃ from surface—and assessing the continuity of the system to support the establishment of a maiden JORC 2012 and/or SK-1300 compliant mineral resource.
Managing Director Andre Booyzen said, "Submitting the NOI is a crucial step in unlocking the value of this outstanding tungsten asset. By targeting previously disturbed and drill-tested areas, we aim to validate key historical data efficiently while reducing environmental impact, positioning AT4 as a key contributor to the domestic US tungsten supply at a time of heightened critical mineral security."
At the time of reporting, American Tungsten & Antimony's share price was $0.11.
