The United States has not operated a single tungsten mine in over a decade, leaving the nation dangerously dependent on foreign countries for a metal critical to defense, semiconductors, and manufacturing. CEO Oliver Friesen goes Inside the ICE House to detail how Guardian Metal Resources is racing to bring two Nevada tungsten mines into commercial production before the end of 2028. He discusses China's sweeping export ban, the national security stakes of domestic supply chains, and how partnerships with the Department of War and Montana Mining Association are accelerating progress.

Fox Tungsten is advancing its 100%-owned Fox Tungsten Project in central British Columbia, what it says is one of the highest-grade tungsten deposits in the world. CEO Stephen Gray spoke to Mining Stock Daily. In June, the company announced a fully-funded 20,000-metre drill program aimed at expanding the current resource of 582,400 tonnes at 0.83% WO3 (Indicated) and 565,400 tonnes at 1.23% WO3 (Inferred) ahead of a targeted preliminary economic assessment in H1 2027.

Independent consulting geologist Dr Peter Megaw, fresh from a site visit to Domestic Metals Corp's Smart Creek project near Philipsburg, Montana, tells Proactive that the project's western Sunrise area is a very high potential target for an undiscovered gold-tungsten skarn. Historic placer mining for gold and tungsten has been active in the area, but the bedrock source of those placers has never been found. Megaw believes a skarn deposit upstream is the most likely explanation. Megaw explains why the Philipsburg region is exceptionally well endowed with copper, gold, silver, lead, and zinc. He points to the nearby Butte district—home to one of the world's largest copper deposits and at least two major porphyry centers—as evidence that the area sits within genuine elephant country for mineral discovery. Porphyry copper systems, he notes, occur in large regional clusters, and Butte is not alone. The geologist outlines how porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) systems form part of a single continuum. Where reactive limestone and dolomite host rocks are present, as at Smart Creek and Philipsburg, the same mineralizing fluids that created Butte's giant vein system can instead produce skarns and CRDs. Smart Creek has both the right geological ingredients and the right host rocks. On what makes an old mining district worth revisiting, Megaw says the key is identifying hallmarks of large, long-lived systems and using modern geophysical techniques to locate mineralization the original miners missed. At Smart Creek, he says those signs are present, with an active copper zone already under exploration and the Sunrise gold-tungsten target representing a separate and distinct opportunity. #DomesticMetalsCorp #DMCO #SmartCreek #Montana #copper #gold #tungsten #miningexploration #juniorminers #resourceinvesting

Blue Moon Metals CEO Christian Kargl-Simmard joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss the company's expanding U.S. critical-minerals strategy. Blue Moon recently acquired a portfolio of tungsten and antimony projects intended to feed its Springer complex in Nevada, while advancing construction at the Nussir copper project in Norway. Christian also highlights the growing importance of the Apex germanium-gallium project in Utah, where bulk sampling has returned exceptional grades. The conversation covers ore sorting, project financing, potential strategic partners, and Blue Moon's push to bring four brownfield mines into production.

Fox Tungsten CEO Steve Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's fully funded 20,000-metre diamond drill program at the Fox Project in British Columbia, where drilling has intersected visible scheelite mineralization across multiple target areas. Gray said that while analytical assay results are still pending, visual observations from the drilling campaign are encouraging and suggest the exploration program is successfully expanding the project's mineralized footprint. The company has also identified several previously unrecognized parallel mineralized zones at the Fox North target. Visible scheelite has been observed in 100% of the exploration holes completed at Fox North, as well as in all seven reverse circulation resource expansion holes drilled to date, providing further confidence in the continuity of mineralization. Fox Tungsten continues to operate two diamond drill rigs as part of the ongoing 20,000-metre program. Initial assay results are expected in the coming weeks and will provide further insight into the grade and extent of the mineralized zones. Management believes the early drilling results reinforce the potential to expand the Fox Project's tungsten resource and further define one of North America's emerging critical minerals assets. #proactiveinvestors #happycreekmineralsltd #tsxv #foxt #Tungsten #FoxTungsten #TungstenProject #Mining #CriticalMinerals #Tungsten #BritishColumbia #Drilling #ResourceDevelopment #MiningNews #Scheelite

Lightning Minerals managing director Troy Brice talked with Proactive about the completion of phase-two exploration at the company's wholly owned Warby Tungsten Project in North Queensland. The recently completed field program collected around 90 samples from priority targets as Lightning Minerals works toward identifying potential sites for an initial drilling campaign. Brice said the program had been completed ahead of schedule and under budget, with the latest geological mapping and sampling continuing to strengthen the company's understanding of the project. Assay results are expected around mid-August. Lightning Minerals will use those results to refine its geological model and determine where clusters of higher-grade tungsten mineralisation may be present. The company is also considering geophysical work to improve the accuracy of future drill targeting and ensure exploration capital is deployed carefully. Brice also discussed Warby's location near the operating Mount Carbine tungsten mine and the strategic importance of establishing secure Australian supplies of tungsten. Depending on the results of the current program, initial drilling could take place late in the year or early the following year.

Interview with Stephen Gray, President & CEO of Fox TungstenRecording date: 11th July 2026Fox Tungsten is advancing its high-grade Fox project in southern British Columbia, aiming to position it as a rare North American source of tungsten amid tightening global supply. The deposit averages roughly 1% tungsten, which management equates to about 20 grams per tonne gold or 25% copper at current prices, placing it among the higher-grade tungsten projects globally. However, its current resource of just over 1 million tonnes is considered too small to support economic development, prompting an aggressive 20,000-metre drilling campaign in 2026.The ongoing program, supported by two active rigs, focuses primarily on infill drilling between three known zones to expand the resource toward a target of approximately 3 million tonnes—seen as the minimum scale required for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). A smaller portion of drilling will test deeper extensions of the deposit for potential underground development, marking the first step toward longer-term growth.Metallurgical testing indicates a relatively simple processing route, with gravity separation achieving about 75% recovery into a high-grade tungsten concentrate exceeding 60%. The ore is also considered environmentally favorable, lacking harmful elements and unlikely to generate acid. Additional flotation testing is planned to potentially improve recovery further.Infrastructure advantages strengthen the project's outlook, including road access, proximity to regional services, and an existing power line. The company is well-funded, with approximately C$15 million in working capital following a recent financing, sufficient to complete drilling and advance toward a PEA expected in 2027.Fox Tungsten's strategy is supported by strong market dynamics. Tungsten prices have risen sharply due to both geopolitical pressures—particularly Chinese export constraints—and a broader structural supply deficit. With no active tungsten mines in North America, the Fox project could play a key role in diversifying supply if development progresses as planned.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Fox Tungsten CEO Steve Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the start of the company's fully funded 20,000-metre drill program at the Fox Project in south-central British Columbia, marking a major step in advancing the company's flagship tungsten asset. Gray said the first of two planned diamond drill rigs has now been mobilized to site and drilling is underway at the project, located about 75 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House. A second rig is expected to arrive in early July, allowing the company to ramp up activity across multiple targets during the 2026 field season. Approximately 60% of the drill program will focus on expanding the existing Fox mineral resource in support of an updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) targeted for the first half of 2027. Key priorities include testing the continuity of mineralization between the BN, RC, and BK zones along strike, as well as drilling down-dip extensions of the BN and RC zones. Another 30% of the drilling will target high-priority exploration opportunities across the broader Fox property with the goal of identifying new tungsten-bearing zones and increasing the project's long-term growth potential. This work will include testing deeper extensions of known resource areas as well as new targets at Fox North and the August Showing. The remaining 10% of drilling will be directed toward the nearby Silverboss property, where Fox plans to evaluate prospective copper and molybdenum targets. Planned targets include potential molybdenum mineralization northwest of Glencore's former Boss Mountain mine at the 10 Mile Creek target, along with the Gus Zone copper soil anomaly. Drilling is expected to continue through October 2026, with assay results to be released periodically as they become available. Management believes the program has the potential to both grow the existing Fox resource and unlock additional exploration upside across the company's broader land package. #proactiveinvestors #happycreekmineralsltd #tsxv #foxt #Tungsten #FoxTungsten #TungstenProject #Mining #CriticalMinerals #Tungsten #Exploration #BritishColumbia #ResourceDevelopment #Commodities #Drilling #Investing #PEA #CopperExploration #Molybdenum

We are trusted to help businesses achieve unprecedented efficiencies and reduce costs through document and workflow automation, allowing them to scale and future-proof their business. Key Takeaways: The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents In "The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents with Tungsten Automation's Patrick Van Hull" Joe Lynch and Patrick Van Hull, Supply Chain Industry Consultant at Tungsten Automation, discuss how intelligent document processing eliminates manual data traps to drive logistics efficiency and cost savings. Tungsten Automation Profile: Formerly Kofax, Tungsten is a global leader in AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and advanced workflow automation. Backed by a 40-year legacy, 2,200 employees, and 25,000+ global customers, the company was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IDP. Their cloud-based platform sits cleanly over multiple, fragmented ERP and TMS networks to pull and push data seamlessly. Escaping the "Dark Data Trap": Moving a single international ocean container can require upwards of 30 separate documents. Because traditional TMS and ERP platforms can't read unstructured data (like dense PDFs, faxes, or Excel spreadsheets), this critical info becomes trapped "dark data." Tungsten uses IDP to automatically ingest, classify, and extract line-item data from over 40 different logistics document types, turning paper trails into structured, digital assets. Slashing AP Errors & Driving Revenue: Manual touchpoints in freight invoicing lead to constant billing discrepancies and human errors. Through automated multi-way matching, reconciliation, and automated exception handling, Tungsten drives "zero-touch" processing for order management and invoices. In one case study, acting as an automated "quality check" against contracted rates helped a major freight shipper capture an incremental $20 million in annual revenue. Preventing Customs and Shipment Delays: When data errors or missing documents hit customs or a port, shipments grind to a halt, triggering costly penalties, demurrage fees, and port congestion. Tungsten automates data extraction and email ingestion for customs clearance, validating regulatory documentation and compliance checks before shipments ever hit major bottlenecks. Accelerating Carrier and Supplier Onboarding: Traditional onboarding forces procurement teams into a weeks-long "paper chase" of manual risk assessments and compliance reviews. Tungsten uses automated self-service portals paired with automated risk assessments—such as using the platform to instantly verify the legitimacy of bank and credit statements—condensing onboarding timelines from weeks down to a matter of days. Bridging the Gap Between AI Hype and Reality: AI cannot solve supply chain issues without clean, unified data. Patrick notes that trying to run raw, messy documents entirely through an unguided Large Language Model (LLM) can cause the AI to run wild, exhausting months' worth of token allocations in a single week. Tungsten effectively solves this by embedding AI directly into workflows, blending traditional rules-based automation (RPA) for standard patterns with Generative and Agentic AI to manage highly complex exceptions. Elevating the Human Experience: Eliminating rudimentary data entry is ultimately a personal win for the workforce. Moving away from "swivel chair activity" and manual data chasing reduces friction and human error. By shifting repetitive tasks to automated workflows, logistics employees are freed up to use human ingenuity, focus on creative problem-solving, and ultimately enjoy more meaningful, higher-value work.

While his nine-year-old son was fighting stage three cancer, Nick Stevens was driving around buying up scrap tungsten carbide just to keep food on the table. It worked well enough that one day, sitting in the hospital room, his son said to him: “Dad, why don’t you just start your own business and be your own boss?” Today Nick and his cousin Joey run JC Metals, going around the country paying cash on the spot for the carbide piling up in shops. And they refuse to sell a pound of it overseas even when buyers offer them more money to do it. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

Main Points While You Wait, the Price Moves Carbide tooling has gotten expensive. Between the tariffs and China restricting exports, prices have been swinging all over the place. Every machine shop has scrap carbide sitting around, worn inserts and chipped end mills that are useless for precision work but still worth real money as raw material. A lot of shops don’t realize how much. Nick says he walks into places with piles of carbide they’re practically throwing away, not knowing it’s worth $40,000 or $50,000. JC Metals buys it and sells it to a private US processor, one that recently received what Nick describes as an $11 million government grant to buy up as much domestic carbide as possible and keep it in American manufacturing. The major toolmakers all have their own buyback programs too. Kennametal, Sandvik, Seco. They work, but the model is the same: ship your material out and wait on a check for 15 to 30 days. With prices moving the way they are, the number you agreed to when you shipped is not the same number when the check clears. JC Metals shows up with their own scales, weighs everything in front of you, and pays you that day. Cash, wire, Zelle, ACH, whatever you want. The Geopolitics of Scrap China controls about 85 percent of the world’s tungsten carbide supply and has been cutting off exports. Foreign buyers have been approaching American shops directly, offering 30 to 40 percent more per pound to ship the material back overseas. Nick says he outbid one of those buyers last month, knowing he would lose money doing it, because he didn’t want the material leaving the country. Tungsten carbide is a core component of armor-piercing ammunition, from rifle rounds to tank rounds. It’s also used in nuclear weapons casing. Until this interview I knew tungsten carbide was a big deal for manufacturers. I had no idea about the national security ramifications. Changing the Scrapper Stigma My great grandfather was in the scrap metal business. One reason my grandfather went into used machinery instead was that he found the scrap business unsavory, manipulating scales, shady deals. When we had a warehouse it wasn’t uncommon for scrappers to pull up in a truck and steal from Graff-Pinkert. Nick and Joey bring their own scales so there’s no question about the weight. The company name, JC Metals, stands for Jesus Christ Metals, a nod to the faith that carried them through Jack’s illness. Jack Stevens, Nick’s son, is ten months cancer free. Question: What do you do with your scrap carbide?

Tungsten is something of a paradox. It has the highest tensile strength of any pure element, making it extremely difficult to pull apart. But the Mead Metal website notes, “In terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak—it’s a brittle metal known to shatter on impact.” It’s fascinating that tungsten, the strongest natural metal, is also so weak and brittle. Human beings display a similar characteristic. Though capable of great strength both physically and mentally, we’re easily crushed under the weight of this fallen, broken world. Paul experienced this personally. In 2 Corinthians 11, he described experiences that overwhelmed him (vv. 23-29). But God encouraged him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul resolved, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Earlier in 2 Corinthians, Paul had written, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed” (4:8). There’s hope, even though the strongest child of God knows all too well that this world is simply too much for us. We’re happily dependent on the strength of His grace if we are to endure.

Chris Berry interviews Christian Kargl-Simard, CEO of Blue Moon Metals, about his transition from metallurgical engineering into the world of junior base and critical metal production. Kargl-Simard shares insights on Blue Moon's portfolio of five brownfield, permitted assets located in stable jurisdictions such as the United States and Norway. A primary focus of the discussion is the critical role of geopolitics in the mining sector, highlighting how the need for domestic security of supply is driving intense interest in tungsten, gallium, and germanium. He outlines his operational strategy, specifically a "hub and spoke" model centered around the Springer asset in Nevada, which aims to minimize risk and accelerate the timeline to production. Finally, the episode explores the surge of capital from U.S. institutional investors following Blue Moon's NASDAQ listing and why the current critical metals narrative represents a multi-decade shift in global supply chains.

rWotD Episode 3272: Tungsten disulfide Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 19 April 2026, is Tungsten disulfide.Tungsten disulfide is an inorganic chemical compound composed of tungsten and sulfur with the chemical formula WS2. This compound is part of the group of materials called the transition metal dichalcogenides. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral tungstenite. This material is a component of certain catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification.WS2 adopts a layered structure similar, or isotypic with MoS2, instead with W atoms situated in trigonal prismatic coordination sphere (in place of Mo atoms). Owing to this layered structure, WS2 forms non-carbon nanotubes, which were discovered after heating a thin sample of WS2 in 1992.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Sunday, 19 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Tungsten disulfide on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back John Feneck to the show. John is CEO of the Feneck Consulting Group. In this in-depth discussion, Feneck shares insights into critical minerals, defense metals, and investment opportunities across various sectors. John is particularly bullish on tungsten, highlighting that China currently produces about 81% of the world’s tungsten supply, creating significant potential for Western mining companies. Feneck specifically recommends two companies as promising tungsten-focused investments. He notes the critical mineral space is receiving substantial government attention, with the US dedicating $112 billion to support critical mineral development. The geopolitical landscape, particularly tensions with China and ongoing conflicts, further underscore the importance of diversifying mineral supply chains. In the silver market, Feneck maintains an optimistic outlook. He currently holds an 18% portfolio position in silver and suggests the metal has significant upside potential. Regarding gold, Feneck believes there’s still substantial room for growth. Major banks like JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs are maintaining forecasts between $5,500 and $6,000, indicating continued confidence in the sector. The discussion also touches on broader market dynamics, including potential sector rotation away from technology and AI stocks. Feneck emphasizes the importance of understanding market volatility and being prepared for potential short-term pullbacks.

What happens when the noise around AI starts to drown out the actual business value it is meant to deliver? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Adam Field, Chief AI and Product Officer at Tungsten Automation, fresh from the conversations unfolding at Davos. While headlines continue to celebrate agentic AI and sweeping automation claims, Adam offered a grounded perspective shaped by decades of experience turning AI pilots into measurable, ROI-driven deployments. His view is simple. The hype cycle may be accelerating, but many organizations still struggle with the fundamentals. Adam described a common boardroom dynamic. "What do we want? AI. What do we want it to do? We're not sure." That pressure to move fast often collides with a deeper reality. Software has shifted from deterministic to probabilistic. Leaders who grew up expecting the same inputs to always produce the same outputs now face systems that behave differently by design. Measuring value in that environment requires a different mindset. One of the most compelling ideas in our conversation was Adam's concept of "boring AI." While splashy announcements about replacing hundreds of employees grab attention, he argues that real returns often come from quieter use cases. At Tungsten Automation, that means intelligent document processing, extracting trusted, AI-ready data from the 80 percent of enterprise information that is unstructured. Contracts, invoices, transcripts, compliance paperwork. The work may not trend on social media, but it saves time, improves accuracy, and fits directly into daily workflows. We also explored accountability. AI can compress output, but it concentrates responsibility. When generative tools make architectural or compliance decisions, the liability does not shift to the model. Organizations remain accountable for privacy, ethics, and customer trust. Adam shared his own experience rebuilding a legacy application in days using AI code generation, only to discover licensing and compliance nuances that required human judgment. The lesson was clear. AI amplifies capability, yet human oversight remains essential. For leaders searching for signals that an AI strategy will actually deliver long-term returns, Adam pointed to two patterns from the small percentage of projects that succeed. First, integration into daily workflows drives adoption. Second, partnering with trusted vendors often reduces risk compared to attempting everything in-house. In a world flooded with open-source experiments and "X is dead" headlines, discipline and focus still matter. Tungsten Automation has spent four decades evolving alongside automation technologies, previously known as Kofax. Today, the company applies large language models and agentic workflows to transform unstructured data into decision-ready insights across finance, logistics, banking, and insurance. It is a reminder that the future of AI may be less about replacing people and more about removing friction so humans can do the work they were actually hired to do. So as AI investment continues to grow and pressure for returns intensifies, the question becomes harder to ignore. Are we chasing the headlines, or are we building systems that quietly deliver value where it counts? Useful Links Connect with Adam Field Learn more about Tungsten Automation Upcoming Events
