Guardian Metal Resources PLC Announces Defense Industrial Base Consortium and Cornerstone
Guardian Metal Resources (OTCQB:GMTLF) has strengthened its U.S. government relations through membership in two strategic defense programs: the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) and the Cornerstone Program. This development follows the company's recent $6.2 million USD award from the U.S. Department of Defense for its Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada.
The DIBC focuses on enhancing the U.S. Defense industrial base resilience, while the Cornerstone Program, managed by the U.S. Army, aims to strengthen the U.S. industrial base and improve competitiveness in support of the Department of Defense. These memberships complement Guardian Metal's earlier participation in the DARPA-sponsored Critical Minerals Forum and its DPA Title III award, highlighting the strategic importance of its tungsten projects to U.S. national security.
Guardian Metal Resources (OTCQB:GMTLF) ha rafforzato i suoi rapporti con il governo degli Stati Uniti aderendo a due programmi strategici per la difesa: il Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) e il Cornerstone Program. Questa iniziativa arriva dopo che la società ha ottenuto un finanziamento di 6,2 milioni di USD dal Dipartimento della Difesa degli Stati Uniti per il progetto di tungsteno Pilot Mountain in Nevada.
Il DIBC si concentra sul miglioramento della resilienza della base industriale della Difesa statunitense, mentre il Cornerstone Program, gestito dall’esercito americano, mira a rafforzare la base industriale nazionale e a incrementare la competitività a supporto del Dipartimento della Difesa. Queste adesioni si aggiungono alla precedente partecipazione di Guardian Metal al Critical Minerals Forum sponsorizzato dalla DARPA e al suo premio DPA Title III, sottolineando l’importanza strategica dei suoi progetti di tungsteno per la sicurezza nazionale degli USA.
