To date the company completed 11 D-level and 3 Zero-level holes (~5,000 ft); at least six additional D-level holes (~2,800 ft) are planned and Zero-level drilling could total ~10,000 ft.
American Tungsten (OTCQB: TUNGF) has started drilling on the Zero level of the IMA Mine in Lemhi County and put a second drill rig into operation on February 18, 2026.
Approximately 325 feet of the Zero level was rehabilitated, a new drill station (DSZ-1) established, and 9 holes (3,800 ft) currently designed from DSZ-1 with additional drilling planned including up to 15 holes (~10,000 ft) from a second Zero-level station. Prior work includes > 4,200 ft drilled in 11 holes from the D level and ~335 ft of new underground development.
Exploration uses historical data that has not been verified and there is insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource.
American Tungsten (OTCQB: TUNGF) reported initial underground drill results from the IMA Tungsten Project, Idaho, with multiple significant tungsten-silver intercepts. Highlights include 31 ft @ 0.48% WO3 & 1.84 oz/t Ag, 11.1 ft @ 1.08% WO3 & 2.05 oz/t Ag, and 16.3 ft @ 0.54% WO3 & 1.79 oz/t Ag.
Ten underground holes (~3,800 ft) were completed on the D-level; further assays and additional drilling from D and Zero levels are planned to support a mineral resource definition and metallurgy work.
American Tungsten (OTCQB: TUNGF) reported high-grade tungsten-silver assay results from underground channel sampling at the IMA Mine and confirming surface and tailings mineralization on January 20, 2026. No. 5 vein underground channels averaged 1.04% WO3 and 2.70 oz/t Ag over an average width of 5.0 ft. Surface rock chips returned up to 0.256% WO3 over 10 ft and 0.164% WO3 over 6.7 ft.
