en.Wedoany.com Reported - Vault Strategic Mining Corp. has dispatched an exploration team to the War Bond tungsten project in Nevada, USA, which encompasses three historical tungsten mining areas: Historical War Bond, Historical Tactite, and Historical Thursday. According to the Annual Survey of Mining Companies released by the Fraser Institute on February 26, 2026, Nevada was ranked as the top mining jurisdiction.
Quinn Field-Dyte, CEO of Vault Strategic Mining Corp., stated that the current exploration work at the War Bond project aims to generate rigorous drill targets. He noted that the company is applying modern exploration methods to historical tungsten mining areas in Nevada, and the team has commenced comprehensive fieldwork on the Historical War Bond, Tactite, and Thursday tungsten mining areas. With Nevada's long mining history and well-established infrastructure, the company's near-term objectives are to verify and consolidate historical information, complete field validation, and advance the project toward generating rigorous drill targets.
The company's fully funded initial exploration program focuses on a modern geological assessment of the historical War Bond tungsten system. Proposed work includes: detailed mapping of intrusive-carbonate contacts and skarn zonation, involving garnet, epidote, and scheelite-bearing zones; underground and surface verification of historical workings, including accessible extraction faces and waste dumps; channel sampling of skarnoid and adjacent structures, following QA/QC protocols; assessment of scheelite distribution and continuity using portable ultraviolet lamps; structural measurements to define mineralization controls, plunge directions, and potential extensions; and the development of high-priority drill targets, including coordinates, cross-sections, and conceptual hole locations.
The War Bond claim group consists of 20 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 400 acres, located in the Delaware Mining District of western Nevada. The group includes the Historical War Bond tungsten mine, the Tactite and Thursday historical tungsten extraction faces, and the Alex Eske historical tungsten occurrence. According to Western Mining History, based on MRDS records, the War Bond mine is identified as a tungsten mine in Douglas County, Nevada, with Tactite, Thursday, Old Discovery, and Knight claims listed as secondary names.
Another MRDS record lists Tactite & Thursday, Old Discovery Claim, Knight Claims, Tungsten Valley Claim, Yellow Problem Claim, and Margret Claim as secondary names, with Carson Tungsten Co. listed as the owner, information year 1952, and operating category as a past producer. Historical descriptions indicate that tungsten mineralization in the area is associated with scheelite-bearing skarnoid or skarn near granite-limestone contacts. A publication by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, "Mineral Resources of Douglas, Ormsby, and Washoe Counties," notes that the Tactite Thursday claims are located approximately 15 miles southeast of Carson City, with scheelite occurring in small skarnoid areas near granite-limestone contacts.
The MRDS-based Tactite Thursday record describes the occurrence as a W skarn (tungsten skarn), with scheelite as the ore mineral and epidote, garnet, quartz, and calcite as gangue minerals. The record reports two main mineralized zones: a western zone with narrow scheelite widths grading up to 0.3% WO₃; and an eastern zone where scheelite occurs in small pockets with WO₃ values ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% over widths of 4 to 8 feet. The document "Preliminary Examination of Tactite and Thursday Group" in the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology digital library records select sample and waste dump sample results from 1942 and 1943: a select sample from the upper location hole of Tactite Claim No. 1 assayed 14.40% WO₃; two other samples assayed 0.8% and 0.9% WO₃; and in 1943, the University of Nevada State Analytical Mining Laboratory reported metamorphic rock containing garnet and trace scheelite, assaying 0.35% WO₃.
Historical production information includes: the War Bond mine MRDS record listing production in 1953, a timeframe of 1952 to 1953, and a grade description of approximately 0.3% to 0.45% WO₃. The Tactite Thursday record notes that a 250-ton test batch of material averaging 0.3% WO₃ was mined from the Old Discovery East Pit. The project represents a historically explored tungsten skarn system with documented scheelite-bearing skarnoid mineralization, historical surface workings, and historical sampling. The company cautions that this historical information does not meet current NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon, but it is considered relevant for exploration target definition and geological interpretation.
