en.Wedoany.com Reported - Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX:RML, OTCQB:RLMLF, FRA:NC3) has obtained US federal FAST-41 transparency coverage for its Golden Gate tungsten-gold target in Idaho, a program that could expedite the permitting and development of its broader Horse Heaven critical minerals project.

This marks Resolution's second FAST-41 designation after Antimony Ridge was included in the program in April 2026, meaning both major development targets at Horse Heaven now benefit from prioritized streamlined federal permitting.

The FAST-41 mechanism aims to enhance coordination among federal agencies, establish clear permitting milestones, and enable public tracking through the US Federal Permitting Dashboard, thereby improving project advancement efficiency.

Craig Lindsay, CEO of Resolution's US operations, stated that the company is very pleased that Golden Gate has been selected for FAST-41 transparency coverage, with two separate development targets now under the program at Horse Heaven. He noted that he is not aware of any other critical metals company with two FAST-41 projects, suggesting this underscores the potential importance of Horse Heaven in US efforts to achieve domestic antimony and tungsten supply goals. Lindsay pointed out that Golden Gate is a key part of Resolution's broader strategy to build a US critical metals platform, and with the integration of exploration, processing infrastructure, and multiple development pathways at Horse Heaven, the company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on strong demand for antimony, tungsten, and gold.

The designation reflects Golden Gate's strategic potential as a domestic source of tungsten, a metal deemed critical to US national security and supply chain resilience. The company continues to work with the US Permitting Council and other federal agencies, which have reviewed its assets and recognized their potential role in addressing domestic critical metals shortages.

Resolution expects FAST-41 coverage to shorten permitting timelines, enhance investor visibility, and support collaboration with strategic partners and financing groups aligned with US critical metals policies.

The US Forest Service plans to evaluate operating plans for both Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge under a single National Environmental Policy Act process, a move expected to improve permitting efficiency for both targets.

Golden Gate is part of Resolution's wholly owned Horse Heaven tungsten-antimony-gold project, which spans 15,000 acres and is adjacent to Perpetua Resources' recently permitted Stibnite gold project.

The target includes the historically producing Golden Gate tungsten mine, which operated intermittently between 1952 and 1980, with historical production grades of 1.5% to 2.0% tungsten.

The operating plan for Golden Gate has been accepted by the US Forest Service. The proposed plan includes new roads connecting Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South, up to 340 drill holes, and 2,000 feet of trenching.

Resolution is advancing a fully funded 13,700-meter drilling campaign, with 22 holes completed to date and initial results from the first holes expected by the end of July. The drilling program aims to test whether Golden Gate North and South may form a large, continuous mineralized system.
