Recorded at the New Orleans Investment Conference (NOIC) 2026, Kai Hoffmann sits down with Brett Marsh, President and CEO of Spartan Metals, to discuss the company's U.S.-focused critical minerals strategy and its exploration and development plans for tungsten assets. Spartan Metals is advancing a portfolio of projects in Nevada and New Mexico, with tungsten playing a central role in the company's strategy to evaluate domestic sources of critical minerals. Brett discusses the company's mineral resource work, historical exploration information and the technical studies required to advance its projects toward potential development. The conversation explores the strategic importance of tungsten, the potential for U.S. government support of domestic critical mineral supply chains, and the opportunities and challenges facing junior exploration companies operating in the United States. A major focus is the company's permitting and exploration strategy in Nevada, including recently permitted drill pads and plans to investigate additional targets. With growing attention on critical mineral supply chains, Spartan Metals is focused on evaluating its tungsten resources and advancing projects through systematic exploration and technical studies.
