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.

Cornerstone focuses on developing prototype projects and capabilities to address specific needs within the defence related industrial base, such as improving artillery systems or enhancing the supply chain for critical materials. This directly benefits US armed forces by providing them with advanced equipment and solutions that improve their effectiveness and safety.
Oliver Friesen of Guardian Metals commented:
"In 2025, our partnership with the U.S. Government has advanced significantly, highlighted by our acceptance into critical programmes such as DIBC and Cornerstone. Over the year, we also joined the DARPA-sponsored Critical Minerals Forum and most importantly, secured a DPA Title III award from the United States Department of Defense. Collectively, these milestones underscore the strategic importance of our tungsten projects to U.S. national security, and we look forward to further strengthening our relationship with the U.S. Government in support of these critical objectives."
