Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX:RML, OTCQB:RLMLF, FRA:NC3) has secured US Federal FAST-41 Transparency coverage for its Golden Gate tungsten-gold target in Idaho, potentially accelerating permitting and development across the company's wider Horse Heaven critical minerals project.
The designation is Resolution's second FAST-41 status after Antimony Ridge was added to the program in April 2026, meaning both primary development targets at Horse Heaven have now been prioritised for streamlined federal permitting.
FAST-41 provides enhanced coordination between federal agencies, defined permitting milestones and public tracking through the US Federal Permitting Dashboard.
"We are very pleased that Golden Gate has been selected for FAST-41 Transparency Coverage. We now have two separate development targets within the Horse Heaven Project under the FAST-41 program," Craig Lindsay, Resolution's CEO - US Operations, said.
"Interestingly, I am not aware of any other critical metals company with two FAST-41 projects, which I believe is a mark of the potential importance of Horse Heaven in the US achieving its goal of developing domestic supplies of both antimony and tungsten. Golden Gate represents a key piece of Resolution's broader strategy to develop a U.S.-based critical minerals platform. With exploration, processing infrastructure and multiple development pathways now coming together at Horse Heaven, we believe the Company is uniquely positioned to capitalise on strong demand for antimony, tungsten and gold."
Federal support strengthens development pathway
The designation reflects Golden Gate's strategic potential as a domestic source of tungsten, a metal considered important to US national security and supply-chain resilience .
The company has been working with the US Permitting Council and other federal agencies, which have reviewed its assets and recognised their potential role in addressing domestic shortages of critical metals.
Resolution expects FAST-41 coverage to shorten permitting timelines, improve visibility among investors and support engagement with strategic partners and funding groups aligned with US critical minerals policy.
The US Forest Service also intends to assess the Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge plans of operation under a single National Environmental Policy Act process, potentially improving permitting efficiency across both targets.
Golden Gate drilling and development program
Golden Gate forms part of Resolution's wholly owned, 15,000-acre Horse Heaven tungsten-antimony-gold project, immediately adjacent to Perpetua Resources' recently permitted Stibnite Gold Project.
The target includes the past-producing Golden Gate Tungsten Mine, which operated intermittently between about 1952 and 1980 and recorded historical production grades of between 1.5% and 2.0% tungsten.
A Golden Gate plan of operations has been accepted by the US Forest Service. The proposed program includes new roads connecting Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South, up to 340 drill holes and 2,000 feet of trenching.
Resolution is also progressing a fully funded 13,700-metre drilling campaign, with 22 holes completed and initial results from the first holes expected by the end of July. The program is testing whether Golden Gate North and South could form one large, continuous mineralised system.
