Terra Critical Minerals has doubled its landholding at the True American tungsten project in Nevada, U.S., expanding the project area to approximately 1,130 acres.
The company also confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralisation from surface samples including 2.73 per cent tungsten trioxide.
Terra also located the historically reported Southern Adit, which will be a priority for the upcoming exploration program.
The True American tungsten project has not been subject to modern exploration since the mid-1940s and represents a highly under-explored tungsten system.
Terra Chairman Andrew Vigar said: “Recognising high-grade tungsten mineralisation within structurally controlled veins is particularly encouraging and highlights how the project has been overlooked historically, with previous work focused primarily on scheelite hosted within skarn contracts.
“We have expanded the land position to ensure the company controls the strike extent of the vein system, which Terra believes holds significant potential.
“Furthermore, we have now confirmed the locations of two historical adits that were the source of tungsten production in the 1940s.
“With the expanded land position, locations of historical production known and results indicating a broader style of mineralisation than previously recognised is evident across the property, Terra is well positioned to tap into this new exploration upside across the project.”
The expanded land package secures prospective ground along strike of both skarn contacts and vein corridors, including areas that were not included in the original claim package.
The identification high-grade tungsten mineralisation significantly enhances the project’s exploration potential and provides multiple target styles for follow-up work.
Terra plans to map and sample historic underground workings in spring 2026, as well geological mapping and structural analysis to advance towards drill targeting.
