$PMM has secured USFS approval for its maiden drilling program at the Springfield Tungsten, Gold and Gallium Project, marking a major milestone in testing a large-scale mineral system identified through recent exploration.

The approval enables the first modern drill campaign designed to evaluate targets extending well beyond the historic Springfield Mine footprint.

A little bit of commentary from me regarding the ever-soaring tungsten prices and some of the reasons behind it. #tungsten

[Phoenix Global Investments @scuff_peg]

Phoenix is pleased to share an update from Pioneer Minerals (ASX: $PMM) CEO Michael Beven on the strengthening tungsten market and the strategic potential of the Springfield Deposit in Idaho.

Tungsten prices have risen from ~US$500/MTU in 2025 to ~US$2,500/MTU today, driven by tightening supply. The transcript notes that China controls ~83% of global tungsten supply, and its May 2025 export restrictions have added further pressure to Western markets.

Against this backdrop, Pioneer’s Springfield Deposit is gaining importance, with mineralisation linked to a 2.9km-long magnetic anomaly. With restart potential and further exploration ahead, Pioneer is building exposure to a highly strategic U.S. critical minerals opportunity

Exploring how Pioneer Minerals (ASX:PMM) $PMM is chasing scale in Idaho’s emerging tungsten corridor through its North Pine Project (includes historical Springfield Mine), targeting critical minerals essential to defence, energy and advanced manufacturing supply chains.

A fascinating look at the strategic geology, exploration plans and growing importance of US-based tungsten, Gold and antimony projects.

[Michael Beven @MBeven52640]

APT tungsten at US$3,000/mtu underscores tightening global supply and rising strategic importance of new Western sources.

Pioneer Minerals’ Springfield Tungsten Project (Idaho) is advancing exploration and development pathways aimed at supporting future US domestic supply.

Key Highlights
• Preliminary test work upgraded tungsten grades by up to 17.6x from historic Springfield tailings material.
• Gravity separation produced high-grade concentrates up to 25,942 ppm W (~3.27% WO₃).
• Heavy liquid separation delivered a dense mineral sink fraction grading ~1.14% WO₃, confirming tungsten occurs in high-density mineral phases.
• Size-by-assay results show tungsten enrichment in fine particle fractions, reaching ~0.41% WO₃.
• Results support the ongoing metallurgical recovery program at the North Pine Project.
• Near-term work includes access road upgrades, EM geophysical survey, drilling permits and potential US government funding applications

Tungsten prices continue to push to record highs, reflecting tightening global supply and increasing geopolitical focus on critical minerals. With China dominating production and Western governments prioritising secure supply chains, projects like Springfield in Idaho are becoming strategically important.

Phoenix is pleased to share an update from Pioneer Minerals (ASX: $PMM) CEO Michael Bevan on a major geophysical breakthrough at the Springfield Prospect, part of the North Pine Project in Idaho.

A high-resolution airborne magnetic survey has defined a large, coherent magnetic anomaly ~2.9 km long and up to 600 m wide, directly coincident with the historic Springfield tungsten mine. Independent interpretation by Mitre Geophysics confirms the anomaly is linked to either a previously unrecognised metasedimentary roof pendant or a pyrrhotite-rich sulphide zone, both highly prospective for tungsten mineralisation.

Petrographic studies confirm a strong scheelite–pyrrhotite genetic association, establishing pyrrhotite as a key magnetic proxy for tungsten. With most of the system historically untested, Pioneer is now planning extensive ground follow-up to refine drill targets.

Stay tuned for further updates.

🌎 is finding out 2️⃣ key things tungsten (among many others):

1) How ubiquitous this metal is across a wide range of industries and use cases.

&

2) How generally irreplaceable it is given its extremely unique physical properties.

@GuardianMetRes figured this out 4️⃣ years ago.

[Michael Beven @MBeven52640]

The results of the magnetic survey at the North Pine and Springfield project are a potential game changer. This magnetic anomaly is far bigger than I ever expected. The potential size and scale of discovery at Springfield has increased exponentially!

Pioneer Minerals (ASX: $PMM) – Major Geophysical Breakthrough Confirms District-Scale Tungsten Potential at Springfield, Idaho

Pioneer has delivered a major technical breakthrough at the Springfield Prospect, with new independent geophysical interpretation confirming a large, coherent magnetic system directly associated with high-grade tungsten mineralisation.
Key highlights:
• District-scale magnetic anomaly defined, extending ~2.9km along strike and up to 600m wide, far exceeding the footprint of historic mining
• Independent interpretation links the anomaly to either a metasedimentary roof pendant or a pyrrhotite-rich skarn system, both highly prospective for tungsten
• Genetic link confirmed between scheelite and pyrrhotite, establishing pyrrhotite as a reliable magnetic proxy for tungsten mineralisation
• Rock-chip sampling confirms a high-grade reduced tungsten skarn, with results up to 2.98% WO₃, spatially coincident with the magnetic feature
• Historical mining tested only a small portion of the system, leaving the majority of the magnetic anomaly untested by modern exploration
• Geological setting and magnetic response show strong similarities to the Dolphin tungsten deposit (King Island, Tasmania)
• Results materially upgrade Springfield to a priority, district-scale tungsten target within Pioneer’s US critical minerals portfolio
With geophysics, petrography and geochemistry now fully aligned, Springfield is emerging as a large-scale tungsten system with significant upside.
