The Fort Worth Press - B&N Mining, Inc. Advances Toward Becoming America's Next Domestic Tungsten Producer

The Company is advancing toward becoming a fully integrated U.S. owned tungsten producer capable of supporting a domestic supply chain from production through processing. The United States currently relies on foreign sources for approximately 80 - 90% of it's tungsten supply, creating significant economic and national security vulnerabilities.

The Company is currently targeting initial production in the second half of 2027, subject to customary development and financing timelines.

Tungsten is essential to national defense, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and energy applications. Despite its strategic importance, the United States remains heavily reliant on foreign supply, creating both economic and national security risks. B&N Mining is focused on addressing this imbalance.

A Fully American Operation

B&N Mining is a 100% U.S.-owned and operated company, with its flagship asset located entirely within the prolific Rand Mining District. With full operational control and a commitment to domestic production, the Company is developing a vertically integrated platform designed to support a long-term, secure tungsten supply chain for U.S. industry.

Significant and Expandable Resource Base

The Company's recently completed NI 43-101 technical report outlines a current resource of approximately 28 million pounds of contained tungsten trioxide (WO₃), building on the legacy of the Rand Mining District, which historically one of the largest tungsten-producing regions in the world.

More importantly, the resource remains open for expansion. Known mineralization is not fully constrained, and B&N controls additional prospective ground adjacent to the current resource. Ongoing exploration efforts are aimed at unlocking broader district scale potential.

Advancing Toward U.S. Regulatory Alignment

In parallel with its Canadian disclosure framework, B&N Mining is preparing an S-K 1300 technical report in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) standards. This initiative underscores the Company's commitment to transparency, regulatory rigor, and readiness for U.S. capital markets. The S-K 1300 technical report is expected to be completed in early May 2026.

Positioned for a Critical Moment

As global supply chains evolve and the urgency of domestic resource independence grows, B&N Mining is strategically positioned at the forefront of a new era in American mining. By reestablishing tungsten production on U.S. soil, the Company aims to strengthen national resilience while creating meaningful economic opportunity.

Leadership Commentary

"We believe B&N Mining represents more than just a mining project-we are part of a strategic solution," said Robert Binkele, Chief Executive Officer of B&N Mining, Inc.

"Our objective is clear: to help reestablish a reliable, fully domestic tungsten supply chain while creating long-term value for our shareholders and supporting critical U.S. industries. With a substantial resource base and a defined path toward regulatory alignment, we are building what we believe can become America's premier tungsten platform."

Looking Ahead

With a strong resource base, a defined regulatory pathway, and a clear domestic strategy, B&N Mining is positioned to play a critical role in rebuilding the domestic tungsten supply chain. The Company remains focused on advancing its project toward production and its long-term vision of becoming a cornerstone supplier of tungsten trioxide in the United States.
