But it actually I thought was quite extraordinary because so much time had been put into reinforcing that it had-- it is now officially a top priority for the president's office.

Yeah, for sure.

I think, you know, the one thing that I think the new order did there at the end of July was it, was it actually moved, uh, from what used to be just guidance and providing general preference for contractors to, uh, get domestic sources to really now almost forcing them, uh, to, to develop domestic sources because a lot of the waivers are going to be taken away that they've been using up until this point, uh, to import, uh, from, from non-allied sources.

So it's, it's definitely a situation where, um, I think the government still doesn't even understand, uh, how far back that they need to go in the supply chain, and I think that puts Spartan in a great position because we're at the very beginning of it, so we cover a very critical gap that I see right now in the supply chain.

Let's get an update on how Spartan Metals is doing because, uh, the pressure's on.

Yeah, it sure is.

Uh, but we like it that way.

It's, uh, it helps, uh, helps keep us moving forward.

Can you give our audience a little bit of the background and then give us an update because you have actually expanded the mineralization footprint in your most recent news release?

Yeah, so tungstonium was very interesting to us because of the tungsten in particular.

And it was important to me when we founded Spartan to focus on tungsten so that we could actually have a connection to the U.S. national security and critical metals industry.

And so when we found tungstonium, it was really something that we spent a considerable amount of time investigating and really began to understand that it's something that we think is pretty special.

And so as we've looked at it now for over the past year here on the surface and done that work, as you mentioned, we've been able to expand the initial mineralization footprint from what we initially assessed when we picked up the project from about 500 meters by about 700 meters to almost six square kilometers now.

And we've got total strike length in many of our that we actually have on the project that are over two kilometers.

And so we're really excited about that potential.

Well, tell us a little bit more about the Eagle project and why you think it is going to be potentially so large?

we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

Yeah, there's really two great projects in our portfolio.

And again, we did that purposefully.

So at our Eagle project, which was the project that basically started Spartan, we really see that as one of the highest grade projects and districts within the United States and perhaps worldwide.

We even had news out recently showing the high grade nature of of the deposits themselves that we have there.

And so we also control three past producing tungsten mines that are on that project.

So we're actively looking at opportunities for us to leverage the infrastructure that's there to see if we can't re-engage that.

So, Victorio, maybe we could talk about some specific milestones investors should be watching over the next, say, coming months, as well as Eagle, because you've made some really meaningful progress in a relatively short period of time there.

So with that caveat out of the way, Brett, tell us about how this company came together and kind of what the bigger vision is.

Yeah, thanks, Chad.

It's really great to be here.

Like you said, it was a pleasure to meet in D.C. and Florida last month, I guess it was now.

Yeah.

And so we've really been had the pedal to the metal, so to speak, for quite some time.

And as you mentioned, you know, we picked up the Eagle project from Ridgeline in 2025.

And I believe you're kicking it off with an exploration focus.
