Fairchild Gold Corp. has announced its membership in the Critical Minerals Forum, a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored consortium that brings together more than 55 companies across the critical minerals value chain. This membership provides Fairchild with access to federal agencies, DARPA-supported analytics, and partnership opportunities with members spanning the electric vehicle, battery, semiconductor, defense and aerospace industries. The company stated that participation strengthens its commitment to re-establishing domestic production of copper, gold, platinum group metals, antimony and cobalt.
The Critical Minerals Forum initiative comes at a time when the United States is prioritizing the development of domestic supply chains for minerals essential to national security, clean energy technologies, and economic competitiveness. Fairchild's participation positions the company to contribute meaningfully to these national priorities while advancing its own exploration and development objectives in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. This membership enhances collaboration with industry, government, and research partners working to improve secure and transparent U.S. supply chains.
The company's involvement in the forum represents a strategic move to position itself at the forefront of critical minerals development as the United States seeks to reduce reliance on foreign sources for essential materials. Fairchild's portfolio includes several key properties that align with these national priorities. The company's Nevada Titan property, located in the Goodsprings Mining District, has been highlighted for its near surface antimony and cobalt potential in addition to its historical high-grade copper-gold-PGEs mining significance.
Fairchild's portfolio also includes the Golden Arrow property in the prolific Walker Lane Shear Zone, encompassing two principal resource areas, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, with a combined measured, indicated and inferred resource base outlined in an NI 43-101 report written by Mine Development Associates. The company's Carlin Queen property represents an advanced-stage gold-silver project located at the intersection of the Carlin and Midas-Hollister gold trends. The company is leveraging the potential of all three properties by utilizing the outstanding mineral resources support that Nevada provides.

The company's participation in the Critical Minerals Forum represents a significant step in aligning corporate strategy with national priorities for mineral security and supply chain resilience. This collaboration comes as the United States intensifies efforts to secure domestic sources of minerals critical to both economic competitiveness and national defense capabilities.
