The United States has not operated a single tungsten mine in over a decade, leaving the nation dangerously dependent on foreign countries for a metal critical to defense, semiconductors, and manufacturing. CEO Oliver Friesen goes Inside the ICE House to detail how Guardian Metal Resources is racing to bring two Nevada tungsten mines into commercial production before the end of 2028. He discusses China's sweeping export ban, the national security stakes of domestic supply chains, and how partnerships with the Department of War and Montana Mining Association are accelerating progress.
