Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML) has achieved another breakthrough in its US critical minerals strategy with its admission as a member of the high-profile US Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC).

Membership with the DIBC builds on the company’s US-focused antimony and tungsten plans at a time when that nation is ramping up its search for reliable domestic supplies of critical mineral to meet its security priorities.
CEO – US Operations, Craig Lindsay, said Resolution believes that membership in the DIBC will enhance the company’s ability to engage with stakeholders across government.
“Resolution’s acceptance into the Defense Industrial Base Consortium represents an important milestone in our strategy to help establish secure domestic supplies of antimony and tungsten in the United States,” he said.
“Through DIBC membership, we gain access to a network of government agencies, industry participants, and potential funding opportunities that can support the advancement of our projects. We believe the consortium provides an effective platform to demonstrate the strategic importance of our assets and to engage with stakeholders focused on strengthening U.S. critical mineral supply chains.
“As the United States continues to prioritise domestic production of critical minerals, Resolution is committed to working collaboratively with government agencies, regulators, industry partners, and local communities to advance responsible exploration and development activities that contribute to national security and economic resilience.”
Mr Lindsay noted that antimony and tungsten are both recognised as critical minerals by the US Government due to their importance in defense, aerospace, energy and advanced manufacturing applications.
“Resolution’s Horse Heaven project in Idaho is strategically positioned to contribute to the development of domestic sources of these critical materials.”
Operating under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) framework and managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI), the DIBC is aimed at accelerating research, development, prototyping and production activities that support critical national security objectives.
It currently includes approximately 1,500 member organisations across a broad range of strategic sectors.
At the same time as registering its admission to the DIBC, Resolution continues to make significant drilling progress with its 2026 program targeting potential tungsten and gold mineralisation at the Horse Heaven project in Idaho.
The program is designed to advance the company’s understanding of the project’s antimony and tungsten potential and support future development planning.
RML is steady at 4.4¢. Mkt cap $95.96M.
