[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) (FSE: RK90) (\"American Tungsten\" or the \"Company) today, reported the first results from drilling on the Zero Level of the Ima Mine, Lemhi County, Idaho. Initial drillholes intersected multiple tungsten bearing polymetallic veins associated with the Main Ima vein system and also east of the main vein system. \"These initial underground drilling results from the Zero Level are highly encouraging and validate our approach to revitalizing the Ima Mine,\" said Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten Corp. \"Intersecting multiple high-grade tungsten-bearing veins, including both historical and newly identified structures, underscores the significant untapped potential of the property and reinforces our confidence as we advance our Phase 1 exploration program.\" Drill Result Highlights: 17.8 ft grading 0.435% WO3 and 1.16 oz/t Ag in hole AT26-14, including 8 ft grading 0.69% WO3 in the West Vein; 3.4 ft grading 1.02% WO3 and 0.84 oz/t Ag and 9.6 ft grading 0.40% WO3 and 0.65 oz/t Ag in hole AT25-16 in the West Vein and western vein; and 3 ft grading 0.56% WO3 and 1.42oz/t Ag in hole AT26-27 in the Talmadge Vein. Holes AT26-13 through AT26-16 were drilled westerly from a crosscut on the zero level and had multiple tungsten silver intercepts in the historical Ima Vein, West Vein, and a newly identified western vein. These holes demonstrate potential to delineate significant mineralization around areas of historical mining activity in the lower areas of the Ima mine between the 460 and A levels. Hole AT26-17 was drilled from the same drill station to the northeast, and intersected the historical Talmadge vein, which is located approximately 300 feet east of the Main Ima vein system and is depicted on historical cross sections as steeply southwest dipping. This drilling was conducted from a new drill station established in a rehabilitated drift on the Zero level of the Ima Mine. The company has completed eleven holes from this station totaling over 5000 feet with assays pending for the remaining six holes. The second drill station located approximately 800 feet from the portal on the Zero level is nearing completion. Planned holes from this location will target tungsten and molybdenum mineralization occurring in the newly identi...
