[{"type":"text","content":"Supply Chain Safety: Western Powers Race for Domestic Mineral SovereigntyIssued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.\nVANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary – Think of the global supply chain as a game of musical chairs where the music just stopped. Western governments are currently mobilizing massive capital to fix a decade of neglect, especially after China’s 2025 export freeze on defense-essential metals like tungsten and tellurium[1]. This isn't just about pricing; it's about national security. For the undervalued players in this space, the 30% copper supply shortfall projected for 2035[1] represents a pivotal moment. Companies like GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Hercules Metals (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF), Meridian Mining (TSX: MNO) (OTCQX: MRRDF), Kodiak Copper (TSXV: KDK) (OTCQX: KDKCF), and Abitibi Metals (CSE: AMQ) (OTCQB: AMQFF) are now at the center of a rush for district-scale potential in stable, Tier-1 jurisdictions. The math behind this shift is hard to ignore. S&P Global recently confirmed a 10-million-tonne copper supply gap by 2040[2], fueled by the twin engines of AI infrastructure and defense spending. To plug the hole, the United States signed 11 new critical minerals frameworks in February 2026[3], effectively prioritizing secure, domestic supply chains over the lowest bidder. This structural evolution creates a massive window for porphyry-driven systems in safe havens[3]. As institutional capital seeks a scalable hedge against inflation and scarcity, the \"Goldilocks\" zone for discovery is officially open. GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at its Magno Property in northwestern British Columbia. The company's 2025 surface exploration program identified a previously undocumented tungsten zone at the Vines Lake showing, where assays returned up to 6,550 parts per million tungsten. These results validate historical tungsten data at the Kuhn and Dead Goat showings while expanding the known footprint across multiple structurally controlled skarn zones spanning approximately 1.3 kilometers of strike length. “These results represent a meaningful step forward in defining Magno as a large, zoned, intrusion-related mineral system,” said Robert Birmingha...
