Guardian Metal Resources plc ("Guardian Metal" or the
"Company")
Appointment of CFO and Board Changes
Guardian Metal Resources plc (LON: GMET, OTCQX:GMTLF,
NYSE A:GMTL), a U.S.-focused exploration-stage company focused
on tungsten in Nevada, United States, is pleased to announce the
appointment of Mr Jake Mather as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")
with effect from today, 26 March 2026. At the same time, Mr
Benjamin ("Ben") James Hodges, currently the Company's Finance
Director and executive director of the Company, will step down from
his executive role and remain on the Board as a Non-Executive
Director.
Jake is an accomplished mining financial professional with over 20
years experience in the industry and a proven
track record of maximizing shareholder value through complex
financial management, M&A activities, and operational
optimization. Previously, Jake was the CFO at Golden Queen Mining
Company in California where he supported a divestment process. Most
recently, he was the Vice President Business Development at Ceibo,
a Chilean based copper sulfide leaching company where he led
activities in North America. Jake also worked 12 years at Rio Tinto
in a variety of finance & strategy roles, directing corporate
strategy efforts including internal investment processes and
external contracts. Jake is a U.S. national based in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Ben was appointed Financial Director of Guardian Metal in December
2024. Since his appointment, he has been responsible for aspects of
the Company's finance function including audit lead, financial
reporting and tax planning, as well the oversight of financial and
reporting processes. As such, he has played an integral role in the
rapid growth of the Company, including the successful raising of
over US$21 million during the course of his tenure, and the
acquisition of the Tempiute Tungsten Mine & Mill ("Tempiute").
Ben will today step down as Financial Director and assume his role
as a Non-Executive Director, and as Chair of the Audit
Committee.
J.T. Starzecki, Executive Chair,
commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Jake to the Guardian Metal team at an
important stage for the Company. He brings with him a wealth of
experience, including as leader of financial divisions within
fast-growing, natural resource organisations, suited to Guardian
Metal as we progress the development of our U.S.-based tungsten
projects.
"We also express our sincere thanks to Ben who has played a central
role in defining and delivering the Company's strategy to date,
including equity raises and the acquisition of Tempiute. We
are pleased that Ben will remain on the Board as a Non-Executive
Director, allowing the Company to continue to benefit from his
expertise and deep knowledge of the business, as the team delivers
on our next phase of growth."

About Guardian Metal Resources
Guardian Metal Resources PLC (LON: GMET, OTCQX: GMTLF, NYSE A:
GMTL) is a U.S.-focused exploration-stage company focused on
tungsten in Nevada, United States. Its
principal tungsten asset is the Pilot Mountain project, followed by
the Tempiute project, which are both situated in historic tungsten
districts with well-known occurrences of mineralization that have
seen prior tungsten mining activity by third
parties.
In July 2025, the U.S. Department of War (DoW), under Title III of
the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, invested US$6.2
million in Golden Metal Resources (USA) LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Guardian Metal Resources PLC, to support the Pilot
Mountain PFS. The Company completed an initial public offering of
American Depositary Shares in the United States in March
2026.
Tungsten is used across defense, energy transition, technology and
industrial applications. The Company's projects are located in the
United States and are focused on potential future
development.
