Fairchild Gold Corp. Joins Critical Minerals Forum to Strengthen U.S. Supply Chain Development

Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX-V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF), a mineral exploration and development company focused on copper and gold in Nevada, USA, announced its membership in the Critical Minerals Forum. The U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored consortium brings together more than 55 companies across the critical minerals value chain, giving Fairchild access to federal agencies, DARPA-supported analytics, and partnership opportunities with members spanning the EV, battery, semiconductor, defense and aerospace industries.

Fairchild said participation strengthens its commitment to re-establishing domestic production of copper, gold, PGM, antimony and cobalt, while enhancing collaboration with industry, government, and research partners working to improve secure and transparent U.S. supply chains. The company's involvement in this consortium comes at a critical time when the United States is seeking to reduce dependence on foreign sources for essential minerals needed for clean energy technologies, national security applications, and advanced manufacturing.

The company's strategic positioning in Nevada provides significant advantages for contributing to domestic critical mineral production. Fairchild Gold's recently assembled trinity of Nevada properties includes Nevada Titan, Fairchild's flagship property located in the Goodsprings Mining District, an area known for historical high-grade copper-gold-PGEs mining. In more recent times, Nevada Titan was also highlighted for its near surface antimony and cobalt potential.

That was followed by a memorandum of understanding towards the acquisition of the Golden Arrow property in the prolific Walker Lane Shear Zone, encompassing two principal resource areas, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, with a combined measured + indicated and inferred resource base outlined in an NI 43-101 report written by Mine Development Associates. Finally, Fairchild's Carlin Queen property represents an advanced-stage gold-silver project located at the intersection of the Carlin and Midas-Hollister gold trends.

Fairchild Gold is leveraging the potential of all these three properties by utilizing the outstanding mineral resources support Nevada provides. The company's participation in the Critical Minerals Forum aligns with broader national efforts to secure reliable domestic supplies of minerals essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, defense systems, and advanced electronics. This strategic move positions Fairchild to contribute meaningfully to reducing supply chain vulnerabilities while advancing its exploration and development objectives in one of North America's most mineral-rich regions.
