Fairchild Gold Corp. Positions in Nevada's Strategic Metals Renaissance Amid U.S. Resource Shift

America’s resource landscape is undergoing one of its most significant shifts in decades. Global copper inventories are tightening, new mine development is failing to keep pace with demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure and electrification, and the U.S. is rethinking the role domestic mining must play in national security. Federal agencies that once remained on the sidelines are now taking equity stakes in U.S. projects, funding early-stage exploration, and prioritizing critical minerals in policy discussions. Nowhere is this change more evident than in Nevada. Long recognized for its gold endowment, the state is fast becoming a focal point for the broader strategic metals push. Ranked second globally for mining investment attractiveness by the Fraser Institute, Nevada combines world-class geology with a permissive regulatory environment.

Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTCID: FCHDF) is positioning itself within this evolving landscape through strategic acquisitions. The company’s Nevada Titan project sits in the historic Goodsprings district, where recent sampling returned grades up to 34% copper with gold and silver credits across a 1.5-kilometer corridor. This high-grade copper discovery is particularly significant given the tightening global supply and surging demand. The company further expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of the Carlin Queen project in October 2025, positioning it at the intersection of the prolific Carlin Trend, which has produced 98 million ounces of gold, and the Midas-Hollister corridor.

The acquisition of the Golden Arrow project adds a substantial historic resource to Fairchild’s assets. The project holds a NI 43-101 historic resource metric from 2018, which is currently being updated. The resource includes measured and indicated material of 12,172,000 million tons averaging 0.024 oz/ton Au and 0.33 oz/ton Ag, yielding 296,500 oz Au and 4,008,000 oz Ag, along with inferred resources of 3,790,000 million tons averaging 0.013 oz/ton Au and 0.33 oz/ton Ag, for 50,400 oz Au and 1,249,000 oz Ag. This acquisition provides a foundation of known mineralization that can be advanced in the current favorable climate for resource development.

The implications of this strategic positioning are substantial. As the U.S. government increases its involvement in the mining sector to secure supply chains for critical minerals, companies with established projects in geopolitically stable jurisdictions like Nevada are likely to attract significant attention and potential support. The convergence of high-grade copper potential at Nevada Titan, a strategic location at Carlin Queen, and a historic gold-silver resource at Golden Arrow creates a diversified portfolio aligned with national priorities. This shift represents more than a typical mining cycle; it is a fundamental re-evaluation of resource security, making companies like Fairchild Gold Corp. potentially pivotal players in America’s next resource cycle.
