IRIS Metals Limited Advances Strategic Tungsten Exploration at Finley Basin
IRIS Metals Limited (ASX: IR1) has commenced Phase I exploration activities at its Finley Basin Tungsten Project in Montana, marking a significant step in advancing its North American critical minerals strategy. Following a detailed review of historical exploration data, the company is finalising plans for an initial drilling campaign while progressing state and federal permit approvals. Subject to permitting, drilling is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026. The planned program includes up to 7,000 metres of diamond drilling across 16 locations, targeting the validation and expansion of historical tungsten mineralisation identified by Union Carbide. Concurrent fieldwork, including geological mapping, surface sampling and ultraviolet “night lamping,” has refined drill targets and identified additional regional exploration opportunities.
The Finley Basin Project strengthens IRIS Metals’ exposure to strategically important tungsten, a critical mineral used across defence, aerospace, energy, electronics and advanced manufacturing industries. Supported by established infrastructure and proximity to a permitted processing facility, the project offers long-term development potential while complementing the company’s broader portfolio of North American critical minerals assets.
