- The FAST-41 designation is expected to enhance permitting, funding opportunities and preparations for a planned NASDAQ listing.
Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX:RML) (OTCQB:RLMLF) has secured FAST-41 Transparency Coverage for its Golden Gate Tungsten-Gold Project in Idaho, USA. The designation follows the company's earlier FAST-41 status for its Antimony Ridge Project, making both of its primary development targets within the Horse Heaven Project eligible for an accelerated federal permitting framework.
The latest development comes as the United States seeks to secure domestic supply of strategic minerals, including antimony.
Golden Gate added to FAST-41 program
The Golden Gate Project has been selected for inclusion in the U.S. Federal FAST-41 Permitting Transparency Program, which is expected to accelerate permitting timelines by improving coordination among federal agencies, establishing transparent permitting milestones tracking and providing dedicated oversight.
The recognition underscores the project's significance as a potential domestic source of tungsten and reflects continued engagement with the U.S. Government and the Permitting Council on advancing critical minerals projects.
The FAST-41 framework is designed by the Trump administration to accelerate permitting for strategically significant US infrastructure projects and supporting the administration's national security.
The project was added to the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard under President Donald Trump's Executive Order aimed at increasing American mineral production. The initiative seeks to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign suppliers of critical minerals.
The company has been working closely with the Administration leadership and Federal agencies, which have identified its U.S. assets as strategically important in addressing the country's supply gap for critical minerals.
Exploration plans move ahead
A Plan of Operations, submitted for the Golden Gate Project, has been accepted by the U.S. Forest Service for review.
Subject to approvals, the plan would allow construction of access roads linking Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South, enabling up to 340 drill holes and 2,000 feet of trenching across the project area.
The company also confirmed that it is continuing its 13,700-metre drilling program at Golden Gate. A total of 22 holes has been completed, with the first assay results expected by the end of July.
Upon receiving the required approvals, the company intends to undertake a larger drilling program to extend coverage of the Golden Gate North and South targets and evaluate the geological continuity of gold and tungsten mineralisation between the two areas.
Integrated Horse Heaven development strategy
The Horse Heaven Project covers approximately 15,000 acres in Idaho and hosts the Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge targets. These assets support RML's intent to pursue an integrated critical minerals development pathway, spanning metallurgical studies, exploration, and potential downstream processing.
Both projects have now received FAST-41 Transparency Coverage. The company said that the U.S. Forest Service intends to assess the Plans of Operations for both projects under a single NEPA process, which is expected to simplify permitting across the broader development area.
With Golden Gate becoming Resolution Minerals' second project to receive FAST-41 Transparency Coverage,the company noted that FAST-41 status is expected to improve project visibility and facilitate discussions with potential funding providers and strategic partners. The designation is expected to support its planned NASDAQ listing.
RML shares were trading at AUD 0.045 per share at the time of writing on 17 July 2026.
