China Export Ban Spurs 54-Nation Critical Minerals Pact

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resource Corp.

Equity Insider News Commentary — The global supply map just broke. China restricted critical tungsten exports to Japan in January[1], causing the United States to counter by rallying 54 nations and launching $30 billion in strategic financing[2]. This geopolitical chess match is rapidly de-risking domestic production. It position GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ: SGML) (TSXV: SGML) , Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), and Talon Metals (TSX: TLO) (OTCID: TLOFD) at the forefront of a massive capital rotation.

This is a structural pivot, not a temporary blip. Nearly 75% of business leaders are prioritizing resilience over cost as trade barriers rise[3]. To cement this transition, VP JD Vance recently announced price floors and binding alliances with the EU and Mexico to end single-source reliance[4]. With sovereign capital and preferential trade zones now backing the sector, these companies are becoming essential pillars of the new industrial architecture.

GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at its Magno Property in northwestern British Columbia. The company’s 2025 surface exploration program identified a previously undocumented tungsten zone at the Vines Lake showing, where assays returned up to 6,550 parts per million tungsten. These results validate historical tungsten data at the Kuhn and Dead Goat showings while expanding the known footprint across multiple structurally controlled skarn zones spanning approximately 1.3 kilometers of strike length.

“These results represent a meaningful step forward in defining Magno as a large, zoned, intrusion-related mineral system,” said Robert Birmingham, President and CEO of GoldHaven. “The confirmation of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization, extensive tungsten, elevated copper within intrusive rocks, and strong bismuth-tellurium pathfinder anomalies reinforces our interpretation of a porphyry-driven system at depth. The emerging geological and metal zonation patterns share important similarities with Coeur Mining’s Silvertip district, while Magno’s broader critical-metal footprint highlights the potential for a multi-commodity discovery with district-scale upside.”

The tungsten discovery comes at a strategically important time for Western economies. China implemented strict export controls on tungsten throughout 2025, and the country controls over 80% of global tungsten supply. The metal possesses the highest melting point of any element, making it essential for cutting tools, defense applications including ammunition and armor, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy infrastructure. These export restrictions have elevated tungsten to critical mineral status across North America and Europe.

The 2025 program at Magno successfully verified historical showings while discovering tungsten at Vines Lake where previous sampling had not documented the metal. Results from 357 samples revealed bonanza silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne alongside lead values exceeding 20% and zinc reaching 3.8% at the Magno and D-Zone carbonate replacement occurrences. Forty-five samples returned over 100 grams per tonne silver. The discovery of indium adds another strategic dimension, with values up to 334 parts per million. Indium is used in electronics and renewable energy technologies.

GoldHaven has also completed its inaugural diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil. Nine holes totaling 1,085.7 meters tested priority targets and discovered bornite, which suggests potential for a substantial gold-copper system. The company also confirmed high-grade copper mineralization at its Three Guardsmen Project, with surface sampling returning grades up to 15.85% copper.

GoldHaven now controls 133,186.16 hectares across proven mining jurisdictions with multiple projects advancing simultaneously and assay results pending from Copeçal. All projects are supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report.
