G50 Corp. Achieves Mineralogy Breakthrough for Gallium in Arizona Project

On August 6, 2025, G50 Corp. Limited, listed on the ASX and OTCQB, declared a pivotal breakthrough in gallium mineralization at its Golconda Gold-Silver-Zinc Project situated in Arizona. This announcement follows a comprehensive follow-up mineralogical test that confirmed the findings of an earlier study conducted in June.

The Phase 2 mineralogical tests revealed that a substantial proportion, between 85 to 92%, of the total gallium is found within the mineral sericite, a variant of muscovite. This discovery is promising, as sericite's coarse-grained nature combined with the high levels of gallium provides favorable conditions for the use of traditional mineral processing methods for its extraction and concentration.

Mark Wallace, the managing director and CEO of G50, expressed urgency regarding this development. He stated, "The ability to target muscovite enables us to develop a conventional extraction and processing flow sheet for gallium recovery, marking an important milestone for the Golconda Project and the company."

This milestone comes in conjunction with new drilling results corroborating consistent gallium intercepts and grades, further enhancing the Golconda Project's significance as a potentially vital source of precious metals and gallium for the United States. With China monopolizing the gallium supply and recent restrictions on exports to the U.S., the importance of domestic sources has surged, particularly for their critical applications in defense and data centers.

Reports from the Wall Street Journal highlight rising concerns among U.S. defense contractors due to supply chain restrictions on essential metals like gallium, germanium, and antimony. Wallace emphasized, "Projects like ours in Arizona are crucial to reducing the leverage that Chinese control has on U.S. markets, allowing domestic manufacturers to more reliably source these critical materials."

The Golconda Project encompasses both patented and unpatented claims, strategically located near existing mining infrastructures. This positions G50 Corp to effectively meet the escalating demand for domestic mineral resources in the U.S., particularly as reliance on foreign supplies becomes increasingly problematic.

The breakthrough in understanding gallium mineralization at Golconda not only solidifies G50 Corp’s competitive edge within the resource sector but also addresses a pressing national need. As work progresses, the company aims to continue refining its extraction processes, ensuring efficient and responsible development of this essential resource.
