Gordon Mining Closes Tungsten Tail Acquisition
The deal gives Gordon Mining full ownership of an 841-acre property in Sierra County, New Mexico with a documented history of tungsten production.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Quantum Computing
Gordon Mining Group closed its acquisition of the Tungsten Tail project in Sierra County, New Mexico, acquiring 100% of TT Minerals LLC from Lamina Minerals LLC. The project is a 41-claim property covering approximately 847 acres.
Why it matters
The acquisition brings a property with recorded historical scheelite shipments into a company that plans to use AI-assisted targeting to identify its first drill targets. The deal also gives Strata Mine Technologies a royalty stake in the project.
The property covers 41 claims and roughly 847 acres, with the royalty set at a 2.0% net smelter returns, of which 1.0% can be repurchased for $1 million. Results from the planned AI-assisted targeting and sampling have not yet been reported.
The players
Gordon Mining Group
A mining company that acquired the Tungsten Tail project and plans to apply AI-assisted targeting to its exploration.
Strata Mine Technologies
A company that received 1,500,000 common shares and a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty on the project as part of the transaction.
The details
Gordon Mining Group acquired 100% of TT Minerals LLC, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary, after signing a definitive agreement on October 19. The company will apply AI-assisted targeting to historical records, USGS geophysics, new mapping, UV scheelite surveys and sampling to define the project's first drill targets.
Timeline
1942: Historical scheelite shipments were recorded from the project area.
1955: Additional historical scheelite shipments were recorded from the project area.
October 19, 2026: Gordon Mining signed a definitive agreement to acquire TT Minerals.
November 2, 2026: The acquisition of the Tungsten Tail project closed.
Under the Hood
Gordon Mining's plan to pair AI-assisted targeting with historical records and new geophysical surveys follows a broader push to use data tools in mineral exploration. The Tungsten Tail project applies that approach to a property with recorded scheelite production in 1942 and 1955.
For New Mexico residents, the acquisition signals possible future exploration activity on a mining claim in Sierra County. The timing of any drilling or results has not been announced.
The takeaway
Historic mining properties can still hold exploration potential when modern data tools are applied to older records. Readers tracking the sector should watch for drilling results from the Tungsten Tail project.
