Guardian Metal Resources plc priced its U.S. initial public offering at $13.50 per American Depositary Share, the company said, raising approximately $60 million in gross proceeds before accounting for underwriting discounts and expenses. The offering involved the sale of 4,444,400 ADSs, which correspond to 22,222,000 newly issued ordinary shares.
In connection with the transaction, Guardian Metal granted the underwriters a 45-day option to acquire up to an additional 666,660 ADSs, a standard overallotment facility intended to cover potential demand. The company expects ADSs to begin trading on the NYSE American on March 20, 2026 under the ticker symbol "GMTL." The offering is expected to close on March 24, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

BMO Capital Markets Corp. is acting as the lead book-running manager for the transaction, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. serving as a bookrunning manager. D.A. Davidson & Co. and Berenberg Capital Markets LLC are listed as co-managers. Tamesis Partners LLP is serving as capital markets advisor for Guardian Metal.
Trading admission and issued share capital
The company said it will apply for the ADSs to be admitted to trading on AIM, with admission expected to occur around March 24, 2026. Following that admission, Guardian Metal indicated its issued share capital will comprise 190,950,216 ordinary shares of .01 each.
Assets and operations
Guardian Metal is focused on tungsten exploration in Nevada. Its principal asset is the Pilot Mountain project, with the Tempiute project identified as a secondary asset. Both projects are located in historic tungsten districts with known mineralization, according to the company's announcement.

Implications for market participants
The offering establishes a defined equity raise and a timetable for U.S. listing and AIM admission. The availability of an overallotment option means the total number of ADSs sold could increase within the 45-day option period if underwriters exercise that right. The expected trading commencement and the stated closing date are conditional on customary closing requirements and regulatory processes described in the company's filings.
