Guardian Metal Resources plc is set to become a constituent of the FTSE AIM 50 Index from 21 September 2026. The change follows FTSE Russell’s quarterly review of the FTSE AIM UK 50, FTSE AIM 100 and FTSE AIM All-Share Indices.

The company, which trades under NYSE.A:GMTL, LON:GMET and OTCQB:GMTLF, focuses on tungsten exploration and development in Nevada, USA.

#Index inclusion follows quarterly review

Guardian Metal Resources said its addition to the FTSE AIM 50 will take effect on 21 September 2026. The announcement does not provide details on the index methodology or quantify any effect on the company’s share price, trading activity, financial results or operations.

Guardian Metal listed on AIM in May 2023. It later completed a U.S. listing on the NYSE American on March 20, 2026.

#Nevada tungsten projects

The company is advancing two co-flagship projects in Nevada: Pilot Mountain and Tempiute.
