Allegiance Resources Names University of Nevada Metallurgy Professor Dr. Ehsan Vahidi to Advisory Board for Tungsten Processing

Allegiance Resources Corp. (CSE: ALLG) has appointed Dr. Ehsan Vahidi, department chair and extractive metallurgy professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, to its advisory board to guide the company's tungsten processing strategy. The announcement, made on October 19, 2026, brings specialized academic expertise in extractive metallurgy directly into the company's technical leadership as it advances its tungsten ambitions.

The appointment follows closely on Allegiance's October 13, 2026 agreement to acquire three British Columbia tungsten projects, the Thanksgiving, Five T's, and Rio Grande properties, totalling 14 tenures across 1,905 hectares. Historical drilling at the Thanksgiving project returned grades of 3.01% WO3 over 3.54 metres, with surface samples reaching as high as 16.2% WO3, underscoring the processing challenges and opportunities that Dr. Vahidi's expertise is intended to address. Allegiance, which rebranded from Pegmatite One Lithium and Gold Corp. and began trading under the ALLG ticker on the Canadian Securities Exchange in late September 2026, is positioning itself as a tungsten-focused junior miner at a time of heightened strategic interest in the critical metal.
