Resolution Minerals Ltd is pleased to report outstanding rockchip and soil assay results from the Antimony Ridge target, part of the Company’s Horse Heaven Gold-Antimony-Silver-Tungsten Project in Idaho, U.S.
Highlights
- Rockchip samples returned grades up to 49.8 % antimony (Sb), 1,420 g/t silver (Ag) and 3.12 g/t gold (Au) – the highest recorded to date at Horse Heaven.
- Soil sampling defined a broad 1,000 m x 700 m mineralized corridor, with assays up to 0.5 % Sb, 0.9 g/t Au and 68 g/t Ag.
- Results expand the mineralized footprint, identifying additional parallel Sb-Ag-Au zones.
- Historical trenches and drilling confirm significant mineralization, with past results up to 5.9 g/t Au, 19 % Sb and 367 g/t Ag.
Expanding Mineralized Potential
The new assays confirm and extend the scale of mineralization at Antimony Ridge. High-grade stibnite ore was collected from historical mine workings, while soil geochemistry has delineated stacked mineralized zones consistent with previous trenching. The footprint is materially larger than previously defined and remains open in multiple directions.
Resolution’s CEO of U.S. Operations, Craig Lindsay, said:
“We are very encouraged with the recent sampling program results from Antimony Ridge, which indicate that the mineralized target is larger than initially thought. As we expand outwards from the immediate area of the historic workings, we look to expand the target even further. Indeed, Horse Heaven is revealing itself to be a much larger opportunity as we conduct modern multi-disciplined exploration across the project area. It’s potential as a very significant antimony, gold, silver and tungsten project is crystalising.”
Resolution Senior Strategic Advisor, Steve Promnitz, added:
“Not all Antimony is equal. High grades around 50 % Sb are truly rare - and usually reflect crystalline antimony, potentially available for direct shipping ore as an oxide. This is because high grade antimony requires limited processing - and is therefore sought after.”
Next Steps
Resolution will advance additional rockchip, mapping and bulk sampling programs at Antimony Ridge ahead of a Phase 1 drilling campaign. In parallel, the Company continues its Phase 1 drilling at the Golden Gate target, where assays from the first holes are pending.
