A2 Gold Corp (CVE: AUAU) (OTCMKTS: AUXXF) (FRA: RR7), formerly Allegiant Gold, has identified an antimony mineralization system at the Taylor silver-gold project in Nevada.
The junior miner announced Tuesday that it achieved this through compiling historical mining records, reviewing past drill data and conducting new surface channel sampling across the property.
Recent assays delivered strong results, including channel samples that returned 18.4 per cent and 21.6 per cent antimony (Sb). These high-grade zones occur within a roughly 10-square-kilometre footprint and show spatial association with gold and silver mineralization.
Historical information strengthens the case significantly. Antimony was first documented on the property in 1914. Two past mines, Enterprise and Merrimac, produced material and recorded notable intercepts.
The Enterprise Mine shipped sorted ore grading between 39 per cent and 76 per cent Sb during the late 1930s and early 1940s, according to A2. Drill results from the Merrimac include 7 per cent antimony over 4.3 meters and 4.61 per cent antimony with 0.53 grams per tonne gold over 4.6 metres.
More recent gold-focused work adds further upside, with channel samples reaching 4.2 g/t gold over 11 metres and a drill intercept of 1.02 g/t gold over 18.3 metres starting from surface.
The Taylor project sits in White Pine County, the same area where NevGold Corp (CVE: NAU) (OTCMKTS: NAUFF) (FRA: 5E50) has identified high-grade antimony at its Limousine Butte project.
“The presence of high-grade antimony mineralization associated with gold mineralization at Taylor adds another exciting dimension to the project,” said A2 chief executive Peter Gianulis.
A2 Gold has not yet finalized the acquisition of Taylor. The company entered a binding letter of intent on Mar. 5 to acquire 100 per cent of the 117-square-kilometre district, but the transaction still requires execution of definitive agreements, resolution of certain historical interests and regulatory approvals.

A2 adds 24 claims to its flagship asset
This antimony discovery builds directly on A2 Gold’s recent momentum in Nevada. Last week the company staked 24 additional unpatented claims at its Eastside project, increasing the land position by 201 hectares and securing better control over priority structural corridors highlighted by a 2025 geophysical survey.
Eastside now covers 92 square kilometres in Esmeralda County and contains an inferred resource of 1.4 million ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver.
Drilling continues at pace with a 30,000-metre reverse-circulation program that targets infill at the McIntosh zone, step-outs at Castle, and new targets.
A2 Gold maintains a strategic partnership with Kinross Gold Corp (TSE: K) (NYSE: KGC) (FRA: KIN2), which holds a 9.9 per cent equity stake and contributes technical know-how.
The company also recently detailed 2026 exploration plans for Taylor that include phased drilling aimed at expanding the historical 11-million-ounce silver resource and testing the extensive gold corridor. This will help set the stage for updated NI 43-101 technical reports and potential preliminary economic assessments on both projects.
Drill rigs are turning at Eastside, with a busy season ahead. The program is fully funded, and consistent drilling is planned throughout the year.

Investors see future potential
Sentiment toward A2 Gold remains strongly positive at present.
Traders and analysts highlight the company’s fully funded exploration pipeline, the valuable Kinross alliance and its exposure to precious metals during a period of elevated gold prices.
Veteran investor and longtime NYSE floor trader Peter Tuchman has taken particular interest in the stock, citing its solid technical structure and ongoing exploration catalysts. He is known as the “Einstein of Wall Street.”
“The stock is a Buy, especially with it being down today, sitting in a nice pullback area that could make it an attractive entry point,” said Gold Advisor analyst Jeff Clark in a blog post on Mar. 11.
While this enthusiasm drives optimism among shareholders, A2Gold continues to face standard risks, including managing exploration uncertainties, obtaining required permits and commodity price volatility.
Gold keeps breaking higher $GDX but most investors still haven’t looked at this explorer.
