Military Metals Corp (CNSX: MILI) (OTCMKTS: MILIF) (FRA: QN90) announced new exploration targets at its West Gore Antimony Project.
The company said on Tuesday that they generated these targets from the reprocessing and reinterpretation of 2021 drone magnetics drawn together by the project’s previous owners.
Military Metals tapped Halifax based Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc for the reprocessing and reinterpretation of drone magnetometer data covering the whole West Gore Project.
RGS’ analysis identified three overlooked targets at the Project by detecting a subtle but distinct magnetic signature linked to historical mineralization mined in the past.
“We will begin evaluating these targets immediately with surficial geochemistry and look forward to providing further updates,” said Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals.
Eldridge continued by noting that the federal government has also chipped in $3.8 billion for critical minerals.
The company is preparing to evaluate the newly identified targets, with those near known mineralization slated for testing during its first drilling campaign, now in the planning phase.
Military Metals third target is located about 650 meters southwest of the main historical workings, has seen no known past exploration or development.
Furthermore, the company will evaluate it through a targeted surface geochemistry survey starting the week of July 7th, 2025.
Additionally, detailed petrophysical characterization during drilling will assess whether more refined magnetic surveys can support ongoing project development. The company has also collected mineralized material from historical dumps to produce custom certified reference materials (CRMs). Canadian Resource Laboratories will prepare these CRMs to implement Quality Assurance Quality Control (QAQC) protocols for drilling and lithogeochemical sampling.

Rise in demand comes from geopolitics
Antimony is a critical metalloid used primarily as a flame retardant and alloy strengthening agent, particularly in lead acid batteries and ammunition. It possesses some unique properties, such as resistance to heat, corrosion, and chemical reactions. These properties make it valuable in both civilian and defense industries. Recently, antimony has gained strategic importance due to its use in semiconductors and renewable energy technologies like solar panels.
The recent rise in demand and importance stems from the geopolitical issues surrounding it.
The circumstances surrounding antimony stem from the fact that China controls the vast majority of global production and refining capacity. This concentration creates supply chain risks for countries like the United States and Canada. As a result, both countries have classified antimony as a critical mineral.
Furthermore, rising tensions between Western nations and China have further fuelled concern. These have prompted efforts to diversify supply and encourage domestic or allied exploration and production. Additionally, Russia’s role as a secondary supplier has grown more contentious amid sanctions. This adds to the urgency of securing stable antimony sources.
In the United States, Military Metals is advancing the Last Chance property in Nevada’s Nye County. Between 1917 and 1965, the site produced over 6,100 tons of ore at an average grade of 29 per cent antimony. Nevada’s mining friendly environment continues to attract interest from junior miners exploring antimony potential.
NevGold Corp (CVE: NAU) (OTCMKTS: NAUFF) (FRA: 5E50) is developing the Limousine Butte operation, while Global Tactical Metals Corp (CNSX: MONI) (FRA: A7F) is working to revive the past producing Green Mine.
