Antimony Resources Corp., a company focused on the exploration and development of antimony deposits, has announced the discovery of high-grade antimony in its ongoing drilling program at the Bald Hill Antimony Project in New Brunswick, Canada. The company reported assays from two drill holes, BH-26-19 and BH-26-21, in the Main Zone, which have yielded promising results.

In the drill hole BH-26-21, the company found a section with 27.3% antimony (Sb) over 0.3 meters within a zone that contains 2.28% antimony over a length of 9.12 meters, starting from 144.38 meters to 153.5 meters in depth. The drill hole also returned a gold assay of 0.93 grams per tonne (g/t) over the same width, with a high of 3.66 g/t.

The company's CEO, James Atkinson, commented on the results, stating, "We are continuing to receive high-grade antimony results from the Main Zone. The drilling is focused on filling in gaps in the data by intersecting areas where there was little or no drill information to develop a more detailed picture of the deposit."

The company has also initiated drilling in the newly identified Central Zone, where trenching by Antimony Resources and previous operators has identified antimony-bearing stibnite mineralization. The first drill hole, BHC-26-01, returned a high-grade assay of 10.3% antimony in a section of 2.2 meters over 2.63% antimony from 118.8 to 121.0 meters in depth. This hole is focused on intersecting below the northernmost trench of the Central Zone.

Antimony Resources has implemented a rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocol for its drilling operations. Samples are transported to a secure core handling facility, where they are examined by the company's geotechnical staff. Once the core conditions are recorded and the core is confirmed to be intact, it is logged and marked for sampling by professional geological staff. The marked core is then cut in half, with one half returned to the box for safekeeping and the other half placed in plastic bags, sealed, and shipped to Activation Labs Processing facility in Fredericton for further preparation and analysis.

The Bald Hill Antimony Project is described as a well-known, high-grade antimony deposit in southern New Brunswick, Canada. The project has the potential to expand based on recently discovered targets and additional claims added to the property to the west, south, and east. Soil sampling has also outlined new zones approximately 3 kilometers south of the Main Zone on the newly acquired Second Run Claim.

The company's exploration efforts are part of a broader strategy to develop the Bald Hill Antimony Project into a significant North American producer of antimony. The project's potential is highlighted by the high-grade antimony deposits and the company's ongoing drilling program, which aims to further delineate the extent and quality of the mineralization.
