Critical One discovers high-grade antimony intervals in Howells Lake Project historical data

The newly recovered reports and datasets clearly indicate that the historic exploration programmes carried out in the project area from 1979 to 1984 focused on base metals and gold, and that the discovery of high-grade antimony mineralisation in the V-3 grid area at the West and East zones was fortuitous. The extension of the antimony mineralised zones and various areas of gold mineralisation remain open for further expansion both along strike and down-dip. Numerous other targets for both antimony and gold have been documented elsewhere outside the V-3 grid area on Critical One’s extensive landholdings.

Information highlights from the new dataset:

• High-grade antimony was first discovered in the project area in drill hole MW-79-2 in an intersection grading 6.17 gpt gold and 1.57% antimony over a core interval of 6.31 m.
• Reported as the East zone discovery, antimony was intersected along an interval of 216 m in a number of core holes. With the mineralisation extrapolated to a depth of 304 m, the zone of stibnite (antimony) was interpreted to contain 1 700 000 t of mineralisation at a grade of 1.4% antimony.

Duane Parnham, Executive Chairman and CEO of Critical One, said:

“The timing of our acquisition of the land packages that comprise the Howells Lake Project could not have been better, and the project is turning out to be even more compelling than we initially thought. With Western governments frantically looking to fast track critical mineral projects that are of vital importance, the antimony deposits at Howells Lake are a perfect fit for early development given its fundamentals, the critical need for antimony in North America and the fact that the project is south of the Ring of Fire, an area that is attracting a lot of government attention for critical mineral mining infrastructure development. With renewed government support for critical minerals project development, and armed with previous knowledge that is now combined with all this historic data, we are ready to get personnel on the property to start defining antimony and gold mineralisation as soon as conditions permit.”
