Antimony Resources Corp. (ATMY) (ATMYF) (K8J0) Reports Visible Gold in Drilling of 285 grams per tonne (g/t) Gold Using Portable XRF at the Bald Hill Central Zone
Rhea-AI Summary
Antimony Resources (CSE: ATMY, OTCQB: ATMYF, FSE: K8J0) reported the first observation of visible gold in drilling at the Central Zone of its Bald Hill Antimony Property in New Brunswick. Visible gold in drill hole BHC-26-13 at 165.85 m was analyzed with a portable XRF, returning an indicative 285 g/t gold (285 ppm Au). The company noted this is a single occurrence and does not represent the average grade of the pending assay interval.
The Central Zone lies about 150–200 m south of the Main Zone and is interpreted as its continuation. Drilling is ongoing, with antimony-bearing stibnite already observed, but assays are still outstanding. Bald Hill is described as a high-grade antimony project, with drilling in the Main Zone outlining mineralization over 600 m strike and at least 350 m depth, averaging 4–5 m widths and 3–4% antimony. A 2026 NI 43-101 technical report cites a conceptual exploration target of approximately 2.7 million tonnes grading 3–4% antimony, which the company emphasizes is not a defined mineral resource.
Positive
- Visible gold discovery in drill hole BHC-26-13 at 165.85 m confirmed by portable XRF with an indicative 285 g/t Au reading
- First visible gold in drilling at Bald Hill, adding gold potential to an established antimony-focused project
- Main Zone antimony mineralization outlined over 600 m strike and to at least 350 m depth, remaining open in all directions
- Reported average widths and grades of 4–5 m and 3–4% antimony from drilling in the Main Zone
- Conceptual exploration target of about 2.7 million tonnes at 3–4% antimony from the 2026 NI 43-101 technical report, subject to further work
- Systematic QA/QC procedures with accredited Activation Labs and multiple standards, blanks, and duplicates in the assay workflow
Negative
- Gold grade indication of 285 g/t Au is from a single visible-gold occurrence and may not represent the average grade of the sampled interval
- Assays for Central Zone drilling including BHC-26-13 have not yet been received, leaving the true gold and antimony grades unknown
- NI 43-101 exploration target of 2.7 million tonnes at 3–4% antimony is conceptual only and not a defined mineral resource
- Central Zone is being drill-tested for the first time, so continuity, thickness, and grade of mineralization remain unproven

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2026) - Antimony Resources Corp. (CSE: ATMY) (OTCQB: ATMYF) (FSE: K8J0) (the "Company" or "Antimony Resources" or "ATMY") is pleased to announce that visible gold has been observed in drill core at the Central Zone of the Bald Hill Antimony Property in New Brunswick, Canada. Visible gold (VG) was identified in Central Zone Drill Hole BHC-26-13 at 165.85 meters depth. Examination of the occurrence using a portable XRF reported 285 g/t Gold.

Central Zone
The Central Zone is one of the "New Zones" identified at Bald Hill. It is located approximately 150 to 200 meters south of the Main Zone along strike and thought to be a continuation of the Main Zone. While gold is known to be associated with the Bald Hill Main Zone this is the first identification of visible gold in drilling. Drill hole BHC-26-13 is located near the southern end of the exposed Central Zone and is testing the southern extent of mineralization. The drill hole was aimed to test at depth below a surface trench that contained Stibnite. The gold is seen within pyrite in quartz vein hosted by altered porphyritic rhyolite.
Mr. James Atkinson, PGeo, CEO of Antimony Resources commented, "This is a very exciting discovery. While we have suspected the presence of gold associated with the antimony-bearing stibnite mineralization at Bald Hill and we have received assays indicating the presence of gold; this is the first instance of observing gold in the drill core. While we understand that Bald Hill is dominantly an antimony deposit, the association of antimony and gold is well known worldwide. The presence of gold in the Bald Hill Deposit could add to the economic potential of the deposit. The occurrence of gold in pyrite was initially observed by one of our core loggers, Rosa Toth and subsequently confirmed by our senior geologist, Wazir Khan, and verified by XRF analysis.
We look forward to further exciting results from the Central Zone and the other newly identified areas of mineralization outside the Main Zone."
Central Zone
Drilling is ongoing at the newly identified Central Zone where trenching by ATMY and previous operators has identified antimony-bearing stibnite mineralization. (see Press Release Dated June 25, 2026). This zone had not been drilled in the past and our current program will be a preliminary test of the mineralization below the antimony-bearing stibnite observed in surface trenches.

The Press Release dated July 27, 2026 provided geological descriptions of drillholes into the Central Zone. The presence of stibnite mineralization (the main host for the antimony mineralization) has been noted in the drill holes. Assays have not been received for these holes. The presence of visible gold adds to the potential of the Central Zone.
QA/QC
Samples from the drilling rigs are transported to our secure Core Handling Facility where they are examined by our geotechnical staff. Once the information on core conditions including RQD, lost core etc. are recorded and the core is confirmed to be intact and orderly it is logged and marked for sampling by our professional geological staff. The marked core for sampling is cut by diamond say one half is returned to the box for safekeeping, and one half is placed in plastic bags. The bags are sealed and placed in larger canvas bags for shipment to the Activation Labs Processing facility in Fredericton where they are crushed and prepared for shipment to the assay lab in Ancaster Ontario. The samples are analyzed using Actlabs Method Code 1E3 Aqua Regia ICPOES for the multi element and Code 1A2 Fire Assay AA for gold. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) samples are inserted in the sample runs which include a known standard for antimony and gold, a core duplicate, a blank, and a pulp duplicate. Activation Labs also has standard QA/QC protocols which are reported with each assay batch. Activation Laboratories in an internationally accredited assay Laboratory.
Bald Hill Antimony Project - A Project with Significant Antimony Potential
Highlights
- Bald Hill is a well-known, high-grade antimony deposit in southern New Brunswick, Canada.
- Assays indicate that Bald Hill is the highest-grade antimony deposit in North America with mineable grades and widths indicated by drilling.
- Drilling has outlined an antimony deposit in the Main Zone over 600 meters long and to a depth of at least 350 meters. The mineralization is open in all directions.
- Widths of mineralization average 4 to 5 meters and grades average
3% to4% antimony. - NI-43-101 Technical Report: The estimated potential quantity and grade of the drilled area from the 2025 Technical Report, which is the target of our exploration, is reported in the Technical Reports approximately 2.7 million tonnes with a grade between
3% and4% antimony1. For more details on the Potential of the project as described by the author of the Technical Report please consult the NI43-101 which has been filed on SEDAR. Antimony Resources Corp. has not completed enough work to confirm this estimate. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. - Potential to expand based on recently discovered targets and additional claims added to the property to the west, south and east.
- New Zones outlined by Soil Sampling approximately 3 kilometres south of the Main Zone on the newly acquired Second Run Claim.
