Military Metals Announces Grab Sample Results up to 40.6% Antimony and 106.5 gpt Gold from Stockpile of Historically Mined Material at West Gore Antimony-Gold Project, Nova Scotia
Rhea-AI Summary
Military Metals Corp. (OTCQB: MILIF) has reported exceptional grab sample results from its West Gore antimony-gold project in Nova Scotia, Canada. The analysis of five samples from a historical mine stockpile revealed grades up to 40.6% antimony and 106.5 gpt gold, with average results of 17.94% antimony and 34.68 gpt gold across all samples.
The results validate historical production data from 1914-1917, when West Gore was a significant antimony producer during World War One. The company has identified three high-priority drill targets that were previously unexplored and plans to commence a drilling program. The project's historical production included 32,000 metric tons of ore, yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony metal and 6,861 ounces of gold.

Note: Grab samples are selective by nature and samples visually estimated to be high-grade were intentionally selected for characterization in this exercise. The results presented in this news release should not be considered overall representative of the historically exploited West Gore deposit or the stockpile from which they were chosen. The historical nature of this stockpile is unknown.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control:
The samples were analyzed at the laboratories of ALS Canada in Vancouver. Samples were crushed, split, ground, split, and a 35 gram portion subjected to a four-acid digestion followed by Induction Coupled Plasma ("ICP") - Mass Spectrometry ("MS") analysis. Over-limit samples for gold and antimony (all five of them) were analyzed by fire assay and ICP- Atomic Emission Spectrometry ("AES") analysis, respectively. Internal Quality Assurance - Quality Control protocols were followed by the lab including blanks, standards, and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.
Mining History and Geology of the Region:
Gold in Nova Scotia was first discovered in 1860, which led to gold rushes throughout many parts of the province over the years following. Gold production in the Rawdon hills began in 1884 and continued until 1932 from several mines. Gold deposits of Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane typically occur as relatively shallow-dipping, bedding-parallel "saddle reef" type vein systems controlled by regional fold structures. Gold deposits of the Rawdon area, which is found at the east edge of West Gore, are uniquely characterized by the occurrence of steeply east-dipping gold-bearing veins striking north-northwest across bedding. The Government of Nova Scotia's Mineral Occurrence Database reports that historical production from the Rawdon Hills area mines totaled 13,494 ounces. Antimony is a common accessory element in many gold mines around the world, occasionally occurring in higher concentrations.
