Military Metals Commences Underground Lidar Survey at Its Flagship Trojárová Antimony-Gold Property in Slovakia, Antimony Achieves New All-Time High Price

Rhea-AI Summary

Military Metals Corp (OTCQB: MILIF) has initiated an underground LIDAR survey at its Trojárová antimony-gold deposit in Slovakia. The survey covers 1.7 kilometers of underground workings, including seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone, aimed at creating a more precise three-dimensional deposit model with SLR Consulting.

The project gains strategic importance as antimony prices reach a new all-time high of USD$59,800 per metric ton in Europe. The company is also collecting over 20 kilograms of mineralized material to develop custom antimony analytical standards for upcoming drilling programs, to be prepared by Canadian Resources Laboratories.

CEO Scott Eldridge emphasizes the project's significance amid Europe's increasing defense sector spending and efforts to establish strategic independence from U.S. military support, positioning Trojárová as a important strategic asset for western antimony supply.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") is pleased to report that its technical team is onsite at the Company's flagship Trojarová antimony-gold deposit to complete a Laser Imaging, Detection and Ranging ("LIDAR") survey of the underground workings. Totalling 1.7 kilometers in length from the portal at the southeast end and in the hanging wall of the mineralized zone, the drift cuts southwest then runs northwest in the footwall of the northwest-striking, northeast-dipping zone. There are seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone itself that were historically developed for sampling purposes. Accurately determining the location of these workings will enable a more precise documentation of the location of all historical underground samples in turn providing for a more accurate three-dimensional deposit model currently being developed by SLR Consulting. The LIDAR survey will be completed this week.

Military's CEO, Scott Eldridge, comments: "The context of our further refining the exploration work at Trojarová demonstrates the need for projects such as these, which have the potential to provide stable sources of antimony to western countries. Specifically, antimony prices continue to achieve new all-time highs; the most recent price posted in Europe is USD$59,800⁽¹⁾ per metric ton. Defense sector spending in Europe is increasing dramatically as the continent races to re-arm. The EU has adopted a much-needed shift toward increased defense and security, and the drive for strategic independence from the U.S. emphasizes Europe's growing efforts to reduce reliance on U.S. military support. The importance of domestically sourced raw materials shines the spotlight on Trojarova as a strategic asset."

Additionally, the team will be collecting 20-plus kilograms of mineralized material from Trojarová so that a custom antimony analytical standard can be developed for Quality Assurance, Quality Control purposes during the forthcoming drilling program at Trojarová. These standards will be prepared for the Company by Canadian Resources Laboratories, a company that specializes in producing certified reference materials for the mining & exploration industry worldwide.
