American Antimony Corporation Identifies Two Additional High-Grade Stockpiles for Testing, Expanding Near-Term Ore Inventory by up to 13,000 Tonnes at the American Antimony Project, Bernice Canyon, Nevada

Rhea-AI Summary

American Antimony Corporation (OTCID:XTPT) identified two additional surface stockpiles near the King Solomon zone at Bernice Canyon, adding an estimated 13,000 tonnes of high-grade material for metallurgical testing. Combined with the previously confirmed 6,700 tonnes at IHX, staged evaluation now targets ~20,000 tonnes of readily accessible ore.

Samples are being shipped under Metallurgical Testing Agreements (MTAs); a first shipment from IHX was sent Oct 1, 2025 and received Oct 6, 2025. Portable XRF readings show values up to 43% Sb.

Positive

• Additional inventory of ~13,000 tonnes identified at King Solomon
• Total surface material near 20,000 tonnes for staged testing
• First metallurgical test shipment shipped Oct 1, 2025 and received Oct 6, 2025
• High-grade assay signal portable XRF readings up to 43% Sb
• MTAs in place to evaluate recovery and product specifications

Negative

• None.

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2025 / American Antimony Corporation (OTCID:XTPT), operating as Xtra Energy Corporation, is pleased to announce the identification of two additional surface stockpiles for metallurgical testing and sampling at the Company's flagship American Antimony Project in Nevada's historic Bernice Canyon District. These new discoveries significantly expand the volume of readily accessible, high-grade material available for near-term commercial testing and processing.

Stockpile Expansion Highlights

• Two Newly Identified Piles: Located near the King Solomon zone, both show strong visual stibnite mineralization consistent with previously sampled high-grade material.

• Additional Estimated 13,000 tonnes: Combined with the previously confirmed 6,700 tonnes at IHX, total surface material now available for staged evaluation is near 20,000 tonnes.

• Metallurgical Testing: Samples are being collected and shipped under Metallurgical Testing Agreements (MTAs) with prospective mill partners and buyers to evaluate recovery rates and product specifications. The first test shipment, sourced from the 6,700 tonnes at the IHX Zone, was shipped October 1st and received October 6th by a prospective mill and buyer for upcoming testing under a MTA. A second test shipment is now being prepared from the additional 13,000 tonnes of newly identified material at the King Solomon stockpiles, representing the next phase of metallurgical verification and commercialization.

• Objective: Advance toward early commercial shipments and the establishment of a U.S.-sourced antimony supply chain.

CEO Commentary

"The identification of these additional stockpiles marks another important step in transitioning from exploration toward near-term revenue generation," said Mac J. Shahsavar, P.Eng., Chairman & CEO. "With 20,000 tonnes of mineralized material now catalogued for testing, we are well-positioned to begin demonstrating the commercial viability of the American Antimony Project. The continuity and scale we're seeing across the IHX, King Solomon, and Antimony King zones further confirm the district's remarkable potential."

Strategic Significance

The expansion of high-grade surface inventory strengthens the Company's early-stage commercialization plan while drilling and resource modeling continue across the broader 4,153-acre property. Low arsenic concentrations (typically <200 ppm) remain a key metallurgical advantage, supporting cleaner concentrate recovery compared to many global sources.
