Major Antimony Deposit Discovered: American Antimony Corporation (Operating as Xtra Energy Corporation) Confirms Thick, High-Grade Antimony-Gold Dike System at Arrance Mine
Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT) has announced significant drilling results from its Arrance Mine within the American Antimony Project in Nevada. The company completed five reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, with four intercepting substantial stibnite mineralization. The standout discovery was in Hole BC25-03, which revealed a 285-foot continuous dike intercept with strong stibnite mineralization and exceptional gold values, including zones of 107 g/t Au and 190 g/t Au.
The drilling program confirmed a thick, steeply dipping, stibnite-bearing felsite dike system with an estimated true width of 30-45 ft. Notably, the antimony mineralization shows exceptionally low arsenic levels, suggesting favorable metallurgy. This discovery is particularly significant as antimony is classified as a critical mineral essential for defense, semiconductors, and energy storage applications.
Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT) ha annunciato risultati di perforazione significativi dalla miniera Arrance, parte dell'American Antimony Project in Nevada. La società ha completato cinque fori di perforazione a circolazione inversa (RC), quattro dei quali hanno intercettato consistente mineralizzazione di stibnite. Il risultato più rilevante è stato nel foro BC25-03, che ha mostrato un'intercettazione continua di 285 piedi in una dike con forte mineralizzazione di stibnite e valori auriferi eccezionali, con zone a 107 g/t Au e 190 g/t Au.
Il programma di perforazione ha confermato un ampio, ripidamente inclinato sistema di dike felsico contenente stibnite, con una larghezza reale stimata di 30-45 ft. È significativo che la mineralizzazione di antimonio presenti livelli di arsenico eccezionalmente bassi, elemento favorevole per la metallurgia. Questa scoperta è particolarmente rilevante dato che l'antimonio è classificato come un minerale critico essenziale per la difesa, i semiconduttori e le applicazioni di accumulo di energia.

La compañía completó cinco sondajes con circulación inversa (RC), de los cuales cuatro interceptaron mineralización importante de estibnita. El hallazgo más destacado fue en el sondaje BC25-03, que presentó una intercepción continua de 285 pies en una dique con fuerte mineralización de estibnita y valores de oro excepcionales, incluyendo zonas de 107 g/t Au y 190 g/t Au.
El programa de perforación confirmó un sistema de dique félsico portador de estibnita, de gran espesor y pendiente pronunciada, con un ancho verdadero estimado de 30-45 ft. Es notable que la mineralización de antimonio muestre niveles de arsénico excepcionalmente bajos, lo que sugiere una metalurgia favorable. Este descubrimiento es especialmente relevante porque el antimonio está clasificado como un mineral crítico esencial para la defensa, los semiconductores y las aplicaciones de almacenamiento de energía.
Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT)는 네바다의 American Antimony Project 내 Arrance 광산에서 중요한 시추 결과를 발표했습니다. 회사는 역류(Reverse Circulation, RC) 시추공 5개를 완료했으며 그 중 4개에서 상당한 스티브나이트(stibnite) 광화대를 관통했습니다. 가장 눈에 띄는 발견은 BC25-03 공으로, 285피트에 걸친 연속 다이크 관통에서 강한 스티브나이트 광화와 함께 107 g/t Au 및 190 g/t Au 구간 등 탁월한 금 함량을 보였습니다.
시추 프로그램은 두껍고 급경사인 스티브나이트 함유 펠사이트 다이크 시스템을 확인했으며, 실제 두께는 약 30-45 ft로 추정됩니다. 특히 안티모니 광화에서 비소 함량이 매우 낮다는 점은 제련·선광 측면에서 유리합니다. 이 발견은 안티모니가 국방, 반도체 및 에너지 저장 응용에 필수적인 핵심 광물로 분류된다는 점에서 특히 의미가 있습니다.
Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT) a annoncé d'importants résultats de forage sur sa mine Arrance, au sein de l'American Antimony Project au Nevada. La société a réalisé cinq forages en circulation inversée (RC), dont quatre ont intercepté une minéralisation notable en stibnite. La découverte la plus marquante a eu lieu dans le forage BC25-03, qui a révélé une interception continue de 285 pieds dans une dike avec une forte minéralisation en stibnite et des teneurs en or exceptionnelles, incluant des zones à 107 g/t Au et 190 g/t Au.
Le programme de forage a confirmé un système de dikes felsiques porteurs de stibnite, d'épaisseur importante et à fort pendage, avec une épaisseur vraie estimée à 30-45 ft. Il est notable que la minéralisation en antimoine présente des niveaux d'arsenic exceptionnellement faibles, ce qui suggère une métallurgie favorable. Cette découverte est particulièrement importante car l'antimoine est classé comme un minéral critique essentiel pour la défense, les semi‑conducteurs et les applications de stockage d'énergie.
Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT) hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse aus der Arrance-Mine im American Antimony Project in Nevada bekanntgegeben. Das Unternehmen hat fünf Reverse-Circulation-(RC-)Bohrlöcher fertiggestellt, von denen vier umfangreiche Stibnit-Mineralisierungen durchteuften. Der auffälligste Fund war im Bohrloch BC25-03, das eine durchgehende 285 Fuß lange Dike-Interzeption mit starker Stibnit-Mineralisierung und außergewöhnlichen Goldgehalten zeigte, einschließlich Zonen mit 107 g/t Au und 190 g/t Au.
Das Bohrprogramm bestätigte ein dickes, steil einfallendes, stibnitführendes felsitisches Dike-System mit einer geschätzten wahren Mächtigkeit von 30–45 ft. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die Antimon-Mineralisierung außergewöhnlich niedrige Arsengehalte aufweist, was auf günstige metallurgische Eigenschaften hindeutet. Diese Entdeckung ist besonders bedeutsam, da Antimon als kritisches Mineral eingestuft wird, das für Verteidigung, Halbleiter und Energiespeicheranwendungen unerlässlich ist.

285-Foot Stibnite-Bearing Dike Intercepted With Exceptionally Low Arsenic Levels, Suggesting Favorable Metallurgy.
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2025 / Xtra Energy Corporation (OTC PINK:XTPT), a U.S. based company dedicated to securing antimony, a critical mineral vital to national security for its use in defense, semiconductors, and energy storage, is pleased to provide its preliminary drilling report from the Arrance Mine, part of the flagship 4,194 acre American Antimony Project in Nevada's historic Bernice Canyon District.
Investors are cautioned that these results are preliminary, based primarily on visual logging and portable XRF field analysis, and remain subject to confirmation by certified third-party laboratory assays. Samples have been delivered to American Assay Laboratories in Reno, Nevada, and final results will be released following analysis and review by Company geologists.
Program Overview
The initial Arrance Mine drilling program consisted of five reverse circulation (RC) drill holes targeting the main felsite dike structure. Of the five holes drilled, four intersected significant stibnite mineralization, and three holes also returned notable gold values from portable XRF screening. The work confirms the presence of a thick, steeply dipping, stibnite-bearing felsite dike system with encouraging gold credits.

Management Commentary
"The results from Arrance are extremely exciting," said Mac J. Shahsavar, P.Eng., Chairman & CEO of Xtra Energy. "We have confirmed both the thickness and continuity of the mineralized dike, with visible stibnite and exceptionally low arsenic, plus the added benefit of bonanza gold zones. This combination of scale, grade, and metallurgy is rare in antimony systems. Inspired by recent government support for critical mineral projects, such as the U.S. Department of Defense's multibillion-dollar investment in MP Materials and the
