Xtra Energy Corp. Breaks Ground at American Antimony Project in Nevada
Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT) has commenced road construction at its American Antimony Project in Nevada following BLM's acceptance of the reclamation bond. The project features 22+ historic surface stockpiles with sampling grades up to 33% Sb and an average of 12.8%.
The company plans to begin its Phase 1 drill program and stockpile assessment next week, targeting the first 2,100 tons of material for metallurgical testing and potential sales. The project aims to become a crucial domestic source of antimony, essential for munitions, semiconductors, and grid-scale energy storage, particularly significant amid Pentagon's recent halt on certain munitions exports due to low U.S. stockpiles.
Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT) ha iniziato i lavori di costruzione stradale presso il suo Progetto American Antimony in Nevada, dopo l'accettazione della cauzione di bonifica da parte del BLM. Il progetto comprende oltre 22 cumuli storici di materiale in superficie con campionamenti che mostrano concentrazioni fino al 33% di Sb e una media del 12,8%.
L'azienda prevede di avviare la prima fase del programma di perforazione e la valutazione dei cumuli la prossima settimana, con l'obiettivo di selezionare i primi 2.100 tonnellate di materiale per test metallurgici e potenziali vendite. Il progetto mira a diventare una fonte nazionale fondamentale di antimonio, essenziale per munizioni, semiconduttori e sistemi di accumulo energetico su larga scala, particolarmente rilevante in seguito alla recente sospensione da parte del Pentagono di alcune esportazioni di munizioni a causa delle scorte statunitensi ridotte.

La compañía planea iniciar la fase 1 del programa de perforación y evaluación de pilas la próxima semana, apuntando a las primeras 2,100 toneladas de material para pruebas metalúrgicas y posibles ventas. El proyecto busca convertirse en una fuente doméstica clave de antimonio, esencial para municiones, semiconductores y almacenamiento de energía a gran escala, especialmente relevante tras la reciente suspensión por parte del Pentágono de ciertas exportaciones de municiones debido a las bajas reservas en EE.UU.
Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT)는 BLM이 복구 보증금을 승인한 후 네바다의 American Antimony 프로젝트에서 도로 건설을 시작했습니다. 이 프로젝트에는 22개 이상의 역사적 지상 적치장이 있으며, 시료 등급은 최대 33% Sb, 평균은 12.8%에 달합니다.
회사는 다음 주에 1단계 시추 프로그램과 적치장 평가를 시작할 계획이며, 최초 2,100톤의 물질을 대상으로 야금 시험 및 잠재적 판매를 목표로 하고 있습니다. 이 프로젝트는 탄약, 반도체, 대규모 에너지 저장에 필수적인 안티모니의 국내 주요 공급원이 되는 것을 목표로 하며, 최근 미 국방부가 미국 내 재고 부족으로 인해 일부 탄약 수출을 중단한 상황에서 특히 중요합니다.
Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT) a débuté la construction de routes sur son projet American Antimony dans le Nevada suite à l'acceptation par le BLM de la garantie de réhabilitation. Le projet comprend plus de 22 stocks historiques en surface avec des teneurs en échantillons allant jusqu'à 33% Sb et une moyenne de 12,8%.
La société prévoit de lancer la phase 1 du programme de forage et l'évaluation des stocks la semaine prochaine, ciblant les premières 2 100 tonnes de matériau pour des tests métallurgiques et des ventes potentielles. Le projet vise à devenir une source nationale clé d'antimoine, essentiel pour les munitions, les semi-conducteurs et le stockage d'énergie à grande échelle, ce qui est particulièrement important suite à l'arrêt récent par le Pentagone de certaines exportations de munitions en raison des faibles stocks américains.
Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT) hat mit dem Straßenbau bei seinem American Antimony Projekt in Nevada begonnen, nachdem die BLM die Rekultivierungsbürgschaft akzeptiert hat. Das Projekt umfasst über 22 historische Oberflächenlagerstätten mit Probenergebnissen von bis zu 33% Sb und einem Durchschnitt von 12,8%.
Das Unternehmen plant, nächste Woche mit dem Phase-1-Bohrprogramm und der Bewertung der Lagerstätten zu beginnen, wobei die ersten 2.100 Tonnen Material für metallurgische Tests und potenzielle Verkäufe vorgesehen sind. Das Projekt soll eine wichtige inländische Quelle für Antimon werden, das für Munition, Halbleiter und großflächige Energiespeicherung unerlässlich ist – besonders bedeutsam angesichts des jüngsten Exportstopps bestimmter Munition durch das Pentagon aufgrund niedriger US-Bestände.
- Initial stockpile sampling shows high-grade antimony content up to 33% Sb with 12.8% average
- Project represents one of the only known U.S.-based antimony production opportunities
- Strategic timing aligns with Pentagon's urgent need for domestic antimony supply
- Potential for early revenue generation from existing surface stockpiles
- Project still in early development phase with infrastructure work just beginning
- Metallurgical testing yet to be completed to confirm commercial viability
Roadwork Now Underway, Drilling and Stockpile Assessment Set to Begin Next Week
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 / Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:XTPT) is pleased to announce that road construction has officially begun at its American Antimony Project in Nevada. This milestone follows the successful posting and formal acceptance of the Company's reclamation bond by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-the final regulatory requirement prior to ground activity.
Construction crews are now fully mobilized on-site, and initial roadwork is progressing on schedule. Completion is expected within the next week, allowing XTPT to immediately launch its Phase 1 drill program and begin detailed sampling and assessment of over 22 historic high-grade surface stockpiles.
"We're now in motion," said Mac J. Shahsavar, P.Eng., Chairman & CEO of XTPT. "This development signals the beginning of a transformative phase for the Company. Our team has positioned itself to execute quickly, and with roadwork nearing completion, we're set to open access to both subsurface drill targets and surface stockpiles that could generate early revenue."
Project Highlights:
22+ historic surface stockpiles identified across the site, created during WWI and WWII
Sampling from initial piles has returned grades up to
33% Sb, with an average of12.8% First 2,100 tons of material targeted for metallurgical testing and potential near-term sale
Drilling to test extensions of high-grade stibnite veins and felsite dikes along a 4-kilometer corridor
The American Antimony Project is one of the only known U.S.-based projects with the potential to deliver domestic antimony production-a material vital for munitions, semiconductors, and grid-scale energy storage.
Strategic Timing Amid Geopolitical Shifts
The Company's development efforts come at a time of renewed urgency for domestic defense supply chains. With the Pentagon now halting certain munitions exports due to low U.S. stockpiles, the need for a reliable domestic source of antimony has become more critical than ever.
XTPT is on track to not only advance exploration but to play a key role in restoring American antimony production capacity for the first time in decades.
