Testing Of Historical Leach Pads To Advance The Near-Term Antimony Production Scenario At Limo Butte

VANCOUVER – NevGold Corp. reported that the permits have been received and a drill rig is mobilizing to its Limousine Butte Project in Nevada. The drilling will test the historical gold heap leach pads for antimony with the objective of advancing the leach pads to a near-term antimony production scenario. This is one of the only near-term, at-surface antimony production scenarios in the United States with a path to potential antimony metal production by 2027. 
CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, said, “There are very few opportunities like the near-term antimony production potential from the historical gold leach pads at Limo Butte. There is a clear mandate in the United States to find near-term production from a number of Critical Minerals, and we have one of those opportunities which we are rapidly advancing. We are in an advantageous position as we have oxide antimony at surface amendable to leaching at a brownfield mine site in the State of Nevada, which is one of the top mining jurisdictions globally with a systematic permitting regime and strong community support. Our focus is to drill the leach pads to advance to a Mineral Resource Estimate by the beginning of Q2-2026, which will define the grade and quantities of contained antimony that we have on the pads. Once an MRE is delivered, we will be able to evaluate the various development scenarios to extract the antimony from the leach pads, with the objective of reaching antimony metal production by 2027. We have the opportunity to be one of the near-term solutions to the United States building a fully vertically integrated antimony supply chain.”
