First Phase Drilling Program Completed At The Bald Hill Antimony Project

VANCOUVER – Antimony Resources Corp. reported that the first Phase drilling program has been completed at the Bald Hill Antimony Project in New Brunswick for a total of 16 drill holes totalling over 3150 meters. The following photos show examples of the massive antimony bearing stibnite mineralization encountered in Drill Hole BH25-05 Note that the darker sections contain massive, breccia filling and stringers of antimony bearing stibnite.

The mineralization encountered is described as consisting of massive antimony stibnite, stibnite veins and stibnite bearing breccia. The breccia contains fragments of the enclosing rocks – metasediments and metavolcanics.

On surface the vein/breccia system strikes NNW and dips vertically to steeply to the southwest. The rock units in the area strike to the northeast with the situation that the Stibnite-bearing structures cut across the surrounding units at a very oblique angle. Mineralization is surrounded by alteration consisting of sericite, quartz and carbonate.

The prospecting efforts of our staff have identified zones of massive antimony bearing stibnite mineralization on the surface which extend the potential for at least 200 meters to the southeast from the present drill locations. Identification of the surface exposures together with the model created for the mineralization was essential in focusing the drill program.

Jim Atkinson, P. Geo., CEO, “I am very pleased with the diamond drilling to date. The identification of antimony bearing stibnite in a majority of the holes indicates that the Bald Hill Main Zone is a high-grade antimony deposit. We are anxiously awaiting the next batch of assay which should be released from the laboratory soon. As the drilling progressed batches of samples were submitted to the laboratory on a regular basis, which should mean a continuous flow of results over the next couple of months.”
