Azimut Defines Antimony-Gold Zone over 1.8 km Strike and 250 m Depth, Open in All Directions, on the Wabamisk Property, James Bay, Quebec
None
The October 23, 2025 news release provides an update on the delineation diamond drilling program at the Fortin Antimony-Gold Zone on the wholly-owned Wabamisk Property in Quebec. The key takeaways are: - The mineralized zone has been defined over a strike length of 1.8 kilometers and tested down to a vertical depth of 250 meters. - The zone remains open in all directions. - Highlighted drill results include: - WS25-67: 41.9 meters grading 0.89% Antimony (Sb) and 0.65 g/t Gold (Au). - WS25-85: 39.2 meters grading 0.73% Sb and 0.15 g/t Au. - WS25-55: 78.0 meters grading 0.28% Sb and 0.12 g/t Au. - WS25-72: 13.6 meters grading 1.07% Sb and 0.14 g/t Au. - Some narrow, high-grade gold intercepts were also reported, such as 1.3 meters of 6.6 g/t Au in hole WS25-61. - A total of 86 holes (12,286 meters) have now been drilled on the zone. Assays for 7 holes are still pending, and metallurgical test work is underway.
This news is materially positive as it significantly expands the known footprint of the Fortin Zone, a key 100%-owned asset for Azimut.
- Progression and Confirmation: The news demonstrates consistent progress. The zone was initially identified with a 1.2 km strike (Oct 2024). Drilling confirmed mineralization over 1.0 km (Apr 2025) and delivered a headline intercept of 1.1% Sb over 51.5 meters (May 2025). This latest release expands the strike length by 50% to 1.8 km and confirms continuity at depth. The reported grades and widths are consistent with, and supportive of, previous strong results. This is a crucial step in de-risking the project and building a potential tonnage base.
- Not a Game Changer, but a Significant Step-Up: While the results are not demonstrably better than the spectacular intercept from May 2025, their significance lies in the scale they add to the system. Proving up a mineralized zone over a 1.8 km strike length is a major exploration achievement. This is not a routine update; it confirms the geological model and suggests the potential for a large mineralized system, as hoped.
- Context of Other Projects: This news further solidifies Azimut's multi-asset portfolio. It comes on the heels of very positive lithium results from the adjacent Wabamisk East property (Oct 9, 2025), which is optioned to major Rio Tinto. With the Elmer gold project at the resource/scoping study stage and the Kukamas nickel project showing high-grade potential with partner KGHM, the advancement of the 100%-owned Fortin Zone provides another strong pillar for shareholder value.
The expansion of the zone is a tangible asset-building event. The market now has greater confidence that the Fortin Zone is a large, coherent system, justifying continued and more advanced exploration.
Azimut Exploration Inc. is a Quebec-based mineral exploration company that utilizes a proprietary big-data approach (AZtechMine™) for target generation. The company operates as a project generator, often partnering with major mining companies to advance its large portfolio of properties. - Flagship Project: The 100%-owned Elmer project, which hosts the Patwon Gold Deposit. Patwon has a NI 43-101 resource estimate (Jan 2024) of 311,200 oz Indicated and 513,900 oz Inferred. An internal scoping study on the project was initiated in March 2025. - Key Emerging Projects: - Wabamisk Property (100% owned): Now hosting two significant discoveries: the Fortin Antimony-Gold Zone (subject of the latest news) and the newly discovered high-grade Rosa Gold Zone. - Wabamisk East / Corvet / Kaanaayaa (Optioned to Rio Tinto): A strategic partnership focused on lithium, highlighted by a recent high-grade spodumene pegmatite discovery at Wabamisk East. - Kukamas (Optioned to KGHM): A high-grade nickel-PGE discovery (Perseus Zone) being advanced with a major partner.
