Maxus Mining Highlights High-Grade Antimony Potential at the Alturas West Project in British Columbia

MAXM · Price

Executive Summary

  • Maxus Mining released a detailed summary of historic high‑grade antimony sampling from the Alturas West Block, highlighting grab samples up to 69.98% Sb and historic production of ~95 t averaging 57.2% Sb.
  • The company announced a recent 239 % land expansion of the Alturas West Block through acquisition of adjacent property from Equinox Resources, adding the historic Alps‑Alturas Mine to its footprint.
  • Management emphasized the identification of a 1.7‑km antimony trend and plans for further exploration to delineate the mineralized system.

Key Details

  • Project Scope: Alturas West Block covers 899 ha in BC’s Slocan Mining Division; now includes historic Alps‑Alturas Mine after acquisition.
  • Historic High‑Grade Samples:
  • ALT24‑PS‑R003 – 69.98% Sb
  • ALT24‑JL‑R004 – 67.96% Sb
  • ALT24‑JL‑R005 – 49.98% Sb
  • Historical Production: ~95 t of antimony‑bearing material shipped from Alps‑Alturas Mine, average grade 57.2% Sb; includes 24.5 t at 50‑60% Sb.
  • Surface Sampling Highlights (selected):
  • DV90‑FR3 – >1,000 ppm Sb, 1,711 ppm Cu, 15 ppm Ag
  • DV90‑KR10 – >1,000 ppm Sb (historic dump sample)
  • DV90‑KR11 – >1,000 ppm Sb (chip sample)
  • Additional Geochemical Findings:
  • 4‑kg dump sample from Dolly Varden Prospect assayed 1.3 ppm Au and 1,596 ppm Ag.
  • Anomalous gold values correlate with arsenic; silver, copper, and antimony associations suggest tetrahedrite mineralization.
  • Land Expansion: 239 % increase in Alturas West acreage via acquisition from Equinox Resources, adding historic mine infrastructure and expanding the target shear zone.
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by Morgan Verge, P.Geo., qualified person under NI 43‑101.
  • Management Quote (CEO Scott Walters): “The identification of a 1.7‑kilometre antimony trend… positions the Project as a compelling opportunity within Canada’s growing critical minerals landscape.”

Notable Quotes

“The identification of a 1.7‑kilometre antimony trend through historic sampling marks an important milestone for our team. This discovery positions the Project as a compelling opportunity within Canada’s growing critical minerals landscape, and we look forward to advancing exploration to define the full scope of this mineralized system.” – Scott Walters, CEO
