Critical Minerals Race Heats Up as Antimony Demand Accelerates Worldwide

• On 2026‑04‑08 Military Metals announced a maiden inferred mineral resource estimate for its flagship Trojávová Project in western Slovakia.
• The estimate comprises 6.5 Mt at 1.02 % Sb and 1.06 g/t Au, translating to 67 kt of antimony and 222 koz of gold – the largest antimony resource defined under modern CIM standards in the European Union and among the world’s biggest.
• The estimate is based on 53 diamond drill holes (7,167 m) and 55 underground chip‑sample intervals (202 m), prepared by SLR Consulting following CIM 2014 definition standards.
• Assumptions used: antimony price US$29,000/t; gold price US$3,000/oz. The resource is open at depth and laterally, suggesting upside potential with further drilling.

• Materiality: This is a new resource estimate that materially upgrades the company’s asset base from historic, non‑NI 43‑101 figures to a modern, NI 43‑101‑compliant inferred resource. The size and grade are significant for a junior explorer and align with EU strategic goals for domestic antimony supply.
• Market reaction potential: The announcement is likely to be viewed positively by investors focused on critical minerals, especially given the scarcity of non‑Chinese antimony sources. The news exceeds prior expectations (previous releases only hinted at upcoming resource work).
• Risk considerations: As an inferred resource, it remains speculative; conversion to indicated/measured will require additional drilling and metallurgical work. Commodity price assumptions are modest relative to recent market spikes (antimony has traded above US$50k/t), which could further improve economics if realized.

Military Metals Corp. is a junior explorer focused on antimony – a critical mineral for flame retardants, batteries, and defense applications – and gold as a by‑product. Its Trojávová Project in western Slovakia hosts the EU’s largest modern antimony resource (67 kt Sb) with associated gold (222 koz). The project is royalty‑free after a CAD $162.8k NSR buy‑back, improving economics.
