Military Metals Files Appeal with Government Regarding Decision on Trojarova Antimony License, Europe
Slovak regulatory reversal threatens flagship antimony asset; appeal filed as cash runway tightens.

Executive Summary
- Military Metals Corp. has formally filed an appeal with the Slovak Ministry of the Environment regarding the unexpected cancellation of its exploration license for the Trojarova Antimony-Gold Project.
- The cancellation was triggered by an unscheduled regulatory review, which the company argues contradicts the project's inclusion in Slovakia's National Program for Critical Mineral Raw Materials (dated February 20, 2025).
- The appeal was submitted within the mandatory 15-day window, and management intends to pursue all legal avenues to restore the permit.
- The company explicitly discloses that there is no assurance the appeal will succeed or that the exploration rights will be restored.
- This follows a series of positive technical updates in early 2026, including a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (67kt Sb, 222koz Au) and high-grade drilling results, which are now directly threatened by the regulatory setback.
Material Impact
- The cancellation of the Trojarova exploration license represents a direct loss of rights to the company's flagship asset, which was the primary catalyst for the December 2025 private placement (~$3M CAD).
- While the appeal is a standard procedural step, it introduces significant regulatory uncertainty and potential timeline delays for any future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) or infill drilling.
- The loss of the Slovak permit forces management to pivot exploration capital toward earlier-stage assets (NevGold in Nevada, Last Chance in Nevada, West Gore in Nova Scotia), which lack the defined resource base and regulatory recognition of Trojarova.
- Financially, the burn rate (~$1M CAD per quarter based on Q1 2026) combined with the loss of the flagship project's near-term monetization path increases the likelihood of future dilutive financings if the appeal drags on or fails.
