Antimony Resources drills 3 m of 8.48% Sb at Bald Hill

Mr. Jim Atkinson reports ANTIMONY RESOURCES CORP. (ATMY) (ATMYF) (K8J0) REPORTS MORE MASSIVE ANTIMONY-BEARING STIBNITE ("SB") OF 8.48% SB OVER 3.0 METERS AND 2.07% SB OVER 27.05 METERS Antimony Resources Corp. has presented the latest set of high-grade antimony (Sb) assays from the Bald Hill antimony project in New Brunswick, Canada. Assays for drill holes BH-25-17 to BH-25-22 are presented. Antimony Resources completed 5,000 metres of additional drilling during the fall phase 2 program to bring the total drilling completed by Antimony Resources in 2025 to over 8,000 metres in 34 drill holes. The mineralization has been traced over 700 metres and followed to a depth of at least 400 metres. Highlights from latest drilling: High-grade antimony-bearing stibnite (Sb) mineralization continues to be intersected in the drilling completed in the fall of 2025. Multiple zones of antimony-bearing stibnite (Sb) mineralization were encountered in five of the six holes reported. Drill hole BH-25-22 has six individual zones of antimony mineralization. High grades and wide intersections are seen, including up to 2.07 per cent Sb over 27.05 metres and 2.75 per cent Sb over 18.35 metres. High-grade values include 4.4 per cent Sb over 8.6 metres, 11.4 per cent Sb over 1.65 metres and 8.48 per cent Sb over 3.0 metres. The overall average grade of mineralization appears to be in the order of 4 per cent to 5 per cent Sb. The highest values of the grade times thickness to date are 55.99 and 50.46. The mineralization appears to be averaging greater than 4.5 metres in thickness. The results are summarized in the table below. The 2025 drilling programs completed a total of 8,150 metres in 34 drill holes. High-grade antimony-bearing stibnite was intersected in between 75 per cent and 80 per cent of the drill holes, with high-grade values including 4.4 per cent Sb over 8.6 metres, 11.4 per cent Sb over 1.65 metres and 8.48 per cent Sb over 3.0 metres. The overall average grade of mineralization appears to be in the order of 4 per cent to 5 per cent Sb. The antimony-bearing stibnite mineralization in the Main zone has been outlined in surface outcroppings and drilling. As a result of the 2025 drilling program, the Main zone has been extended to a length of over 700 metres, and the depth has been confirmed to at least 400 metres by recent drilling. The mineralization encountered at Bald Hill consists of massive to semi-massive antimony-bearing stibnite, quartz veins and stibnite-bearing breccia. The breccia contains fragments of the enclosing rocks -- metasediments and metavolcanics. On surface, the vein/breccia system of the Main zone strikes north-northwest-south-southeast and dips vertically to steeply to the southwest. The South zone strikes more northwesterly (northwest-southeast). The direction of the newly discovered West zone has not been positively determined. Completion of a 3-D model of the Main zone appears to suggest the presence of at least four zones of high-grade antimony-bearing stibnite mineralization, and recent drilling has suggested that some of these zones may be contiguous. Updated modelling will be completed once all assays and drill logs for the current drilling program have been received. The regional rock units in the area strike to the northeast while the stibnite-bearing breccia zone trends northwest, resulting in situations where the stibnite-bearing structures cut across the surrounding units at a very oblique angle. Changes in the nature of the breccia zone and mineralization are noted as the zone crosses different rock units, but this has not been systematically evaluated. Mineralization is accompanied by alteration consisting of sericite, quartz and carbonate in the surrounding rock units. Bald Hill South The Bald Hill South zone, where recent trenching was completed, is located within a two-kilometre-long antimony-in-soil anomaly. While mineralization has been identified at the northwestern end (the Main zone) and the southeastern end of this trend (Bald Hill South), the area covered by the remainder of the anomaly has not been explored in detail. The 2025 program included trenching and mapping along this anomaly, which identified the probable source of the soil anomaly. Massive antimony-bearing stibnite was identified over a 150-metre-long, northwest-trending zone during trenching in the southern part of the area. The orientation and nature of this zone suggest that it is separate from but parallel to the mineralized Main zone. Work to establish access on the west side of the Main zone uncovered a new zone of massive to semi-massive stibnite (Marcus zone). This is an entirely new area of mineralization that was identified as the snow fell. It will be the focus of further exploration. Jim Atkinson, PGeo, chief executive officer of Antimony Resources, stated: "Our 2025 exploration program at Bald Hill has been very successful and the results are exciting. Drilling at Bald Hill in 2025 totalled over 8,000 metres, bringing the total drilling to date on the property to over 13,800 metres of drilling. Part of the recent program was guided by a 3-D model, which will be updated with the new information from the second phase of drilling. Our drilling extended the Main zone by over 100 metres to the southeast and northwest and to a depth of at least 400 metres, significantly expanding the potential of the deposit. The presence of multiple and thick zones of antimony-bearing stibnite encountered in recent drilling will be important factors in the ultimate resource calculation. "In 2006, we will continue to drill to delineate the mineralized zone. The program is budgeted to include 10,000 metres of drilling with three drills and, because of our recently closed financing, is fully funded. "During 2026, we will be working with consultants to discuss the appropriate drill density, continuity et cetera for resource calculations later in 2026 or early 2027. This consultation will also develop a road map to permitting, including an environmental assessment. This work has already begun. "We are very excited by our new discoveries on the property. The trenching on the South zone has identified stibnite-bearing boulders and stibnite in outcrop in this area over 150 metres. The discovery of the West zone (Marcus zone) was accomplished by our field crew as the snow was starting to fly and will be an exciting target for further trenching as soon as the snow clears. They can't wait to get back into the field." Bald Hill antimony project Highlights from exploration: Bald Hill is a well-known, high-grade antimony deposit in southern New Brunswick. Past work including drilling has outlined an antimony deposit over 700 metres long. Widths of mineralization average three to four metres and grades average 3 per cent to 4 per cent antimony. National Instrument 43-101 technical report: The estimated potential quantity and grade of the drilled area from the 2025 technical report, which is the target of the company's exploration, are 2.7 million tonnes with a grade between 3 per cent and 4 per cent antimony (80,000 to 106,000 tonnes of contained antimony). Antimony Resources has not completed enough work to confirm this estimate. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Potential to expand based on additional known targets and additional claims added to the property.

Sampling procedures -- quality assurance/quality control Analytical services were provided by Actlabs, which is an independent, CALA- and SCC-accredited analytical services firm registered to ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 standards. NQ drill core samples were logged and split in half with a diamond core saw. Half-core samples were securely stored at the core logging facility until being delivered to Actlabs' Fredericton lab by staff of Antimony Resources. Samples were crushed (less than seven kilograms) up to 90 per cent passing two millimetres (10 mesh), riffle split to 250 grams and pulverized by mild steel to 95 per cent passing 105 micrometres (150 mesh). Samples splits underwent a four-acid near-total digestion followed by a multielement analysis, including base metals, using an ICP method for 35 elements. Results over the detection limits were rerun using assay techniques. Antimony Resources conducted a comprehensive QA/QC program for the analysis comprising approximately 20 per cent for each batch, including one sample of certified reference material, one sample duplicate of split core, one pulp duplicate taken at the lab and one blank sample for each batch of 25 samples. The laboratory also completed QA/QC procedures including duplicates, method blanks and standards. An additional 13-per-cent QA/QC was performed as part of the instrumental analysis to ensure quality in the areas of instrumental drift. About Antimony Resources Corp.
