A2 Gold sees gold-antimony system at Taylor

AUAU · Price

Executive Summary

  • A2 Gold Corp. has identified district-scale antimony mineralization spatially associated with gold across its Taylor Silver-Gold Project in Nevada, highlighting significant multimetal exploration potential.
  • Historical records and recent sampling confirm widespread antimony anomalies across ~10 sq km, with high-grade historical drill intercepts and recent surface channel samples returning up to 21.6% antimony.
  • The company is designing a 2026 exploration program to drill antimony targets alongside gold, aiming to confirm the genetic relationship between the metals and potentially incorporate antimony into future NI 43-101 resource estimates.

Key Details

  • Project Location: Taylor Silver-Gold Project, White Pine County, Nevada.
  • Antimony Footprint: Widespread mineralization covering approximately 10 square kilometres.
  • Historical Mines: Enterprise mine (operated late 1930s–early 1940s) and Merrimac mine (operated late 1950s–early 1960s).
  • Historical Enterprise Grades: Reported sorted, high-grade antimony mineralization ranging from 39% to 76% Sb.
  • Historical Merrimac Drill Intercepts:
  • 7.01% Sb over 4.3m (starting 4.3m from surface)
  • 4.61% Sb and 0.53 g/t Au over 4.6m (starting 4.6m from surface)
  • 3.79% Sb over 5.5m (starting 3.0m from surface)
  • 3.34% Sb over 11.6m (starting 3.0m from surface)
  • Recent Surface Channel Samples: Returned high-grade antimony mineralization at 18.4% Sb and 21.6% Sb.
  • Gold Exploration Corridor: 3 km by 10 km corridor of anomalous gold defined by surface and soil sampling.
  • Gold Channel Samples: Up to 4.2 g/t Au over 11m, including 7.1 g/t Au over 3.3m.
  • Gold Drill Intercept (SPT-66): 1.02 g/t Au over 18.3m starting at surface.
  • 2026 Exploration Program: Plans to drill test priority antimony targets identified via geochemistry/geophysics, evaluate the spatial/genetic relationship between antimony and gold, and assess antimony for potential inclusion in future resource estimates.
  • NI 43-101 Resource Estimate: Planned update will focus on expanding gold and silver resources while evaluating additional metals present in the system.
  • Data Verification: Historical figures and drill results are derived from historical records and have not been independently verified by the company.
  • Qualified Person: John Marma, P.G. (AIPG), reviewed and approved technical content under NI 43-101.

Notable Quotes

  • Peter Gianulis, CEO: "The Taylor project continues to demonstrate significant exploration potential across multiple metals. In addition to the large silver system and strong gold potential already identified, the district hosts extensive antimony mineralization across a large footprint."
  • Peter Gianulis, CEO: "Our exploration strategy will focus on advancing the gold and silver resources while also evaluating the antimony potential through targeted drilling programs. We believe Taylor has the potential to emerge as an important precious metals and critical minerals exploration project in Nevada."
