Military plans soil geochemical survey at Last Chance

Mr. Scott Eldridge reports MILITARY METALS ANNOUNCES SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAM AT ITS LAST CHANCE ANTIMONY-GOLD PROPERTY IN NEVADA Military Metals Corp. plans to carry out a soil geochemical survey program at its wholly owned Last Chance antimony-gold property, located 18 kilometres west of Kinross Gold's Round Mountain gold mine in south-central Nevada. The survey is scheduled to begin on or around Sept. 29. The purpose of the field program is to follow up on recommendations from the recently completed structural geology field program (see Sept. 9, 2025, news release), with special emphasis on prospective trends that were identified. Last Chance is a historical producer but modern exploration methods have never been applied; the new soil data gathered will be used to further narrow down target areas already identified. Highlights: Soil geochemical survey will collect up to 1,000 samples; Data will be used to fine-tune drill targets examining correlation of structures with alteration and known mineralization; The grid comprises a 75-foot station spacing along lines spaced 150 feet apart; Last Chance is a historical mine, having produced 400 tons of material averaging 20 per cent antimony during the first World War and 29 tons averaging 45 per cent antimony in 1939; Between 1941 and 1942, over 200 tons of stibnite were shipped, with the last reported production comprising 44 tons at between 10 and 15 per cent antimony in 1958; Samples recently taken by company personnel include 6.66 per cent and 11.61 per cent stibnite, ranging from 0.005 per cent to 11.61 per cent stibnite; Disseminated to massive stibnite is most often found in quartz-carbonate veins and quartz-carbonate flooded metasedimentary host rocks in at least three locations over a distance of one kilometre (see also Military's news release dated June 19, 2025). Scott Eldridge, chief executive officer and director stated: "We are in a period of higher demand for defence-related commodities and minerals, placing further importance on antimony; it is needed in greater quantities as more countries modernize equipment. Global competition for antimony has increased the need for domestic sources; it is officially listed as a critical mineral in the U.S., which means it gets special attention in policy and planning. Increased government investment into critical minerals has been observed in the form of grants, equity and loans. "Soil geochemistry is a cost-effective and often powerful tool in areas lacking abundant outcrop that can reveal subtle geochemical footprints at surface. It provides MILI with a cost-effective way to zero in on potentially buried mineralized systems. At Last Chance, soil sampling will help us further pinpoint the structures and halos that appear to be related to stibnite mineralization, sharpening our drill targets and increasing our chances of discovery. Soil geochemical analysis is an inexpensive method to assist in further honing in on drill targets." Results from the geochemical survey will be incorporated with other data gathered on the property to date, enabling discrete drill targets to be delineated to test both for extensions of known, historically developed mineralized structures as well as others indicated by recent and forthcoming fieldwork. Samples will be stored securely prior to shipping them to American Assay Laboratories, located in Sparks, Nev., a roughly three-hour drive from the property. All standard quality assurance/quality control protocols will be implemented to assure accuracy of the results obtained. Management looks forward to releasing and reviewing the results of this forthcoming soil geochemical survey as soon as they become available.
