Military Metals gets exploration grant for West Gore antimony-gold project in Nova Scotia

AI desk brief

Military Metals received a C$100,000 Nova Scotia exploration grant to support seven drillholes totaling 1,750m at its West Gore antimony-gold project, targeting down-plunge extensions below historical workings. The company cited historical intercepts up to 10.6 g/t gold and 3.4% antimony over 7.1m, with historical district production estimated at 7,761t of antimony concentrate and 7,149oz of gold.

The project is being framed around both gold and antimony, the latter described as a military-critical mineral used in ammunition, explosives, infrared sensors and fireproofing. West Gore remains largely underexplored since early 20th-century mining ceased.
