Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire - October 24, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") announces it has signed a binding LOI to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area. West Gore is a brownfield project with past production, historical high-grade drill results include 7.07 metres of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony. During a period of production, it was Canada's most prominent antimony mine.

West Gore consists of four Exploration Licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares to the immediate northwest of the Project, comprising the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and its historical mine workings. The Company has a three-year option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses for $235,000 spread over the term and the sellers will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") with standard buy-back provisions. It is anticipated the Company will announce the Definitive Agreement within ten days.

The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined yielding over 7,000 metric tons of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored.

With the acquisition of the new claims the Company has gained complete coverage over the entire mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn enables the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.

Antimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Whereas the fold belt strikes northeast-southwest, mineralized structures trend northwest-southeast.
