Limo Butte Geology & Antimony Potential
A evaluate of historic geochemical and drilling knowledge on the Limousine Butte Venture has recognized a number of areas with sturdy gold-antimony potential. These zones correlate intently with outcrops of the Devonian Pilot Shale, the first host rock for Carlin-type gold mineralization within the space. Optimistic gold grade at Limousine Butte is often related to silicification and the formation of jasperoid breccias inside the Pilot Shale, an alteration function additionally noticed within the constructive antimony outcomes.
By the Venture knowledge evaluate, the Firm uncovered experiences detailing two small-scale historic mining operations on the Nevada Antimony Mine and Lage Antimony Prospect inside the Limo Butte Venture boundary. The Nevada Antimony Mine featured two prospect pits that extracted stibnite (components: Sb2S3) from a hydrothermal breccia. The Lage Antimony Prospect reported historic unverified sampling outcomes with as much as 14.46% Antimony with extra prospect pits extracting antimony.
Historic geochemical rock chip sampling inside the past-producing Golden Butte pit from a Brigham Younger College (“BYU”) Thesis research produced quite a few outcomes that exceeded 1% antimony in jasperoid breccias (see Determine 1). A number of outcomes have been larger then 5% antimony, together with a pattern of 9.6% antimony with seen stibnite and stibiconite. BYU Thesis Report
NevGold VP Exploration, Greg French, feedback: “The re-assay program continues to supply constructive gold-antimony outcomes. The gold-antimony mineralization within the northwest-southeast course at Resurrection Ridge extends roughly 500 meters (Determine 2) and stays open to the east. Earlier geological fashions have interpreted the dolomite cowl to be the bottom unit that’s beneath mineralization. Re-logging drill holes and the outcroppings to the east point out that the dolomite cowl is definitely a thrust plate over the host Pilot Shale unit, increasing the potential goal space. We’ve got at present outlined over 5 km of strike size between Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley, and we’ll proceed to investigate the info from each of those goal areas to include ends in the planning for the following drill program and metallurgical check work.”

US Govt Order – Introduced March 20, 2025
The Firm is happy to report the current, sweeping Executive Order to strengthen American mineral manufacturing and cut back U.S. reliance on international nations for its mineral provide. Antimony (Sb) has been recognized as an essential “Important Mineral” in america important for nationwide safety, clear power, and expertise purposes, but no domestically mined provide at present exists.
The Govt Order invokes the usage of the Protection Manufacturing Act as a part of a broad United States (“US”) Authorities effort to broaden home minerals manufacturing on nationwide safety grounds. Because it pertains to undertaking allowing, the Order states that it’ll “determine precedence initiatives that may be instantly authorized or for which allows may be instantly issued, and take all vital or acceptable actions…to expedite and situation the related permits or approvals.” Moreover, the Order contains provisions to speed up entry to non-public and public capital for home initiatives, together with the creation of a “devoted mineral and mineral manufacturing fund for home investments” beneath the Improvement Finance Company (“DFC”).
This decisive motion by the US Authorities highlights the pressing must broaden home minerals output to help provide chain safety in america. This essential Order will assist revitalize home mineral manufacturing by bettering the allowing course of and offering monetary help to qualifying home initiatives.
Significance of Antimony
Antimony is taken into account a “Important Mineral” by america based mostly on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 checklist (U.S.G.S. (2022)). “Important Minerals” are metals and non-metals important to the economic system and nationwide safety. Antimony is utilized in all manners of army purposes, together with the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night time imaginative and prescient goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and manufacturing, tritium manufacturing, flares, army clothes, and communication tools. Different makes use of embrace expertise (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electrical switches, fluorescent lighting, top quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.
Globally, roughly 90% of the world’s present antimony provide is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Starting on September 15, 2024, China, which is liable for practically half of all international mined antimony output and dominates international refinement and processing, introduced that it’ll limit antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to america citing its twin army and civilian makes use of, which additional exacerbated international provide chain issues. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Division of Protection (“DOD”) has designated antimony as a “Important Mineral” on account of its significance in nationwide safety, and governments are actually prioritizing home manufacturing to mitigate provide chain disruptions. Initiatives exploring antimony sources in North America play a key position in addressing these challenges.
Perpetua Sources Corp. (“Perpetua”, NASDAQ:PPTA, TSX:PPTA) has essentially the most superior home gold-antimony undertaking in america. Perpetua’s undertaking, referred to as Stibnite, is positioned in Idaho roughly 130 km northeast of NevGold’s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus initiatives. Optimistic developments at Stibnite together with the technical improvement and allowing has led to US$75 million in Division of Protection (“DOD”) awards, and over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Financial institution of america (“US EXIM”) (see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024) (Perpetua Sources. (2025))
