Bald Hill Antimony Project - A Project with Significant Antimony Potential

Highlights

• Bald Hill is a well-known, high-grade antimony deposit in southern New Brunswick, Canada.
• Assays indicate that Bald Hill is the highest-grade antimony deposit in North America with mineable widths indicated by drilling.
• Drilling has outlined an antimony deposit in the Main Zone over 600 meters long and to a depth of at least 350 meters. The mineralization is open in all directions.
• Widths of mineralization average 4 to 5 meters and grades average 3% to 4% antimony.
• NI-43-101 Technical Report: The estimated potential quantity and grade of the drilled area from the 2025 Technical Report, which is the target of our exploration, is reported in the Technical Reports approximately 2.7 million tonnes with a grade between 3% and 4% antimony¹. For more details on the Potential of the project as described by the author of the Technical Report please consult the NI43-101 which has been filed on SEDAR. Antimony Resources Corp. has not completed enough work to confirm this estimate. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
• Potential to expand based on recently discovered targets and additional claims added to the property to the west, south and east.
• New Zones outlined by Soil Sampling approximately 3 kilometres south of the Main Zone on the newly acquired Second Run Claim.
