Core Insights - Critical One Energy Inc. has identified significant potential expansions to mineralization at its Howells Lake Antimony-Gold Project through advanced geophysical and geological modeling of a recent VTEM airborne survey [1][2] - The new interpretive results confirm the potential for discovering additional areas of mineralization containing both antimony and gold, extending laterally for at least 2 kilometers [1][3] - The Howells Lake Project is positioned as a cornerstone asset with exceptional exploration and development potential for antimony and gold [2] Geophysical Survey Findings - The recent VTEM geophysical survey and geological modeling revealed characteristics of antimony-gold mineralization extending west, northeast, and at depth from previously discovered areas [2] - Modelled EM conductors indicate a steeply dipping stratigraphy extending to depths greater than 300 meters [1][3] - Historical drilling at Howells Lake West Zone intersected up to 4.7% antimony and 25.5 g/t gold over 1.43 meters, while the East Zone showed up to 75% antimony over 8.35 meters [3] Resource and Exploration Potential - The Howells Lake Project hosts a historical resource of 1.7 million tons at a grade of 1.4% antimony with associated gold mineralization, although this resource is not NI 43-101 compliant [4] - Geological mapping and significant drilling will be required to establish a compliant resource estimate [4] - The project is the only significant new antimony-gold project in Ontario, with North American production currently limited to a few sources [3][4] Strategic Positioning - Critical One Energy Inc. is strategically positioned to meet the rising global demand for critical minerals, focusing on antimony and gold exploration in Canada [10] - The company aims to leverage its technical, managerial, and financial expertise to drive growth and deliver value to shareholders [10]
