NevGold Expands Oxide Gold and Antimony Mineralization at Nevada's Limousine Butte
Event summary
- NevGold reported oxide gold mineralization expansion both inside and outside the 2026 pit-shell at its Limousine Butte Project in Nevada.
- Drill hole LB26-007 Lower intercepted 1.06 g/t oxide gold over 42.7 meters outside the pit-shell, while LB26-004 returned 5.00 g/t oxide gold over 3.0 meters inside the pit-shell.
- Antimony was also detected in the system, with LB26-007 Upper returning 0.20% antimony over 16.8 meters.
- The company has completed 40 holes with 33 assays still pending and is fully funded for the next 12 to 18 months with over $45 million in treasury.
The big picture
NevGold's findings are part of a broader trend in Nevada's oxide gold districts, where companies are re-examining historical data for critical minerals like antimony. The strategic shift is driven by antimony's designation as a critical mineral in the U.S. and tightening Chinese export controls. The company's ability to expand both oxide gold and antimony mineralization positions it favorably in a market increasingly focused on dual-revenue streams from established mining districts.
