Maxus Mining Extends Polymetallic Mineralization at Quarry Project
Event summary
- Maxus Mining released analytical results from the 2025 field program at its Quarry Antimony Property in British Columbia.
- Grab samples returned significant values including 60.8 g/t Ag, 3.36% Zn, and 4.09% Pb, and 23.7 g/t Ag, 10.5% Zn, and 1.92% Pb.
- Exploration has extended the footprint of polymetallic mineralization to over 350 metres in strike length at the Bullseye Zone.
- Historical estimates suggest a potential resource of 99,781 tonnes @ 1.42% Pb, 2.24% Zn, and 36.3 g/t Ag, though these are non-compliant with current standards.
The big picture
Maxus Mining’s results highlight the ongoing interest in Canadian base metal exploration, particularly in regions with historical mining activity. The extension of mineralization at Quarry suggests a potentially larger polymetallic system, but the reliance on historical data underscores the need for significant reinvestment to meet modern reporting standards. The project’s location in British Columbia benefits from a supportive mining regulatory environment, but also faces the challenges of remote access and infrastructure.
What we're watching
- Resource Validation
- The company will need to invest in modern exploration and drilling to validate and potentially reclassify the historical resource estimates, which are currently non-compliant with NI 43-101.
- Structural Control
- Further mapping and targeted sampling along the identified E–W shear zone and NE–SW trend will be critical to understanding the extent and grade distribution of the mineralization.
- Funding Needs
- Advancing the Quarry project and potentially developing a compliant resource estimate will require significant capital, and the company's ability to secure funding will be a key determinant of future progress.
