Maxus Mining Identifies Polymetallic Signatures at Quarry Property
Event summary
- Maxus Mining's 2025 field program at the Quarry Antimony Property in British Columbia confirmed strong polymetallic signatures, including silver, zinc, and lead.
- Assay results from the program yielded values as high as 234 g/t silver, 110 ppm antimony, 0.46% zinc, and 4.67% lead.
- The company plans to integrate these results into a 3D geological model to interpret subsurface geology and mineralization.
- Historical estimates suggest a potential resource of 99,781 tonnes at 1.42% lead, 2.24% zinc, and 36.3 g/t silver, though these are non-compliant with current CIM standards.
The big picture
Maxus Mining's Quarry Antimony Project represents a potentially valuable addition to the company's portfolio of critical metals projects in British Columbia, a region increasingly targeted for its mineral wealth. The project's historical estimates, while requiring significant validation, suggest a substantial polymetallic deposit, but the non-compliant nature of those estimates underscores the risk and capital required for advancement. The focus on integrating historical data with recent findings highlights a common trend in the resource sector – leveraging legacy information to guide modern exploration efforts.
What we're watching
- Resource Verification
- The company's efforts to upgrade and verify the historical resource estimate will be critical to demonstrating the project's true potential, requiring significant investment and time.
- Drill Planning
- The success of future drilling programs, guided by the 3D geological model, will determine whether the mineralization trends can be expanded and the resource estimate can be meaningfully advanced.
- Structural Complexity
- The structurally controlled nature of the mineralization suggests exploration success will depend on detailed mapping and understanding of the geological controls, which could be challenging and costly.
