Maxus Mining Maps Antimony Potential with Airborne Survey

Event summary

  • Maxus Mining initiated a Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) airborne geophysical survey at its Alturas Antimony Project in British Columbia on March 2, 2026.
  • The survey, conducted by Geotech Ltd., will cover approximately 326 line-kilometres across Alturas West and East.
  • Convolutions Geoscience Corporation is providing quality assurance/quality control oversight and strategic interpretation.
  • The survey aims to identify subsurface structures and mineralization controls, with results expected before spring 2026.

The big picture

Maxus Mining's focus on antimony exploration aligns with the increasing global demand for critical minerals used in electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and defense applications. The use of advanced geophysical techniques like VTEM demonstrates a shift towards more targeted and cost-effective exploration strategies, reducing reliance on traditional, higher-cost methods. This survey represents a key step in unlocking the potential of the Alturas project, which holds historical antimony estimates, but lacks a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

What we're watching

Geophysical Insights
The effectiveness of the VTEM survey in delineating mineralization targets will be crucial for guiding subsequent drill programs and defining resource potential at Alturas.
Drilling Execution
The ability to translate the geophysical data into successful drill intercepts will determine whether the survey’s findings translate into tangible resource growth.
Regional Exploration
The survey’s impact on the broader ‘Projects’ portfolio (Quarry, Hurley, Lotto) will reveal the extent of mineralization across Maxus’ holdings and potential for further exploration opportunities.
