Maxus Mining Hits Visible Antimony in 9 of 11 Drill Holes at Alturas West
Event summary
- Maxus Mining completed its first drill program at Alturas West, intersecting visible antimony mineralization in 9 of 11 holes.
- The program totaled 1,413.5 meters across three drill pads, testing 300 meters of strike length along the Alps-Alturas shear zone.
- Drill hole ALTW-26-006 encountered a locally massive stibnite vein, the most significant mineralization observed.
- Assay results are pending and expected progressively through fall 2026.
The big picture
Maxus Mining's successful inaugural drill program at Alturas West confirms the presence of antimony mineralization, a critical mineral with growing industrial demand. The results position the company to further explore the potential of the Alps-Alturas shear zone, which could become a significant antimony resource. The broader mining sector is increasingly focused on critical minerals, driven by demand from clean energy technologies and geopolitical supply chain considerations.
