Trigg Minerals has commenced exploration at its newly acquired Antimony Canyon Project in Utah, USA.

The project hosts a historical (non-JORC compliant) resource estimate of 100,330 tonnes of antimony, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Situated in a mining-friendly jurisdiction, the project is well positioned to benefit from supportive regulatory environment.

With the United States prioritising domestic antimony supply for its critical uses—including national security—there is strong potential for federal support. This could follow the example of Perpetua Resources $PPTA, which secured US$75 million in government grants and a US$1.8 billion EXIM loan offer to advance its Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho.

The current resource at Antimony Canyon is based on a small number of historic mines within the tenement, presenting a significant opportunity to grow the resource through systematic modern exploration.
